I Love You All The Same Review and Giveaway

Image
As we have 6 kids this was a perfect book. Just because you have 5 other siblings does not mean you are all the same. This book is a family of 3 bear cubs. Not one of them is the same. They don't look alike or act alike. The bear cubs even eat different things. I think this would have made a great book for foster and adoptive families. We got lucky because the tiny human we are adopting looks just like our other children. But this would be great for them. The pages all are also in rhyme. Most little ones like that. No wonder Dr. Seuss is so popular. Features & Benefits: •A perfect way for parents to tell their children how much they love each of them •Great purchase for parents and grandparents looking for ways to show siblings how they are each special and unique •Good resource to prepare big brothers and sisters for new members (and personalities!) coming into the family •Adorable art from Alison Edgson makes this a great purchase for a baby shower, a gift for a new

Cool Gear Mason Jar Drinking Cup Review

Image
When this cup arrived to review, I had an all out war over who got to have this cup! Each of my teens have already made me promise to pick one up for them at Walmart or CVS. There are 7 different designs to choose from. Each so unique and perfect for you to pick for your personality. These cost $10.99 http://www.coolgearinc.com/mason-jars/index.html There is even a plain colored one with no design that also comes in 5 different colors. These cost $9.99 http://www.coolgearinc.com/mason-jars/plastic-mason-jar.html We have spotted these and other Cool Gear products at Walmart here in Missouri. We have quite a few of their chiller cups. The girls got their Halloween ones this year and a couple of them even lit up. Each 16oz Mason jar is very sturdy with it's double walled plastic. The graphics will not fade since they are inside the plastic. We put ours in the top shelf of the dishwasher. I would not put on the bottom shelf. Just because these look like canning jars, the

SCENSIBLES Review + Giveaway

Image
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Such a great idea, especially for teens. We have bags to keep from leaving dog poop on the ground, bags for diapers when out in public so perfect that now they have them for feminine hygiene products. The Scensibles product should be something, in my opinion, that pediatricians offices should hand out for girls first periods. This might make it a little less embarrassing for your girl. I have 2 teens plus myself that use these products. The girls stalls get pretty nasty smelling with girls products. When you use Scensibles they have a light scent to them. You just put your used pad or tampon in then and tie it off. Ready to throw in the trash :) Much more discrete. SCENSIBLES are specially designed scented personal-size oxo-biodegradable plastic bags for clean, easy, discreet disposal of feminine care products: sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners, personal wipes and bladder control pads. Stylish opaque pink on pink flo

Sea Life Aquarium

Image
My 10 year old is a huge animal fan. Animals of all type. Her absolute favorite is penguins. We did not see any penguins at the aquarium but we did get to see so many different water life. As you go into the Sea Life area they take your picture. You can purchase this picture at the end of your "tour". I think they cost from $15-$30 depending on size. After the picture they hand you a card with spaces to scratch off circles. As you go through the place there are questions, in certain sections. For each question you scratch off the correct circle. As you are leaving and are going through the gift shop you will get a free gift for turning this sheet in. The prize is a gold circle on a ribbon. Sort of like you discovered treasure Then as you come around the corner there are bathrooms and a "touch" pond. You can pet shrimp starfish sea anemone This, in my opinion, was the girls favorite part of Sea Life. I have always called my husband a lobster beca

NEWLY DESIGNED! Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror

Image
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Ok so, I have to admit, I really didn't think this would work. Even the glass of water I take into the bathroom with me during hot baths and showers, fogs up. So we get this mirror in the mail and immediately take it out and make the bathroom extremely hot. We turn on the hot water only and let it run. When the mirror, in the bathroom, was all fogged up good we look down and guess what? The Cassani Shower Mirror was still super easy to see. No fog just perfect sight to see yourself in. I definitely recommend this mirror. It is not heavy or breakable either. This package comes with the hanging brackets and a hanger for your razor. •HIGHEST RATED SHOWER MIRROR FOR SHAVING: Our design, stainless steel hooks, and advanced technology leads the way in customer satisfaction. •NO MORE MESSY SINKS - Plus! Detachable Fogless Mirror is ideal for home or travel use - Hassle-Free 100% MoneyBack Guarantee if you are not fully s

Sleep Headphones Review

Since I allowed my oldest teen to review this item, here are the things that she said. These can either be for a boy/girl or man/woman, the colors are for both sexes Since there is a built in, optional microphone, they are great for skyping or facetiming. Has great sound quality If you are in school, she says, that they are easy hidden behind your ear and under your hair. (not that I condone you hiding ear phones at school) Great for running in also, as they do not fall out of the ears. There is a hook on them. They come with an 2 extra sets of foam covers in different colors Comes with a neat carry case and face mask for when you sleep Why would you sleep without the sounds or music that you want to?
