Chew Beads Review

Image
The idea for Chewbeads began in 2009 shortly after the birth of my son. Like most babies, he loved to put everything in his mouth and my necklaces were a favorite. Like most moms, I didn't feel comfortable letting him chew on them, with concern that they might break or have unwanted chemicals. As a veteran of the fashion industry, I had an amazing collection of necklaces and bracelets, so with those as my inspiration, I set out to create soft, non-toxic jewelry, which was colorful, chic and, above all else safe. Hence, Chewbeads! Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples) Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth Easily cleaned with dish soap & water, also dishwasher safe! No BPA, PVC, Phthalates, Cadmium, or Lead Necklaces have a breakaway clasp for added safety Necklaces are a great sensory tool to help your baby focus while nursing Bracelets are a colorful reminder of which side you've just nursed I have to say that Chew Beads a

Borax a Purex laundry solution

Image
Does your laundry detergent not quite cut it sometimes? 20 Mule Team Borax increases your detergents cleaning power and controls odors to give you fresh, clean laundry! My house has sporty children and a couple fishers. We constantly have some stinky smells that radiate in our laundry room. Between football, cheerleading and that nasty fish smell we loved the Borax boost. One of my favorite smells is the laundry isle at the super market. But we can only use Purex and Era in our house because of my sons sensitive skin. We tried all detergents and landed on Purex because of its gentle scent but great laundry cleaning qualities! Borax was not only great for the laundry boost but was great for animal and child spills. With a dog, 2 cats, 6 kids and a guinea pig our carpets take a beating also. It was great to mix with a little water and scrub on the spots and bye bye stain! I definitely recommend 20 Mule Team Borax! It takes the hard work our of my daily Mommy choirs! (great fo

Woolzies dryer Balls Review

Image
These dryer balls are a neat invention. It is definately a money saver. Each box of WOOLZIES contains 6 handmade woolen dryer balls. The cost per box is $34.95 with FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the USA including Alaska and Hawaii. These are $34.95 for 1000 dries or more. A box of dryer sheets usually have around 45 sheets a box which costs around $5-7 a box. So if you do that math boxes of dryer sheets for a 1000 dries would cost around $133. Do you see the savings?? With a family of 8 at this moment this is a great savings. Great for the enviroment also. So if you are doing things green this is the way to go. Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles

Awesome Wexy Bags Review

We used these bags to even hold Mayo for my oldest sons sandwich. They are nice and heavy duty bags. No leaking! These are BPA free and biodegradable. There are 4 monster designs in each box of 28. They are also made right here in the USA so that is a plus also. Inspired by kids and created by moms, WEXY snack bags are the perfect way to change the very image of "healthy" food for your kids.

That's why WEXY snack bags are as good to the globe (eco-friendly) as they are to your child's body. With their commitment to organic foods and practices, Tracey and Carie believe that sustaining our health means sustaining the earth as well.

Hair Loss Helper Fibond Review

Fibond instantly bonds to your hair, giving you a natural looking thick and full head of hair until you shampoo. It's safe to use with other hair products and works for both men and women. For just $29.95 you can get this bottle of Fibond and hide the hair loss you are ashamed of. Here is how simple it is to use: This is not a hair paint. To me it looked like real pieces of hair that bond to the spot that is missing some of its personal hair. This is a neat product for men and women. Fibond is not processed animal fur or some unnatural chemical fiber made up in a lab. Its hair building fibers are natural ones that bind to your own hair to instantly make it look thicker and fuller. Made of all plant resin, these fibers act in a similar way to the keratin compound that is human hair. It really did the job! Thank you Fibond for letting us try this out! They have bottles for lots of hair colors check them out at http://www.fibond.com/index.html I received one or

Batiste Try it Dry Review

Image
Shampoo for the busy house! Busy house totally explains my house. We are always running somewhere. I have a cheerleader, a football player and we are youth leaders at our church. You can imagine with 6 kids there is never down time. Baby Magic carries a no wash baby wash but did not know there was such a thing for adults until I saw Batiste. They don't only have 1 kind either. Batiste has a few different scents and some for specific hair colors. Try it Dry works for quick washes on long hair also. My girls have long and thick hair yet it cleans as easy and nice as the boys shorter hair. Just put in hands and rub in. No water needed! Great for cheer hair! I fully recommend this product! Summers are full of events, outdoor activities and long weekends. Batiste is a quick and convenient way to give your hair the boost it needs! Batiste banishes oily roots and revitalizes greasy, dull & lifeless hair between washes, without water. Most dry shampoos are made with corn st

Reading Kingdom Review

Reading Kingdom is an award-winning online program that teaches children 4-10 to read and write to a 3rd grade level. The program is based on the work of Dr. Marion Blank from Columbia University, one of the world's top experts on reading and language development. It uses her patented and research based "6-SIM" (Six Skill Integrated Method) technique that yields incredible results. When you long into their website you can get a free 30 day trial of their program. http://www.readingkingdom.com/ If you have a child who struggles in reading and learning to read then this is a great program for you! We kept our 6 year old back in Kindergarten this year because of his struggles. I am hoping to have him work on Reading Kingdom along with his school work this year and hoping this gets him on his level. Most kids can navigate this site all on their own. Your child being able to navigate these type programs on their own is a plus. It isn't always easy for you as a pare
