I will know next time only cups with lids. My tip to you: Always be prepared!

Chewy.com Review

To me my cat is just as much one of my children as my daughter is,They are both around the same age and grew up together She was almost a year old and he was five months when we received him. Every year I try to get him new toys at Christmas as well so when I received the chance to do a review with the company Mr. Chewy I could not refuse.



For my recent review I received the chance to pick a few things out for him on their website, I picked some cat food,kitty litter & a new cat toy for him to play with,As you can see above he knew right away the box was for him. The shipping is quite fast & they offer a monthly plan that allows you to pick out the food or pet supplies you need,and will deliver them monthly at the same time for a fee,For those who are unable to get out of the house or have a hard time on their own this is a wonderful option. The site offers a huge selection of Dog & Cat products ranging from Food,to toys & bedding they even offer pet medication. I think they have great prices,fast shipping and wonderful customer service, I would love to see them add more areas for other pets such as small mammals,birds,ect. My cat is enjoying his wet cat food and his fresh litter,The toy I picked out for him is a little heavier than I thought it would be but he still plays with it frequently. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Family Bedrock Review

I am always on the hunt for fun new baby products for my son who is due in Feb. On my search I happened to find a company called Family Bedrock who offers a fun range of baby items including Crazy Creatures Designs Bibs & Pacifiers.

For a recent review I was sent a Crocodile Pacifier & Flame Pacifier,I think these pacifiers are so much fun because they make your child appear to have Crocodile teeth,A clowns mouth/smile and more. They each have a unique and fun design which is sure to please the eye. Here is a little bit about the Pacifiers: "They are BPA and DEHP free!!, They have been been tested and meet strict USA, Australian and international standards. They are made from high quality food grade silicone,and come in three sizes (Newborn, 6-12 months, 12+ months) so there is something for everyone." I personally enjoy the shape and size of this Pacifier it is one of the better pacifiers I have seen or have owned. Family Bedrock also offers Cloth Diapers & items for older children feel free to check out their website as everything is price at great prices. The shipping from Family Bedrock was faster than I had expected and their customer service is very friendly, I would personally do business with them again and purchase more of their fun products. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

DaddyScrubs Giveaway & Review

Along with a new baby comes new baby gear this time not only do I want myself to be prepared but I want my husband to have everything he needs as well so when I heard about the website DaddyScrubs who offers expectant father gifts I knew I had to have a look for myself. What is DaddyScrubs? "DaddyScrubs is the offspring of Robert Nickell, who fathered his first four children more than 20 years ago. DaddyScrubs was conceived when Robert, who remarried in 2007, discovered he was about to be a father all over again in the fall of 2009! Not wanting to endure the pains of wearing uncomfortable street clothes while comforting his laboring wife, Robert hatched the idea of creating doctor-like scrubs for himself. It seemed a natural thing for him to do — since Robert is a pharmacist by profession. To eliminate the confusion between “who’s the doctor” and “who’s the daddy,” Robert fashioned the concept of “I’m The Daddy” medical scrubs."

For a recent review I was sent The Daddy Diaper Pack, It comes in basic black & is the ultimate backpack for Dads with full straps and clips to lock it down, and to take it off quickly and easily.The custom design allows less fumbling through deep pockets and eliminates struggling to take off the pack while holding baby. The side pockets are great for water bottles, baby bottles, and sippy cups. There’s a big pouch for diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes (and of course a small one for the “dirty stuff”). Since our son isn't quite here yet my husband tested out this pack by carrying around some of his things for the week,He loves the pack & keeps finding new things he loves about the back pack. My husband enjoys that fact it is easy to put on & take off,it holds plenty of things & has a variety of pocket sizes so you can bring everything you need for baby. I also plan on using this when our little man comes because this is better than the diaper bag we had for our daughter it is much bigger & easier to find/access the items you are in need of. The bag costs a little bit more than I would pay for a pack but it is worth the price and is sure to last a long time,The pack retails for $69.95. DaddyScrubs also carries Sweaters,Hats,Books,Scrubs & daddy to be gifts all at different prices. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive a pair of DaddyScrubs in Navy,Green or Khaki. This giveaway is open to US & Canadian residents only.

I am quite excited I recently received a Blue Snow Flakes Hand Woven Coconut Fiber Doormat from Entryways USA . Why am I so excited? This is the first doormat we have had for our apartment in the two years we have been here & it is a holiday doormat so it helps me decorate the outside.

    

"This beautifully designed hand-woven doormat will enhance your entry way or patio. It is made from the highest quality all natural coconut fiber." Made from all-natural coconut fiber which is an excellent dirt-trapper; 3/4 in. thickness,This mat is stenciled with permanent fade resistant dyes. It measures 18 in. x 30 in." The mat is light weight but heavy enough that it stays in place,there are quite a few times when we have come into the house after walking through the grass to get to the path way my husband has drug mud into the house & onto the carpets we haven't had that issue since. Normally I don't like doormat's that are similar made to this because they tend to leave pieces of it all over & fall apart easily but I enjoy this mat because it doesn't do that. Entryways USA offers a wide range of doormats for different seasons,holidays & made from an assortment of materials. You can find their mats at some local hardware stores, garden centers, Whole Foods, & gift stores Or online at wayfair.com, hayneedle.com, amazon.com or debnroo.com ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

PinyPon Mommy Party!

We had a rather busy Thanksgiving weekend, To help my daughter & her cousin along with a some friends unwind after the busy and somewhat hectic Holiday we spent Friday participating in a Mommy Party from the brand PinyPon.

What is a PinyPon? They are a mini-dolls world inhabited by independent and modern girls, who love fashion, accessories and the newest hairstyles. Shopping is one of their favorite things to do! With their pets, they travel the world in their super-cool van going to new places and making new friends. Pinypon is a colorful collection of interchangeable friends. You can mix and match everything - dresses, accessories, hairstyles and even faces, for tons of fun! We invited some of my daughters cousins and friends over to experience PinyPon and play with a doll of their own,During the party we decorated cupcakes,colored,made home made Christmas cards stacking them in a fashion similar to the dolls using stickers and cut outs from construction paper and of course the girls played with the dolls.



What did the children think of the dolls? They loved them each girl was super excited to open up their new doll and give her a test run the girls were surprised to find that the hair,head,accessories,ect come apart allowing you to swap pieces with other figures. The girls loved the dolls but what did the parents think? Most of the parents enjoyed the dolls everyone thought they were cute,a fun toy to play with because they are mix and match and the best part everyone loved is that they are affordable each doll sells on average for $2.99 a doll and gives hours of entertainment. Part of the party kit included two PinyPon Caravan "Go on a road trip in the super cool Pinypon Caravan -a fully loaded house on wheels! It even has a shower and mirror! Includes a Pinypon colorful friend and loveable pet, lounge chair, surf board, picnic table, picnic accessories and swimming pool for a day full of fun!"



We played with one at the party and the other was used as a raffle prize for one of the lucky children to take home,My daughters favorite part of this toy is that the top part of the van can be taken off & used as a boat in the pool or in the bath tub. Included in the kit they sent two Nenuco "New Born Makes Bubbles" dolls which were also used as raffle prizes. All of the girls had a wonderful time at the party they enjoyed both playing with the PinyPon dolls and spending time together, Before taking photos I asked all of the parents for permission to photograph their children those who said No did not get their photos taken/aren't shown in the party photos to make it easy we had two separate tables set up for the kids so we could photograph one. If you want to check out PinyPon or Nenuco you can do so by clicking on their name to visit their websites. Want to see more photos from the party?

YouCopia Giveaway & Review

Living in an apartment space is limited & one of the places that always seem the most crowded was our spice cabinet it was always a pain having to push aside a dozen spices before finding the one we needed so I was very happy to receive a chance to work with YouCopia on a review & giveaway.



For a recent review I was sent a Chef’s Edition SpiceStack,This product is Ideal for large spice collections, the Chef’s Edition SpiceStack organizes 30 spice bottles in the kitchen cabinet. Clever drawers lower to display labels at eye-level, so you can quickly find your spices while cooking. What are the benefits of this product? It includes 96 (48 printed, 48 blank) drawer labels,it offers organizing spaces for 30 full-size or 60 half-size spice bottles it has Non-skid feet hold unit securely in place & it is already put together so there is nothing to assemble.The spice stack was a little large to fit into my cabinet but it fits perfectly on my counter top next to our stove, This stack makes it simple & easy to find the spice we need when we are cooking. Since we tend to cook a lot I organized my stack by putting the most used spices on the first shelf and descended it down from there I haven't had to push aside any spices in order to find the right one since I received this product and I couldn't be happier I wish I would have bought one sooner. In addition to spice stacks Youcopia also offers Coffee stacks that fit K-cups & Medicine stacks for your bathroom all at low prices. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Wonder Forge Review!

My daughter is at an age where she can now understand & enjoy board games the only down side is our board game selection is limited so when I was offered a chance to work with a fantastic company called Wonder Forge I couldn't refuse.

I was recently sent The Enchanted Cupcake Party Game & The Dazzling Princess Game which are perfect for the age range of 3-5 years old. The Dazzling Princess Game gives your little girl the chance to celebrate her favorite princesses and collect sparkling jewels to decorate the bracelet, ring,and tiara included. This is a fun fantasy-filled dress-up game which all little girls will love to play. There is enough in this game for four girls to play at one time & offers half an hour to two hours of game play depending on how concentrated they are when they play. I personally think this game is adorable,but I do have to mention that is has some smaller pieces so I would make sure the girls play in a clean area where the pieces will be easy to pick up. The Dazzling Princess Game retails for $19.99. The next game we played was The Enchanted Cupcake Party Game "You’re invited to a cupcake party with all your favorite princesses! Work together to make as many cupcakes as you can before it’s time for the party. Follow the recipe cards to pick the perfect fancy liner, frosting, and topper. Each cupcake creation is fit for a princess in this sweet game of matching and sharing." I think this is a fun and interactive game to play with your little girl each time you pick a card you build your cupcake(s) based on the color or item on the card,By the end of the game you can have some pretty funny looking creations. The cupcake game is perfect for two players or more if you choose,My daughter loves playing this game, This game retails for $16.99. My daughter & I have enjoyed playing the games we received from Wonder Forge and have played/purchased some of their games in the past my local Target carries them so we always have them close for when were looking for a new game.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Curly Q Giveaway & Review

I am a bit picky about my wall art so when I find a website that offers fun,bright & nice wall art or home decor I book mark it so I can come back and pick up a few things for my home. I recently received a wonderful chance to work with a company called Curly Q who specializes in Wall decals,Clocks,Wall lettering & Holiday decorations.



For a recent review I was able to pick out a few of my favorites from the website,It was hard to make a choice but in the end I decided to get the Butterfly Wall Decals in Black,Bats Halloween Wall Decals in Black & Stars And Moon Wall Decal Set in Yellow. The decals arrived fast & in perfect condition inside of a round shipping tube to keep the decals from being smashed, I was excited to see how they looked in person & how well they worked. The decals are true to how they look in the photos online which is always a great thing to find out because a lot of items look different from the photos shown whether it is size,color,lighting,ect some items just disappoint but these items didn't. Since we live in an apartment & I can't technically stick things like wall decals to the wall I have come up with a different way to display them depending on the image I either put them into a nice photo frame or I will apply them to a semi-thick piece of construction paper or poster board & use a small piece of tape on the back to stick them to the walls. I find it helps keep them in perfect condition longer,Can be moved around more often & can be stored easily when not in use. The decals were easy to apply the peeled off the transfer paper easily & stick very well when you are applying it to the item you would like. My favorite part about wall decals is that it they don't have to go on the wall I have stuck mine on my daughters dresser,Designed her a fun kids table,& more there is an unlimited amount of ways you can use these decals. A major positive aspect about Curly Q is that the decals are all at low affordable prices keeping your wallet happy and your walls looking their best. Curly Q offers a variety of Kids decals,House decals and Holiday decals along with some very cute wall clocks.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
