Antho Beauty Purists Review! My thoughts on Antho Beauty Purists is simple, it captures everything we really desire in a skin care line and is affordable to do so. Antho stands behind every single product they make and I cannot even begin to tell how excited I am after trying some of their products! I am truly in love with the lemongrass shire body scrub, strawberry dessert face mask and the face serum. More about that in a minute! I at first was skeptical because knowing that they are organic, vegan, all natural and cruelty free sounded just too perfect. But think about it, Antho using fewer impurities in their products means that you are putting fewer impurities on your skin which is something that I for one desire and hope you do too! Yet another great fact about this company and their products is that they are made in the USA and are eco-friendly! So after hearing about all the amazing facts about this company I will now tell … [Read more...]
Udderly Smooth Review!
Udderly Smooth® Review! My thoughts on Udderly Smooth® products – I simply have the driest hands, ever since my daughter was born I started using hand sanitizer so much that my hands would crack and bleed and now that my daughter is nine, my hands still need some serious moisturizing since my habit of hand sanitizing hasn’t subsided. Udderly Smooth® body cream isn’t flashy, doesn’t have sparkles in it, and doesn’t come in a variety of perfume scents. Udderly Smooth® body cream is just a white cream that you apply to your skin and once you do, you will see why this product doesn’t need to be flashy or mask itself with perfumes and glitter. This cream is absolutely amazing and it does its job better than I had ever imagined! I honestly cannot stand a hand cream that leaves behind a greasy feel, especially when you want to continue on with your day typing, driving, petting the dog…things people do. I do wish I had known about this product when my daughter was born because she … [Read more...]

I think it’s safe to say that it’s the book of all books when it comes to pregnancy! Heidi Murkoff now has this amazing workout dvd jam packed with ideas on how to keep your body healthy during pregnancy.

They really did think of it all when … [Read more...]
RX Timer Cap Review!
RX Timer Cap Review! My thoughts on the RX Timer Cap – Safety should be a huge thing in every household and it is for my house and this product has helped in keeping everyone in check and safe. The RX Timer Cap is a brilliant way to keep track of the last time you took your medicine! Busy parents that need to remember the every 4-6 hours to give medicine to their children, or adults like myself who can’t remember exactly when the last time the pill was taken. If you are like me, you are going to love this product! This is simple and easy to use. The RX Timer Cap is like a stopwatch inside a lid and has an LCD screen that starts tracking time as soon as you put the lid on. Once you remove the lid to take your pill, it will reset itself back to zero and start over and keep track for you! The battery life on a lid can last up to a year!

I’m So Glad - Alex & the Kaleidoscope Band Review! My thoughts on the cd I’m So Glad by Alex & the Kaleidoscope Band is nothing short of fun and positive tunes for the whole family.

Alex & the Kaleidoscope Band have released yet another great cd and this time “I’m So Glad” is one that you won’t want to miss out on.

My son’s favorite on this album is “Kangaroo” because every time he hears this song start he has to get up and start jumping like a kangaroo and the energy this song puts out without … [Read more...]
Tiny Toon Crazy Crew Rescues Review!
Tiny Toon Adventures Crazy Crew Rescues Review! My thoughts on Steven Spielberg’s Tiny Toon Adventures, Crazy Crew Rescues - They’re back!! This two disc dvd set is packed full of our favorite episodes with the cute, hilarious and slightly sarcastic characters! Ok I am using the term sarcastic very loosely but I loved it back in the day and still enjoy it today I have to admit! Buster and Babs Bunny are the best hosts for this show and there just isn’t a character to compare Elmyra to. Let’s not forget Plucky Duck and his hilarious mannerisms! This is the fast paced animated show where there are jokes around every corner. I happen to love when they go back in time and show how Plucky Duck was when he was a baby, it’s stinkin adorable and you can’t help but laugh! My kids think it’s hilarious that their mom has the theme song memorized but little do they know that I learned it from their father. He happens to be the Acme Looniversity expert here and yes we … [Read more...]

Now I know some of you may still be buried knee deep in snow and watching the icicles out your kitchen window and for that I am truly sorry about jumping the gun here on this post. Think of this as a way to help inspire ideas on how you are going to spend your time in the spring! But, for me here in sunny California, I can feel it, hear it and smell it, no not the traffic, I am talking about spring time! Oh yes its arrival is headed here sooner than we think! I can hear the birds chirping and I can see blooms on the flowers are starting to attract the bees. Now is the time to start thinking my friend. What will you be doing to your garden this year?! Or will you be starting a new garden or simply be planting some flowers?! I don’t know about you but I always have huge ambitions for gardening every single year and I only end up accomplishing a few goals from my dream gardening list but hey, it’s better than not crossing off anything on my list! There just isn’t anything … [Read more...]

My daughter tends to “borrow” my hair accessories more and more and this one is right up her alley since I have very short hair. She has the hair for it and loves to just keep a hair tie on her wrist just in case she wants to pull her hair back. These scünci® Ponytailer Bracelet’s look much better … [Read more...]
Mini Mouth Review!
Mini Mouth Review! This Thinkfun Mini Mouth word game can be entertaining for the whole family! It actually is recommended for ages 8 and above but my son who is seven did great with it! Thinkfun has some amazing games and they didn't disappoint with this one! Mini Mouth can be a fast paced game or a “go at your own speed” type of game. It will challenge the younger players and keep the older ones thinking of new words to create with their tiles. Who doesn’t love educational games that are actually quite fun to play?! Your kids will get a kick out of watching you create anywhere from 2-5 letter words as they are challenged to create their own. The game starts out with having you turn all the green tiles upside down and each player choses tiles and the first to call out a word gets the tiles. Now, of course you can always make up many ways to play word games with these tiles but overall the game is a very creative and fast paced … [Read more...]

Joe team being forced out and made as fugitives … [Read more...]
The Character Box Review!
The Character Box Review! My thoughts on The Character Box – When I first received this box I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pretty intrigued to say the least to see how my kids would react to this new “game” and the word amazed just doesn’t even begin to describe what our experiences have been when we play out of The Character Box! Ok, so you get this wooden box and when you open it, inside are 12 different pins you can put onto your shirt and each pin has a different character trait on it such as fairness, integrity, respect etc. Intrigued would be how I was feeling at this point! There is a card that explains the game and cards that have a little description of a situation on them and then a question about what you would do or how you would act with the character trait pin you are wearing. Let me tell you, this is where the magic begins on this game. Understanding each trait is the … [Read more...]
The Colored Pencil Factory Review!
The Colored Pencil Factory Review! My thoughts on Astrograss The Colored Pencil Factory cd – I find this cd to be very upbeat and fun to listen to whether I had kids listening along with me or not! This cd is the third cd done by the band Astrograss and they did not disappoint their fans! You will first find your pen tapping on the table, followed by your foot going along with the rhythm and then all of a sudden you will just give up and go dance with the kids! Ok that was me, I just couldn’t help myself. I thought I would get some paperwork done while the cd entertained the kids but it ended up being a dance session for us all! This blue grass/folk style of music is definitely energized! They have some really fun songs on this cd that I haven’t ever heard before such as my favorite Music Makes Me Feel and my daughter’s favorite, Hey Blue Dog. But they also have a fun tune to a classic Shortenin’ Bread. The band is proud with being a group that doesn’t need to be in a … [Read more...]

By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen & Jennifer Quasha – Ok here is yet another book that will capture your attention with the first story you read!
