My Thoughts on Wilton As everyone knows I am a huge Wilton fan. I have been decorating cakessince I was 8 years old and Wilton has always been a big part of my cakedecorating. But, what about the other amazing products that Wilton has tooffer? Prior this review I had never tried out their shaped cookie sheets. Ihad seen them around but I don’t really know why I had never thought topurchase them. I was sent a couple of Wilton’s Valentines Cookie Sheets and of courseI am thrilled. The cookies baked very evenly in the sheets and came out withbreeze. I was also very impressed with how well I could see the impressions ofthe “Kiss me” or the parts of the teddy bear. I loved the cookie sheets so muchthat I went to my local Target and purchased all of the Wilton Cookie sheetsthey had available. The cookies were much thicker than a standard cookie andwere almost like cake in the center. This was a huge hit with my family and mytwo bathes of cookies were gone in a flash! … [Read more...]
Purosol Review
My Thoughts on Purosol I have not cleaned my computer screen in the five years that Ihave had it. I am a freak if anyone touches the screen because I don’t want itto get nasty but before Purosol I had never seen a product that I felt safeenough to spray on my screen. Purosolis an all natural formula that is safe and effective during the screen cleaningof your electronics. LCD and Plasma screens will now be a breeze! I spent theday cleaning all of the screens in my home including the computers, cellphones, T.V.’s and even my daughters hand held electronics such as her Leapsterand DS. Touse the Purosol you just spray it on the screen or cloth (that comes with it)and clean off in a circular motion. My computer and T.V. screens were coveredin finger prints and it took me a few times before I had it squeaky clean butthe Purosol really worked! I also had a day care kiddo color with a crayon onone of my T.V.’s and I was having a hard time getting that off prior to … [Read more...]

Zippo Candle Lighter Review
My Thoughts on Zippo’s Candle Lighter Zippo is a name I have trusted for years! But I had never branched out to see the varies products they sell! Beyond a basic lighter I had never used any other products! I received a Candle Lighter from Zippo for the purpose of my review. When I first set up this review I knew the candle lighter would be wonderful! I would not expect anything less from Zippo. I was also quickly impressed with the fun designs that Zippo sells and fell in love with the Snowflake and Asian Floral! I also like that the lighter is easy for me to light but not so easy for the kids. There is a button on the back of the lighter that must be pushed at the same time as raising the button on the front. This is a safety feature that I am very impressed with! My Zippo Candle lighter was packaged very nicely in what I can only describe as its own mini suitcase! I love the packaging! It was almost as cute and fun as the candle lighter itself! Zippo’s Candle Lighters … [Read more...]

Purely Night Light Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Purely Healthy Night Light Upon hearing about the Purely Night Light I knew it had to do something healthy but I did not know just what. So I looked it up and instantly knew it would be a perfect fit for my family. My husband and daughter suffer from allergies. We have an air purifier in the main part of the house to help them out but nothing in the bedrooms. The Purely Night Light is an air purifier inside of an LED night light. It is purifying the air 24 hours a day even when the light is off! On the front of the package it clearly states that the night light contains a Built-in Ionizer and will clean the air while your family sleeps. The feature of this night light is so unique and much better for my family. But, what would the cost be to run one? About the same as a standard night light! So for around the same price I am getting two in one! The Purely Night Light will soon have replaced all of the night lights placed around my home. The Purely Night Light … [Read more...]
Zippo Hand Warmer Review
My Thoughts on Zippo’s Hand Warmer There are two outdoor activities that are commonly done in the Colorado Mountains during the winter months, Skiing and snow machining. Both of which can get cold very fast. One thing every skier or snow mobiler knows is that it is always important to keep safety items with you at all times. For my family that includes Zippo hand warmers. When I first seen the pitch to review Zippo’s hand warmers I was surprised. I never knew they made products like that. When you think Zippo you think lighters but not hand warmers. I was thrilled. I always stock up on items like that and that is an easy gift that I know each person in my family would love as a gift. You never know when you might need a hand warmer for comfort or for safety. The overall look is appealing and can even be customized with a personalized message! I like the overall size of the hand warmer as it fits nicely into a pocket. I was not able to get a full 12 hours out of the cup but … [Read more...]
James Beards American Cookery Review
My Thoughts on James Beard’s American Cookery I received an American Cookery cookbook for the purpose of my review. When I first opened the package I was amazed at just how big this cookbook is. No wonder they call it the Bible of American cooking! It’s Huge! Just like with the other cook books I decided to cook whatever recipe was on the random page that I opened up too. It happened to be yummy Corn Beef Hash! I had never cooked my own Corn Beef Hash before and was a little nervous to try it out. I love Corn Beef Hash and it is my number one breakfast choice whenever we eat out. For the Hash all I had to do was cook up a corn beef and slice it up thinly. I was also surprised at how few ingredients are really in Corn Beef Hash, Especially the spices. There were only two! I am not going to give them away to you as I would love for you to purchase this cook book and try it out for yourself! Buy It! You may go HERE to purchase your James Beard’s American Cookery!!!

Tassimo T20 Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Tassimo’s T20 I am not a huge coffee drinker but at the same time I just had to try out Tassimos T20 as I have heard the most amazing things about this wonderful machine! Boy, was everything I heard right! I love that the Tassimo T20 can scan the t-discs that are placed in it and when it scans the bar code it will know exactly how much water to place in each cup that is brewed. I also love that there are T-discs for not only coffee but also hot tea and hot cocoa. All I have to do is place the T-disc in the machine, Press the button, and it will heat up the water and brew it up in less than one minute. Also for those of you that love you’re lattes and cappuccinos there is no fear as the Tassimo T20 will brew those as well. You can purchase separate T-discs for the milk and espresso. There are also many brands that carry the T-discs so no matter the brand you enjoy most you will be able to find a T-Disc for your personal needs.
