My Thoughts on Tellurian Baby Products New babies are fresh and delicate and I never want to pit anything on their skin that has harmful chemicals. But sometimes you just don't know what is in a bottle of lotion or a baby shampoo. Are the ingredients truly healthy for your child? Tellurian baby is an all natural line of baby items. They sell diaper cream, shampoo, oil, body wash, lotion, and 2 n 1 shampoo and body wash. When I was first asked to review Tellurian’s Natural Baby products I had never heard of them but after reading a little about their company I knew it would be a good fit to share with you. The products were shipped to my door quickly and were packaged nice and tight! The look of the Tellurian products are cute and fun the design on the label is eye catching and unique. Each bottle has it’s very own look and I really like the pump feature on the shampoo, body wash, and lotion bottles because it makes it easy quick and easy to use. You can also turn the top a … [Read more...]
Lee (The Generals) Book Review
My Thoughts on Lee (The Generals) A Life of Virtue By John Perry I love learning about fun stuff that happened in the past. History type books are the best. That is why I could not wait to read Lee The Generals by John Perry! This book truly took me on a journey of the life that General Lee lived. Everything from Lee’s childhood, to his marriage, and then through the birth and lives of his children. I learned each place that Lee traveled during his time in the military as well as some interesting facts that happened to his children such as his son who accidentally cut off his fingers at a young age. General Lee helped me to better understand the thoughts and actions of a military icon that I had heard so much about but never really knew. I love the writing style of John Perry and I don't think that Perry could have done it any better. It is an easy to understand book and flows nicely. Another aspect of the book I enjoyed was the catchy cover. I know that many tell you don’t … [Read more...]
Joey Junior Purse Hanger Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts on Joey Junior Purse hanger There is nothing I hate more than going to a restaurant and not having a place to set my purse. I don't want it on the floor because it might get stolen. I don't have a long enough strap to hang it from the back of the chair and even if I did I still would not trust it there and there is never enough room to leave your purse on the table. So I usually sit uncomfortably with my purse in my lap at the table. This is hard because well, I’m eating! But that was until I found Joey Junior purse hangers. The hanger handily clips on the table and allows my purse to hang right there where I can see it and not worry. Plus it matches my Joey Junior purse divider! You know the one I posted the review for a few weeks ago! The Joey Junior purse hanger holds up to 17 lbs and I know I carry a lot in my purse but not that much! The hanger has a no slip grip to ensure your clip will not come loose and it is smaller and lighter than a compact so storage … [Read more...]
Casa di Bertacchi Meatballs review
My Thoughts on Casa di Bertacchi Meatballs are a staple in my house. What I mean is we purchase a bag of premade Meatballs each week Just in case we are not in the mood to cook and just want something fast. Besides, There are so many different recipes you can do with meatballs and that was verified when I was sent the cookbook ‘101 Things To Do With Meatballs’ for the purpose of my reviewing Casa Di Dertacchi Meatballs sold at SAMs Club. This past weekend I went to Sams Club and picked up a bag of Casa di Bertacchi Meatballs! I loved the size of the bag (of course it was family size) and the price was nice! When we got home my husband went through the cookbook and found a meatball with cheese recipe to prepare for dinner that night. I love the flavor of the Casa di Bertacchi Meatballs. They were easy to cook and will work wonderfully with any recipe. If I had to find a con about Casa di Bertacchi It would be the occasional piece of gristle or bone. But Unfortunately, that … [Read more...]

Conair Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Conair I own many Conair products. My hair dryers, flat iron, and about six curling irons plus my hair brushes as well. Conair has been a product of choice since I was a kid and my mom and grandma ran a day spa. The hair dressers in their shop always used Conair products and thus they became my favorite brand as well. I was fortunate enough to receive some Conair products for the purpose of my review and as I expected they were wonderful. I received two hair brushes. One of the hair brushes has a gel grip. This allows the brush to form to my hand for a more comfortable hold. It also has more of a cushion for the bristles which helps to loosen the strain on my hair during brushing. My daughter likes it that way because other brushes pull her hair more than Conair’s gel brush! The second hair brush is a round tourmaline ceramic brush that allows my hair to blow dry faster and will help my hair to hold a cruel more easily. The ceramic brush is also infused with Ions … [Read more...]

Twas the Night Before Christmas Review
My Thoughts on Twas the Night Before Christmas Cartoon I love watching the Christmas time cartoons on TV but, one I was surprised to have never seen before is T’Was the night before Christmas'. Today my whole family was feeling under the weather so we took a day off and had a family movie day. T’was the night before Christmas was a cutest movie we seen today. I loved the plot as well as the characters. The movie is focused around saving Christmas as tragically Santa has decided not to stop off in their little town. Why? You will have to watch the movie to see! Will they be able to save Christmas in time? Will the town be able to change Santa’s mind and get him to visit the children? Come watch how one man (and one mouse) are willing to do anything to save Christmas! I am so glad to have added this to my family collection as they just don't make Christmas cartoons as good as they used to! Ashes thoughts Age 5 I loved hearing the clock sing. The mouse was cute and he … [Read more...]
The Search For Santa Paws Review
My Thoughts on Disney’s The Search For Santa Paws Christmas is in the air! I am so excited! This year for the first time I can see the Christmas spirit in my child. Tonight her eyes lit up with the magic that children feel this time of year. We were spending our evening watching the movie Santa Paws and for the first time ever my daughter started to cry during a movie. She was so upset when things went wrong and ecstatic when things went right. I have never seen her so in tune with a movie before. Especially, since she usually does not even watch an entire movie in one setting without getting restless. During the movie my daughter got to see the Christmas magic at work. There were many holiday surprises and the movie was filled with love and joy. After the movie she went over to our family dog and gave her a big hug. It was super cute! What a wonderful movie! Truly a 5 star rating from me and I think if you are looking for the perfect holiday movie to share with you family you … [Read more...]

Well I am so happy to inform you all that 3M has yet another product that I get to share with you all! It is 3M’s Scotch Gard fabric and carpet protector.

Bratz Pampered Petz Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Bratz I have never allowed my daughter to play with Bratz dolls or even have anything that resembles Bratz. But I decided I better not judge a book by its cover. In other words I had never even seen the cartoon so I thought I'd better give it a chance. Movie: Pros- I really enjoyed the story behind this movie. It is neat that they are teaching the children about animals and they want to do something to help all of the animals that have no home. The girls teamed up to help out a stranger and save some animals in the process. I was also surprised that some of them gave up a trip to the spa to help. The extra characters in the movie were fun and I really liked the story line behind the cartoon. I actually found myself wanting to know what was going to happen. Cons- I am disappointed by the materialism in this movie. Within the first five minutes the girls were talking about going to the spa and getting manicures. Not something I want my daughter to focus on as … [Read more...]
