Pedia Care Fever Reducer and Pain Reliever For Infants review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway Closed!

Finally!  There is an over-the counter fever reducer and pain reliever for infants 0-36 months!
How many times have you needed something for pain for your teething 8 mth. old and there was nothing to give him?  The rub on gum creams are not recommended any more and your regular pain reliever is for children 6 and over.  Frustrating I know!  We have needed something many times for just a simple teething fever and we looked everywhere and nothing was available over-the-counter to give our baby.  So that always meant another day off work and another Dr. visit.  Both time consuming and expensive.
PediaCare knows and cares about you and your infant.  They came up with the answer to all the problems of simple fevers and pains in infants with New! 0-36 mth. Pain and Fever Reducer. 

My Grandson's Crazy Sense of Clothing Style

My Grandson's Crazy Sense of Clothing Style

Shopping for school clothes is always fun but finding the kind of clothes my 7 year old grandson will wear can sometimes be a problem.
Brice, my grandson, lives with me and he is going into the 2nd grade.  Some children will wear any type of clothes to school, but not Brice, he is very picky. 
The only shirts he will wear are the silky stretchy shirts.  You know the kind that are made from nylon.  Usually they are one solid color or they may even have a sports name or logo on the front.  We always buy around 7-10 different colors so they can match with most shorts.  I see many really nice looking collared and polo type shirts but Brice doesn't have that sense of style.  His type is uniquely his own and he will not waver or change.

Skoy Cleaning Cloths review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway


Skoy cleaning cloths are the best replacement for paper towels ever.  I received the set of 4 Skoy cloths and at first I was very skeptical about how well they really would hold up for cleaning and absorbing.  These thin, flower decorated cloths work great for cleaning counter tops, kitchen, bathroom surfaces and more.  They look so thin but believe me they do the job.  I really put it to work when my grandson spilt KoolAid in the fridge and I used one of the cloths to soak it up.  I was not doubting the Skoy cloths any more after that because it absorbed every bit of the KoolAid up.  All I had to do was rinse it out and use it again.

SeaSide Sidekicks Sand Toys from Melissa and Doug review/giveaway Closed!

 review/giveaway  Closed!

Summer is definitely here and that means vacation time.  We love to go to the beach and to the lake.  The kids are really crazy about playing in the sand and making castles, molds and more.  This means buying several of the cheap  sets of sand buckets and molds from the local store.  These buckets usually only last a couple of trips because they end up broke. 
Melissa and Doug sell the best sets of sand buckets and sand toys that I have ever seen.  Their products are made from heavy plastic and really hold up well.  My 2yr. old grandson accidentally ran over one of the buckets with his little 4-wheeler and surprisingly it bounced right back into shape.  I was truly shocked!
I received 4 sets of SeaSide Sidekick Sand Toys.  These include: 

 Seaside Sidekicks Sand Baking Set-Make fabulous mudpies and sandcakes with this sea-creature inspired "baking" set. Young chefs will love using the shell shaped measuring cups, octopus whisk and crab mixing spoon to "cook" up some great beach treats. The turtle lid on the "mixing" bowl doubles as a sifter!

Bridgewater Candles review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway

I was asked to review for Bridgewater Candles and what a wonderful set of candles I received.  The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was how beautiful the glass jars were.  They are very elegant looking  jars with a decorative top.  I buy a lot of candles but I must say that these are the prettiest candle jars I have ever had.  Not only must a candle smell great but it needs to look good also. With Bridgewater Candles you get that beautiful look.

The saddest thing to see is having to put your child in a very hot carseat.  After the carseats set all day in the hot car they become scalding to the touch.  We used to run the air conditioner for awhile before we placed my grandson in his car seat so it would not be so hot.  Then I discovered Meeno Baby Cool Me Seatliners.  What a great answer to this problem.

I remember my cousin thinking he was Superman when we were around 9 and 7.  My aunt took some red material and cut out a big S and sewed it onto his blue cape.  He would jump off anything taller than he was.  I thought that was the coolest thing!  Well, now I have long since grown up and have 8 grandchildren.  I have one grandson that is 7 and he loves any of the super hero's.  Superman is his favorite.  The cape is a necessity with all children playing superheros.  The place to get your child or grand child ect... a darling cape is PowerCapes.  They have them all.  From pink girlie ones to adult size.

Zylie the Bear is the most adorable teddy bear!  When I received her in the mail I was truly shocked.  The pictures on the website do not do justice to the real bear.  It is so beautiful.  The clothes are absolutely stunning and look like something my teenage granddaughter would wear.  Such fine stitching and awesomely designed.  These clothes are so modern and look darling on Zylie.

Robert Pierre CD review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway

Robert Pierre is a great new gospel singer who just released his first CD.  Few artists have the ability to communicate truth and inspire listeners the way Robert Pierre does in his new album IʼM ALL IN, releasing July 26, 2011. After several years of relentless touring behind his last critically acclaimed album, Robert returned to the studio last year - this time with songs of his own. In fact, Robert co-wrote nearly every song on IʼM ALL IN - a first for the 18-year old who is just now finishing high school. With executive-producer Jason Ingram (Tenth Avenue North, Sanctus Real, Bebo Norman) and producer Matt Bronleewe (Jars of Clay, Plumb, Chris Tomlin) both contributing to the songwriting, the trio has created the most personal Robert Pierre album yet.

RepairPal review

review

RepairPal is a great online problem solver for car repairs.  I came across this very helpful site after my 2005 Chevrolet Silverado Truck began having a problem with the check engine light staying on.  We had taken the truck in to the local dealer and they ran a test, worked on it and said it was fixed.  The light actually did go off for a few weeks and then one day it came back on.

With a new baby on the way to my home we are getting everything ready and in place for his arrival.  Bottles, diapers, clothes, and pacifiers.  Pacifiers are a must and after losing more than 10 with the last child we were looking for something to keep the pacifier with the baby.  Seriously, I have set them down and lost it, lost them in the never ending diaper bag, little brother has taken them and other countless ways.  This is why I want to introduce you to Andrea and her darling pacifier clips.  No more losing them, you just attach the pacy at one end and clip the other end onto the baby's suit or blankie ect..  Plus, she has so many different designs and colors that you can get one to match the color your baby is wearing that day.

Ten Reasons Why I Want To Visit Virginia Beach

Ten Reasons Why I Want To Visit Virginia Beach

  It is summer time and summer time definitely means vacation time for the Anderson family.  We wait all year for school to get out, vacation days to go in effect, and the surprise to our family about where we will vacation.  My husband and I usually plan the trip in the spring and wait until June 1st to let my daughter and her two sons know where we will be spending a whole 7 days in July.  Of course we have to consider a kid friendly vacation spot and there must be plenty of activities to keep them busy.  There must also be affordable hotels, great restaurants, and plenty of sites to see.  This year we decided on Virginia Beach for our vacation spot.  This beautiful part of the country, with it's gracious beach areas, was just exactly where we knew we wanted to spend our 7 relaxing days.

Safari Towels review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway   Closed!
Have you ever been traveling and had a child suddenly get sick in the car?  Little napkins from a restaurant won't clean that mess up.  You need something larger and disposable.  Safari Towels are now the answer for most large cleanups.  These towels are 14' x 24" and they are not thin or easily torn.  Safari Towels clean you from head to toe.  Unlike your baby wipes, these towels aren't loaded down with soap, they have the right amount of cleaner for the body.  The towels come pre-moistened.
We ride 4-wheelers and we get very muddy doing so.  I have always wanted something like the Safari Towel to keep in the box on our 4-wheeler for all those muddy rides.  Instead of having to completely strip down or ride home muddy, I can now use these towels to clean up myself before getting back in my vehicle.

Tea Clothing

The Tea collection began in 2002 with big dreams to go all over the world looking for exciting and stylish name brand clothing. These dreams came true as they traveled and found many styles and designs.  Bringing back these ideas, they soon tranformed their findings into an awesome line of clothing.   Clothing for children in sizes 0-12 is what they began to sell.  In 2010 they also added  womens clothing to the Tea collection.
