Do people not understand that feelings are real?  Ok, dumb question ...   (:

PackAways!





I love organization.  I mean LOVE it.  When I had the chance to review these I knew exactly what I was going to use it for ... but I had to narrow my list down because I only got 2.  I received the Pink and Green  boxes.  They were so easy to assemble and were automatically taken for kids toys. Hubbs brother was in the process of moving and these were the best things to stick the toys that were contantly in use.  As the house was getting fixed (paint, cleaning, etc.), I constantly heard how amazing it was to just have these within reach to keep the kids occupied.  It was even better because the colors were so bright and different, the kids did not fight over which box was theirs! The teacher in me still added their names to the write on area with my Dry Erase Marker though :)  If I even get these back, hopefully, I will use them for my classroom!  Teachers absolutely love organization ad boxes that are simple to put together and pack as these are.

Packaways is a brand new Storage Box that ships and stores in the flat position. When needed, simply press on opposing corners and the bottom "Automatically" folds into place and locks. When not in use, simply press on the bottom and the box folds back down flat for easy, out of the way storage. Ideal for homes, apartments or living quarters where use is intermittent and space is tight. Many applications: Moving; Back To School; Organizing The Kids' Rooms; Basement or Garage; Seasonal Items, etc. You can color code your things or have the colors match your decor. Proudly made in the U.S.A. from durable corrugated plastic. Great for harsh storage conditions or long-term storage since moisture and humidity won't effect the integrity of the boxes. Will last hundreds of cycles under normal circumstances. Comes with 2 Wipe Away Panels that allow you to conveniently identify the contents of the box. If you use China Dry Erase Markers, you can simply Wipe Away the previous contents and remark the box. Please go to www.packaways.com for more information.


 I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Carter's Watch The Wear~Review and Giveaway!

My daughter has really started to enjoy picking out her own clothes lately.  I really like her to choose her own clothes at the store but most of the time she ends up choosing something way too expensive.  Most of the time with children's clothes, they are either cheap or cute.  Then I discovered Carter's Watch the Wear.  Their clothes are both affordable and very stylish.  


About Carter's Watch the Wear(from their website):
"CARTER’S Watch the Wear brand is rooted deep in American history and Americana. Since its inception in 1859, over 150 years ago, by Henry W. Carter, in Lebanon, New Hampshire, the people of H.W. Carter & Sons and the CARTER’S Watch the Wear company have strived to achieve something they can take pride in, something that has been a symbol of quality in the making of sturdy denim workwear. Now they enter a new chapter in history while keeping the spirit and principles of Henry W. Carter alive. What was once designed for the men who hand built America, is now made for everyday families who keep America thriving."
I let my daughter pick out an outfit on thier website and she chose the  Carters Kids Clothes Stripe Top Legging Set in fuchsia.  Boo actually gasped when I took the outfit out of the package.  She loves anything that is pink so it was instantly a hit!  She also really liked that the shirt has a ruffle around the bottom of the shirt.  She danced all around that house watching the ruffles spin. Also, the top of the shirt has little rhinestones on it.  She kept calling them her "sparkles".   Her everyday outfit is usually leggings and a shirt so this was a great pick for her.  The best part of the outfit? The price!!  This two piece set is on sale right now for only $11!  Carter's Watch the Wear is a great company for anyone who is looking for great, affortable, cute kids clothes!

Wholesale Halloween Costumes~Review

It's that time of year again! Time to start decorating for Halloween and looking for costumes.  I have always loved Halloween but I really get into it now that I have a daughter.  Last year, my daughter insisted on being Minnie Mouse.  Only problem?  I could not find a costume in her size anywhere!  I ended up driving an hour to a toy store after I called every store near us.  I knew that this year I was going order her costume online.  

WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com has a huge selection of Halloween costumes for all ages.  I had such a hard time deciding on what costume to get my daughter. She sat on my lap and after a long chat, she chose the Little Red Riding Hood costume.  I think she chose it because her MeMaw calls her Little Red.  

The costume was really cute!  It was a little wrinkled but that is because she made me put it on her as soon as I got it came in the mail.  It was easy to get on and off, which is key with a newly potty trained child.  Last year, she complained the whole time we were trick or treating that her costume was itchy.  This one didn't seem to bother her at all.  My only issue was the size.  It said it would fit most 2t-4t girls.  My daughter is only 2t but it seemed too short.  She would definitely have to wear something under it.  Overall, it is a great pick for Halloween!  We even liked it so much that we bought a Tinkerbell costume for her too.


I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

Rockin Green Soap~Review and Giveaway

I recently was able to try Rockin Green Soap, an eco-friendly line of laundry detergent.  Here is a little more about Rockin Green straight from their website:
"Rockin’ Green is an award-winning manufacturer of eco-friendly cleaning products designed to make cleaning easier and greener. Most well-known for their clean-rinsing laundry detergent formulated for use on all fabrics and especially useful on cloth diapers, Rockin’ Green produces detergents for hard, soft and normal water conditions (known as Hard, Soft and Classic Rock varieties). 
Rockin’ Green also carries Funk Rock, a first-of-its kind natural ammonia bouncer, and Melody, an odor-neutralizer and air freshener home spray. With the exception of Funk Rock, all products come in seven natural scents, such as Mighty Mighty Marshmallow, Earth Wind & Orchids, Rage Against the Raspberry, and Bare Naked Babies (unscented). 
Rockin’ Green was founded in 2009 by Kim Webb, an avid cloth diapering mom who desired a better way to clean cloth diapers and treat her kid’s sensitive skin. More information can be found at www.RockinGreenSoap.com."
This was the first time I have ever tried an eco-friendly detergent.  I was not disappointed!  I tried the Smashing Watermelon scent and was a little worried that the scent would be too strong.  It only left a really light fruity smell.  My husband loves it and says that this is the only detergent he wants to use now!  The bag is pretty big and you only use one to two tablespoons per load.  This bag will last a long time, about 45-90 loads! I really like that it is safe enough for baby diapers.  My daughter has senstive skin so I really have ot watch what kind of detergent I buy.  It really got all our clothes clean, even the grossest of the gross!  My only issue was that it didn't come with a scoop!  We have to go to the laundry mat so if I didn't check before we left, I would have had no way to measure the detergent.  But besides that, I highly recommend it!

Shirts for Guys


Are you looking for  affordable gun tees ?  Well I found a place that has them online! a lot of our friends go on hunts throughout the US, so I instantly thought of them when I saw this. 

I always wash my shirts before I wear them, unless they are from Hollister or Abercrombie because they already smell great :)  The first time I washed this shirt I noticed the design lifting a little as other shirts with this type of printing material. It only appeared where a lot of detail was, so that could be improved.  The shirts are available in virtually any style - tee, tank, LS, hoodie, man/woman. 

There are so many shirts on this website, go take a look yourself.   As a teacher I'd like to point out what the 2nd Amendment is as follows :
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”




Go to these websites if you want to teach or refresh on this topic.  Especially because it is going to be wildly debated in the next few months.

Spanx Bra: Bra-llywood Hills Side Slimming Underwire bra~Review and Giveaway!

I have a confession.  I have big boobs.  It is really hard to find a good fitting, supportive bra that doesn't look like something you would find in your grandmother's drawer.  Every women has heard of Spanx and their amazing shapewear.  As if they heard as us big busted women's complaints, Spanx just started designing bras!  I was really excited to get 
to review one of their new line. (I may or may not have been checking the shipping status at least twice a day.)  Check out the new Bra-llywood Hills Side-Slimming Underwire:


I am really picky about my bras.  I'm not one to run into Wal-Mart and pick up a cheap $15 one.  I need a comfy bra that still manages to hold my big girls up!  When I first read the description of "side-slimming" I thought it would be very tight on the sides and uncomfortable.  Not so!  It really does slim your profile and you can't see the bra through your clothes.  Here are some other great features from their website:
  • Engineered cup narrows profile, slims side spillage and lifts bust
  • Ultra-soft, bonded fabric features sleek, beautiful sheen and is seam free
  • Front strap adjusters offer a smooth look in back
  • Underwire comfortably supports your girls and remains invisible in clothes
  • Feminine, scooped ballet design reduces back fat
  • Adjustable band in back features ultra-thin hook and eye closures that are integrated into 
  • the fabric
  • Imported
  • 82% Nylon, 18% Spandex/Elastane
  • 32A-38DDD
You can also check out the other bras in their collection: Bra-liminate™ Minimizer and Bra-llelujah!® Underwire Contour Front-Closure Bra.  Also make sure you like them on Facebook for updates on all their latest products!

Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls-Book~R/GA~



Naughty is the new Nice..

That’s the mantra and message of the new “tell-all” how-to paperback, physical book from beauty maestro Dimitri James. In Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls, James creates a new kind of finishing school–one for nice girls who always finish anywhere but first.

Tired of seeing the many “nice girls” in his life constantly overlooked, James, a celebrity makeup artist, style guru and television personality, offers a lively and entertaining read full of actionable tips and tricks, showing you how to get whom and what you want.
Those open the book will learn how to look classy, not trashy, trading the prim, proper uniform of “safe” clothing, makeup and hair for something sexier and more inviting, but still situation-appropriate. “You would be surprised how many women don’t know how to use clothes and makeup to market themselves in various social or professional settings,” says James. “‘Nice’ girls are invisible, and ‘trashy’ ones go over the top. ‘Naughty’ is the happy medium that pushes the envelope without crossing the line.”
Thus, James challenges the traditional connotations of the word “naughty” and redefines it as a spirit that can change both image and self-perception for the better. In chapters that range from “Naughty at Work” to “Naughty First Date” to “Naughty Traveler” and “Yummy Mommy,” the author shows readers how to dress outside the box and re-vamp their beauty regimens to add sizzle to their style for all seasons and occasions.
Flip open the physical book to almost any page and find a small gem of wisdom, or a stunningly clear depiction of “nice” vs. “naughty” vs. “trashy,” all sprinkled with James’ trademark wit, candor and spirit of camaraderie.
Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls is loaded with makeup and fashion advice to empower a Nice Girl to transform herself into a spicy but classy woman in every situation. So, go ahead and channel your inner naughty. Instead of fading into the background, become a star in your own life!
Naughty Makeovers is filled with all types of information.  One of my favorite sections in this book was about traveling.  I loved the illustrations because it was so real - showing girls in super short skirts and tank tops, some in sweatpants, and others looking normal.  Every time we go on vacation and fly I have the dilemma on deciding if I want to wear sweats or look good.  Although you can still look good in sweatpants using some of Dimitri James' hints, it is still classy to wear nice clothes.  I remember, well actually I do not because I was not even born, when people who flew were dressed to the 9's and were proud to be flying.  I feel that way today - many do not have the privilege to do it!  So this August when we go to Jamaica I'll post a pic of my traveling clothes.  Trust me when I saw when you look nice and professional you get more things done.  Who really wants to help someone looking homely?

Anytime Costumes~Review




    Anyone who knows my daughter knows that she truly thinks that she is a princess.  Everything she wears is "princess"; she has princess socks, princess pants and princess shirts!  She has recently become obsessed with Cinderella.  Or as she says "Cinderbella".  I have been looking for a good quality Cinderella costume to add to her growing princess dress collection.  

    I was really excited to get the chance to review Anytime Costumes.  Anytimes Costumes is one the the largest, most popular costume websites on the internet.  What makes them so special?  They have a huge selection of costumes(in all sizes) year round!  You don't have to wait until Halloween to satisfy all your costume needs.  
    When I began looking for a costume for Boo, I was really pleased with all the choices.  I knew that I wanted to get her a Cinderella dress but couldn't help looking at all the other Disney Princess dresses.  They literally have every Princess and sometimes different versions of each Princess.  I also really liked that there is a wide price range too.  I wouldn't want to buy a  real expensive costume for my daughter just to play in but am willing to pay a little more for a Halloween costume.  When I received her dress I was impressed with the quality.  I have previously bought her costumes that I could rip with little effort.  This dress will last us a long time! I ordered one size bigger than her normal size and it fit her perfectly.  I would suggest doing the same!  Boo wore it for an entire day last week but I forgot to take a picture.  I then made the mistake of putting it on "Big Minnie" so they could be princesses together.  Now, my daughter refuses to let me take it off of her!  Hence, the picture above is of Minnie, not Boo. 

  Right now, they are offering a great coupon!  You can get 15% off all costumes over $25 by using the coupon code "SPRING".

CrazyDog T-Shirts~Review and Giveaway


I have to admit something.  I wear a T-shirt every day.  Even when I go out, the first thing when I get home is change into a T-shirt.  When I got the chance to review Crazy Dog TShirts, I was pumped!  I actually bought a shirt from them around Christmas for my little brother.  
They have large selection of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia shirts and that is his favorite show!  Crazy Dog T-shirts has a shirt for everyone, even kids!  I really like the Hot Mess shirt in the Funny Creepers section.

I had a hard time picking which shirts to choose.  There are so many funny, clever shirts.  I chose the Schrute Farms Beets shirt from the Cool T shirt section.  We have been watching The Office since the beginning and I loved this shirt!  I also had the chance to receive the Merlottes Bar shirt found in the Girls section.  I LOVE True Blood!  I really like that this shirt was fitted so it fit me great!  Also, it is a longer shirt which I really like.  Their website also has a design studio where you can pick from a number of different products to customize yourself.  You can pick colors, fonts and add your own images!  This would be great from a bachelorette party(Trista......).

You can learn more about them on their website, Facebook and Twitter pages.
