Kushyfoot's new summer open toe silhouette

Kushyfoot are foot covers (flats to go )designed with padding that you can carry in your purse and use when high heels are driving you crazy. They come in a ton of different designs and are so comfortable.

 Now they have a new design open toe silhouette (perfect for the summer)
These still have the same super-comfortable 3-dimensional massaging sole for relief from high heels, and they’re still lightweight and portable—perfect for the desk drawer, car or purse—but now the toes are open and, on the sandal, so are the sides and back. Sizes are 5/6, 7/8 and 9/10 and suggested retail is $9.99 per pair, packed in a mini-purse package. GREAT FOR PEDICURES, TOO.

 I was lucky enough to get a pair to review and I love it. I have a wedding to attend this summer and I know these will come in very handy and save me from aching feet while still allowing me to look trendy. I cant think of any women who wouldn't want a pair.

You can see and purchase all Kushyfoot products HERE.

Nickelodeon’s Floam and Gak

Completely reformulated to make playtime and clean-up a cinch for a new generation of families, new Nickelodeon Floam and Gak are two unique reusable compounds, each designed to encourage creative thinking and open-ended play.

New Nickelodeon Floam is an incredible, reusable molding compound. Mold, fold and roll new Nickelodeon Floam into any creation imaginable – the possibilities are endless!

 New formula that is less messy this texturized foam can be squeezed, squashed and flattened. create free form sculptures from scratch or mold onto common household items. After you're done, squish Floam back into its container and use it again and again or let your creation harden overnight and keep it forever!

 Shane really likes floam. He created a car with his daddy and then made his own sculpture. He was entertained for over an hour.

 Floam retails for 6.99 each and can be found at http://www.floam.com/

 
New Nickelodeon Gak is a stretchy, squishy collectible compound. Gak can be squeezed, stretched, bubbled and more – once kids pick up Gak, they won’t want to put it down!

 Gak can be squeezed, squashed, stretched, twisted, rolled and bubbled for hours of creative play. Put Gak back in its container after use to prevent drying out.

Shane really enjoyed bouncing Gak. If you tear off pieces of Gak around one inch in diameter, you can get them to bounce really well. He had a blast with Gak and I know he will be playing with it all the time.

Gak retails for 6.99 each and can be found at http://www.gak-is-back.com/

So Far So Good

Baby is looking Great so Far. I had my 19 week ultrasound April 16th and was excited to bring along my SIL. The baby measured right on date to the day and looked great. Baby had his/her head towards my right side and feet towards my left. Not uncommon at all! baby was laying on his/her stomach so his/her back was up towards my stomach. Because of this position they had to bring me back this past Monday to get the measurements for the Heart Chambers which look great.

So I got a bonus ultrasound and double confirmation of the sex of the baby. The ultrasound tech's at St John's are awesome. The tech that did my scan Monday offered to switch on the 4d imaging and got the most amazing picture of our babies face.

 I love this picture :)
Now that I know what I am having I have been busy making the baby a blanket/quilt and things for its first photoshoot as well as baby clothes shopping.

 Also this Saturday Shane is turning 4. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He is top of his class (no surprise) and doing well as always. He is very excited to be a big brother.

 We are having a small family party this year. Shane is getting a swing set as soon as we move as his big present. we are excited that my husbands brother Robert and his wife Ana extended their visit an extra week in order to be here for his party.
This year his theme will be Cars. He loves the Cars movies and characters.

Unlike traditional catalogs, Catalogue consumers can pull together their own personal favorites from various brands into one location, check local store availability, take a peek at the retailers sale emails and, “using Camera View”, can even see how an item would look in their own home.

My Niece Adele

On top of finding out the gender of my baby this week. Which will stay a surprise to everyone till he/she is born. Phil and I also got the opportunity to meet our niece Adele and hang out with my BIL and SIL.
 His brother is in the army and so we don't get to see them as much as we would like. I was so excited to take pictures of my Niece.
She is such a doll and everyone thinks she looks a lot like my husband. Funny because Shane looks a lot like my BIL.

 Shane just loves her
so cute

Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler Review and Giveaway

I love Rubbermaid products so when I was contacted to review the new Hidden Recycler, I of course said yes.
The Hidden Recycler attaches to the inside of a cabinet door to collect recyclables out of sight and keeps your counters clear. The bag is durable, machine washable, and made of recycled material.

Collect your recyclables and then easily lift the bag from the lid and cabinet by the handle to take them out to your recycle bin. Hinged lid attaches to cabinet door with over the door hooks or screws Bag is made from 65% post-consumer resin Bag is machine washable Comfortable handle for transport 5 gallon bag holds 36 uncrushed cans and is large enough to fit 1 gallon milk jugs

We love the new Hidden Recycler. It has come in handy for milk jugs and empty cans. Right now we don't have much counter space so this has really helped eliminate the pile of recyclables that sit near the sink waiting to make it to the garage for recycling. I love that it is machine washable and it fits great over our cabinet door.

Rubbermaid and I are very confident you will like the Hidden Recycler. Rubbermaid has been kind enough to offer one of my readers a Hidden Recycler.
