HGG 2012 SOUNDFREAQ Bluetooth Speakers

Looking for a great gift this holiday season? I have to suggest SOUNDFREAQ Bluetooth Speakers compatible with Apple and Android.

SOUNDFREAQ offers a budget-friendly option for under $100 with its award-winning Sound Kick portable, wireless speaker. Compatible with any Bluetooth device, the Soundfreaq Sound Kick speaker enables the whole family to listen to their favorite holiday tunes with full, clear sound. No need to attach your iPod or smartphone since the wireless speakers allow you to keep your device with you at all times.

 I love the SOUNDFREAQ sound kick speaker. I am able to listen to my music controlling the speaker with my smartphone, tablet or computer. This is great when I am in the kitchen doing dishes or bedroom folding laundry. Instead of dropping what I am doing and running to the speaker to change the song or volume, I can now grab my iPhone or iPad and quickly adjust the volume or song choice using bluetooth. Plus the sound is so clear. Way clearer than my previous speaker.

My favorite features are the built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery (that lasted me 6 hours), the universal USB power port that charges my iphone ( even running on the battery power) and the fact that it is so compact without compromising great sound.



 The unit slides open to play and closes making it take up very little space and making it easy to transport.  It comes in a variety of cool colors from your traditional black and white to new Chromatic Sunset, Ocean and Twilight.

 I love this Speaker, it's a great device for whole family and is easy to share. It will be compatible with future devices that have Bluetooth too so you don't have to worry when you upgrade your device. 

 • Sound Kick is available nationwide at Target, Radio Shack, Walmart, and Sears stores.
• Sound Kick is available online on Target.com, Soundfreaq.com, Bestbuy.com, Staples.com, Kohls.com

HGG 2012 Half Bath beautifully redone with Danze Faucet

When we moved into our house this past August, we had a bunch of projects lined up to do. I love this house but a lot of things were not my style/taste.

Due the the fact that I was 37 weeks pregnant those projects had to wait till after Jacey was here. One of the first projects we did was our half bath.  It was important to us to have a nice half bath because that is one of the places our company would see when they visit.

The people before us had 3 white walls and a dark blue accent wall behind the toilet that was disgusting. On top of the ugly color choices was an outdated faucet. We didn't have the funds to gut the whole bathroom and replace everything, ( although that would have been nice if we could) so we had to repaint and replace certain items.

You would be surprised what fresh coat of paint and a nice new Danze Faucet can do. Our half bath looks so beautiful now. 

 Here it is before as we prepped to paint and replace.

Here it is after it was painted and the new faucet was added

We just love our half bath now and so do our guests.  We get a ton of complements on our faucet. 

If you haven't heard of Danze they make contemporary,  traditional and transitional
high quality kitchen and bathroom faucets. As well as sinks, toilets, showerheads and accessories.

The faucet used in our half bath is the  Bannockburn™ Mini-Widespread Lavatory Faucet.

This faucet comes in chrome, oil rubbed bronze and brushed nickel.  Ours is the brushed nickel.  This particular faucet features

• 3 hole mount.
• 5" high spout, 4" spout length.
• Ceramic disc valve provides a tight seal, ensuring durability over time.
• Compliant with low lead content requirements of California AB-1953 and Vermont Act 193.
• Touch down drain assembly. 

It retails for between $261.00 - $379.00 depending on the finish. 

Danze makes many different style faucets to fit your bathroom or kitchen perfectly. 
We love Danze products so much that when we redo the kids bathroom in the spring, we will be replacing the existing faucet with a new Danze faucet.  

Danze would make an excellent holiday gift for the new homeowner, family or friends this holiday season.

HGG 2012 Jeep® Cherokee Sport Stroller Giveaway

Jeep® Cherokee Sport Stroller from Kolcraft

I own several products from Kolcraft and love them. They are quality made and are very stylish and functional. I have been looking for a stroller for Jacey that would provide some of the features our bigger stroller has like an under-basket and tray and cup holder but that was smaller, lighter and easier to transport.

 I knew I could count on Jeep and was lucky to find the Jeep® Cherokee Sport Stroller.
 It even comes in PINK. For me that was a nice bonus as most of what I own is from Shane and more Boyish colored.

The Jeep® Cherokee Sport Stroller Features:
-Lightweight & compact frame for easy travel
 - Convenient one-hand and self-standing fold design
 - Removable parent tray with dual cup holders
- Multi-position reclining seat back
- Removable snack tray with dual cup and juice box holder
 - 5 x 6 shock absorbing sport wheels
- Adjustable canopy
 - 3-point quick release buckle
 - Large storage basket plus cargo bags for gear

This is the perfect light weight stroller with all the features and more than I could have wanted.

 One of my favorite features is the one-hand self standing fold. It folds up so easy with one hand and self stands. I will be able to get Jacey in the car and not worry about the stroller falling over in the meantime. 

My other favorite feature is that the seat adjusts to a full laying position so Jacey can lay down and take a nap or sit upright.

This stroller has it all! It is available in Red (React) or pink (siren) at Amazon for $59.99 or Walmart for $49.50.

 One of my readers will win a Jeep® Cherokee Sport Stroller

HGG 2012 MicroDry® Products Giveaway

MicroDry® Products are becoming very popular this season. These products range from bathmats to rugs. They contain memory foam that makes them so plush and comfortable.

We have owned a  MicroDry® bath mat for a year now and love it. Stepping out of the shower onto memory foam is so nice.  I was more than thrilled to be given the chance to review some other MicroDry® products.

I was sent the the  Microdry® Ultimate Luxury Memory Foam Kitchen Mat - Black

 

									Kitchen mat provides luxurious cushioning. The inside of the mat has 1/2" of memory foam that cradles your feet in comfort, while the plush pebbled top fabric adds a stylish dimension. Slip-resistant base helps it to stay in place when used on a dry surface. Face is 100% polyester with a 100% polyurethane foam fill and 100% textured styrene butadiene rubber base. Measures 32" W x 22" L.     This mat matches very well in our kitchen and I just love it.  It's really nice when I am half awake in the middle of the night making bottles for my newborn daughter.  So much better to stand on than the cold floor beneath it.

									I was also sent the MicroDry® Spring Tan Memory Foam Rug 30" x 44"   You'll always want to go barefoot at home with this ultra-soft and cushioned rug that's perfect for any room. Featuring Memory Foam HD™, this rug is ultra-resilient and supports your every step for incredible comfort. The SoftSpun™ microfiber top combines a lustrous, silky sheen with extraordinary softness. And underneath it all is a built-in rug pad for slip-resistance and added durability. Face is 100% SoftSpun™ micro-polyester; fill is 100% polyurethane foam; base is PVC and polyester. This rug goes perfect in front of our bed. It is very modern and soft to step on. I love the slip-resistant pad underneath. It makes so the rug doesn't bunch up. This rug would be great for any room. I highly recommend it. These items can be purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond.  Microdry has also been kind enough to offer one of my readers the same kitchen and spring tan rugs I received. a Rafflecopter giveaway

The holidays are upon us! Have you started your holiday shopping yet?

I have done some shopping online already. I have found some amazing deals online this year. I love shopping online because it is is way less stressful than fighting crowds in stores and I can shop any time day or night. I Usually shop after its quiet and my kids are in bed. It's hard to do that in store as most stores and closed by then but easy to do online. Plus it is great to have things shipped directly to my door, instead of lugging them around a store and then inside my house from my car.
