Dremel Review

Fathers Day is around the corner and I had been trying to figure out what to get my husband. Then I was contacted by dremel to review their newest tool the 8200.



"The Dremel 8200 variable-speed cordless rotary tool offers the highest performance and versatility of all Dremel cordless rotary tools. The increased strength of its motor facilitates maximum performance at all speed levels. The ability to use all existing Dremel accessories and attachments let the Dremel 8200 complete the widest range of projects. A slim ergonomic body provides a 360-degree rip zone for control in any position. Powered by 12VMAX Lithium-ion battery technology, the Dremel 8200 has a speed of cut that is 2X times faster than the leading cordless rotary tool."




My Husband Loves this tool. He says it will be great for engraving, polishing and even Grinding off bolts. The dremel can be used for so many projects. You can round a sharp corner, etch a design into glass and cut different holes into wood or other materials. It's one of those tools that you will find handy in many situations.



I would recommend the 8200 for Father's Day. It's one of those handy tools that both the tool enthusiast and non tool enthusiast will both love.


Personalized Parcel Review and Giveaway

I found this great site called Personalized Parcels. It is founded and run by Dez who creates customized care packages.

Sometimes it is really difficult to pick out a present for someone special. Dez makes these really great parcel packages by just asking you a few questions about the person you want to send a gift to. There are parcels ranging from 25-75 dollars and there is also a parcel of the month club where you can send one a month at a discounted price.



Parcels include


Something to listen to like a CD of music...

Something to celebrate with party favor or decoration...

Something to soothe like lotion or bath salts...

Something to eat like chocolate or hard candy...

Something to play with like a age-appropriate toy...

Something to read like a book or magazine...

Something to smell like a candle or cologne...

Something to smile about like a hand-written note “from you”

Dez did one for my husband for fathers day. He got to open it early so I could write the review. He loved it. He got all kinds of neat things including his favorite car magazine, some wine and a bowling mug that he uses all the time. I really love the parcel that Dez sent. It is hard to think of what to get hubby sometimes and this parcel was just perfect.





WIN IT
Dez has offered one of my readers a chance to win a personalized parcel for someone special in their lives.

Great start to the Holiday Weekend !

We are having a fantastic Holiday weekend so far. Hope you all are as well. Yesterday Phil and I enjoyed taking Shane swimming in the pool in our backyard. He loves the water. It was a nice quiet family night. Today we went to Shane's friend Zach's Birthday Party. They had a bounce house water slide, a swing set and sandbox. Shane just had a blast. Here he is playing with his friends enjoying the water slide.





He had so much fun he almost passed out on Daddy while Zach was opening his presents. Lucky I had the camera to catch this it was too cute. I love the father son bond they have :)

Ergo Baby Carrier review and Giveaway

I have just found the best baby carrier. It's modern, safe, easy and comfortable. It's called the ERGO BABY CARRIER. I can not wait to use this with our next baby!



I was sent the Organic Twill Sea Green carrier - Silver Lining to review. ( see picture above)

Here's why I love the ERGO BABY CARRIER.

It holds your child up to 40lbs. note Ergo recommends 40lbs but it has been tested up to 90 lbs.
You will need an extra insert for babies under 4 months old.

you can wear your baby on your front or on your back.

It is easy to use and very convenient. It is also easy to store. It doesn't take up a lot of space. It could easily fit in a diaper bag when not in use.

My favorite thing is that it comes with a hood. This is a sleeping hood to keep it darker around baby and protect baby while he or she is sleeping. I am sure it also helps protect babies when its raining if your say trying to get from the store to your car and from the sun if you are outdoors for an extended period.

It's packed with features and so convenient!



Some other great things about the ERGO BABY CARRIER.

They practice fair trade and they offer not only original carriers but organic ones as well.



WIN IT

One of my lucky readers will have the opportunity to win an Ergo Baby carrier.
Winner will give 3 color choices. Ergo will do their best to give you one of the 3 choices depending on available stock.

We Need a Family Vacation

Phil and I have been talking lately about a Family vacation. We really want to take Shane to Disney world. We all really need a vacation.

I haven't been anywhere since our honeymoons. We took 2 honeymoons. We went on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise and then went to Las Vegas for a few days a month after our cruise. Phil was lucky enough to have the opportunity a couple months ago to go to Arizona for 3 days but we haven't been on Vacation with Shane yet.

I think we both agree that, next year when Shane will be 3, we want to take him to Disney World. I think all kids should have the opportunity to go to Disney World. I know he would love seeing Mickey Mouse, the other Disney characters and riding the kiddie rides. Disney would be so entertaining and fun for him and would give all of us some really great memories of our first family vacation.

Phil and I have been looking online at the different Disney World Packages. There are so many packages to chose from we have had a hard time deciding. We like that you can get Packages that include not only Disney World but Sea World and universal Orlando and that you can design a package based on how many days you want to spend at Disney World.

We are looking forward to booking a Disney vacation in the very near future. We haven't picked an exact package yet but know we would like to spend at least 5 days there and the package must include Sea World.

Have any of you been to Disney?

Floor Nanny Review and GIveaway

Are you having a baby? Do you know someone who is or who just did?

I just discovered a great new product FLOOR NANNY.



"The Floor Nanny™ is a unique children's floor cushion designed to allow mothers hands free time while providing the baby with a soft, cozy environment right next to mom.

The Floor Nanny™ was designed by moms for moms, to provide a safe, portable place for children to rest, play, and exercise from birth on into the toddler years."



I really like this cushion it's fantastic. Babies need tummy time and this is a great place to put baby on his or her tummy. It props baby up to allow them to enjoy tummy time and see around the room. It is great for babies learning to sit up. when they topple over they land on a soft safe surface. It is also nice for toddlers. They can sit on it and watch movies. I think this would make a nice emergency/ travel nap mat for older babies and toddlers. It has handles for easy carrying and you can take it pretty much anywhere.

Floor Nanny was featured on FOX NEWS HERE.

Baby Dipper Review and Giveaway



Baby Dipper, LLC was founded in 2007 by Barbara Schantz, mom of two sets of twins. Barbara designed the Baby Dipper bowl to help her feed a baby (or two) using only one hand. Her mission was to bring one-handed feeding to parents, babies, and toddlers everywhere, thus simplifying mealtime hassles.



The Baby Dipper is a great product because it can be used in two ways. First it is very helpful when you are feeding a baby baby food because of its slant it only requires the use of one hand. Then as your baby becomes a toddler and is learning to feed him/her self the tilt in the bowl helps make it easier to get food on the fork or spoon while training the toddler how to use utensils.

The bowl is easy to clean you can hand wash it or put it on the top rack of most dishwashers.

WIN IT

GIFT BASKETS FROM fruitgourmetbaskets.com Review

As most of you know I love gift baskets. I think they are great for any occasion because they can be customized to fit any occasion. There are a lot of online companies that sell gift baskets but only a few who are reputable and have great prices.



FruitGourmetBaskets.com is where I Like to get my gift baskets from. There are many different kinds of baskets to chose from including Fruit Baskets, Gourmet Gift Baskets,and even Flower baskets.



I love FruitGourmetBaskets.com because they make it easy to shop. They have just enough baskets to give you options but not to many to make it difficult to chose. You can shop by occasion,type or price. The shipping and delivery is super fast and most of all the baskets are priced reasonably and are filled to the top.

I was given the opportunity to review the Chocolate Lovers gift basket and the Gourmet basket tray.



Both these baskets are wonderful. They all filled to the top and out the back with chocolate and gourmet items. There is such a variety. Here is the back of the baskets.



With Father's Day almost here and many other summer occasions including birthdays, new babies and BBQ's or If you just want to get someone special something they will love make sure to visit FruitGourmetBaskets.com and order a basket. I promise you won't be disappointed.

ATG STORES REVIEW AND $75 GIVEAWAY

Have you heard of ATG STORES? They have over 400 stores including www.HomeFurnitureShowroom.com, www.LightingUniverse.com, www.NewBabySupply.com, www.SportingGoodsCentral.com, www.KnobandHardware.com, www.FixtureUniverse.com, www.OutdoorLivingShowroom.com, www.PatioFurnitureUniverse.com.

You can find almost anything your looking for at an ATG store. They have so many neat products. Since we are moving to Arizona in the near future I know Shane will be spending a lot of time outside. I decided to look for something Shane could use outside to sit on and have lunch or dinner.

After swimming or getting dirty I sure don't want my dining furniture wet or filthy so I decided to review the Little Tykes endless adventures easy store Picnic Table. This will be great because Shane and his friends can have lunch or dinner outside. If they make a mess I can just squirt the table down with the hose to clean it. It will also be a great place for the kids to sit when we have BBQ's.



I love this table its big enough to fit 6 kids, it's sturdy and it folds up easy so it can be stored when not in use.

Wednesday Social Parade

Smart and Trendy Moms

It's a Social Parade - Wednesday Link-up is a weekly link-up hosted by Smart and Trendy Moms.

Welcome Please follow me on GFC and take a look at my right side bar for my great giveaways going on!

1 YEAR AGO TODAY

My 16 year old SIL Died in a car crash.

HERE is the video of what happened. Neither party was ticketed or blamed. It was just a freak accident.

I do want to mention she was adopted by my husbands dad and step mom at 6 months old. In my husbands eyes and mine she was biological. We didn't treat her any different.

Just to think about it make me sick to my stomach. She was an amazing person. Very mature for her age.

What hurts the most is Shane won't have his own memories of her.
She Loved her NEPHEW. I remember how excited she was when we told her I was pregnant. At holidays that year she wouldn't even eat with us, she said she would rather sit in the living room and take care of Shane and that's what she did. Two weeks before she died she was here for Shane's 1st Birthday party.

I hurt most for Shane. I don't have any siblings and my husband has a brother but he has chosen to be not very involved with his nephew. Never a call or e-mail or card for Shane on x-mas or birthdays. you know the type.


I took the last picture of Stephanie. Here she is in our basement at Shane's first b-day.



I don't know if I'll ever get over her death. I know she won't be forgotten ever. We talk to shane about her all the time. He will even tell you who she is if you show him a picture.

If you get a minute today tell the people that matter most you love them. You never know when you'll lose that opportunity.

Safety 1st Complete Air Convertible Car seat Review

One day I was walking in Target and I saw this Convertible Car seat. It's the Complete Air Convertible Car seat by Safety 1st. I knew the minute I looked at this car seat it would revolutionize and set new standards for how all car seats of the future are made.




This Car Seat is GENIUS!
Did you know that side impacts are the "deadliest type of collision for children, accounting for one in three child fatalities; nearly all of which are caused by head trauma"?

"The placement of Air Protect™ Technology on the car seat diverts crash forces away from a child’s head, the most vulnerable place in a side impact crash."

"Through the precise release of air, Air Protect™ shields children from side impact intrusion and immediately reduces crash forces at the most critical spot: around a child’s head. Air Protect™ does this by extending ride-down, the amount of time it takes to slow a child’s movement in a crash."

I was so excited about this seat I contacted Safety 1st to let them know what a great seat this was and they offered to send me one to review.



In my opinion this is the Best convertible Car Seat on the Market right now. Not only is it the best but it's the SAFEST. As a parent myself the most important thing is the safety of my child and protecting my child especially in a situation where I have no control like a car crash.

This seat was easy to install, is designed to fit and fits very securely in the seat and takes up less room than other seats we have had or used.

I was worried that the Air Protect wings would freak Shane out. I assure you that Shane didn't even take a second look and they didn't bother him at all. I also know other mothers who have this seat and their kids also were not in any way bothered by the air protect wings.



I Love this seat and know you will too.

If you want to learn more about the complete air convertible car seat visit the websiteHERE.

If you would like to purchase one for you child they are available at Babies R Us, Toys R Us, Walmart, Sears and Target.


Great place to shop for toys online

We have a lot of birthday parties we have been invited to this summer. In fact we have 2 birthday parties to attend this month alone. I love birthday parties and enjoy shopping for the perfect toys as presents for the birthday boy/girl. I know Shane enjoys watching the kids open their new presents to and maybe getting chance to play with them :)
There are a lot of sites that offer toys for kids and sometimes it is hard to chose which site to buy from.
I found a great site that I will be buying toys from this summer TheKidsToyStore.com. I love this site because they have a lot of toy options eveneducational toys. Being a Certified Elementary Teacher I really love toys that promote learning. Why not give a child something fun that also teaches at the same time. I also love the fact that the kids toy store carries toys from top toy companies like leapfrog, fisher Price, Playskool, melissa and doug and Guidecraft. TheKidsToyStore.com is very organized. you can shop by kids age, toy brand or category. I like shopping by age. If your looking for a deal they also have a clearance section where you can save up to 70% off.



If your looking for a toy for a birthday party or for your own child/ children check out TheKidsToyStore.com.

Zehn Naturals is a fantastic company. All of their shirts are 100% certified organic cotton made with 80% wind power. Oh and that's not all for each tee that zehn naturals sells they plant a tree.

I was sent this shirt to review. It is seriously my new favorite shirt. I wear it all the time. I just can't get over how soft it is.


Zehn Naturals has been so generous as to offer one of my readers a chance to win a T-shirt of their choice.
