Maggie's Pureland Review and Giveaway!

I have seen soapnuts around the blogosphere and they have always piqued my interest. So when Maggie's pureland contacted me with a review opportunity I just couldn't pass it up!

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to review both the soapnuts and the Lavender Tea Tree liquid soap.

The soapnuts were super easy to use. I just placed 4 of the soapnuts in the included bag and tossed them in with my laundry. The first load had some slightly mildewed clothing mixed in. I had some reservations on using the soapnuts on these, but figured it would be a great way to put it to the test. I am glad I did since the clothes smelled fresh and clean after the first wash. When drying this same load of clothes I forgot to add the dryer sheet. Interestingly the clothes were static free. This never happens to me no dryer sheet usually mean extreme static!

A few interesting facts about soapnuts . . .
"Maggie’s Soap Nuts are actually a dried fruit related to the lychee. People with nut allergies can safely use Soap Nuts! "
"Yes! Maggie's Soap Nuts are low-sudsing and are ideal for high-efficiency washers. "
"Yes! The saponin in Maggie’s Soap Nuts releases quickly into hot water,and more slowly in cold water"

I would definitely recommend soapnuts to others. There are so many pros and I can not think of any cons at all!

The lavender Tea Tree liquid soap worked great too! My clothes smelled fresh and clean and I loved the scent of the Lavender Tea Tree liquid soap! So relaxing and refreshing a great reason for getting the clothes in the wash! I only had to use an ounce of the liquid soap to do a whole load of clothes! A little bit of the Lavender Tea Tree liquid Soap went a long way and left me with clean clothes!

A few interesting facts about the Lavender Tea Tree liquid soap . . .
"No toxic by-products or wastes."
"No man-made chemicals left in the environment or on your clothes and body"
"The fragrance disappears during washing leaving only the wonderful soap nut clean smell"

Now is a great time to purchase from Maggie's Pureland! Just use the code SUMMERPLEASE through May 26th to receive a 30% discount on any Maggie's Pureland products!

Snorg Tee Review & Giveaway

Snorg Tee is a great online T-Shirt company that provides shirts to make life a little more enjoyable. All of their shirts have a fun edge to them with themes ranging from innocent children tees to horror buff faves! No matter who you are there is something for everyone!

Anyone who knows me knows that I have always loved horror movies! So when I had the option to review a snorg tee shirt there horror related t-shirts grabbed my attention. I choose to review the Zombies Don't Like Fast Food Shirt. This shirt is so me. The first time I wore it I received multiple comments from people while I was out shopping. Everyone seemed to get a good laugh out of it, which was exactly the point.

The T-shirt material was soft and comfy. It held up great through washing and drying!

Next I want the "I have the Body of a God" T-Shirt! I absolutely love it!

YoBaby 3 in 1 meals review and giveaway!

I am always looking for healthy, quick, and easy meals for Brea. The problem is that usually if they are quick and easy they are not healthy. So when I had the opportunity to try YoBaby 3 in 1 meals, I couldn't wait!

YoBaby 3 in 1 meals are made with Yogurt, fruit, and veggies! Who would have thought veggies would mix up well with Yogurt and Fruit? Definitely not me, but I am thrilled to say that they do!

Brea had the opportunity to try the apple & sweet potato and the pear & green beans. I know they don't sound very yummy, but she seemed to be quite impressed. The packaging looks like regular yogurt so when Brea opened the fridge the first thing she wanted was yogurt.

To be honest I was not at all sure how this was going to pan out, but I stirred up the yogurt and gave it to Brea along with a spoon and let her decide for herself. After the first couple of bites she said "This is good." When she was done she went to the fridge to get some more!

WooHoo! YoBaby 3 in 1 meals was a success! Finally I have something quick and easy that is Healthy too!

Want to stock your fridge with YoBaby 3 in 1 meals for the little one in your life? They are available at a wide variety of stores!

Thanks to YoBaby one of Brea's Mommy readers will win the following
2 free trial coupons for YoBaby 4-packs

Munchie Mug Review and Giveaway!

Brea makes the biggest mess when it comes to snacks. It seems that every time I give her cherrios or other snacks with small pieces more ends up on the floor then in her belly. The majority of the time this is accidental since we all know little hands can be a little hasty! It has gotten to the point that I try to find larger hand held snacks to give her. The biggest problem with this is the larger snacks she prefers are not very healthy.

When I had the opportunity to review the Munchie Mug I was thrilled. The Munchie Mug is shaped like a cup with two interlocking tops. One of the lids serve as a top so that you can keep your child's left over snack fresh for later. The other lid has to overlapping pieces of fabric over the opening so that your child has to reach inside to remove the snack pieces. These pieces of fabric prevent your child from scattering extra pieces accidentally.

The Munchie Mug works great! Now Brea can have puffs, melts, and cherrios without all of the accidental mess.

Cleaning the Munchie Mug was a breeze as it is top rack dishwasher safe!

The only issue that I have had with the Munchie Mugg is that Brea will occasionally remove the screw on lid and then purposely dump the snack. What can I say she is a 2 year old! It would be great if snaps could be added to the sides to prevent little hands from removing the lid.

I would definitely recommend the Munchie Mug to a friend. I do not think that anything will prevent those purposeful messes our toddlers make. It is just a part of growing up, but preventing the accidental messes sure will save some time and energy in my home! WooHoo more time to play!

Thanks to Munchie Mug one of my readers will receive a Munchie Mug in their choice of color!

Yo Yo mini lip gloss review and giveaway!

I had an awesome opportunity to review the Yo Yo Lip Gloss. These lip glosses appealed to me for so many reasons. As most of you know I have a two year old daughter which means I always have my hands full and never have time to dig for lip gloss. Secondly my pocket book is a disaster even if I did have time to dig I would probably give up before I found it. For these reasons I have not bothered buying lip gloss in quite awhile even though I have always enjoyed using it.

When I saw the Yo Yo Mini Lip gloss I knew my problems were solved. These nifty tiny tubes of gloss are on a retractable string that you can attach to your belt loop or your pocket! That means no more digging through your pockets or pocketbooks to find your lip gloss! What more can a lady ask for.

Of course you know me there is always more! These lip glosses also have sparkles in them! They are tinted and they taste great! Yo Yo Mini Lip Glosses are available in

One thing that I was concerned about when I first saw them was that you squeeze them to get the gloss out. While that is not at all an issue, I was concerned that I would be wasting lip gloss by accidentally squeezing it when the top was on. After opening the lip gloss I found that there is a small stopper on the lid which prevents the lip gloss from coming out when the lid was on.

I was also excited to find that Yo Yo is coming out with many new products later this year! This will include eyeshadow, retractable lip sticks, and more. So be sure to keep checking back for more great products!

I would definitely recommend the Yo Yo Mini Lip Gloss to my friends, family, and readers!

Would you like your own Yo Yo Mini Lip Gloss you can buy them by clicking here!

Its giveaway time! This time we are going for 3 winners! Each winner will receive 4 Yo Yo Mini Retractable Lip Glosses and a Yo Yo T-Shirt!

Pearlparadise.com Review & Giveaway! . . . The perfect gift for Mother's Day!

I should start off by saying that I am a jeans and t-shirt gal. Very seldom do I have the time or the energy to get all dressed up. So when Pearlparadise.com http://www.pearlparadise.com/ contacted me for a review I really had to consider whether or not I could find a piece that I would be able to wear all the time and not just on those occasional days that I am dressed to the nines. When I saw Black Freshwater Pearl Bracelet I knew that this was the bracelet for me!

The Black Freshwater Pearl Bracelet is elegant and classy, but will does not look out of place with jeans and a t-shirt either! It even seems that wearing the Black Fresh Water Pearl bracelet gives me a little more bounce in my step and a little extra confidence! After all, we all know how mom's get caught up in the life of our little one's. Sometimes that means no time to primp before we leave home, but now at least I can take a second and wear my pearls!

What more could a mom ask for. Oh, but wait there is more. This bracelet is well made too. The clasp attaches securely and I do not need to be constantly concerned about it falling off. This is really important to me because when I am chasing after my 2 year old I don't have time to think about the jewelry on my wrist!

Are you looking for something for that special mom in your life? Or maybe as a mom you would like to treat yourself?

You can purchase your very own Black Freshwater Pearl Bracelet for $61.00 at Pearlparadise.com
They also have many other pearl gift ideas so be sure to check them out today!

Internet Password Organizer Review and Giveaway

I have so many different internet accounts set up they are becoming really hard to keep up with. I really do not want to use the same password for my accounts due to the jerks in the world that spend their time hacking into other people's information. I actually had this happen to my hotmail account recently and it was really bothersome.

Internet Password Organizer is a great way for my to keep up with my website passwords in a nice organized way. Internet Password Organizer is set up like an address book. It has a separate section for each letter of the alphabet making it easy to find the website you need information for. Each entry provides a space for the website url, username, password, and notes.

I really love the notes section because it allows me to make a little notation about what I like most about the site or why the site is especially useful to me. I know + it sounds crazy, but sometimes I completely forget about sites that could really benefit me. The world wide web provides so many great sites that it is easy to get bogged down with too much and get a little off track.

In addition to keeping track of your internet passwords this organizer also has sections for ISP information, Home Network Configuration, License Manager for Software, Mac Addresses, and additional notes. Everything you should need for your computer time all in one convenient little book!

I would definitely suggest this for anyone who uses the internet.

Giveaway Opportunity!

One lucky winner will receive the Internet Password Organizer

Simple Green Naturals Review and Giveaway! (US Only)

Now that I am a mother I want to help preserve the environment in anyway that I can. I know that the toxins we use in everyday life are hurting the environment in more ways than I know. To be honest though before Brea came into my life I never gave much thought to what the world would look like in 50 or 100 years. Now I want the world to stay beautiful and green for Brea and for her children!

When I came across the opportunity to review Simple Green Naturals I just had to give them a try. This is my first experience with Environmentally Friendly cleaners. I had this preconceived notion that if they were good for the environment then they would not have the cleaning power that the old fashion cleaners have. I was thrilled to learn that Simple Green Naturals not only cleaned well, but also left my home smelling clean and inviting!

A little about what Simple Green Naturals provides . . .
" 100% natural ingredient sources
• Biodegradable formulations
• Full ingredient disclosure
• International scientifically-accepted ingredient names
• Naturals scents are IFRA compliant and made of 100% natural essential oils & plant extracts.
• 100% recyclable PETE plastic bottles with 25%+ post-consumer content, printed with soy inks
• Natural Versus Naturally Derived - learn more
• Non-toxic formulations
• No animal testing"
The above information was obtained from the Simple Green Naturals web page.

My Opinion of Simple Green Naturals . . .

At first I was going to write an opinion for each cleaner, but that would have been a little repeatative. Instead I will just give you my overall opinion of the products and things that stood out to me. All of Simple Green Naturals cleaned as good if not better then the regular household cleaners I had been using.

I was very impressed with how the All Purpose Cleaner cleaned the food off of Brea's messy high-chair. Usually it needs quite a bit of scrubbing, but it seemed to come off with ease!

The Simple Green floor cleaner also stood out for me because it comes in a spray! I love that I can spray the floor and then mop it just makes life a little bit easier! I also really enjoyed the smell. It kind of reminded me of a forest smell!

I also have to mention the Simple Green Naturals Bathroom Cleaner! I absolutely loved the minty smell that lingered in my bathroom after cleaning. Much, much better than the regular smells of bathroom cleaner! It also cleaned the bathroom really well!

Everything else worked fabulously too! If you want to make the green conversion regarding your cleaning supplies then I definitely suggest giving Simple Green Naturals a try!

Simple Green Naturals are available to buy online and at many retail stores just check their site for a retailer close to you!

Giveaway Opportunity!

One lucky winner will receive the complete Simple Green Naturals collection to try in their home!

Sonic Drive-In strives to provide educational toys that encourage interaction between parent and child. July's toy was the atomic straw! This month they will have the Smart-a-gon and in September Sonic will have hero force collectibles to honor police officers, firefighters, and more!

Now a little about Sonic Drive-In's set up . . .

Sonic Drive-In is unique because you can eat in the comfort of your car. There is no need to get out in the rain or other bad weather. Or maybe you are tired of chasing your children all over restaurants while you are trying to eat. At Sonic you can keep them in the car just through on the child safety locks and order your food (now you just have to deal with the fussing!)

Maybe it is a nice day and you would like to enjoy the sunshine. Well Sonic Drive-In will still work for you! Sonic has an outside eating area where you can enjoy the sunshine while eating your meal.

It is important to note that Sonic is not an eat in restaurant. At least not where we live and I do not believe I have ever seen an eat in section at any Sonic location I have been too.

Our Opinion of Sonic Drive-In . . .

Yummy! What more can I say. Now I have to admit I didn't go for the healthy menu instead I chose a bacon, egg, and cheese toaster and tater tots with chili and cheese! Oh did I forget to mention Sonic Drive-In serves breakfast ALL DAY! All day breakfast is a definite plus to me. Sometimes I get a late start and just want a breakfast sandwich knowing that no matter what time I get into town I can still get me a bacon, egg, and cheese toaster makes me really happy!

I enjoy the ease of ordering from the car and never having to leave the comfort of my air-conditioning. Their car hops even come around and offer condiments shortly after your order is brought to you!

For those of you not looking for the healthy meal options you MUST try the fritos chili cheese wrap and the tater tots with chili and cheese! Now I am really hungry.

Brea enjoys eating at Sonic Drive-In too. I think her favorite part is the Cherry Limeades. I do have to admit they are pretty good. She also enjoyed the atomic straw we received the other day. She actually carried it around Busch Gardens with her!

See Kai Run Review and Giveaway! (US and Canada)

Finding stylish shoes for your children that are comfortable and designed for a child's foot can be very difficult. I have gotten Brea many shoes that fall off every time you turn around or worse yet I find a blister on her foot after a day of play. I had almost given up hope of finding the right shoes for Brea, but then I came across See Kai Run!

See Kai Run shoes are a result of Kai's mommy who just wanted a pair of comfortable, flexible, hip shoes for her son. With a mother's love and her desire to provide the best for her son See Kai Run shoes were created! The soles of these shoes are made from extremely flexible rubber. The actual shoes are made of breathable leather and have "padded collars" (woohoo no blisters!).

See Kai Run offers three different brand names. "See Kai Run" fits children 6 months to 3 years. The "Smaller" line that fits 0-18 months. Lastly the "Eleven" line that fits 3-8 year olds.

All of their brands have a wide variety of appealing styles. There is something for everyone so head on over to See Kai Run now and take a look for yourself!

Our Opinion of See Kai Run . . .

Brea and I had the opportunity to review the Jennae shoes. I was pretty skeptical when I first received them. As I said I have tried so many different types of shoes!



Much to my surprise when I pulled the shoes out of the box I could immediately tell a difference. The soles were extremely flexible. I could actually fold the shoe in half! The material of the Jennae shoe was very soft both inside and out. The velcro closure had a cute pink flower on the side and at the toe there is a half moon cut out. Both of those features added just the right amount of class to make the shoes dressy without over doing it!

Then came time for Brea to try the shoes on much to my dismay they were way too big. I thought there was no way that I was going to be able to review them properly. Just to see what happened I went ahead and fastened the velcro to see how much give they had. Surprisingly even though they were too big they were still snug on her feet. Brea has been wearing them for more than a week with no problems! Bye Bye Blisters! The best thing is that she gets to grow into them also!

As I said Brea has been wearing the Jennae shoes for more than a week now and they are holding up great. She has played both indoors and outdoors. Just like all toddlers she has already taken a couple tumbles with the Jennaes on, but they still lock brand new! Not a scratch and easily wiped clean!

I would definitely recommend See Kai Run to my friends and family and I will be checking out their dress shoes on a regular basis now! So head on over and check them out for yourselves I promise you will not be disappointed!

Giveaway Opportunity!

Train-Ease Review and Giveaway!

As most of you know Brea and I have been working on potty training! So far she only shows a little bit of interest, but that is okay we will keep trying! I have been looking for different types of training pants. I tried the cotton training pants with the plastic cover, but that is just too much work for me! I was beginning to think that their were no training pants out there for us, but then I came across Train-Ease training pants!

Train-ease training pants come in three designs, white, circus, and hearts! Train-ease training pants have a waterproof polyurethane layer that prevents wetness from immediately soaking through. So there is no need for the plastic covers!
They are safe to machine wash and dry, making them even more convenient!

Our Opinion of Train-Ease training pants . . .

Brea seems to like her "unnerware" and thought that the heart design was "cute." Since she likes the design she is quite easily convinced to wear these when we are at home! I have also noticed that when she wears these she is more likely to complain about being wet!

As for me when I first saw the Train-Ease training pants I did not think they were actually going to be waterproof. They look and feel like they are made out of cloth. I was pleasantly surprised when Brea had her first accident and I was able to get her changed before it leaked all over everything! I also love that they are safe for the washing machine and dryer! This makes my life easier and at the same time I know that I am helping the environment.

Best of all Train-Ease makes Brea feel like a big girl and keeps my furniture and carpet pee-free!

Educator.com Review and Giveaway!

Do you or your children need help with schoolwork? Or maybe your children need help with schoolwork, but you don't quite understand it completely either? Would you like to have a tutor that works on your schedule? Or maybe you just like to learn things. If you answer yes to any of these questions Educator.com might be just what you are looking for!

Educator.com provides lessons for the following subjects Math, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and a special section named Math Magic!

Learn Math -Has 34 different lessons. Including lectures on Algebra 1, Algebra 2 , Calculus BC, Calculus AB, and Statistics. Each Section is taught from beginning to end. Educator.com not only uses lectures to teach math, but each Professor walks you through many examples to get their point across! When I say walks you through I mean that you can see the equation the professor is working on and while they explain verbally they also write each step out as they complete it! These sections are great for auditory, visual, and tactile (hands on) learners.

Learn Chemistry - Has 22 Courses available. Professor Goldwhite does an excellent job explaining Chemistry. This is one subject I had a lot of difficulty with in Nursing school. Mainly because I had a poor professor. I think that if these lectures had been available at Educator.com then I would have done a lot better! These lessons would be especially beneficial for auditory and visual learners.

Learn Biology - Has 12 Courses Available. These lectures are provided by the California Regents, Professors from the University of California. These courses are quite different from the Math and Chemistry Section. The biology section is a video with the professor speaking in the background. I personally like the first two sections more because it feels like the professor is actually trying to communicate with you. I still believe that this could be beneficial to Biology Students. You just have to get past the computer like voice.

Learn Computer Science - Has 11 Courses available. Professor Gyham provides lectures for this section. Professor Gyham does appear excited about Computer Science and uses an outline during his lecture to help teach. The only issue I had was that Professor Gyham spoke really fast in some of his lessons. This may not be an issue for students who are taking his class and please keep in mind that I do not know anything about Computer Science. With that said, I have to admit I could not really keep up.

The Math Magic Section- Math Magic offers videos explaining fractions, divisibility rules, coin probability, and more. This section could even be helpful to parents who need a refresher course to help their children with schoolwork. I hope Educator.com is still around in a few years because I can already tell you I will probably need a refresher course when Brea starts bringing math home!

I think I would have to say that the best feature of Educator.com is the Outline setup. This makes it easy for students to find exactly what they need help with. I am sure that we all agree that being able to find information quickly when studying for a test is essential. Educator.com has set up their programs with this in mind!

Another thing to keep in mind is that Educator.com would be beneficial to high school students as well as college students. If you are taking a class in one of the subjects available then I would definitely encourage you to give Educator.com a try. If you want to check it out for yourself head on over to Educator.com now. They have free movies to get you started and from there you can decide if Educator.com will benefit you!

Giveaway Opportunity!

Five lucky readers will receive a 3 month subscription to Educator.com just in time to help you or your child with school work!

Mandatory Entry must be completed for any entries to count. Pick me, I want to win, etc will NOT be published or eligible for the giveaway!

Mandatory Entry - Visit Educator.com and tell me something you would like to learn. Please pick something from the course outlines and not just the course itself! Thanks.
