Getting Rid of Germs with safeHands

June 8, 2013 by Kat 14 Comments

As a parent, I'm always looking out when my kids go outside to play, and touch different objects. Germs are everywhere, and I want to be sure that my child is as safe as can be. My two year old has an immune deficiency so its really tough on us since he is sick all the time. I try to keep him safe from all the nasty germs that I can. It's always nice to have an antibacterial hand wash on hand when we're on the go, or even at home. It's always nice to find new products to try out and find new go-to items. I reviewed SafeHands and SafeSquirts soothing alcohol free sanitizers. They're great for every day use. The SafeHands is a … [Read more...]

June 5, 2013 by Kat 18 Comments

Pregnancy is one of the sweetest times in any woman's life. To know that she's growing a life inside of her is both amazing, exciting, and frightening. One thing that we have to remember, is that keeping ourselves fit should be one of the most important things. Even when we eat correctly, and exercise, we still have that little bit of weight that just doesn't want to budge! I was asked to review a DVD and a book from BeFit-Mom. Their website will guide you through exercising and eating right through pregnancy, and after. You can even buy the DVD and book through their website as well. I like easy it is to navigate.

It's summertime, which means more time spent playing outside, and sitting in dirt, and just plain having fun. Sometimes, you wish you could find a clean place to park you and your children that isn't full of dirt, or other things that you find outside that you don't want to have staining your clothes. The Monkey Mat is a clean surface you can take everywhere! I got to review the blue Monkey Mat, they also come in other colors as well. They come in pink, orange, dark khaki, and blue.

Sleeping Well with our Minky Couture Blanket

May 31, 2013 by Kat 2 Comments

If you have children, I'm sure that at least one of them has a "lovey," whether it be a blanket, stuffed animal, or some other well loved toy, that they carry around with them, day after day, and they refuse to let you wash them, or even take them away without some sort of tantrum. My 11 year old had a stuffed bear. He loved that bear and called it Pokey. It is still on his bed and has lost all of his stuffing because of how often my son slept with it and played with it. If you haven't found your children's "lovey," I think I may have found something that they'll enjoy. Minky Couture was started in 2009, by Sandi Henry. She started … [Read more...]

Stay-Dry Bath Apron & Towel Review

May 14, 2013 by Kat 16 Comments

I think the hardest thing I had to learn how to do when I had my first child was give him a bath. Not that first bath where you use a bowl of water and quickly flap a towel open and closed on your baby while you wipe them down but a real, after the umbilical cord is gone, bath. I was so worried about him getting too wet or too much baby shampoo or mad at me. I actually used to just hold him after his baths wrapped up in a towel and breastfeed him because I had gotten him so upset during the bath that he was blood red screaming. I regret to say that I havent gotten any better. Or rather, none of my children have. They all hate … [Read more...]

Jabra Freeway Review & My Pinteresting Mom Promotion

May 8, 2013 by Kat 1 Comment

I was chosen by Jabra to do a review of the Jabra Freeway. As always, all opinions are my own. The Jabra Freeway is a Bluetooth Wireless In-car Speakerphone and will work with any Bluetooth enabled phone. I was super excited to be chosen to review it because I drive everywhere. I have put 110k on my car in less than four years. I drive an hour in traffic everyday to and from work. So you can see how being in the car all the time means I cant NOT talk on my phone. It kills my mom though when I do. She is convinced I will get distracted and have a wreck. Disclaimer though, I do NOT text in my car. I just talk on my phone. I … [Read more...]

Surviving the Cold Season with #ChildrensMucinex

May 1, 2013 by Kat 1 Comment

As a Smiley360 Blogger I was sent this product pack in order to facilitate my review. As always, all opinions are my own. As a mom, I know that one of the worst things that can happen is for your children to be sick. They get whiny, they get clingy, and just generally don't feel good. You want to be able to fix it quickly and do whatever you can for them. I have been in tears many a time from my crying babies being sick and I couldn't help them immediately. There is so much uncertainty on what to do when your kids are sick that its just crazy. You have this website telling you one thing and your mom, friend, cousin, etc … [Read more...]
