BEING A GRANDPARENT

I used our clearwire Orange connection to find some good deals for Disney World for next month. Are grandchildren are coming to visit over a long weekend. Every time they come they want to go to Disney World even though they have been a ton. They love it and personally I love to see how happy and how much fun they have when they go. Anyway, I have been surfing the web for coupons and Groupon deals. I have racked up quite a few. So much so that I think that we are going to save at least half of what we spent and get to eat lunch( you know how expensive that is) for free! I know that my husband is much more onboard with these type of things when he knows that he is not going to put a huge hole in his wallet. Being a grandparent is almost more expensive than being a parent! You get to shower and spoil your grandkids and then send them back home when they need to be disciplined!

Babyopoly Swaddle Blanket review

Welcome to the Babyopoly Swaddle Blanket review. You may ask what is a Babyopoly Swaddle Blanket? Well it's a cute baby blanket with different squares representing the trials and tribulations of babyhood. The size of the blanket is 30 x 40 and is wrapped in a tulle bag with bow...so cute.

I love the colors and graphic designs on babyopoly swaddle blanket and it really does looks like a monopoly game board all you need is the three little babychix's shown above to play the game. I think that would have really been great. Can you image playing with your baby on this blanket at a nice park or just in the center of the floor. It's also a cool gift to share with that new mom who's looking for that unique gift. Babyopoly  even have Timeout, College Savings squares listed too. So cute!

I have a friend who is having a baby and I intend on giving this gift to her along with some more items. I can't wait to see her face for I know many have never seen this product before. I'm so proud to share with you that Babychix supports Kids in Foster care called "one change at a time" movement. It's great to see businesses supporting such great causes for children. Kids need all the help and love they can get. 

All I can say is if your looking for that special / unique baby shower gift for that new mom then visit their site. I'm sure you'll find something you like I did. I like their signature ceramic diapers they're so  adorable.

You can find Babychix on Facebook  & Twitter

Wordless Wednesday....Yes it's True!

              My kids ask: Mommy is it true that Angels watch over us? Yes dear it's TRUE!

 I wanted to share a small story with you, Many of you know two weekends ago we lost one our greatest singers "Whitney Houston" but what you don't know is that minutes before she died (per her mothers words) her moms door bell ranged three times, as she proceeded to the door and open it , no one was there.

Her mother went back to doing what she was doing and a few minutes later the door bell ranged again and again she proceeded to the door and still no one was there. Just minutes later is when she received a call from her son Whitney's brother telling her that Whitney had died.

I believe it was Whitney stopping by to see her MOM just one more time as an ANGEL!

This store is not a rumor, it is the truth shared by a reliable source who attended the funeral and this is mentioned on Whitney Obituary!

Yes it's true, ANGELS are real!

Nail Sticker Review

Today I received a small pack of  'nail art stickers' designs from Online Nail Bar Co.when I opened the pack I was surprised to see how small they were yet the designs were cute. Once I took the time to visit the site I saw a few things that captured my eye.

The pre-designed nails listed at the side are cute. I noticed it's a website to meet your girly nail needs. I think the nail art would be really good for children aging from 7-12.You know during special occasions like Easter, Weddings or just for fun. The designs are small and just right for a child's nail.

Now don't get me wrong I did see items for adult but as for the nail art stickers I received today, they would be great for kids. When you have time visit Online Nail Bar site and take a look around maybe there's something listed to meet you nail needs.

My Soda Stream Fountain Jet Starter Kit.....WOW!

Have you ever reviewed a product that makes you say WOW! Well this is how me and my family feel about SodaStream. Are you aware that millions of plastic and cans are not recycled every year and with saying that the pollution levels are at risk for us all but with the SodaStream product you don't have to worry about recycling anything. Everything you need to make your soda is right there at your hands and right in your home. Not only is it good for the environment the design adds a classy look to your kitchen decor.

It's so easy to work. Last week my family and I took our time to read the full instructions and set the SodaStream up for friends and family.

 We open the box and saw this wonderful stylish machine

1) Fountain Jet Soda Maker
 2) 6 (16.9 fl oz bottles) of soda mixes
 3) 1(25.4 fl oz) soda mix
 4) 4 travel soda mixes
 5) 2 1liter bottles with caps
 6) along with a few diet mixes
 7) Carbonated gas cartridge

Plus a user manual

The machine itself is made of plastic and relativity light. It stands 16.7 in height and fits just right in my kitchen not much space is needed nor taken up. When we started to test the SodaStream I was a little worried that everything wouldn't work, the drinks would be nasty, the carbonated gas would explode or will we just make a out right mess.

Well none of the above happen if anything I was impressed and so was my family and friends. Everyone was so excited that we all had a chance to make a soda, yes that's right everyone that was over made their own soda and was at awe how this machine was able to produce soda, not just soda but good soda. You fill the 1 liter bottle up with water there is a line on the bottle indicating how far the water level should be next you add the desire soda syrup. Screw the bottle onto the soda stream machine and press the button three times to hear the buzz sound .*WA-LA*....there goes your soda.

I'm so *Happy* that SodaStream allowed the Night Helper to participate in this campaign I can't wait to buy refills for my daughters birthday party. There is another great benefit about the SodaStream Jet Maker  you never have to worry about spending money on soda pop or can pop. Think of all the money you are saving and plus your helping to keep our environment clean. FYI: bottles can not be used in dishwasher!

I wish I could say what Oprah said:. you get a SodaStream, he get a SodaStream, we all get a SodaStream...lol but I can't but I will say this, it's a great investment to add to your everyday life.


Again, Thanks SodaStream for allowing the SodaStream Machine Maker to be added to our home.

Mom Does Review's Review:

Mom Does Reviews received the Friendship Pack from Lovable Labels and have been in love with them since!  My labels say    "MomDoesReviews" so I am labeling everything I can find.  I use them on my prizes that I mail out, I use them on my folders and organizers to keep me sane.  And, I even put a few on my laptop.  Well, my son helped me do that.   The colors are bright and fun.  They are super-sticky so I can see how they would last in the dishwasher or out in the sun.  I can see so many uses for these labels.  Any school items, even pencils can be labeled.  Tupperware, Nintendo, legos, headphones, you name it, the labels will probably outlast the toys!


Mom Does Reviews also received a small pack of labels with my son's name on them.  He loves them.  Now that he's 9, he isn't into stickers like he used to be.  But, it didn't take him long to find original uses for his labels.  I stopped him before he put one on the turtle:)  Mom Does Reviews gives Lovable Labels 5 out of 5 stars!

Lovable Labels has generously supplied us with a pack of "Friendship Pack" for one lucky winner!

The winner will be selected by random draw and will have 48 hours to respond before another winner is selected.

Alright Plus Size Clothing review

Look what came to me last week. I was chosen from Alight online clothing store to do a review on one of their clothing pieces and this is what they sent me. It's a pretty colorful blouse with many great designs. It's also a sleeveless blouse with an open V-neck. The colors are so vibrate and it's surely a blouse to wear this summer with a good pair of shorts.

Alight has some very nice items on their site I really like all the active wear being that I'm working out almost everyday . I tried on the blouse and WOO, lol  it's not for me. I only say that because I'm an older lady that dress a little more conservative but my daughter in-law was really pleased when she saw it. Upon viewing Alight clothing I found that everything on their site is mostly for juniors and the younger generation.

I'm happy to say that even though the blouse didn't fit into my life style it fit right into my daughter in-laws style and guess what? Her birthday is next week so *Happy Birthday* to my daughter in-law from me and Alight.

Take a moment to visit Alight I'm sure if you have a teen they will love to add their clothing to their wardrobe. 

A Big Thank You to Kristin from Whole Lotta Mama for organizing this review with Alight!

Eraselet Review and Giveaway! Ending 2/18

 Welcome to the Eraselet review & giveaway. This is such a cool product for your kids to have on hand. I received the Eraselet package and was shocked at how cool they look and how they really work. It seems every time we go shopping my kids have to get pens, pencils and of course more erasers. Children go through school supplies so fast and with the amount of homework coming home each day erasers are a must.

Many will ask ..What Is Eraselet? Well they are soft rubber  bracelets that can be used to rub out something written. They are so easy to use once you make a mistake with your pencil just pull your Eraselet over the top of your thumb and erase, "Boom" the mistake is erased. Now that's different but you know what else is cool. You didn't tear your paper like some erasers do.

My daughter was happy to take them to school to share with her friends, I can't wait to hear what they say about Eraselets when she gets home today.

Here is a snippet About the Company:  Bryan Ricci, invented the Eraselet as a way for his three young daughters, all in elementary school, to keep from losing their erasers. All three daughters love bracelets, so why not an eraser in the form of a bracelet? The product, a revolutionary eraser in the form of a bracelet, was given the title "Eraselet", patent-pended and trademarked through the USPTO (United State Patent and Trademark Office). Eraselets are made in the USA & 10% of net profits go to help http://www.eraseworldhunger.org/


Just think if your school is having a fundraiser or your church is in need of raising funds Eraselet would be a good. They also have many designs and a Custom Department to help you with any cause or business promotions. They are inexpensive and also available at many Dollar General Stores and Lifeway Christian retail stores.

There is a "special offer" on their site  if you place an order with the Custom Department, and use the code SMILE (all Caps) at checkout, you will be entered into a drawing to win 250 CUSTOM ERASELETS!!!


Now it's your turn to win a set of Eraselet.One winner will WIN a pack of Eraselet of their choice.

Wordless Wednesday. "Dreams Do Come True"....just believe!

It's POTTY TIME

                                                                It's Potty Time   

I had a chance to review Potty Time CD with my grand-kids the last few days. My youngest grand-child is in the potty training stage and it has been very hard for my daughter in-law to get him to sit down on the potty. I kept him for a few days last week and this weekend hoping to share a few tips and tricks with him on using the potty.   

He listens to me very good and for some reason I have that effect on training children to potty, I guess potty training is one of my callings. *smiling*. We did a few things this weekend that seem to work out very well for him. He was doing very well with using the potty and was excited even more when I put the potty time CD in the recorder.

Potty Time   CD is a great potty tool to share with your children it has the ability to catch a child's attention once it starts. It was so exciting to see his face light up with excitement. Not only was the Potty CD animated with great characters  for children it also featured many segments of singing and signing. It teaches children how to listen to their bodies, to stop what they are doing and go use the potty and how to deal with accidents. Rachel Coleman did a good job with the singing/ signing on the potty time CD. We all enjoyed that the most.

Let's just say my grandson really enjoyed  the Potty Time CD and all while he was here he did a wonderful job in sitting on the potty. As long as I had the potty time CD going he sat there for at least an hour and handled his business. I think potty time is a great teaching CD and I'm sure every home that invest in adding this CD to there potty collection will have success.

Thanks Potty Time for allowing me to share my views and your CD with my grand-kids/ readers!

Children Advil review

It's flu season around my home. Seems like one child get's over the flu then here comes the other child with fever, stomach aches and much more. It's been really crazy with all the sickness in my home. Some doctors say it's best to wait the flu out for some strains of flu are having no effect with medicine. In my many years of Nursing I just think it's best to let the flu run it's course but when it comes to a child running a fever I'll have to bring out the best Children's Advil.

Children's Advil provides fast relief and keeps your child fever down for 8hrs. In a recent studies it is showed that administering Children's Advil is more effective then most acetaminophen. Just make sure to stay focus on giving child Children's Advil instead of alternating form Ibuprofen and acetaminophen, it's less confusing.

Always make sure you follow the recommended dosages prescribed by your child's physician and most of all keep Children's Advil and all medicine out of the reach of children.

Make sure to keep an eye on your children as well sometimes Children's Advil may cause your child's stomach to become a little upsetting. I know for my daughter this sometimes happens when I administer Children's Advil you can assist with this by making sure your child take something to eat or drink milk when dosage is given. 

I like Children's Advil and I always keep this product around not only for my kids but also for my grand-kids who comes over sometimes and feel a little under the weather it's a great product to have on hand.

Once again, I stress this not only as a retired Nurse but also as a MOM....Please read all direction when administering any medication to your children and if an over dose occur call 911 at ONCE!

Reuseit Travel Mugs

 Look what came in the mail yesterday. That's right the Stainless King Thermos 'travel mug'. I was so delighted to see it because my husband travels a lot on the road so I figured this 'travel mug' would be just right for him.

I'm glad to see that this Thermos tumbler is 100% leak-proof with a Drinklock to it. I hate getting in my husband work truck and seeing the spills from his coffee. He cleans his truck almost everyday just from spills.

The Thermos travel mug also keeps your liquids cool for 9hrs and hot for 5hrs. Now that's a 'travel mug'. Stainless steel, leak proof, unbreakable, 16 ounces and keeps you liquids hot and cold. Woohoo everything you need is right there for your travel needs.

Well I'm off to fix some homemade soup and fill my husband Thermos so he can hit the road. He's off on a long journey and when he makes it to his first rest stop his soup will be hot and ready.

Thanks Reuseit Travel Mugs & Mom Blog Society !!
