Mama's Quiet Time - Product Review


 I received a Crayon Roll with Mat from Mama's Quiet Time. It's awesome... perfect for throwing in the diaper bag to keep "Little Miss" busy on short trips where I don't want to carry a colouring book an the whole sha-bang! LOL. The crayon mat holds a bunch of crayons...and has a reusable mat attached. The mat is washable with a little bit of water (or a wipe...a bit of elbow grease is required...but it's all good)....and rolls up once you're done.



I loved the pattern I got... and that it held an 8 pack of crayons without getting all lumpy. "M" loved it and liked that she could tie it up herself. Mama's Quiet Time makes some pretty cool stuff... you need to go check out Nadine's Etsy site... You'll totally find a few things that are really cute..... and super functional! Take a look at the artist portfolios...crayon rolls and aprons (btw... everything is super reasonably priced)!!


Thanks Nadine! I'm officially hooked on your Hawaiian home-made goodies! I look forward to working with you again :)

Printed T Shirts (Tomoson) - Product Review




I received a grayT-shirt with T-Shirt Printing's logo (Monkey) on it. The shirt was really soft and made of a cotton/polyester blend (90/10). The printing felt a little rubbery... I was trying to figure out what it was made of.... because it washed really...really well and didn't lift at all.

The print on anything from hoodies to vests and work wear. Quality wise... it exceeded my expectations....on the printing side...the silk screen was awesome... but was a little stiff.... which got better after a few washes. This would be great for doing a sports teams uniform.... or something that you need done quickly.

Thanks to printed T-Shirts and Tomoson for letting me do the review.

Pawparazzi - Product Review and Giveaway!!


Pawparazzi set me a Karma (Cat) set and their Winter Holiday Dress-up set. There are 4 new Pawparazzi Pets Karma (Yoga Master), Cooper (Legendary Surfer), Woofgang (Celebrity Chef), and Salsa (Singing Sensation). Each set comes with a purse (Karma's was green... and actually perfect size for "M") a blanket, your pet...and clothing, trading card with some cute facts (Karma's most embarrassing moment was farting in yoga class...lmao)...also accessories (Karma had a yoga mat), a poster... and the packaging can be used as a stage!

We also got the winter dress-up set in pink. Its comes with a hat, scarf, backpack and booties (We couldn't get the booties to stay on but they're super cute... maybe there's a trick to it).

"M" has re-names Karma "meow-meow" sorry Pawparazzi... lol... but I guess it's all about kids and their imagination and having fun. "M" carried around the purse all day... taking "Meow-meow"...in and out.. babbling to herself while she did it... and even putting snacks and stuff in her purse. We even went out and she wanted to bring her along...lol. Karma is a cute Siamese cat..with a blue outfit and mat. Quality of Karma and the accessories is better than I was expecting. the purse is awesome and Karma fits purrrrrfectly (lol). Overall... "M" gives it 2 thumbs up... if she doesn't put it down after 5 min and comes back to it numerous times... we've got a keeper!

Thanks Paparazzi for sending "M" out her new "Meow-meow" and for doing a giveaway too!

Babylicious‏ - Product Review



I received 2 bibs from Babylicious... a Wash and wear (regular bib) and a Get Messy (has sleeves.. smock-like bib). I got the classic pattern (plain Jane) pattern which is white with large pink polka-dots. They are both 100% nylon and are totally machine/dryer friendly... which I LOVE.. .because it means that I can actually get it 100% clean and not have to worry about stuck on food that has been there for months. They both washed really well... the velcro held up and none of the stitching stayed put.

I couldn't believe how soft these bibs were! I have a few different ones like this that are washable etc. these are by far the softest and most flexible. The pattern is cute... check out their new 2011 patterns too... really cute stuff coming! The velcro was really strong... "M" was still able to take both off but could also put them on too. We used the one with sleeve for "Art time" and the one without for regular eating. She tends to not keep bibs on...but she didn't bother with these ones.

Go take a look at their site they have anything from blankets to change pad covers and bumper pads in these super cute patterns! I really like the "Lovely" one... and I know a few of the girls will too!!

Huge thanks to the Babylicious team for sending me out 2 different styles!

SatinPerfect Epilator (BzzAgent) - Product Review



I got to try out a SatinPerfect Epilator (HP6570) through BzzAgent. It is a hair removal system for your legs that actually pulls each hair out (including the root)... allowing you to have softer legs for a longer period of time. It comes with a storage bag... 3 different heads for the epilator... a cleaning brush and charger. It has an extra wide head to help cover more area... a light to help see the hair... and the ceramic disks help grab even the fine hairs. The hairlift and vibration system sends vibrations to help make sure you get all the little hairs and messages the skin after the hair has been removed. It pivots which is awesome!... so knees ....not a problem!

Now... my experience... it was my first time using an epilator...and all I have to say it OUCH! It's almost like I needed a couple of drinks first... lol. After I got over the initial OMG... it did get easier... fyi..the faster you go.. the faster you'll finish... so you gotta move!! LOL. The second time I tried it... it was much easier. I do find that it does take longer than regular shaving if you're making sure you're getting everything. Doing it after you shower is also easier because it softens the hair too. But honestly... it does work really well. I HATE that it isn't cordless though.... kind of a pain in the butt...but the cord is super long, which doesn't make it awkward to use.

Thanks to Philips and BzzAgent for letting me do the review!





For more information and ordering please visit http://www.philips.ca/

Let me know what you think.... would you buy this product? Why or why not? - For those interested in buying one I have 5 coupons to give out if you's like one please let me know ... it'll save you $10!

Andrea's Pacifier Clips - Product Review


I received a pair of red snowflake Mitten Clips and a black Belt Clip from Andrea's Pacifier Clips and More! All the clips are certified lead free with plastic teeth inserts on the inside of the clips to help keep them in place. Washing is simple... hand wash and dry flat... super simple...quick and they dry really fast.


The Mitten Clips are great...and go well with M's white jacket. The ribbon is nice and thick and the clips are super strong...so "M" can't get them off. I like the length of these clips because they're just long enough to make it easy to get her gloves on and off....but not too long...so they don't let her mitts drag on the ground.

The Pant Clip is great for Miss. Skinny Minnie! I like that it had the same clips as the Mitten Clips so they didn't slide around at all...and that it was actually an elastic ribbon between the 2 clips. It was easy to get on and off and the perfect length to grip the waistband of M's pants without making the back of her pants bulky.

You HAVE to go take a look at her site! She makes really cute clips (some great ones for the holidays), pacifier clips... toy clips and bib clips too! Prices are crazy good! Shipping costs are only the postage...and there's free pick-up for those in Milton, Ontario (girls... you know who I'm ;) at when I mention that! lol).

Thanks Andrea for sending me out 2 products to test out! "M" won't lose her mitties this winter!

Life Without Plastic - Product Review and Giveaway!!


 I was sent a 4 pack of Life Without Plastic's Children's Cereal Bowls. They come in 4 colours; pink, blue, green and yellow... have cute animals on them and have a stainless steel interior. The exterior is made of polypropylene plastic  and comes in an eco-friendly box. Obviously these can't go in the microwave or the dishwasher... so hand wash only... the funny thing is... "M" likes to wash these for some reason. It's actually really funny... she's starting to put her dishes in the dishwasher... (or at least attempting to..to feel like a "big girl"...lol).... but she likes to hand wash stuff...lol... so I let her wash them.... she's hilarious...and had a blast...hmm... I hope this sticks... maybe she can start vacuuming next..? LOL.

The pink bowl has a rabbit on it.......the blue a dolphin, green a frog and yellow..a tiger. I love the size of these bowls and the fact that they stack really nicely.  I would have loved for these to come with some lids... they funny thing is... when reading up on their site.. they mention that lids from yogurt containers fit these bowls... so I tried... yep... perfect fit! The quality of these are awesome..the colours are cute...and they're perfect size for both space saving and "M".

Life Without Plastic has some really...really cool stuff... there is a Japanese Wooden set that is cool and they have soooo many home and personal products... it's hard to choose what to buy!

Thanks to Life Without Plastic for sending me out the 4 pack to try out and for offering a giveaway... now I have to decide on all the products I want and start ordering!

Gaddy Nipper Crayons (Tomoson) - Product Review & Giveaway!!!


Sponsored by Tomoson.com

I got to try out 5 Gaddy Nipper ladybug crayons. Gaddy Nipper creates fun shaped crayons from both recycled and upcycled crayons. I LOVE the lady bug shape! I've been collecting all of M's broken crayons (stupid triangle ones... ALWAYS break) and actually have been researching how I can safely melt them to recycle them into new ones... waste not want not right? The quality is awesome.. and I really...really like the fun shapes that Gaddy Nipper carries.
 
Super fun ideas for favors for birthday parties (hmmm... maybe for M's bday..yay!). These were a bit small for "M"...she kept dropping them.. but other than that... we had a great time colouring and signing some gift tags for presents we were wrapping. She kept calling them "bugs"... it was really cute...and she even ran up and said "Daaaadddddyy bugs!!!!"...LOL.


Thanks to Gaddy Nipper Crayons and Tomoson for letting me do this review, it was really fun and "M" like colouring with her ladybugs!

Mummi Quilts - Product Review & Giveaway!!


 I received a cupcake blanket (brown chenille backing) and a matching designer bib from Eeva at Mummi Quilts. The blanket I received is the middle one in the bottom row of the picture :). I LOOOVE the cupcake pattern/fabric... it's SO cute and colourful! The blanket was perfect size for "M"... she's a Mini Linus (from Peanuts)... so she's always dragging around a blanket behind her... and she really liked that this one had a link on it that she used as a handle to drag it around and carry it over her shoulder. The link is for hooking it on to the stroller...but whatever works for her right? LOL. The chenille backing is so soft... "M" kept rubbing it on her face and saying "ooooOooo"...lol. Between that and trying to cover up the dog to snuggle with her... it was an eventful night. The blanket is really well made... and they have a TON of patterns to choose from... plus they're really funky.. so I had a blast looking through their site.


The bib was probably one of the best bibs I've seen in a long time... it's seen here in the picture, but I received it in the cupcake pattern to match the blanket. This is awesome! It's nice and long.. totally cute and there are no velcro...snaps... ties.. nothing! It is made like a t-shirt so it has a hole in it... and it pulls over their head. The neck is ribbed and fits over M's big melon... so she had no problem wearing it...and liked that she can take it on and off.... I liked that it covered her whole shirt... so no more big messes to clean up. Unfortunately for the cat... he ended up wearing it during "play time" tonight... man.... she just loves our pets... and they tolerate her. He did however look really cute in it too! LOL!

Mummi Quilts make a ton of really cute products including Personalized Chenille stroller blanket ....
Personalized Mini ribbon loop blanket .....Princess apron..... Changing mat....Organic pants... they even do personalized embroidery!

Huge thanks to Eeva for sending me out some of her awesome products! I just love the pattern and "M" loves both of the products! Everyone needs to go check out the website... I love that you can personalize everything!
