Coppin’s Gifts Willow Tree Figurine {Review}

grandmother

I love receiving Willow Tree Figurines. I am not much of a collector for things that sit around the home, but there is just something about this brand that I like. They are so simple in design, but I love the elegance of them. I have a few different ones, including the pregnant lady and new mom ones. I recently received a Willow Tree Figurine to review from Coppin's Gifts. Coppin's Gifts is a nice website that features gift ideas from a number of brands, including DaVinci Beads, Happy Nappers, and - you guessed it! - Willow Tree. It's hard just to choose one item from their website - there were so many I liked! For my review, I received the Willow Tree "Grandmother" figurine. This one will actually be a birthday present for my mom (hopefully she doesn't read this before May 29th!). Coppin's Gifts have many of the Willow Tree figurines to choose from, and this one fits my mom best. … [Read more...]

New 2 Box Cheerios {Review & Giveaway}

Cheerios Club Stores prize pack photo

Cheerios is a favorite around our home. For breakfast, I often make Sawyer a trail mix with dried fruit, cranberries, and Cheerios. It may not be the best option but he likes it. With this current picky-ness it's hard to get him to agree to anything sometimes, so we usually go with what he will eat. He also eats Cheerios as snack every now and then. We keep a small box of it in his bag for when we are out and about. With Cheerios' new 2 box option, we are able to stock up on the cereal that the kiddo loves. The packaging allows for an easier storage, so we aren't worried with buying too much cereal. Plus: By reducing the amount of air in each individual bag, these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging While each box contains more cereal, packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios … [Read more...]

Saving Money on your Online Shopping

Shopping on the internet has made my life so much easier. Rather than going into a store, browsing around, and blindly making a purchase, I can shop with confidence and knowledge when I do it online. I am able to read reviews, ask my online friends their opinions, and compare prices among websites. Also, I can usually find a promo code that will allow me to save even more than I could in the store. There are many websites online that allow you to find discounts and codes to save you money. Take PromotionCode.org, for example. Browsing this site, I found lots of deals to save on my purchases as well as on the shipping costs. Their home page has some of the best deals currently offered from a range of websites that I am interested in. It is well laid out with categories and even includes a search feature. I can easily find the codes I am looking for, saving me money as well as time … [Read more...]

Gift Ideas for Men: Shaving Products!

Gift ideas for men

With Father's Day quickly approaching, it is time to start thinking about gift ideas for men. In celebration of the holiday, I decided to tackle a manly topic on my blog: Shaving! Most men do it, but I don't really know how to talk about it myself - so I'm going to let my husband do it. James here. When it comes to shaving, I am pretty simple in my routine. I make it easy on myself by shaving in the shower. This prevents hair falling into - and around- the sink, something that my wife doesn't really care for. I use a shaving cream designed for sensitive skin, because my face is easily irritated by a razor. The shaving usually comes last in the shower, and I only do it every other day - which also helps prevent the irritation. As far as my exact routine, I basically just lather up and go at it with the razor. Once I'm finished and out of the shower, I will splash a little … [Read more...]

4 Ways Local Businesses Can Benefit from Internet Marketing

Local businesses may not know much when it comes to marketing themselves online, but they should know this - it can be VERY effective if done right. The following are just a few of the benefits that a business seeks to gain if they include the internet in their promotional campaigns. 1. Having a website increases your reach. If you can service more than just local customers (by shipping products, for example), your business can thrive from online marketing. Brick and mortar businesses are limited to local advertising - and therefore, local customers - unless they take their promotions to the next level by hopping on the internet. 2. Being in Google Places will improve local business. Have you ever searched for nearby restaurants, plumbers, or dentists on Google? The first results that are often shown are businesses that have listed themselves with Google Places. If you want … [Read more...]

Sleeping Baby Happy Parents {Review}

gebcover

It's always nice to have babies that sleep well at naptime and at night. Some parents get lucky and have children that always "sleep like a baby", but others aren't so fortunate. Thankfully, there are music CD's like "Sleeping Baby Happy Parents". This CD came to life when parents of triplet babies couldn't get their little ones to sleep. They tried several products and had no luck. However, one night when it was raining, the babies slept soundly. The soft patter of raindrops hitting their bedroom window seemed to lull them right into dreamland. Upon further research, the parents realized that the sounds of nature had been used for hundreds of years to get little babies to sleep. We were able to review the CD, and I have to say it has worked for our kiddo. He likes to have music on when he is going to sleep. We have tried other types of music and they worked well, but he gets … [Read more...]

Shake, Rattle, & Roll Sponsor: Ella’s Kitchen {Review}

ellaslogo

Snack time is probably Sawyer's favorite meal. We try to get foods for him that he can eat completely by himself. He still has a little trouble with a fork, so it's good if he has finger foods or something like that. That's why we were so excited to review the snack pouches from Ella's Kitchen. Ella's kitchen was started by a mom who wanted to make healthy, easy to take on the go snacks for her daughter. They use a kid's POV when creating recipes for their products so that little ones will enjoy them! They are still nutritious, which turns out to be a win-win! For our review, we received this 10 pack sampler... The package featured an assortment of Ella's Kitchen's products, which I really liked. It's nice to be able to try many of a company's products when conducting a review. My son isn't old enough to tell us his favorite, but I will say he gobbled all of them up! Most of them were … [Read more...]
