Last week, I was sent a MIRA Digital Kitchen Scale to test out. The scale has a large digital face on it, comes with a stainless steel bowl, & holds up to 11 lbs. I have reviewed a digital scale in the past, and while it is good I have noticed with further use that it can be very hard to read the numbers on it due to the placement of the screen. With this scale, the face is large and set out from where the bowl sites…making it super easy to read. Plus, the numbers are large so you don’t have to squint at them. It has a tare function and you can easily switch between grams, ounces, pounds & milliliters, with is very handy. It also has a backlight which is really bright. Even better, the scale comes with a full warranty. I’ve already used it a great deal. I really like the bowl, since I can use it for other stuff. I’ve had to get after my husband on several occasions for trying to use it to take food out to the dogs in (I lose more bowls that way). Now, I would be ...

Produt Review – The Snugg
While I was on vacation, I received the best pitch ever for a product review. The item was The Snugg is a company that makes high quality cases for iPhones, Kindles, tablets & more. Here are a few snippets from the email: "If you are still reading, then thank you. I am lucky enough to represent a company called Snugg. I appreciate that there are trillions of people who sell covers, and I won’t ram a load of facts and figures down your throat and will try to keep it to a [minimum.] Your blog is fantastic so I would like to send you a cover, feel free to keep/distribute at your will, without charge, and I would invite you to leave a frank, honest and genuine review of our product.

Since Snugg offers a variety of products, I got to pick which one I wanted to review. It goes without saying that I ...
PhoneFetcher Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
Two weeks ago, I was sent a PhoneFetcher. The PhoneFetcher is an elastic cord that attaches to your phone and then clips to something so that you don’t lose it. One end of the PhoneFetcher is an alligator clip and the other end is a small plastic plug to goes into the headset/earphone outlet. It can attach to anything, and makes it supper easy to find your phone in any bag or purse. I’m constantly losing my phone down in the diaper bag, and I usually have to dump the entire thing out to find it. This is especially annoying when I’m carrying Hannah around. I know that all you fellow mommy’s out there feel my pain. So, needless to say, I was extremely excited to try this one out. When my PhoneFetcher finally arrived, I immediately put it to work. The plug easily & snuggly fit into my Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, and I then clipped it to the inside of the diaper bag. I was then able to easily pull my phone out when shopping. All I had to do was tug on the cord, and out came ...
ZeroWater Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
Last week, I was sent a 10 cup ZeroWater Pitcher. ZeroWater pitchers come with a 5-Stage Dual Ion-Exchange filter that removes almost all solids from your water. This gives it a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) reading of 000, making it the purest water you will find. I have wanted to try one of these for a long time. The water in our town used to taste pretty good until works broke a water main pipe a few years back. Since then, it has been virtually undrinkable. We still cook with it, but we drink bottled water. According to the ZeroWater website, the average TDS reading in our area is 233. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. When I received my pitcher, the first thing I did was use the included TDS reader to test my tap water. I put some in a glass and got 129. That’s better than what the site said, but still icky. Next, I tested my bottled Ozarka water. I figured that it would be maybe a three or a four max, since it’s supposed to be filtered and ‘natural ...

MoH Band Review and Giveaway [ENDED]
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Mom Blog Society. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I was recently sent a MoH Band to test out. A MoH (MemoryOhHand) Band is a wristband with a built in USB flash drive. You are able to fasten it around your wrist and take it with you where ever you go. I do a lot of photography and design work in my spare time. While it's easy to send photos to WalMart online, I have take any design file directly to the store to have them printed...due to usually having to fill out a copyright form. I have a few differetn USB drives, but I always end up having to spend a ridiculas amount of time trying to dig it out of my purse becase it's so small. The MoH Band is great because it's on my wrist, ready to go. There is no possible way that I'm going to loose it. Plus, it doesn't even look like a USB drive on first glace, just a rubber bracelet. ...
