A few weeks back, I was sent a Daddy Diaper Backpack. The pack is made by DaddyScrubs, a company that makes all sorts of neat stuff geared towards dads, including scrubs, hats, shirts & more.I was very excited to try this since my husband absolutely hates carrying around our daughter Winnie the Pooh diaper bag. He’s more open to carrying my purse. The backpack has several large compartments, as well as a ton of smaller ones that you can fit just about everything in, including keys, phones, wallets and more.. It also has pockets on the side for bottles.We have already gotten a great deal of use out of it. We’ve been packing it up on the days I have physical therapy for my husband to have while he is shopping with our daughter. It’s also the perfect overnight bag for when she stays with grandma too. I can get her wipes tub, diapers (for when she’s out), learning laptop, and blanket in the big compartment. All of her clothing, Sippy cup & other assorted stuff easily fit in the ...
Product Review – EpiCor
A while back, I was asked to test out EpiCor. EpiCor is a natural ingredient that works to help boost your immune system. I was sent two bottles, along with some extra goodies as well.I had somewhat mixed results with this one. Since I’m not exactly sure what all is in it, I was a bit leery of taking it since I have medicine allergies. Plus, I already take multi-vitamins and drink a lot of orange juice for the Vitamin C, & I didn’t want to have any bad reactions to stuff mixing. When I first received my bottle of EpiCor, I had a sinus infection, so I had to wait to finish the antibiotic I was taking before I could start. I took a pill every other day just to be safe side.While taking it, I didn’t really notice any difference in the way I felt. I still was having problems with my sinuses, but was treating it with Claritin. I did notice that this didn’t seem to make my stomach hurt like the probiotics did in the past. I think that if I was taking it daily that I would get better ...
Book Review – 2:32 AM by Emily Ford
2:32 AM is the debut novel by young adult author Emily Ford. The story is about a teenager named Cat, who has been picked to carry of the legacy of a 700 year-old Djinn (genie). As she finds herself thrust into the world of genies, she has to deal with both her normal life & the ramifications of what her very long future holds.I was very excited to be asked to review this book, since the general storyline is different from much of what is available for young adults today. My sister-in-law is in middle school and you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find books for her that doesn’t have rampant sex, violence & language in them. It is even harder to find something that isn’t a Twilightknockoff. As I have mentioned in past book reviews, I am by no means a professional author. Aside from product reviews, some poetry & a newspaper article, I have never been published. I greatly admire anyone who is able to get an entire novel written out. It can be a very long and difficult ...
Product Review – Red Envelope
I was recently invited to try out Red Envelop, another sister site to both Pro Flowers and Shari’s Berries which I have reviewed in the past. Red Envelope is a gift site that carries unique items along with several items from its sister sites. Like the other sites, the layout is the same and very easy to navigate. You can search for gift items according to who you are buying it for (for him, for her, ect…), and then break it down the type of item (outdoor, toys, ect…). There are a wide range of very unique item to choose from, including wooden watchers, electronic gadgets & personalized items. I browsed through the Anniversary Gifts for Him, since our anniversary is next month. It only took me a few minutes to find a very neat magnetic light that he can use on his grill. Normally, I would have a line to the item, but it has since sold out and I cannot find it on the site now. I received the gift about a week later, several days sooner that it was scheduled. I’ve hidden it the ...
quick update
I'm fiddling with the menu a bit. I'm working on switching it over to a drop down menu. I've gotten most of it switched over, but I'm going to be going back through the product reviews and labeling them by category. Once I do that, the review tab will also have a drop menu. My goal is to be able to get rid of the label box & making the site easier to navigate. ...
Guest Article – How to Build a Zen Fish Tank
Bright colors and a tropical motif may define the perception that many of us have of what a fish tank should look like. However, with the right ornaments, you can build a fish tank that exemplifies just about any design aesthetic. One of the easiest aesthetics to create is a clean, natural, calming Zen-style aquarium. Think of a Japanese garden on a smaller scale -- and in your very own home. Use it as a learning experience with your kids -- have them study pictures of Zen art and style, and ask them to help identify ornaments that will match this style. Choose Ornaments Wisely To find out what types of Zen ornaments are available to you, do a bit of research on fish tank ornaments for UK customers. The internet offers a wealth of options, which are broader than what will be available in a brick and mortar store. You could set up a page on a site like Pinterest to capture your ideas while you decide just how to set up the aquarium. As a rule of thumb, you want to stick to ...
