Review of Reach CleanPaste Floss
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Products for your teeth aren't that all exciting, I know. But a cleaner, easier, and more comfortable way to floss is!Reach has come out with a new kind of floss. It's not just minty (like some). It's definitely not waxy (like others). It's really just kind of pasty. Coated with a toothpaste-like material, this floss really slides in easily between teeth (even those that are really close together.) And it's called CleanPaste!
I loved how fresh my mouth felt after using the floss. The shred-resistant and totally yummy-tasting floss held up well and lasted longer than other floss. I'm totally hooked!
CleanPaste floss is available anywhere you would buy other stuff for your mouth! (Get your valuable coupon HERE.)

Review of Bed Bugz Bed Bolster
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Nothing is more dreadful than that hearing a "thud" from your little one's bedroom, and you instantly know that they have fallen out of bed -- again.What can a parent do to keep little tykes where they can safely sleep? Metal bed rails are not comfortable or practical to take with you on the road. Plastic rails don't fit all sizes of beds and can be difficult to install. What about a comfy bed rail that is easy to install and you can take it anywhere?
Toddler Coddler has the brightest idea in bed safety -- the Bed Bugz! These super cozy bed bolsters are inflatable and can attach to any size bed in minutes! (Note: The original size fits toddler beds up to a double bed. New larger sizes will be coming out for queen and king sized beds.)
The Bed Bugz can keep tiny ones from falling into the cracks between the bed and the wall (something that always scares my toddlers!) They are lightweight and can be used at relatives' houses, hotels, and RV's!We liked that they worked so well, and my kids didn't wake up with "bar" marks on their faces from sleeping against them at night. The covers are washable, so drool stains and other dirty smudges can come out with ease.
Check out all the colors of Bed Bugz at their website. You can choose from pink, blue, and light green (all adorned with the adorable, snoring bed bug!) Available at Amazon and other family-friendly retailers!

Review of Mia's Reading Adventure: The Bugaboo Bugs Software
Monday, May 12, 2008
Computer games are a fun hobby at our house, but I really prefer those that teach basic learning skills over those for pure entertainment. We recently had an opportunity to test out Kutoka Interactive's Mia's Reading Adventure: The Bugaboo Bugs with both my 4 and 9-year old children, and the response was overwhelmingly positive!First, let me give you a little background: Mia Reading is a DVD-ROM computer learning software game that provides hours of fun activities for reinforcing the foundational reading skills that every child needs to succeed. But this really is no ordinary educational software! The graphics are beyond amazing! My daughter and I were shocked to see that the game played much like a high-budget computer-animated movie, and she even told me that it was more realistic than games she had played on a Nintendo DS or a PS3. The game was quick-loading, and very easy to set up (it only required a short installation and allowed children to type their name for their play settings.)
In addition to really clever activities that challenged phonics, adverbs, sentence structure, and so much more, the game provided:
• Adventure game includes 12 educational activities
• Two game styles: Adventure Mode and Activities Mode
• Four age-appropriate difficulty levels
• Easy to consult evaluation report to follow the child’s progress
• Educational activities seamlessly integrated into the story
• Colorful environments and endearing characters in a rich
3D environment
• Feature-film quality animation
• Unique navigation system enabling real-time control of
the main character
• On DVD-ROM for an even better graphic quality
(This is a screen shot from our favorite activity in the game! Who doesn't love jellybeans?)This game was just as fun for me to watch as it was for my kids to play! Children will enjoy helping Mia (the mouse) find ways to rid her home of stinky, nasty bug invaders while they build upon their reading skills. Adults will enjoy having a game played in the home that is worthwhile and pleasant to be around (as we all know how annoying some video games can be).
Mia Reading is perfect for summer learning, supplementing homeschool curriculum, or just as a way to pass time in a uniquely enriching way. See more about Kutoka Interactive and the Mia Reading program at their website! (This game is available at major electronics retailers and Amazon.com)

Whaddya Say Mom?
Friday, May 9, 2008
Other fun facts include:
- Good morning! The survey revealed that while 39 percent of new moms believe baby gets fussier in the evening, the morning is a different story. More than eight out of 10 new moms (81 percent) agree that baby is more pleasant in the morning.
- Advancing nutrition. According to the National Network for Childcare, infants can start on solid food between ages 4 to 6 months. According to survey respondents, nearly twice as many moms are introducing solid foods earlier - four to five months old (38 percent) - rather than later - six to seven months (20 percent).
- Food fun and function. When it comes to feeding baby, more than half of new moms (55 percent) think it is fun to see infants react to different flavors and textures. But new moms agree that baby food performs specific roles, such as introducing solid foods (80 percent) and nutrition (77 percent) into baby’s diet.
- Warm hearts, worried minds. Not surprisingly, nearly all new moms (93 percent) warmed to baby’s first smile as the most popular, unexpected joy of being a new mom. However, new mommy-hood isn’t all smiles; some of the biggest concerns among new moms are worries about baby getting sick (62 percent) and giving baby proper nutrition (57 percent).
- No expense spared. For 65 percent of new moms, nutritional value and variety of flavor are the most important factors when purchasing baby food, compared to 21 percent who consider cost.
(1) Beech-Nut tote
(2) jars of Good Morning (soluable fiber)
(2) jars Beech-Nut DHA plus+ (including the new Wild Alaskan Salmon)

Review of Reliable Steamboy T1 Floor Mop
I love the convenience of having hard flooring throughout my whole house. It's easier for all the spills and thrills that having 3 young boys can bring about. What I DON'T like is the nasty residue and yucky mop water that is involved with traditional mopping. I have now officially converted to a new way to mop, and I'm sure you'll love it too!
The Reliable Steamboy T1 Floor Mop is brilliance for floors. The 5-minute assembly is simple enough for anyone, and the operating instructions are even more clear. Just fill the tank with tap water (hard-water areas may prefer distilled) and plug in the mop! Within seconds, you're mop is ready to use the power of all-natural, non-toxic steam to clean and shine those floors! Leave the mop on extra filthy surfaces (around the toilet or trash cans) a little bit longer for super-disinfecting power. The triangle-shaped mop head is great for along floorboards and getting into corners and hard-to-reach areas.
The adequately long cord allowed me to clean my living room, dining room, and the bathroom in less than the time it usually takes me to clean one room! There was no cleaner to use, no mop bucket, and no back-breaking scrubbing. It was -- perfect. When I was finished, I simply tossed the reusable micro-fiber mop head into the wash for next time!
This super-quiet solution is perfect for families with allergies, high-traffic homes, and those moms who don't want to spend an entire afternoon getting semi-acceptable results.
The Reliable Steamboy T1 is available at several fine online retailers, including Amazon, Achoo! Allergy, and HSN.

qubo® Develops Nutritional Guidelines For Advertising Targeted to Children
Wednesday, May 7, 2008
One of our favorite networks (qubo) has decided to step up to the plate when deciding if its advertisers are good for its viewers. The TV and online entertainment service for children announced that it has created nutritional guidelines that will dictate the ads that run on the qubo channel, as well as on the qubo programming slots that air on NBC, ION, and Telemundo.
The guidelines were created with the help of nationally renowned author and expert on childhood obesity, Goutham Rao, MD, clinical director of the Weight and Management and Wellness Center at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. These standards list acceptable daily limits for foods based on calories, fat grams, and saturated/trans fat, sugar, protein, fiber, and sodium.
We personally love all of qubo's children's programming (which includes VeggieTales, Jane and the Dragon, and 3-2-1 Penguins.) I'm glad I'm not the only one who cares about our children's nutrition and health!

Review of iRobot Roomba 400
Monday, May 5, 2008
If I could only have a robot for all my household chores, I'd be a much happier lady, and my house would be cleaner!
While we haven't entered the age of having a robot for every need, we've gotten pretty close with the invention of the iRobot Roomba 400 vacuum cleaner. I picked up the base model for the line of handy helpers just last week, and I was impressed beyond belief!
Just charge up your Roomba, set it in the middle of any floor, push the button, and go do something else for awhile. Roomba will take up to 45 minutes sweeping and vacuuming your hardwood or carpeted room without any assistance! It has features such as stair avoidance, automatic transitioning from hard floors to carpets, a large bag-less bin, and the ability to vacuums beneath furniture and other hard-to-reach places! When it's done, you just open the bagless container and dump it in the trash!
I couldn't believe the amount of dirt, dust, and pet hair that the Roomba picked up even AFTER I swept with my regular broom!
I will never go back to regular sweeping or vacuuming again! Learn more about the coolest machine on earth at iRobot's website.
Get one for yourself at Amazon.com.

Review of Jazzy Toes
Thursday, May 1, 2008
What's cuter than baby socks and baby shoes? How about a baby sock that looks like a shoe!
I'm that neglectful mother you see running around, toting her tot sans shoes. I am that mom that thinks shoes can be a little cumbersome to put on, and I understand that keeping them on is a whole 'nother issue. I'm that parent that feels lucky if we survive a shopping trip without losing a loafer in the store or the parking lot outside the grocery. I'd rather just go with socks, but I hate the glaring looks for bringing baby out shoeless.
Now I have a fashionable alternative with Jazzy Toes! These super-adorable, appropriate-for-any-occasion socks are a cozy alternative to traditional footwear. They feature the "look" of a shoe (or boot or sandal) and have those neat grippy textures on the bottom to prevent slipping! The high-quality sock has just the right amount of elastic to keep 'em on, but they don't constrict a chubby baby's ankles.
I couldn't believe how cute my little pumpkin looked in his! We strolled around with the Jazzy Toes on and got so many compliments! I got approving looks like you wouldn't believe, and he was wearing socks the whole time.
In sizes 0-12 months, 12-24 months, they come in both girl and boy styles. They are packaged in a cute box great for giving and are perfect for sending through the mail! Check out the cutest thing to happen to socks at Jazzy Toe's website!

Review of Scootababy
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
I have a confession to make... while I totally adore all the moms who practice "babywearing" and lug their little ones around in the most stylish of baby carriers, it just hasn't worked out for me in the past. I'm not sure if it is because all my babies have been tiny, and it has been easier to lug them under my arm like a football, or because I'm a little slow to figure out all the flaps, straps, and clips that many of today's carriers force you to continually adjust. (Plus I'm a little scared that my kid may come tumbling out if I forget to fasten something!)One product has changed my view of babywearing forever. It is the Scootababy. Designed for tots over 6 months, I gave it a whole-hearted try with my tiny 1-yr-old. I was amazed to say the least.
This very simple carrier is like no other in terms of construction. It features a lightly padded, shaped seat for baby to sit in, and it doesn't take an army of helpers to get baby in and properly fastened. There is only ONE buckle (much like a seatbelt) and two adjustable straps. That's it. Nothing more. (And we love the fleece shoulder -- super comfy!)
It is comfy, simple-looking, and by far the most practical carrier I've ever tried! I carried my son all day long at a crowded Nebraska Cornhusker football game in crowds of 80,000 people with no worries. He was content to be near me, I was happy to have him safe, and my back and shoulders showed no signs of the usual wear-and-tear that some carriers have granted me in the past.
Give this carrier a look at their website Scootababy.com. You won't be disappointed!

Review of Ziploc Twist N' Loc Containers
Monday, April 28, 2008
If you've suffered the experience of sending hubby to work with leftovers, only to have him LEAVE your good container somewhere in the breakroom (never to return), then you understand the importance of a good disposable container. Put those dessert whip tubs away, and check out my favorite new solution from Ziploc!
I was thrilled to try out the new Twist N' Loc containers after cooking up a batch of Oyster Stew. My hubby HATES the stuff, and needless to say, didn't want any chance of it coming open in the fridge or leaving any kind of odor behind. I poured the leftover soup into the new Twist N' Loc container, and with a few turns of the lid, I knew that it was properly sealed. (I even took a batch over to my parents' house with full faith in the lid staying closed.)
The containers are labeled with measurements to let you know how much is inside, and the container is built tough. With no concerns over a lid potentially popping off, I'm set to go!
Check out the full line of Ziploc storage containers at Ziploc.com!
(Thanks to BzzAgent for hooking us up with a few to try out!)
