I picked briarpatch puzzles because puzzles are a huge hit in our house.

I love all the great games and puzzles they have. Fancy Nancy would be the first items chosen if my niece were to pick out anything.

I did not pick Kmart because I have been to their site numerous times. I do love it there! I picked Momspit.com. I wanted to read about the products featured in your giveaway. Sounds like a great product line! The best part is the name!

Emergen-C is also one of my favorites.

It makes taking vitamins so easy.

I usually buy the orange flavor.

Thank you!

I went to look at the Emergen-C at Amazon. I love Amazon for its product reviews and ability to buy it new or used. In the case of Emergen-C, used is not an option though. :)

I picked Street Science Supplies, because I had never heard of them before and wasn't sure what they were all about. I was excited to find they have an awesome line of school supplies in designs that my tweener and teen would love. The only thing is, I'm not sure where you go to purchase any of the items. I didn't see where that was mentioned on their site, but I will be keeping my eye open for them.

I visited the Momspit website just to see what it really was. I'm so relieved to see it's not real human spit. i think the lemon and white tea scent sounds yummy.

I visited the MomSpit site to read up on what it's all about. I love that it comes Fig & Green Tea scent! A nice grown up scent.

AmandaSue said...

I visited the Momspit website and I love the fact that it comes in different scents, they sound refreshing but not over powering. And I like that it contains no alcohol and its ok to use on your face.

Xenia S said...

I checked out MomSpit, because that sounds like the kind of product that I could use for my 2-year-old. She hates getting her hands or face wiped and I really do hate using my spit to do it. I laughed at the company's promise that "MomSpit products contain no human saliva, 'cause that would just be gross." It sure would!

Thanks for the giveaway!

I checked out Momspit, because I was very intrigued. I love that its more fun than wipes/washcloth/etc. My two toddlers duck away from me wiping their face, but they would love this!
