As a purex insider I was given the opportunity to test out these new packs! and let me tell you these are the greatest thing since bubble gum, how easy to just toss one in the wash no messy liquid detergent rings on your washing machine and imagine that they get the clothes clean and smell great

Smurf Party sponsored by Crowdtap

Mom Select Time Island Review

I was given a wonderful opportunity to do a review for Mom Select on Time Island. As a mother of 4 my 2 oldest love video games and playing games on the PC, this game was something they enjoyed to play together, even as an adult I found it to be quite fun myself and Im not a big gamer, I will try anything once but this is something I have found myself coming back to play with my girls.

UPDATE: The girls were thrilled to receive the package of goodies that were sent to them we have set time aside each day to play Time Island usually in the evening before bedtime, this is a program that I would have no problem recommending to other parents.

Purex Crystals

As a Purex insider I  recently was given a sample of the Purex Crystals to try, now let me say that this is something I have on many occasions just cruised right on by while at walmart, not giving them a second look, I use purex laundry soap I always have along with snuggle fabric softener. I am now hooked on these crystals! I cant believe the softness and the scent it really does last so much longer than snuggle! My husband even took notice when I washed our bedsheets and he couldnt believe the softness as well as the scent. I recommend these to everyone now if you have not tried these you must because you will be hooked.

ThredUP

This is an awesome site I have been using for a few months for swapping my kids clothes and Toys, Follow them on facebook as well because that is where you will find the seasoned swappers and you can discuss what your looking for on the site

Deals and Steals Kids Clothes!

So on my latest quest of finding the best deals and steals the ones I get most excited about are finding clothes for the kids 75-90% off! and since the beginning of the year I have been doing just that, mostly what Im on watch for are things for my son because he is the youngest and only boy so he wont be wearing his sisters hand me downs and for my oldest daughter who is starting school this year. right here is a picture for each child and what they have so far the total for these clothes full price would have cost $622 NO WAY do I ever pay full price it has to be on sale or I have to have a coupon or it has to be a total necessity for me to pay full price, total we paid for all of this just under $100  $98.02 to be exact, almost all of this is either from kohls or target some walmart items gymboree and old navy

Ebeanstalk.com

I recently had the pleasure of of being re-introduced to Ebeanstalk.com.

A great source for kids toys Kids Toys of all ages!!

 In the past I had done a product test or two but that was before I had my youngest child. I had honestly forgot how simplified it was to find exactly what I was looking for! I love being able to search by age category as well as boy or girl. I have a 2 year old daughter and this is a perfect example of the selection of
 Toys for a 2 year old

Wooden Toys  Another popular toy in our house is wooden blocks and trains, here are some great items

   .

Even though I have 3 girls and only 1 boy my girls LOVE wooden trains and blocks, I used to be a big Amazon shopper for toys but it was really hard to find what I was looking for in a decent amount of time it was too much searching and comparing that is one thing about Ebeanstalk that I love the most, Im busy and it makes things so much easier for me.

I still have the touch :)

So I havent been bargain shopping well actually I havent at all this year GASP! this time last year I was clipping coupons and hitting deals left and right ( mostly at target ) well yesterday I hit a small jackpot nothing like my major hauls from last year but still made me happy all of this for $8.50 diapers and wipes $1.50 for both after coupons 2 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans for Cheyenne $1.12 each and a tshirt for Bubbz $2.50

And Also today I got a wonderful gift in the mail from a dear friend of mine she knows how I love me some bath and body works LOL this picture is missing the handsoaps as I am already using them :)

GOGOS Crazy Bones!!!

My kids were lucky enough to host a party for the New GoGos Crazy bones!! these were a huge hit! I personally at first thought oh my goodness all these little pieces to pick up but watching the kids open the packages and saying WOW Cool look at this one OH I want that one trade me it was great!! Thank you Childs Play Party!

Playtex Sport Wipes

I had the pleasure of testing out these great new wipes because Im a proud member of Crowdtap! they sent me samples for me and some friends to try out. First off I sweat ALOT and I hate it I shower 3 times a day during the warm months because I hate being sweaty and feeling icky. These actually do what they say!! I used these twice already once after doing housework and once after a brisk walk and indeed I did feel the difference and I loved how they didnt have an overpowering perfume smell nor did they leave an icky residue on my skin. A+++ in my book!

Modern Mom insider Barbie Fairy Secret Party Pics

So as I stated before my girls were selected to have a Barbie Fairy Secret party! They loved it!! the movie played constantly for 3 days and that has finally gotten back to once a day LOL but they still play with their barbies constantly! I had to go out and buy my oldest daughter another barbie because as you can see from the photo within 15-20 minutes the hand snapped off, not expected at all but needs to be looked into because it could be a hazard if more of them do this, but ModernMom took care of us and said they are sending her a new barbie so now we will have an extra. Thanks again ModernMom

Set of 2 Princess Pillow Books - StorkBrokers.com

would make a great Easter Gift!!

Boogie Wipes!!

I discovered these about 2 years ago in Target, being the mother of 4 young children sometimes getting them to keep their noses clean is a fight. I found these to be popular with my 2 oldest daughters they love the Grape Scented ones! my 2 youngest like the unscented ones. These are a great product and a must have I carry them in my purse and in the car and have been known to use them a time or two myself :)

My latest creation

Disney Store online

I have to say by far that the best customer service I have received in a very long time was from the Disney Store online. We preordered Tangled for the girls so that we could also get the lithographs that are absolutely Beautiful! We put the bluray in just as soon as it arrived and it did not work, we tried other movies they played fine, after looking at it, it looked as though it was not burned there was nothing on the disc to indicate that it had been like all the other movies we checked, this is just what my husband thinks, so I emailed Disney notifying them of the problem and they immediately said they would replace it for FREE!! They Get 5 stars!!

Pampers Kandoo

My 3 girls Love these wipes!! we go through so many of them, I like them as well because they are just the right size and flushable. And with coupons that come out from time to time you can get these at a great price, Im here to tell you that one of those opportunities is coming up  on April 2nd check the P&G brandSAVER coupons in your paper to save big on Pampers Kandoo, a great product from a trusted company.

Garanimals!!

I have to brag about this line of clothing I love Carters clothing but it is a bit pricey, and being as I have 4 kids to buy clothes for we need good deals. Garanimals is the line of infant and toddler clothing at walmart. Very cute and Very Affordable!http://blog.garanimals.com/

My youngest daughter ( Diva in training ) has a shirt that is Garanimals that is 2 sizes too small but she wears it daily and I must wash it daily as she waits by the dryer for it to come out! Of course I cant get any bigger sizes as it is from 2 seasons ago!
