Pine Mountain Classic Firelogs & Starter Logg Review
I don’t know about you but for me the quickest way to relaxation is to lite a fire in my fireplace, lite some candles and curl up with a good book. I have been using fire logs for a long time now because firewood is expensive, burns too fast and you can never be too sure that it’s seasoned properly or that the wood hasn’t been treated with harmful chemicals plus it just messes with my allergies. It’s important to me that the firelogs that I use in my house are made from recyclable materials and burn safely, that’s why I like Pine Mountain firelogs so much. I recently tried Classic firelogs which are…

Review of Disney Epic Mickey 2: the Power of Two
For our holiday gift guide we were given a copy of Epic Mickey 2: the Power of Two for my son to review in his new corner of the blog titled D’s Corner. We chose a copy for our Xbox 360 since Diego does not have a lot of games for that game console. Epic Mickey 2 is rated E for everybody, so any age group can play the game. The new Disney game immerses the player in a fantasy world full of long forgotten characters and attractions crafted by Waren Spector. Mickey and Oswald, the lucky rabbit join forces. For the first time in history Oswald gets a voice, up until now Oswald…

{ Holiday gift Guide } Sports Illustrated KIDS
My son is an avid sports lover and participator of many different sports including Soccer, his main love though, is martial arts, mainly Jujitsu and Wrestling. However, like most other 10 year old boys born of this technology era, he has been increasingly more interested in becoming a coach potato because of video games, iPhone and television. I wanted to find something that would capture his interest in books and his fascination with proving to mom that he really is a know-it-all. When I found Sports Illustrated for KIDS on the newsstand inside the grocery store while couponing I knew right then that this magazine would capture his love of sports and reading and that he might even be…

Review: Little Star Lullabies Instrumental Music CD
Little Star Lullabies is an 8-trac album available on iTunes or Amazon MP3. Songs include “The Stars Come Out to Say goodnight” “Sleep My Baby” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”. The compositions have been orchestrated with flutes, recorders, harps as well as other instruments such as violin, cello and viola.

Review: It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
It has been a long tradition in my family to listen to holiday music during Christmas.

You can find wonderful songs like “joy to The world” “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and Rocking Carol” You can purchase It Came Upon the Midnight Clear on Amazon for $8.99 or find them on iTunes Here is a wonderful…

Review of The Tale of the Tooth Fairy
The Tooth Fairy has always been such a big part of losing a tooth in our household. Even now, the kids will ask how much money they’re getting from the tooth fairy whenever they lose a tooth. They don’t actually believe in her anymore but the tradition has stuck with them even in their tween and teen years. That’s why I loved this little book and doll set from MK & Company so much. The Tale of the Tooth Fairy comes with a doll, a book and an official tooth record keeper, it’s all packed inside a decorative keepsake box that resembles the inside of a home or lounge room. Inside the book…

Review of Snapper Rock UV50+ Children’s Swimwear
I’m always looking for gift ideas for my niece and two nephews who are hard to buy for because my sister tends to already buy everything they want before I get a chance to get anything, so when I got the opportunity to try a product from a thriving company named Snapper Rock I had to jump at the chance and I was of course thrilled with what I received, but you will need to read on to see it. I had the wonderful opportunity to review a 2-piece suite from Snapper Rock . I chose a black and white stripped Tankini. I was very surprised at how nice the fabric is and it’s very durable…

Review of UGlee Pen
The UGlee pen is designed to be comfortable to use because it was made to keep pain to a minimum, to be comfortable while writing and to be long lasting. It is equipped with a full size grip made from a special material that is indestructible. The grip is extremely comfortable and you do not feel any pain associated with heavy writing. The pen grip was designed to fit the contours of your fingers for ultimate comfort. The ink in the pen is nothing like I’ve ever experienced. It appears to be a cross between fountain, jet and roller ball ink yet is smoother than any of those and never smears. The…

Review of Olive & Nell LivyBelt Waistband
Olive & Nell LivyBelt’s were designed for the tall, skinny child that has a difficult time finding pants or skirts that fit her. With the Livybelt your child won’t need belts, buckles, loopholes, clasps or safety pins because LivyBelt will fit snugly over the clothing item holding it in place. LivyBelt’s are soft, stretchy and will grab onto the clothing, forcing them to stay put. There are 3 different styles of Livybelt to choose from and lots of patterns that your child will love. Traditional Livybelt: is meant to go underneath clothing and is not meant to be seen. This style works best to keep pants in place. The traditional belt is…
