Charm Factory Beaded Bracelet Review & Giveaway Ends 12/3

As a woman, I love jewelry.  Who doesn't?  When I was given the opportunity to review a beaded bracelet from Charm Factory I was excited.  My bare wrists could use a pretty little bracelet on it.  My bracelet came today and I have to say that it is a lot prettier in person than it is online. I am very happy with the one I recieved.  I chose the March Aquamarine Bracelet because it has three pretty blue glass beads on the them and I have three wonderful boys.  This bracelet is beautiful to be worn as everyday piece of jewelry and for a special night out. This was an easy latch bracelet to put on myself without the help of my husband.  It came in a white jewelry gift box which was a nice touch compared to just being in a bag or something.




  The bracelet is made with European Style Beads.  You can choose the chain length that you want from 7 1/2, 8, and 9.   They have a lot of beautiful bracelet choices to choose from.  With the holidays just around the corner, this could be a great present for your wife, mom, etc.

Pretzel Crisps® Review and Giveaway ends 12/1

I was recently offered the opportunity to try and review Pretzel Crisps®.  I have tried just a small bag from the deli.  I am amazed at how many flavors there are to try.  I was so excited to try them all. The flavors I recieved are: Original, Garlic Parmesan, Buffalo Wing, Everything, Sesame, Jalepeno Jack, and Chipolte Chedder.  My all time favorite flavor is the Garlic Parmesan with the Chipolte Chedder following close behind.  My kids thought those flavors were too hot so they stuck with the original flavor.  The original flavor goes great with some vanilla ice cream.  My husband took a bag of the Jalepeno flavored ones and he liked it a lot.  So there are a bunch of different flavors to satisfy everyones taste buds.

 Here are some health benefits of them:

Pretzels Crisps® are a great alternative to potato chips and other snack foods. They contain 110 calories per serving and no fat (10-11 crisps) compared with 150 calories and 10 gram of fat (1 g saturated) per one ounce serving for potato chips.

For those with special medical needs like diabetes and/or high cholesterol, Pretzels Crisps® does not contain trans or saturated fats and have only 21-23 grams of carbohydrate per serving (1 ½ carbohydrate exchanges).

You can find Pretzel Crisps® in the deli section at most grocery stores.  You can even buy them online here. 

The nice people at Pretzel Crisps® have given me a very generous prize to give to one of my lucky readers.  Winner will get 10 bags of there own Pretzel Crisps® to try out for themselves. How exciting is that! 

If you are interested in winning this awesome prize please do so using the rafflecopter form.  All entries will be verified. 

Oral B/Crest Party from MommyParties

I was so excited when I got the email saying that I would be getting the Oral B/Crest party from MommyParties.  I knew this was going to be a great package for the party and I could not wait to get it and have the party.  When the box came, it was immediately opened.  Here is what I got in it.

Look at all the goodies!

I had my party today and it went great.  The kids had fun playing the Yucky Mouth vs Healthy Mouth

After we played that we started the movie Cars 2 for them while the pizza was cooking.  They had fun watching the movie. 

  After our pizza, I am not sure how but they still had room for the yummy popcorn that was provided too. 

I gave each child their goodie bag full of the goodies provided to us.  They were excited about the toothpaste and toothbrushes.

Cant forget how excited they were for the balloons too.

Thank you so much MommyParties for this wonderful party.  The kids enjoyed it.  I enjoyed it and I am sure my mom friends enjoyed it too.

Showing off the Cars shirts they wore to the party!

Hexbugs Habitat Set

I recently received the Hexbugs Habitat Set that glows in the dark for me and my kids to review.  I was excited to show my kids because I know that they love Hexbugs and would be happy to play with it.  The set came with the habitat and also included 2 Hexbugs to play with it.  I opened it up and started looking for the steps on how to put it together.  There was not any on paper, but they were on the back of the box.   My husband looked at it for a second and was able to put it together in less than a minute.  It is really easy to change it around to make different tracks for the bugs. 

 

After it was put together my kids could not wait to get to play with it. They had a blast playing with it.  They laughed and enjoyed watching the Hexbugs crawl all over the set.  After playing with it for a few minutes they wanted to see it glow in the dark and have fun playing with it that way. 

 

Here is what it looks like with lights off.  They played with this for about 30 minutes and would have been longer had dinner not been ready.  After dinner they asked to play with it again. And when they woke up they asked to play with it.  Ever since I recieved this they have been playing with it. I like that they get creative and the have the Hexbugs have races throughout the set and they see which bug makes it through all three stations.  They have played with it so much that one of the bugs batteries is dying so we are gonna have to take stock in some more.  My kids have asked for more Hexbugs so I know a good stocking stuffer for them. 

The Glow in the Dark Hexbug Nano Habitat Set  is approved for children ages 3 and up and is available at major retailers nationwide or online for $29.99  This would be a great Christmas for any child who loves the Hexbugs.

As moms, I think sometimes we tend to put our husbands on the back burner.  It is very easy to do so with all the diapers, dishes and laundry that we have to do throughout the day.  At the end of the day we are so tired that all we can think about is taking a shower if we have enough energy to do so and going to bed.  Last thing on our minds sometimes is being with our husbands.  But where does that leave them? I also think that as Christians, the subject of sex is so taboo.  No one wants to talk about it.  The bible has an amazing love story in it and the relations between husband and wife in the book of Song of Solomon.  I think it is important to stay connected to your spouse. 

Recently I became an ambassador for EdenFantasys.  It is an online store that sells adult toys for couples.  I know every person has there own likes and dislikes when it comes to using sex toys and while I personally do not use them, but I do love lingerie. EdenFantasys has a great selection in a wide range of sizes.  After having three children, my body does not look like it used to and I like that there are a lot of cute options for me and everything is reasonably priced.  As we know, men are visually stimulated so what better way to surprise your husband with some new sexy lingerie.  While you are at EdenFantasys, why not check out there selection of candles to make the enivironment more inviting to your spouse.   Whatever it is that you prefer, they most definately have it.

No Pressure, Santa

Recently my husband and I were teaching our children about having faith and believing in things.  We used the bible verse:  Matthew 17:20.    He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."  We were telling our boys that if they have faith and believe and something it could happen. 

My oldest son has been wanting a Nintendo DS for the longest time.  I'd say well over a year he has been asking.  We kept telling him that we did not have the money for one right now.  I even tried entering some sweepstakes to try to win one with no success.  Then the other day we were just talking and he told me that he was not going to worry about us having to buy him a DS anymore because he had faith and he believed that Santa would bring him one for Christmas.  If it were only that easy!  Now I am on a search for a DS that isnt full price because that would take up just about all our Christmas money and we have 3 kids to buy for.  No pressure, "Santa"

Torani Flavored Syrups review and GIVEAWAY

I was super excited when I was able to sign up to be a part of the SheSpeaks newest campaign featuring Torani Syrups. Even though I am not a coffee drinker, I knew these would be good for milkshakes, hot chocolates, and sodas. I received my package and was eager to open it up to see which flavors I got. I was given the sugar free Vanilla and the Pumpkin Pie flavors. They were very generous and gave us the big bottles to try. I was not planning on the package to arrive until tomorrow but I just happened to have a coke with me and I put a teaspoon of the Sugar Free Vanilla into my coke and tried it. So good. Now for the pumpkin pie flavor, I am not really into pumpkin so I will end up just gifting that to someone in my family.
