Emma the Elephant

Emma the Elephant by BabyFirstTV is soft and hug-able 10 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches. She is hand washable and softer than you can imagine. She is able to stand unassisted but is still soft enough for your little one to snuggle up with at nap time. This is the cutest chubby little elephant and my daughter LOVES her! She is very soft and cuddly. Just absolutely adorable in pretty much every way! It makes a fantastic baby gift or birthday gift to any child of any age.  My 13 year old even thinks Emma is adorable and at under $20 she is definitely a bargain.

Holy Stone Cartoon Engineering Vehicle Radio Controlled Review

This Radio Controlled Cement Mixer by Holy Stone is so cute and fun I just couldn't put it down.  The truck requires 3 AA batteries (not included) and the remote requires 2 AA batteries (not included).  I really hate batteries but I keep a large supply of rechargeable batteries on hand so it makes things a little more tolerable.  Other than installing the batteries there is no assembly required except putting the little guy in the driver seat.

It goes so much faster than you would expect for a toddler toy and yet is so easy to operate.  It goes forward and reverse, it has noises and lights up.  The remote is simple and easy for toddler fingers to operate with 2 large buttons.  It has a small loop on the rear where other cars can be attached and pulled by the truck and believe me that it is powerful enough to pull the cars.  This toy is definitely great for both little boys and little girl, my 1 year old daughter and I both love it!

Harry the Hippo

Harry the Hippo arrived at our door this afternoon and he was so cute that I installed him right away and sat down to write this.  He fit perfectly on my facet and looks so cute when the water is on.  He is made of silicone and is a cute way to protect your little one from bumping their head on the metal facet.  He takes only seconds to install and requires no tools at all.  I think he would make a wonderful baby gift as well as a birthday gift, my princess will turn 1 tomorrow. :)

ReflectXL by Mirror On A Rope

The ReflectXL by Mirror On A Rope is a wonderful shower mirror!  It is available is four colors, Wet Steel, Red, Green, & Blue.   It is available on Amazon for about $16.00 and ships free with Amazon Prime.  

When you open the package you find a very nice sized mirror, that measures 7 5/8" x 5 5/8", wrapped in protective plastic.  I unwrapped the mirror and found the supplies to use with the mirror.  It comes with an adjustable cord to hang it and a hook.  The cord is extremely long so you can cut it to fit your needs and the hook is unfortunately useless.  The hook is a good size but the backing where the adhesive is located is too small to adhere properly.  Its a small unimportant detail and I just used a large suction cup to hang this wonderful mirror. To "activate" the fog-less mirror I just ran it under a warm shower for less than a minute and it worked like a charm.  This is an exceptional product that both my husband and I enjoy greatly.  I received this product complementary for testing and honest review purposes.  My reviews are never bought and always reflect my true opinion on the product.

Dry-Ice Whiskey Combo Set

The Dry-Ice Whiskey Combo set functions much like the old rubber cubes filled with toxic water that you put in the freezer but they do it in a MUCH better way. In this kit you will receive 4 soapstone cubes, 4 stainless steel cubes, a tray with a lid, and a small set of tongs. To use rinse the cubes very well then just pop the tray with the cubes inside in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Remove the tray and using your tongs place at least 2 - 4 cubes in your glass. Pour your favorite beverage over the cubes. I suggest putting the cubes in first to prevent splashing your drink and making a mess. You will now have a nice cold drink but not a watered down drink! You will have much happier guests and and much tastier drink.

I am not sure this needs to be said but YOU NEVER KNOW. WARNING Do not eat or chew on your cubes! Your teeth will break before your cubes do.

Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth Speaker by Tekubox GIVEAWAY

The Tekubox Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is made of silicone and is easy to pair and doesn't take long to charge from totally dead.  It has a power button, skip forward, and go back buttons, as well as phone button and mic, so you can take calls in the shower.  

The volume controls on the speaker are located on the skip forward and go back buttons.  Just hold down the button to raise or lower your volume.  I really like this idea because it keeps the speaker from looking cluttered by buttons. 

It has a large suction cup on the back to ensure a secure attachment to the wall.  If you have natural stone shower walls this suction cup is likely not going to work for you, it works best on ceramic tiles.

Protect your family car from your family...

You have to protect your investment.  There is no rule that says you can't have nice things just because you have children.  I have 2 sets of these in my car.  I have one set on the back of the front seats where my older daughter likes to put her feet and one set on the back seat to protect the car seats from my rear facing baby.  We practice extended rear facing so my baby will be 3 years old before she faces forward and I know in that time she will put her feet on the seat so this way she won't make a mess.  They are very easy to clean with either a baby wipe or a damp cloth.  They are easy to install with two straps that wrap around the front seats and also easy to remove and fold up just in case you happen to have an adult in the backseat.  I would say the ONLY thing they are missing is a pouch to keep them in when you are not using them.

Adeline Beauty Line Review

All of the Adeline Beauty products I tried are spa quality without spa prices.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum contains Retinol, a blend of Vitamin A for elasticity, collagen formation, and sun damage repair; Vitamin C for improved moisture, elasticity, and tone; Vitamin D to moisturize skin and promote healing; Vitamin E for anti-oxidant protection and non-greasy moisture.  It is gentle on skin and did not sting or burn when I applied it, unlike many others I have tried. I did not noticed any skin irritation even though I have sensitive skin.
 

Adeline's Anti-Aging Face Cream is formulated with 5 powerful ingredients that fight wrinkles and rejuvenate your skin: Matrixyl, Witch Hazel, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C & Vitamin E. The results on your skin are fantastic! 

The Adeline Organic Eye Serum is lovely. After about a month of use you can actually see those tiny lines around your eyes disappear. I have less of a tired look around my eyes even though between my 11 month old and building a blogging empire I rarely get enough sleep.

Too tired from building my blogger empire. How about you?

Leaving makeup on over night adds a day of age to your face so I use these as my go to quick makeup remover!  I keep the Olay Total Effect Wet Cleansing wipes in my night stand for those nights when I am way to tired to get up and wash off my makeup.  Any mom can relate that after chasing toddlers around the house, cooking dinner, laundry, and building my blogging empire can really take it out of me.  SO why age your face early when you can just wipe the day off of your face and slip into that much needed 6 hour comma.

The Quick Stitch Portable Sewing Kit by Quick Stitch has a great compact design to keep all your emergency and quick fix sewing tools together in an easy to store and use zippered case.

Hello Kitty Face Soft Pillowcase

I ordered this Hello Kitty pillowcase for my 10 month old daughter because she LOVES Hello Kitty! And now she LOVES this pillow! This is an extremely soft pillowcase that feels more like a stuffed animal than a pillowcase. It has a zipper closer which I love and is the perfect addition to any little girl's room.

I would not recommend placing this or any pillow in a crib for safety reasons but it is puuuurfect for playtime.
