Green Smoke Electronic Cigarette Review

Grammy2Kaiden is for all ages. Unfortunately I do not feel that an e-cigarette is appropriate for those under the age of 18. However, I know that some of my readers are smokers. If you are over 18 and would like to read the review for Green Smoke Electronic Cigarettes, please click HERE.

Ingenuity Washable Playard with Dream Centre Review

Disclaimer: I received the product described at no cost in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own and have not been influenced in any way. 


As a mom, I am always looking for ways to simplify my life. I live in a small home with very limited storage and two small children. The new Ingenuity Washable Playard with Dream Centre has been a dream come true.

From: Ingenuity.com
As you can see from the photo above, it is pretty darn cute. It appears to have everything a mom or baby could need from a playard. Believe me, it does, and a little more too.


 It was quick and easy to set up. I thought I would get a little frustrated with some of the accessories, but in just a few minutes time, I had the entire Ingenuity Washable Playard with Dream Centre set up. Even with the kids around. I am sure I would have remembered to add the bar with the animals for the photo above if I was not chasing or comforting someone in the middle of the set up.

The Ingenuity Washable Playard with Dream Centre has a snap on diaper changing station that is ideal for a small infant. Along with the diaper changing station for your infant, there is a raised bottom function to allow for less bending with a small infant. Dreamy for us older moms!! Don't worry though, the next time you blink and your child doubles in size, the playard quickly adapts to your needs.

The best part, the entire cover unzips for washing. No more worrying about the little messes that end up on the fabric. Just unzip, wash, and recover.  It is very clear that the Ingenuity Washable Playard with Dream Centre was designed with moms in mind.

Febreze #Noseblind Review and Giveaway

This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Febreze. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

There is nothing more uncomfortable than having someone drop by at the last moment and having a dirty home. Well, maybe knowing the guests were coming over and having a smelly home.

I recently invited two friends over for a Febreze Noseblind movie night.. With the help of some buttery popcorn we set off to take the challenge.

First off, you cannot mistake the smell of microwave popcorn. It is so overwhelming, that it almost makes your nose burn. After watching a great movie with even greater friends, we set off on the next step.

What do we smell now? Well considering there was a popcorn bowl in front of one of us, we all smelled different things. I smelled my old stinky dog in my lap, one of my friends smelled the old popcorn sitting next to her, the best answer of all, "I smell sweaty bodies." That is what you call a "good friend."


When we were all done with discussing our olfactory system, (that is just a fancy way to say our sense of smell) we  tested out the Febreze Air Effects Meadow and Rain.



Now first off, you should know that I am a little bit of a scent-aholic. I love the smell of freshly washed clothes and a clean house. I don't want to smell cleaners, I want things to smell fresh. Febreze managed to not only hide the scent of stale buttered popcorn, it was gone. Even with the bowl still in front of us. Now don't get me wrong, if I put the bowl under my nose and sniffed, I could smell the popcorn, but the room no longer smelled like a recently abandoned movie theater.

Healing Tree Bamboo Charcoal Soap Review

Do you ever feel like you have crawled out of the shower just as dirty as you were when you climbed in?   Healing Tree Bamboo Charcoal, found on Amazon, is a unique new way to cleanse your skin all the way into your pores. 
After just one use, my skin felt clean. There was no sticky or slimy soap residue on my skin. My skin was shiny and almost squeaky.  I know that sounds a bit strange, but my skin was not dry, just super clean feeling. The soap is unscented but still has a light soap scent. No perfumes are added so it is gentle on all skin.

"Healing Tree Bamboo Charcoal Soap is high in absorbency so it draws dirt from deep inside the pores. Unlike normal soaps that only clean the surface of your skin, this soap can free up a lot of dirt that clogs deep beneath your skin especially if you have acne, eczema, psoriasis, and dry/cracked skin. Bamboo charcoal undergoes a firing process of 1,800 F to create high absorbency properties making it 4x more absorbent than wood charcoal. As a result, it cleanses your skin by removing years of accumulated dead skin cells."


Bamboo Charcoal Soap Benefits:
Remove Dead Skin Cells
Unclogs Pores
Smoother Skin
Natural Ingredients
Hypoallergenic
Detoxifying
Frangrance Free

Silicone Cupcake Baking Molds Review #californiakitchenware




When it comes to baking in my home there is always something missing. Whether that missing item is flour or cupcake liners, I promise I will have to make a run to the store to pick something up. I recently had the opportunity to test out Silicone cupcake molds from California Kitchen.






Not only did the silicone cupcake molds save me from having to run to the store, but they put a BIG smile on my kids faces.

The cupcake liners are easy to use and just as easy to clean! The bright colors are appealing to all ages and brighten up a table for guests.

My kids thought that the liners were fun to run around the house with, but they were both willing to give them up so I could start the next batch of cupcakes. I did find that if you are making cupcakes from a box, it would be better to buy two sets. 12 liners is not quite enough for a boxed cake mix. They are well worth the cost and would make a great gift for any baker you may know.

Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment


 
















Living in the Northwest, I am always looking for a way to treat and condition my leather items. Chamberlain's Leather Milk offered me the opportunity to test their product and provide my honest feedback.

Product Decription provided by Chamberlain's Leather Milk:
"Leather Care Liniment No. 1 is a milky, water-based natural leather care recipe containing some remarkable leather enriching ingredients. This product contains oils that can be described as ‘lighter’ rather than ‘heavier’ oil types; and, because the product is water-based, it also works as a mild cleaner.  In practical terms what this means is that for leather items that benefit from being ‘refreshed’ frequently, without having to worry about overloading your leather with oils and conditioners…Leather Care Liniment is the perfect solution!  For instance, leather coats, bags, auto interiors, and furniture…these are the kinds of things that are exposed to public scrutiny and human touch on a regular basis.  You can use Leather Care Liniment often, for a quick, effective, cleaning and revitalizing result.

Just as milk is a primary nutrient for so much of animal and human life, so Chamberlain’s Leather Milk is for all things leather.  Those who buy our products tend to be people who own quality leather items (leather furniture, luxurious auto interiors, leather briefcases, purses, and luggage); and, they tend to be people who know how to take care of their good stuff.  This is how it is with quality leather goods: the leather needs to be cared for in a particular way and in regular fashion for it to look its best and last for years to come.  Chamberlain’s Leather Milk was created for just this purpose!  Made from natural, leather-nutrient-rich ingredients; concocted from natural oils and conditioners, plus a few highly classified mystical properties…Chamberlain’s Leather Milk will feed, strengthen, and beautify your leather goods.  Try it on your leather coat and matching gloves, or your motorcycle gear…we even have something for your hunting boots!"

Alphabet Jumbled for Your iPad

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

In my home, learning letters is a difficult task. With a learning disabled child, I am always looking for a new, creative, and of course fun way to learn. When given the opportunity to try Alphabet Jumbled for my iPad I was ready to jump on the opportunity.

About Alphabet Jumbled:

Alphabet Jumbled provides 5 fun steps to help young children learn their ABC’s





KNOW YOUR ABC’s - Recognize the 26 letters
FLASH CARDS – Learn the different letters in the alphabet with electronic flash cards
EASY JUMBLE - Start un-jumbling 5 letters jumbles
JUMBLE CHALLENGE - Can you un-jumble all the letters under a minute?
JUMBLE A-Z - Arrange the letters of the alphabet in the correct order in the shortest time possible
This is a great new way to teach your children their ABC’s

My thoughts:

This is a fun new app that will keep your child learning while having fun. I had a difficult time getting my child to use the app unless I was sitting right next to him while he was “playing.” That is not anything new in my home though.  
It is always worth my time to know that I am helping my child learn just by sitting next to them playing a fun and engaging app.
Know that there are distractions in the game. The fish that jump around will cause your child to focus on them. I actually found that this was helpful in teaching my child to ignore distractions. After several attempts and redirection, he was able to continue playing without focusing on the fish.
