Save the Sleeve! Boogie Wipes Review & Giveaway!

One thing I cannot stand during cold and flu season? The dreaded runny (or even worst, crusted up) noses. I mean, when a little ones nose is running or dried up, it can be miserable trying to keep it wiped up!  That was the thought of Boogie moms Mindee Doney & Julie Pickens! They were so tired of having to chase down kids to get their noses wiped up, that they thought "What can we do to fix this?"  The answer was Boogie Wipes!  They are wipes containing saline, which breaks down the mucus and leaves the nose clean and without irritation.   These moms took it from home to a booming business! Boogie Wipes are sold in stores across America! They come in great packs perfect for the diaper bag or home, as well as on the go packs, small enough to throw a few in your purse or even a pocket! Truly on the go convenience!

Saline works because when crusty boogies are on your little one's nose, saline is the only great defense!  Saline breaks down mucus quickly, and that is why saline is used in nasal spray.  But of course, nasal spray and little ones? Hahaha! Don't think so!  If any of you have a kid that takes nasal spray with out complaining,please let me know! Mine are like terrified of the stuff!! Boogie wipes help to break down the icky stuff, and keep the nose clean and non irritated. That is the biggest problem I have with kleenex and even baby wipes. It irritates the nose with the constant wiping of the nose. With boogie wipes,I have used them for the entire duration of my little one's cold and her nose never got red and painful. I have even used these wipes when I have been sick to prevent my own nose from being irritated! Every time I get a real bad cold, my nose will end up peeling and in pain from the constant blowing and wiping.  So these wipes really work and are a great thing to have wherever you go!

Earlier I mentioned I had used Boogie Wipes on my own nose. Other moms must have too, because the creators of Boogie Wipes have created Achooz, a saline wipe for adults!

When colds and allergies set in, all the blowing and wiping with regular tissues can leave your nose feeling sore, red and raw. Now, you can make your nose happy with Achooz Saline Nose Wipes, the next generation in tissue.™

The Boogie Mom's team of doctors and chemists (and the stuffy noses of the Boogie Moms), created their unique non-medicated formula to break down mucus and soothe the nose while wiping. It includes the same gentle, patent-pending magic of saline, vitamin E and aloe as the Boogie Wipe products and is available in Fragrance Free for everyday use and Cool Menthol for extra stuffy noses.

Boogie Wipes has a current campaign to Save the Sleeve! No more kids wiping their noses on their shirt or jacket sleeves! Go to SavetheSleeve.com and make the pledge with your child to save their sleeve! They learn some gross facts about boogies, take the pledge, and get a special prize!! A great way to get our kids to "Save the Sleeve"!!  While you are there, click on the page to meet Boogs!  He is the cute Boogie Buddy from Boogie Wipes!!  Right now, you can get your little one a cute and cuddly Boogs the Boogie Buddy! You can get him by simply visiting their website, printing out the form, attaching 3 UPC's and mailing it in!

Boogie Wipes has offered to sponsor a giveaway on my blog!  One of you lucky readers will win (2) packs of 30-count wipes (fresh, grape, menthol, or unscented– combination varies)!!!  Here is how to win!:

"Diamond Stud Earrings" Review

Being a busy mom of 3 little ones, I don't always have time to accessorize. And when I am always on the go and have grabby little fingers who like mommies pretties, it isn't always the best idea to buy really expensive jewelery. But diamonds are a girls best friend! So what's a frugal gal to do? Head over to Diamondearrings.org!  They have beautiful diamond stud earrings!

Now of course they aren't real diamonds. But they look pretty nice!  The earrings came in a cute little black semi heart shaped box! They are nice and big so they look special and flashy but they are cheap! Of course, you get what you pay for. One day about a week after getting the earrings, one of the gems fell out. But I popped it right back in and since then they have been fine. They haven't irritated my ears, and they haven't rusted out like some cheapy earrings do.  Overall, this is a pretty good deal! At least if you lose one, you aren't losing an expensive diamond!!

Right now, you can get your own free pair of these earrings! Click here to find out how!!

I was given a free pair of earrings to review on my blog. I was not obligated to write a positive review. Photos from diamondearrings.org

PediaCare Children's Products Review & Giveaway!

Tis the season...for cold and flu!!  As much as I hate to say it, a new school year means lots of new germs and illnesses flating around!  And that means you need to help them get better so they don't miss too much school!! I recently got the offer to try PediaCare products for Children. It couldn't have come at a better time. My oldest literally got a cold the day the products arrived!  I used the PediaCare Children's Fever Reducer Plus Multi-Symptom cold for ages 4-11.  Her fever went down and stayed down, although her cold did turn into bronchitis later on.  The doctor said this was because of a virus she got from someone, and that the cold medicine couldn't have helped to prevent it.  

PediaCare offers many products for kids. 

The complete line of PediaCare products includes:

Introducing an expanded line of safe and effective medicines from the trusted brand for children, PediaCare® – with and without acetaminophen -- for children and infants -- that addresses most sick-child situations: cough, cold, allergy, flu, congestion, fever and pain. Product offerings, in kid-pleasing flavors, match the formulations of other recalled brands and are arriving in stores just in time for the cold/flu season. In particular, PediaCare Infant and Children’s fever and pain reducers are a great solution for moms wanting a branded acetaminophen alternative. 

Need help to determine which medicine is best for your child based on his/her symptoms? Download PediaCare’s free iPhone app, then check off your child’s symptoms and PediaCare will help you determine which product is best for your child based on the symptoms they need relief of.  PediaCare is putting the key to your child’s comfort at the tip of your fingers.

Shop CSN Stores for Kitchen Furniture!

What do you do when you need extra space, or a place for someone to sit? The best solution is a Drop Leaf Table. CSN Stores has a selection of tables that are both beautiful and take up as much or as little space as you have available.  CSN Stores is an online site where I have found all sorts of great things!! 
I just got done doing a review on a great pair of Adi Designs Women's Microsuede Mid Calf Boot in Black.from the CSN Stores, and they asked me to become a preferred blogger! So I will be featuring more great CSN Products on my blog!!  I was totally thrilled for the opportunity, to say the very least!!

I love CSN Stores because they have something for every room in the house! My dining room table is getting a little shabby, so I could totally use a Drop Leaf Dining Table. They are well crafted, and with the holidays coming up, it is always wonderful to have extra places for people to sit!!  There are all sorts of tables in different sizes, wood finishes and shapes! No matter what your size or budget is, you can find a great table!

But CSN has so much more to offer! With over 200 stores, you can get something for every room of the house, everyone on your Christmas list, even something for your pets! And their shopping process is so quick and easy! But better than that, the shipping is super fast! I was uber impressed with the quick arrival of my boots! Shopping with CSN is a great way to get what you need all in one place!

I was compensated with a gift certificate for this and the upcoming review from CSN Stores. This has in no way impacted my opinions or review of CSN Stores.

CSN Stores: Women's Fall Shoe Review!

You may have read my previous post about the excellent selection of products from CSN Stores! There are over 200 stores full of products for everyone! No matter the budget or the person you are shopping for, you will be able to find something great!  I could literally spend hours on CSN just browsing all the great stuff!  Could make it difficult to accomplish much else for the day!!

I recently purchased a great pair of Adi Designs Women's Microsuede Mid Calf Boot in Black.  These boots look so amazing with a pair of skinny jeans! And with the chilly fall weather, they are the perfect footwear for the season! The boots are also available in brown, camel and grey, so you can buy one for each outfit!  At $35 a pair, you can't go wrong! That beats the price of more expensive boots that look the same!

The boots are super comfortable and very warm! The insides are super fuzzy and so cozy!  There are lots of ways to mix them up too! You can wear them like me, with your favorite pair of skinny jeans! Or pair them with a cute dress or leggings!  No matter how you wear them, they are sure to be cute! And very popular too! I have gotten lots of compliments on the boots!

What I was really impressed with was the rapid delivery of the boots! I placed my order on Thursday and by Monday they were on my doorstep! I am sure if I had placed the order a day or two before it would have been even quicker! I was so happy to get them so quickly and of course I put them on right away! I was glad to see the boots fit well. I get nervous buying things online sometimes, because it is hard to know how it will fit, and I hate having to wait for your product to come back because the one you got didn't fit well.  These come in whole sizes only, so that can also be a bit tricky.  But luckily with socks the size 9 fit just right. I am usually a size 8 1/2, so I didn't dare go a size smaller. And I would most definitely say wear socks with these things. Nobody wants stinky shoes! These things are like an oven, they keep your feet nice and toasty!

I would also recommend getting a can of water resistant spray for the shoes, to help keep them clean and protected. I had a pair of similar boots of another brand last year, and they did get worn out and were no longer wearable. This time I want to take care of the boots so they last long!

You can purchase your own boots here!  Check out CSN Stores for women's shoes and thousands of other great products!

There are so many great toys for babies this days, and some of them are the perfect place for your baby to sit while you are busy around the house! Bright Starts has a large selection of playards, bouncers, activity centers, plus so much more! I recently got to try the Bounce Bounce Baby Activity Center!:

Product Description:
The award winning Bounce Bounce Baby™ is fully loaded with toys, lights, and melodies, this compact activity zone has all of the features necessary to keep baby entertained! The bounce pad allows baby to bounce and dance, and the seat rotates 360 degrees for full access to toys.

I liked that you could add extra toys. My daughter mother in law had this silly little tiny circle funny thing that my baby just chews the heck out of.  I don't know why she loves it so much,but she does. Luckily it attaches easily to link a doos and so it clips right on the activity center! My other favorite feature? I love that it was soooo easy to put together! With my hubby away for work, I have had to become more handy than usual! I was able to put this together easily and on my own!! Girl power!!!

Stories have the magical gift of calming children, taking their attention away from the everyday and immersing them in a world outside their own. Tales2Go takes that magic and makes it easily accessible. Kids arguing in the backseat during errands? Turn on a Geronimo Stilton story, and they're suddenly on an adventure helping their favorite fraidy-mouse solve a mystery. Is the wait for a table at a restaurant becoming much too long for your little one's patience? Pull up Sylvester and the Magic Pebble and those last few minutes of waiting will fly by. Is there any wonder that this app has won awards from CNet and Parents' Choice and been featured on the Today Show?
