Reach and Rembrandt Giveaway !


With all the candy the kids are going to be eating in the next few weeks and even months with the holidays coming very soon . With my third kid about to get braces I have been to the dentist tons of times and I'm aware of the fact that different dental problems can actually lead to and be a sign of other medical problems you may not even know about.

Emerging research shows that individuals who have poor oral hygiene are more at risk for heart disease than those who brush twice daily (see recent article published in British Medical Journal: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/340/may27_1/c2451). Give yourself a bright, healthy smile this holiday season with products from REACH Total Care + Whitening and REMBRANDT!

I thought now would be a great time to have another giveaway...aimed towards taking care of your family's dental needs !

5 Lucky readers will each get a prize pack worth ~ $50~containing : 1 Reach by Design Toothbrush , 1 Total Care+Whitening Brush and Floss ,1 Rembrandt Intense Stain Toothpaste , 1 Two Hour Whitening Kit !

Give With Dannon to Help in the Fight Against Breast Cancer !

Although Breast Cancer Awareness month is coming to an end,you can still help by donating with Dannon . Under the lid of specially-marked Dannon products you will find a unique code. With each code entered at http://www.cupsofhope.com/ by November 30, 10 cents will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. ® (NBCF).

Listerine and Reach Oral Care

Having 6 kids and putting the 3rd in braces very soon...I'm very familiar with visits to the dentist and buying oral care products. Having this many kids also makes you familiar with how many products are out there and trying lots out to fit everyone's tastes and needs and even wants when it comes to styles and colors of products.

Halloween is only a few days away, and although kids think about what type of candy they'll get and fret over their costumes, Moms worry more about cavities. A night full of sugar and it's endless days of leftover candy may seem like harmless fun, but statistics show kids miss 51 million school hours each year (that's alot of hours)because of dental-related illness, and pediatric dental disease is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

To help with the candy frenzy this month, Listerine and Reach created "October Oral Care Challenge" for kids 6 and older to take with their parents—a great tip to get kids to imitate good oral hygiene routines. To complete the challenge, kids and Moms and Dads have to brush, floss and rinse every day, twice a day for three weeks—a key step in building a strong oral care foundation. We all hear about the importance of regular brushing and flossing for your oral care routine, but rinsing with a therapeutic mouthwash for 30 seconds twice daily, an additional but essential activity, helps reach those other parts of the mouth that harbor germs.

The makers of Listerine and Reach have also teamed up with America's Toothfairy to launch "Trick or Treat for America's Toothfairy," a campaign to raise awareness of pediatric dental disease and help provide life changing care to underserved children. You can visit America's Toothfairy to learn more. So if any of the kids that come to your door are collecting for this please try and donate ...it goes to a great cause !

Filtrete Water Pitcher Review


When I had the chance to try out the Filtrete Water Pitcher ,I said yes and hoped that I would be one of the people chosen to do so. I don't know what it is about the water in this house but it's awful ! We have a brand new fridge ..well it's almost a year old now ...but that's still pretty darn new....and we never ever drink the water out of it and I always find the ice doesn't taste right either. We even bought a new filter for it after a few months thinking maybe the one that came with it just didn't work...$50 later and we still didn't like the water!
When I moved in we had a baby still drinking formula and now we have a new baby and we have been using bottled water to make the bottles.......that's alot of bottles of water every month ! Then add to it everyone else and the water they drink....YIKES!
I have only been using the Filtrete Water Pitcher from 3M for a few days,but I'm happy so far with the fact I can actually drink the water from my tap and from my fridge now if it's in this jug. I have a french door fridge and the pitcher fits in the door shelf no problem leaving room still on the normal shelves to use...which I really like I had a different water pitcher thing before and it wouldn't fit on the door so it always took up space in the fridge. This one is shaped so it will fit in most door shelves.
If you are finding your water just doesn't taste right or if you just are in the habit of buying bottled water I would say give the Filtrete Water Pitcher from 3M a try,you might just be pleasantly surprised at how your water taste ! Filtering five times faster than traditional pitcher filters, the Filtrete Water Pitcher offers better tasting water in a matter of seconds. Also, the filter lasts longer, filtering two and half times more water than traditional pitcher filters and lasts about three months.
In addition, Filtrete created Clear Advantages to help busy moms like me. You can register to receive seasonal e-newsletters featuring money-saving offers, filter change reminders, better home living tips and more by signing up on the Filtrete Water Filtration Products website. You can also follow Filtrete Water Filtration Products on Twitter (@FiltreteWater) or like the brand on Facebook for healthier living tips.
If you would like to try a Filtrete Water Pitcher here is a $10 off coupon for you to use !

Infantino Helps With Feeding Your Little Ones !

Infantino along with Annabel Karmel have a whole set of great products to help you in making,storing and feeding your little ones ! They come in great colors and a nice selection of different accessories to pick from.

I really liked these Stackable Food Pots they are perfect for storing fresh baby food. The pots clip together for easy storage and they are see through so you can tell what food is inside. They are also the perfect size for just grabbing one to feed your little one ..not too big ..not too small. They are also freezer and microwave safe so that makes them so easy to use anywhere.

I also found the Fresh Food Mill to be wonderful and it's dishwasher safe ...so it's easy to clean !
They also have a Mash and Serve bowl set that is perfect for mashing up bigger foods ,I always used a fork and it works ok but the masher that comes with this bowl fits in the bowl perfectly and does bigger portions at a time then using a fork so it gets the job done faster .

Really I liked all the products that I tried out and here's the list of them all so you can check them out too !

Stackable Food Pots

Double Decker Meal Box

Fill & Freeze Puree Pops

Freeze Tray

Fresh Food Mill

Mash & Serve Bowl

Perricone Product Review & Giveaway !


I recently received the Cold Plasma cream to try out and I like it. It came in a frosted glass jar and was nicely secured in it's box .I like when things are packed well if they tend to be a little heavy. There is nothing worse then getting something and going to pick it up and it coming through the top or bottom of the box and then breaking! So I was happy to see they thought to keep it in the box securely. I like the feel of it,it's smooth and creamy and doesn't feel greasy to your fingers or on your face. I also really liked it didn't have an awful scent to it like some creams you get do.

I Could Be Daddy If.....

watching for daddy

chomping on the fingers cause I'm getting 2 new teeth

you dressed me in ugly boy clothes from the seventies...because the hair is EXACTLY the same !
Why my mil would have let her little boy have long shaggy hair like a girl who knows...maybe it was she was thinking he was in style back then or because she was young and never thought about getting the kid a hair cut until he couldn't see through it to walk/eat...who knows !
I'm very glad though he now always wears it in a military cut....cause I do not like shaggy hair on men !
