American Girl: The Care & Keeping of You 2 (Book Review)

February 12, 2013 by Danielle 4 Comments

The Care & Keeping of You – The Body Book for Girls was an extremely popular book for American Girl. This book gave tips on basic care and hygiene while helping to build their self esteem. I personally believe that it would be a great book to help with the conversations between mother and daughter. I think that it will be a great book to pull out many years down the line when I reach that point with my girls. 🙂

American Girl is about to release The Care & Keeping of You 2. (The Book for older girls).

This book definitely picks up where the previous book left off. It really focuses on the emotional and the physical changes that girls face from 10 and up. It helps them understand how they fit into the picture. It could also be a great resource [Read more…]

Citrus Lane Review

January 30, 2013 by Danielle 4 Comments

There are so many baby items out there, that I am constantly seeing something new. Who wouldn’t love a box of items coming to your door monthly that are age appropriate as well as a wide variety of items?

I was so happy to be able to review a Citrus Lane Box.

About Citrus Lane

Citrus Lane is a company that has boxes that range from birth to age 3. So, your 2-3 year old would not receive the same items that my 10 month old received.

My Thoughts

I couldn’t have been more impressed. How exciting to be able to get a box of goodies to share with your child.

The items I received:

Skip Hop Huge & Hide Stroller Toy – $10
Stack N’Steal – $8.99
Andy Warhol’s Colors Board Book – $6.99
CleanWell Disinfectant Spray – $4.50
Juice Beauty Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer (a gift for mom) – $12

I received over $40 worth of products, and depending on my subscription the most it would have cost me was $25. That is very impressive to me.

I loved the variety [Read more…]

SodaStream — Review

January 22, 2013 by Danielle 7 Comments

I have heard a lot of wonderful things about SodaStream, but I must admit that I was pretty skeptical about if it was going to work or not! Let me tell you, that it is above and beyond my wildest thoughts. It works absolutely wonderfully.

About SodaStream:

SodaStream is a Soda Maker for your house. It gives you the ability to take tap water, carbonate it, and then create the soft drink or sparkling flavored water that you crave in your own home. Not to mention that this is a great way for you to save money, as well as help protect the environment.

I received the Jet Home Soda Maker. Included with the soda maker was:

DSCF2422

1 CO2 Carbonater
1 Jet SodaStream Machine
Sodamix Taste Sampler

How Does It Work:

Fill the bottle with cold water to the fill line.
Screw the bottle into the SodaStream Machine.
Press the button on the top repeatedly until you hear 3 loud buzzes.
Then you can unscrew the bottle from the machine and add your flavoring.

My Thoughts:

I was completely impressed at how the taste was exactly the same as what I buy at the store or when we’re out and about. [Read more…]
