DACRON Memorelle Pillows Review and Giveaway
April 26, 2012 by 64 Comments
How long has it been since you upgraded your pillows?
When they do a good job, you don’t think about them one bit, but when they don’t that is another story completely. I am sure a lot of you have seen memory foam pillows and mattresses and thought they are top of the line. One of the chief problems with memory foam bedding is they are solid bricks of memory foam, you can’t really fold a memory foam pillow in half and prop yourself up when you are sick. And for me- they are too hard. Another issue is they absorb heat quickly, if you are a warm/hot sleeper, these beddings will get uncomfortable quickly. The ideal material would be something in between a regular cotton pillow that is malleable but also give and supports like memory foam.
Dacron has come up with just such a fiberfill with their newest Memorelle pillows. [Read more…]
Mohawk Rug Review and Giveaway
April 22, 2012 by 43 Comments
Guess who finally has their basement back in some form of usage? We do! Any of you who have been reading Have Sippy for any length of time know that we were severely flooded in Hurricane Irene, and only 2 months ago did we get any insurance money at all. We did all the tear down ourselves. Now it is finally time for our house to stop looking like a hot mess and be a home again.
In this arduous process, we had to ask ourselves some difficult questions. Most of which involved, “What do we do with the basement now?” It had been the largest part of the house- playroom, office, bathroom, laundry room, and my closet (since I don’t have one in the bedroom). It was a major loss.
We could either make believe this whole hurricane and massive amount of flooding didn’t happen, or we could try again, this time smarter and with the experience of a horrific flood to teach us what to to. Yes it was a fluke- so they say- but still- that was something I never want to deal with again.
The hot water heater is now piped in such a way that it is a bit easier to remove in a pinch, toys will be kept in big [Read more…]

Win Dustin Maher’s book, Fit Moms For Life
April 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Review from Pam at Just Like June– Giveaway hosted by Collective Media Magic bloggers.
Over the years I have not been diligent about staying in shape. I go through spurts when I am extremely active and spurts where I’m not so active. Bryan and I go for a two mile walk several times a week, but I can tell I am not in tip toe shape. The last time our family went mountain climbing, Bryan strode ahead of us, while the kids and I panted behind, plotting ways to push him off the top of the mountain. I knew I needed to change my lifestyle and was intrigued when I found Dustin Maher’s book, Fit Moms For Life. With a motto like “How to Outplay your kids and Have endless energy,” I knew it I had to read this one. Dustin works exclusively with moms, not super skinny models or movie stars who can afford a personal trainer and a nanny, another reason I wanted to try this program.
By ordering the book from his website, four free gifts are included:
- A secret report showing you 108 ways to make this your healthiest and fittest year ever.
- A video showing you my “secret” exercise to shrink your waist 2 inches in 2 weeks.
- A short workout video that targets your butt and thighs.
- A five part Flat Stomach audio coaching series featuring experts as well as Justin’s mom.

Zombie Zoo Review and Giveaway
April 17, 2012 by 31 Comments
Zombies are the new vampires! They are everywhere, even in Little Man’s preschool. Why just the other day the kids were playing ‘zombie’ where one of them lays down then gets up and chases the other kids around making odd noises. Not sure how this game is won, but if its anything like a zombie movie, there aren’t any winners.
If your kids are obsessed with zombies and all things gory, but you know the horror movies and horror memorabilia is a bit much for them right now, give Zombie Zoo a shot. This line of toys follows the adventures of five zombie animals. Boo the cat, Muck the monkey, Rob the rabbit, Stitch the pig and
Toxic the snake. Each critter has its own personality and quirkiness to it.
Rob is the leader and is a great listener, he has the best ideas and is always helping the other animals whenever he can. Muck is a playful monkey who loves eating snacks and partying. Not what you would expect from a bunch of stitched up, reanimated critters. The [Read more…]
