Disney Giveaway featuring Tiffany Giardina

March 7, 2009 By 115 Comments

Win Disney style. . You can win a Disney prize pack inspired by Tiffany Giardina. Do you know who she is? She is a newer artist that Disney is promoting. Listen and watch her music video here. No one knows how to put a prize pack together like Disney right. I know it includes a stage banner.

She seems to be just like any other teenager. Happy, and funky and singing her heart out. She doesn’t dress older than she is and she’s got a great voice. I love to let my kids listen to clean music and we don’t’ watch a lot of tv. We did watch the Disney channel when we had cable so we would hear different songs in between shows and they would be just like this artist.

Her CD is available at Amazon

To Enter the Giveaway:

Visit Radio Disney and request Tiffany’s “No Average Angel”

Extra Entries:

You can enter as many times as you request it.

I’ll give one extra entry to my subscribers contest ends March 28.

Fitness Friday WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

March 6, 2009 By 4 Comments

I’m so sorry ladies I have bad news to report.

I am not fit I have failed for two weeks in a row. I think I put on a little, All I want to eat is junk, and I’m hungry all the time and if I’m not eating I’m nauseous. Yes it sounds like I’m pregnant, but I’m NOT, can’t be, I had to go back on a medicine for my arthritis and it’s making my pain better but the side effects are making me eat or feel terrible. At least I can move and get out of bed every day.

Sorry, I wish I had better things to report. I think the wii fit moms are giving away prizes.

Ecostore Giveaway – living chemical free

March 5, 2009 By 241 Comments

The Ecostore is big on “no nasty chemiclas“. They are determined to help moms like me raise chemical free children. So The Ecostore has released a full line of products to use safely around your children.
I was offered my choice of products to test. My husband isn’t currently in the mood to test any more cleaning products, the last one I tried was so strong the house smelled for two days. It was awful, I think it made my baby Miles grumpy for a while longer than that. But we probably would have been delightfully surprised because:
I have been reading different reviews around the blogashpere before my products came. My friend Courtney at MomGiveaways recently tested out some products. Her review was very interesting. She tested out laundry and cleaning products. She said they were great. It was a nice citrus smell that was not over powering.
I chose a product that would spoil me. It was all about me this time. I selected shampoo and conditioner and a baby wash. So I did get something for the kids. I’m a mom first and always. Anyways, I love getting the salon products from Aveda because they smell so much like natural seasonings. Ecostore has shampoo and conditioner that have wonderful fragrances. Vanilla, Rosemary orange, and Aloe Vera. Yuuummmmm.
I received the Rosemary orange and I love it. It is salon quality in my opinion, a little goes a long way. I was surprised by how thin the conditioner was. I had no confidence that I was going to be able to brush my hair out. I get serious tangles. SURPRISE, this thin conditioner left my hair soft and brushable and bouncy. There was no extra weight. I honestly couldn’t believe my hair. Oh, and the baby wash didn’t burn their eyes. We used Huggies shampoo and it burned my daughter’s eyes. Ecostore baby wash does not!!!
The Ecostore has just released products to retail. You can now find Ecosotore products at Meijer. You can see Lyne here. She has a very large affection towards mommy bloggers. I have enjoyed working with her and Rand. Lyne is also looking into donating to Bloggers Give. Which I have just been put in charge of. I’m exhausted just thinking of all the work I need to do.
Win some Ecostore Products.
I want to treat a mom with some products and the Ecostore has said yes.
You may pick out one shampoo, one conditioner, and one bar of soap.

Kings and Queens of ENTRECARD

March 3, 2009 By 7 Comments

Have you ever wondered how you become one of the top EC cards in your category?

I’ve been trying to figure it out…

So Let’s look at some graphics:

I have been dropping very irregularlyYou can see that in the middle of the month there were four days that I dropped 300 cards. After dropping 300 cards a day for four days
I have had regular drops. I am averaging about 100 drops a day. Which isn’t too bad, it is keeping me withing the first three pages of my category. I’m trying to get on the front page. I was there about the middle of the month, but I’m down again. I’m back to the third page. So, I’m going to try and drop cards again, it just takes so much time.

Advertising does help, but you need to know that for advertising to make a difference you need to be advertising on the Kings and Queens. The Aces of each category!! If you advertise on one of those you’ll have drops.

I think the average person will drop and go until they come across a duplicate.

What do you think?

Bella Sara is capturing little girls hearts

March 3, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Thanks to Team Mom I was able to sample Bella Sara

I was told I was going to get to review Bella Sara. I thought to myself, ok, ahhhhh, what is it? Boy am i out of the loop. I don’t have an older girl yet, my little one is just a bit to young to be on the interactive computer.

Bella Sara is a lot of things. :

Welcome to the World of Bella Sara, a magical place full of beauty and joy where you may activate your Bella Sara trading cards and collect horses in an online stable. A safe world of fun and adventure lies just beyond the stable gate, with games, puzzles, and activities for you to enjoy with your favorite horses.

I logged on and if I was five to 13 I would think this was THE BEST. The website is purple and that’s my daughter’s favorite color. You can create a log in and start playing a game. I created an account, if you are under a certain age it asks for you parents e-mail. I entered the same e-mail address three times. I started playing the game.

You can choose a horse and take care of it. Wow, they have nice stalls. I know, it’s a magical game for children but I need some digs like this.!!

My daughter can and does enjoy the cards. We also received some playing cards. Oh she loves cards. We look at cards and name everything in them. She especially loves the cards because of the purple color and she can say “neighhhh“. Each card comes with a code that you can enter on-line for the game play. The code unlocks the horse that corresponds with the card. These cards are the new cards. Treasures and we received two horses that are from their new Miniatures Line.

All of the magical horses have names, like Kallista, Misla and Ondine. We received two with our review. They are plastic miniature horses that look like candy. Yes, I actually put one in my mouth to make sure they weren’t candy. PLEASE make sure you give these to children who know they are not candy. They are for ages 3 and up and are choking hazards for those under.


With Bella Sara Nintendo DS game you can:
Befriend 6 beautiful horses from the magical world Bella Sara.
Activate the exclusive horse ‘Excelsior’
Explore the magical trails of North of North.
Maintain your stable, groom your horses and watch them blossom

Lands End creates Sun.Life. skin protection clothes

March 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Lands End has created Sun.Life.

These clothes are protective in the sun. They provide SPF 30 or 50. You know, when I go outside I don’t every think about the fact that my skin under my clothing isn’t protected. We hardly ever get sunburned there but it isn’t protected from all of the harmful rays.

Lands End has decided to take care of this for us.

“Our customers always look for the best quality, performance and style and we have built in all the attributes we felt were absolutely necessary to offer a fully functional, sun-protective outdoor apparel collection with everyday comfort and style.”

Suzanne Bryant, Vice President of Design for Lands’ End

Not only are they providing SPF protection but they are giving us style at the same time

Pediped Spring Line honors One Year for Flex

March 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

That’s right, the Flex line for Pediped turned one year old February 18th. In honor of turning one year old Pediped released their beautiful Spring Line. Pediped is a children’s shoes brand. My husband was actually excited to see the new styles. He picked out a pair for our son. I agree, they would be the perfect pair of shoes for him.

The Kyle

My son’s feet aren’t quite big enough for the Flex but that’s ok, because the Kyle isn’t a Flex style. I’ve posted before on Pediped, but if you need a reminder about what Flex is check this out.

My daughter loves to wear boots so my husband picked her out a pair of boots, but with summer around the corner we’re going to wait until the fall to get her a pair of boots.

I love shoes and everything in miniature is so much cuter. These sandals would be great for my son too. I have found that the quality of Pediped is outstanding. My daughter’s shoes still look brand new even with our very rainy weather.
