Tween Seat Belt #KidsBuckleUp #PSA

Parenting a tween involves compromise. But here’s one rule that should not be up for debate – the car doesn’t move until everyone is wearing a seat belt. So if you say it, and if we buckle up ourselves, your tween will buckle up. And if they don’t, that’s a fight worth having. It might just save your tween’s life. The car doesn’t move until everyone is wearing a seat belt. If you say it, and if you buckle up, your tween will buckle up.

Did you know that one child passenger age 8 – 14 is injured every 8 minutes in a car crash? From 2009 – 2013, 1,522 kids ages 8-14 died in car, SUV and van crashes. Of those who died, almost half were unbelted. As children get older they’re sometimes less likely to buckle up. The percentage of child passengers who die while riding unrestrained generally increases with age and is most pronounced among 13 and 14-year-olds regardless of seating position.

The Ad Council and The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to ask for your support of the Seat Belt Safety campaign, which asks parents of children ages 8-14 to make sure their kids are consistently and properly wearing their seat belt every time they get in the car.  Seat belt safety should be non-negotiable: http://www.safercar.gov/parents/SeatBelts/Tweens-Seat-Belt-NonNegotiable.htm

 Parents are the #1 influence on children’s seat belt usage.  Buckling-up is an important habit to instill in children at a young age. Parents can lead by example by wearing a seat belt themselves and by insisting on seat belt use for every passenger in their vehicle. Seat belts and safety seats, if used correctly, dramatically reduce the risk of fatality or injury to children.

Sentey Headphone FLOW Review #senteyflow #spon


Recently I was sent the Sentey FLOW Headphone to review. This is a nice and sleek headphone that it foldable for easy storage.  For those who like an elegant and modern design, SENTEY presents FLOW, a new stereo headphone that combines mobility, beauty, and excellent sound quality. Comfortable,lightweight and foldable, FLOW was created to company you in your musical adventure wherever that may be. Its in-line microphone and control allow you to talk easily on your mobile phone at home or at work. FLOW is the ideal solution if you want to have music with your all day.

A couple days after they came, my husband was to leave on a trip, so of course he had to take them with him.  These fit nicely in his carry-on and they did not get tangled (since the cord is removable)! They worked perfectly with his iPad, the ear cushions let him enjoy the movie he was watching on it in comfort. Once he was done watching a movie, he switched to his iPod and listened to some tunes on the rest of the flight. They are compatible with any PC, laptop, notebook or Mac computer , tablet , Sony Playstation Ps3, Ps4 and more!

The sound quality of these headphones is fantastic! My husband can be hard on headphones, so he goes through them often and they aren't always cheap to replace.  This is the perfect headphone, it is affordable and has an in-line  omnidirectional microphone that picks up your voice without having to talk directly into it. It works perfectly with his gaming system.  He can still talk and hear the conversations, without the rest of the house having to hear it as well!

The FLOW fold up for easy transport and storage anywhere you want.   The flat detachable cable designed to prevent tangles in both use and storage while providing the maximum strength.

If you are looking for some amazing quality over the ear headphones, then these are the ones for you.  You won't break the bank and have a sweet looking set of headphones!

Purchase the  SENTEY FLOW on Amazon for  $14.99 & FREE Shipping on orders over $35.

I am in love with this iron.  I have honestly had the same iron for all 15 years of marriage, so it was time for an upgrade.   I love the super long cord, I don't have to worry about the iron accidentally getting pulled out of the wall, while I move around the ironing board.   The sole plate has so many holes, it makes ironing a breeze with all the heat and steam.  It is also super easy to clean just wipe it with a damp cloth and the starch wipes of like dusting. No pressure needed.  

It heats up super fast and has amazing vertical steam vapor.  My last iron does not compare at all to this iron, I honesty dreaded ironing with my old iron, it would take forever to warm up, steam was hit or miss, etc.  I had no idea that ironing could be so easy and yes, I admit it... fun!

The T‐FAL FV4495 BLACK ULTRAGLIDE IRON is available at Amazon.com, K‐Mart, and Walmart; MSRP $45.00

Ironing Tips and Tricks:
  • So all your ironing in the bedroom. Sort your laundry on the bed, iron and then the hangers are nice close at hand in the closet.  
  •  Start with the cuffs of your dress shirts and iron around the inside and then the outside. Then press along the arms of the sleeve and around the button. The sleeves are finished and out of the way while you work on the rest of the shirt.
  • To prevent wrinkles, keep moving freshly ironed surfaces away from you.  
  • Always iron using straight, back and forth strokes; never use circular movements. This can stretch out your fabrics and will shorten the life of your clothes

How to Choose the Best Summer Camp for Your Kids: 6 Tips + Mabel’s Labels Limited Edition Camp Combo is back! #spon

Mabel’s Labels aren’t just perfect for the school year, they’re essential for summer too! And, for the first time ever, Mabel’s Labels adds a new feature to their popular Limited Edition Camp Combo will help kids keep in touch with parents while at camp!   Make sure you label all their gear with the Limited Edition Camp Label Pack. It includes all the UV resistant, waterproof labels and tags you'll need to avoid mix-ups and lost items.

Help parents reduce wasteful repurchases of lost items by labeling everything in order to keep track of their kids’ stuff while away at camp. Mabel’s Labels 2015 Limited Edition Camp Combo consists of UV resistant water-proof personalized labels perfect for all of the kids’ camp gear, from swimwear to toothbrushes, to identical sleeping bags in cabin A.

There are five new icons to enjoy: sailboats, goggles, raccoon, chipmunk, and flip-flops. Additionally, since camp is about connecting with people and nature (and, staying off of those addictive tech gadgets), as an added bonus Mabel’s Labels is introducing a set of five fun postcards as a special gift that kids can use to keep in touch the old fashioned way.

Perfect for clothes, swim gear, backpacks, shoes, toiletries and more – this essential summer combo is available for the early bird price of just $35.95 until April 30th. 


School is out in just a matter of weeks and summer camp will soon be in full swing! Piles of extra shorts, sneakers, sunscreen, backpacks and everything needed to outfit your little adventurer are being organized about your home... but what happens when it walks out the door?  It can get lost and never seen again!   Limited Edition Camp Combo Packs from Mabel's Labels are the perfect solution for keeping all that gear organized once it leaves the house. These UV resistant, waterproof camp labels are designed to stay put on everything from soggy swimsuits to tossed aside toothbrushes (who wants to share a toothbrush with 20 other campers? Yuck!), and will help your little camper keep track of their things.

I am a huge fan of Mabel Labels and have been purchasing them since my children were infants.  Now that they are both spending the week away at overnight camp this year, what better way to keep track of their stuff with labels.  I even place a label on the sleeping bag tag!  This year I opted for just our last name on the labels since we have two kids off to camp, this way they both can use the same labels.  During the school year, they get labels with their own names!  I was amazed at how bright and vibrant the colors were on the labels.  They surely won't be misplacing items this year!

How to Choose the Best Summer Camp for Your Kids: 6 Tips

Google the phrase “summer camp” and you’ll get almost 30 million hits. So how do you find the right one? Here are some helpful tips.
  1. The earlier you start your research, the better. Get online well in advance of camp season and be as specific in your search terms as you can, (e.g. narrow down location, type of camp, co-ed or not, etc.) or you’ll spend way too much time going down cyber roads to nowhere.
  2. Consider your child’s interests. Do they love sports, science, arts… or why not try a week or so of each? Or how about using camp to have them test out activities beyond their regular favourites? Kids can immerse themselves for a limited time in tennis or robot building or… fill in the blank. If they hate it, they need never lift a racquet/wrench again; if they love it, you’ve just opened the door to a passion that may otherwise have remained closed.
  3. Think of where the preferred activities are normally held. Your kid loves to act? Check out local theatre companies. Into science? Try a university engineering department. Lurk on camp chat boards (many of the larger camp websites have them) or better still, post a question or three.
  4. Also consider your child’s needs. Is their year crammed with home- work and after-school activities? If so, perhaps a traditional, fun, outdoor camp would be just what they need. Are they comfortable meeting lots of new people and experiencing a variety of new activities or would a smaller, more controlled environment be better for them?
  5. Choose between day camp or residential… Or maybe a mixture of both. Some outdoor day camps end their week with a sleepover and this is a great way to introduce your child to being away overnight. You can take this concept further by having your child attend day camps for most of the summer and then let them finish off with a bang by spending one week away at an overnight camp.
  6. Keep it within your budget. Costs range from thousands of dollars for international camps to a few bucks for an afternoon at a local day camp. Keep in mind; price is not necessarily an indication of quality. For that, you should consider: counselor to kid ratio, qualifications and experience of camp staff, depth and quality of programs.
There are countless things that will sway your choice when it comes to selecting a camp, but ultimately, the only wrong choice you can make is one which doesn’t consider the uniqueness of your child!

all®, America’s trusted premium laundry brand, is partnering with the Peanuts Gang, on a multi-year, integrated campaign. The centerpiece of the campaign is a TV spot featuring Pig-Pen and the other members of the Peanuts gang – Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and Snoopy of course – all portrayed by real kids.

With the much-anticipated Peanuts Movie (a 3D CGI “adventure in theaters” and the first new feature film in 35 years) premiering Nov 6, and new product innovations coming from the brand, the partnership is perfect since all Laundry is looking for the world's dirtiest kid!  Just look at my little Pig Pin!  All covered in mud from head to toe.  Let me tell you, it is rough getting out mud stains from clothing.  Having two young athletes, it seems I am always doing laundry and trying to get the grass and mud stains out of uniforms.

It is the only single dose OXI detergent on the market specially designed to be gentle on skin.  Full of concentrated cleaning power, all® Oxi now contains In-Wash Pre-Treaters for whiter whites (vs. all® Stainlifter).

Give your home tough love with Dreft's cleaning products this Spring Cleaning Season #Giveaway #ad


It is that time of year again—Spring Cleaning is the time of year that moms look forward to and dread all at the same time. From winter sweaters to lingering holiday décor it is time to do a full on mass cleaning. Dreft is here to help; Dreft is a product moms have trusted for years to keep their babies’ clothes clean and safe. In recent news Dreft has created a cleaning line that cleans but still keeps families and pets safe from dangerous chemicals. The cleaning line includes, Dreft fabric & Odor Eliminator, Dreft Gentle Clean Multi-Surface wipes, and Dreft Gentle Clean Multi-Surface Spray.

Dreft Fabric refresher &  odor eliminator
Babies. Easy on the eyes, not so much on the nose sometimes. Dreft Fabric Refresher & Odor Eliminator helps get the stink out of fabric, carpet and upholstery often left behind by baby messes.  This is perfect for moms with kid in sports.  Some of the odors that appear after a games, practice or their sports uniform in the gym bag make you want to gag!  I spray this on the  inside and outside of the bag, in the cleats, on the shin guards, etc.   This is a great product and really does help to eliminate the odors and get everything smelling great.
Dreft Gentle Clean Multi-Surface Wipes
Dreft Gentle Clean Multi-Surface Wipes go wherever little ones may wander. They’re pre-moistened and formulated for babies to swiftly clean any surface they get their hands on. Toys, glass, counters. Use your imagination. Then go wipe down whatever you imagined because baby is probably touching it.  These wipes smell great and do the job without leaving your counters sticky or super wet.  We are using them all over the house, whether it is wiping down  light switches, doorknobs or cupboards.
Gentle Clean Multi-Surface Spray
Dreft Gentle Clean Multi-Surface Spray is formulated to effectively clean the surfaces your child touches, which means pretty much everything. Everywhere. All the time. Like toys, glass, counters and super-expensive things they shouldn’t touch but do anyway.   We have tempered glass on our white coffee table to  keep the stains and scuffs away.  Well the one thing with glass is it is always got a finger print or hand print on it.  Since this is multipurpose, I can use this on the glass top and then use it to continue my cleaning throughout the rest of the house!  It is a nice and gentle cleaner!
 This new line of cleaners from Dreft is a great edition to my cleaning cupboard.  This and nice and gentle cleaners that still do the job without harsh smells.   Next time you are out and about, check out the  Dreft's cleaning product line.

One lucky reader (US only) will win some products from the  Dreft's cleaning product line.  Please wait for the Rafflecopter to load:
