Bean Bag Chairs - Pottery Barn Kids

June 04, 2012

altI can't explain the attraction of the bean bag but I recall as a child loving bean bags and thinking that they were the coolest piece of furniture in the house. Now that I have kids, I was quickly reminded of this infatuation. Every trip to the local library began with a story time session on the bean bags.

Piggy Paints - Kid-Friendly Nail Polish Review

June 04, 2012

altI can honestly say that I never thought about nail polish being any different than what we have... i.e. somewhat smelly and fumy but does the job. Little did I know that you could get a high-quality nail polish for kids that is water-based and without all the fumes and chemicals, but works just as well. That's why I need to give huge props to mom of two Melanie Hurley who invented the safe nail polish for kids concept after she accidentally dripped your average solvent-based nail polish onto a foam plate and it ate right through it!

Trader Joe's Almond Butter - Review

May 15, 2012

altDue to the healthy fat content, I've been eating a lot of almonds lately. Almonds are a perfect snack to help you feel full between meals. Since almonds are naturally healthier than snacking on peanuts, I decided to try Trader Joe's Almond Butter as a possible substitute or replacement for traditional peanut butter.

Tide Pods Review and Video

April 16, 2012

altHave you heard about the new Tide Pods Detergent? Tide Pods claim to be a detergent, stain remover, and brightener all in one. But, do Tide Pods work on tough stains?

I recently received a sample of the new Tide Pods to review. The new Tide Pods are a soft gel pack that dissolves in any temperature and works in all machine types.

Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser Review

March 21, 2012

altI often see products on TV and wonder if they actually work. I think there's plenty of commercials that conveniently set up the product to be an undoubted success, i.e. make the task at hand simple enough that there's no chance to fail. Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser seemed like one of those "too good to be true" stain remover gimmicks, so I never even considered buying them. I thought the Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser was just a sponge.
