All My Rosy Love Bouquet from SendFlowers.com

Flowers are a traditional Valentine’s Day gift idea. I think sending someone flowers can make a number of different statements. Certain flowers can mean certain things. Arrangements can be made with favorite colors or holidays in mind.

I remember a time my hubby sent me flowers. It was our 6 month wedding anniversary. Yea 6 months and he actually thought enough of that to send me flowers. I was impressed with just that aspect alone. BUT he arranged to have them sent to my work place while I was at work AND he sent the sweetest handwritten card to go with it.

I remember how the ladies at the office all came to see who they were from and why. Admiring the flowers and taking turns reading the card my husband had wrote. It’s stuff like that that can really make a woman feel special.

SendFlowers.com has lots of arrangements to choose from. With Valentine’s Day coming up this week you could choose a Valentine themed arrangement like the All My Rosy Love Bouquet that will be arranged by a local florist and delivered to a special person in your life.

It looks like a bright and cheery bouquet doesn’t it? The reds and shades of purple in the simple glass vase would make a nice gift for anyone. You see the professional pictures on the websites and wonder if it really looks like that when your recipient receives them. I was sent the All My Rosy Love Bouquet from SendFlowers.com and here’s what it looked like from my own digital camera.

Her’e two different views. The arrangements includes red roses, purple alstroemeria, and purple monte casino. Mine were delivered from a local floral shop near me called “Forget Me Not Floral and Gift Shoppe”. I thought it was a pretty bouquet that I would certainly be happy with if my husband were to send it to me.

Purex Crystals for Babies review and giveaway

Purex seems to be constantly updating their products and adding new products. I love it. As a mom of 3 boys and another baby on the way I love that Purex products work but don’t break the bank. One of Purex’s newest additions to their product line is Purex Crystals for Baby. This is a great compliment to the Purex Baby detergent they also introduced.

If you are familiar with Purex Crystals, then you know you simply add them directly into your washing machine with your clothes. It gives your clothes an added freshness that lasts. Purex Crystals for Baby does them same thing except it’s hypoallergenic, dye free, and safe for all clothes including children’s sleepwear. It has an 87% natural formula so it’s great for sensitive skin.

You can see there is no color to the crystals. It does have fresh fragrance that I can’t put my finger on. It’s a a pleasant scent. I love the way the clothes smelled when I took them out of the dryer.

Each bottle contains enough crystals to do 32 loads of laundry. Purex Crystals for Baby will be available at Walmart starting early February. The Purex Baby detergent is already available. I’m so excited for this. Since we’re expecting our newest baby April 2, I’m so glad to have Purex, a company I trust, to help me prepare for our baby.

Daddy Scrubs book great for Expectant Dads

The clock is starting to wind down on my pregnancy. At the time of me writing this, I’m 31 weeks. Only 9 more to go. My husband works 2nd shift so it’s hard for him to be there for all the appointments and the kids practices and things. He works really hard to provide for our family and I appreciate him.

It’s important for our boys to have time with him as much as possible. Especially our youngest son. I think story time is good for them both on a few different levels. Not only do they get one on one time together but it’s a way to encourage our son to read.

DaddyScrubs.com has a “Bag O’ Books” that are all daddy oriented. My husband was reading our son “The Daddy Book” from the collection which was a cute and colorful book that seemed to engage our son who is 3.

The DaddyScrubs Bag O’Books includes a the following book titles packaged in a DaddyScrubs canvas tote and includes a pair of sunglasses:

–The Daddy Book by Todd Parr

–What Daddy Duck Loves by Paige Nickell

–I Love You Daddy by Edie Evans

–What Daddy Bear Loves by Paige Nickell

–Just Me and My Dad by Mercer Mayer

–The New Dad’s Survival Guide by Scott Mactavish

–Clifford’s Day with Dad by Norman Bridwell

DaddyScrubs Bag O’Books would be a nice expectant dad gift to let them know you’re thinking about them too. I started reading “The New Dad’s Survival Guide” just to see what it had to say. It’s written in easy to read language and is a light-hearted approach to the whole pregnancy and birth process, especially for new dads.

There is a neat little story behind the DaddyScrubs brand which you can learn about through their Youtube video here:

DaddyScrubs.com has a number of other products as well to make dad feel special and encourage involvement.

DaddyScrubs is also on social media. You can find them on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaddyScrubs

Dapper Snappers Toddler Belt review and giveaway

DapperSnappers.com doesn’t just offer belts, they offers solutions to getting clothes to fit. Dapper Snappers has belts for everyone from toddlers to adults. Yea, you can walk into just about any store that sells belts and pick one up but there is a lot of though behind Dapper Snappers. It’s mom invented and 100% made in the USA.

I’ve seen cute toddler belts, I even have a couple for my youngest son but to change his diaper I’d have to unbuckle it and forget about him trying to manage his pants by himself when potty training. Some toddler pants have the adjustable waist but what do you do when they don’t have an adjustable waist or they don’t have belt loops? The answer is Dapper Snappers.

I had the chance to review one of the solid color Dapper Snapper Toddler belts. These are meant for pants with loops. You don’t have to fuss with them during diaper changes and your little one doesn’t have to struggle with them when they try to use the potty independently. If you have pants without belt loops or a skirt there are toddler belts with clips that do the same job.

See Dapper Snapper toddler belts only go in the back and fasten with snaps. They cinch the pants up comfortably without getting in the way for other things. To show you how easy they are to use, I made a Youtube video with the help of my youngest son as a model and my oldest son as camera man. Again, I apologize that the video came out narrow, I have no idea how to fix that. If you know, please let me know so I can do it better next time.

You can see how easy it was to place the belt and that was my first time ever using Dapper Snapper toddler belts. I have actually had the opportunity to try the kids belts as well and I was equally impressed with them. They use a strong magnetic closure for the belt which my son, 8 yrs old at the time, loved.

The toddler belts come in 16 different solid colors and a bunch of patterns as well. DapperSnappers toddler belts fit ages 9 months to 6 yrs of age. One size fits all.

Besides their website you can also find Dapper Snappers on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/DapperSnapperFans

Snazzy Lites Colored Hair Extensions review and giveaway

I’m the kind of girl who loves a lot of the celebrity’s hair cuts and colors but am too nervous to try some of them for myself. Even when I do work up the nerve to get my hair cut I like it for about 2 weeks or a month and I’m ready to get my long hair back.

I love some of the bold colors of some of the musicians and actresses. With my dark hair I’ve thought for along time I’d like to try some bold red highlights in my hair. I was worried I wouldn’t like they way it looked and end up wasting my money because I’d want to dye my hair back to the original color.

Snazzy Lites colored hair extensions are a great alternative to a more permanent look. SnazzyLites.com offers 13 different colors in human hair color extensions. From more ordinary colors like blonde and black to bolder colors like Orangey Orange and Fierce Fuscia to name a couple.

I made a video review for this one. I want to apologize. I have no idea why it turned out so narrow. If anyone knows what I need to do, please let me know.

I love the fact that they are so easy to put in and take out. I also love that you can easily wash them with shampoo, water, and conditioner if you like. You can wear a couple different colors at once, wear only one, or where several different colors. Snazzy Lites makes it easy for you to create the hair color look you want. It’s a safer way to add chunky highlights to your hair without the use of chemicals.

Great for so many things:

–a night out with the girls

–heading out to a concert

–school spirit events

–halloween and costume parties

–a new temporary look for your man

and so many other ideas.

You can order Snazzy Lites on their website: http://www.snazzylites.com
