Wholesale Keychains Digital Keychain Review and Giveaway—CLOSED
	


	
	
	

		


I received a cute pink Digital Photo Keychain from Wholesalekeychains.com.  I love my pink stuff especially since I have 3 boys and the only pink in the house comes from me.  The digital photo keychain was a nice size.  Not too bulky, slender design, and a nice easy to use clip to attach it to a key, purse, backpack etc.




I attached it to the zipper on my purse for easy access to those proud momma moments.  The Digital Photo Keychain I received holds 140 of my photos! I think that’s great for a digital keychain.  There are easy to use buttons on the back that let you toggle through pictures and turn it off and on.






The Digital Photo Keychain from wholesalekeychains.com came with a usb cable to plug it into your computer for uploading pictures and charging.  The software automatically loaded on my computer when i plugged it into the computer and turned it on. The uploading software was easy to use.  


The picture screen is a nice size for a digital photo keychain.  You can adjust the timer to have it shut off automatically after so long.  It can automatically scroll the pictures when turned on or you can toggle through yourself.


The instructions are pretty easy to follow.  It only took me a couple minutes to figure out how to use it.


Review Summary:  At only $9.99 for this particular keychain I think this is a great value.  It is nicely made and easy to use.  This would make a $10 gift or stocking stuffer for the upcoming holidays.  Think about this for your teenager, a grand parent, or just about anyone who owns a computer.  You can even have them engraved for an extra $5.99.  I think this is a real bargain if you’ve ever wanted a digital keychain.


Check out wholesalekeychains.com digital photo keychain selection.  They have many more colors to choose from. There are also ones with more memory to hold even more pictures.

Review: CostumeSuperCenter.com
	


	
	
	

		
Around about July, my kids start telling me what they want to be for Halloween.  They usually change their minds about a bazillion times until I have to pin them down to make a decision.  This year I decided to pin them down sooner.  Getting costumes for 3 boys usually gives me a headache.  “I want that one, no wait I want that one, wait I’m going to look at this one again?”


Last year I ordered my oldest son’s costume online.  Sooo much better.  They could click through the costumes and decide that way.  We started looking through CostumeSuperCenter.com They had a nice selection of boys costumes.  There are categories to easily find what you’re looking for. It was also nice to see that I could forego sifting through the girls costumes as well since they have a boys Halloween costumes link too.


 My 2 older boys are really into Star Wars right now so of course they wanted to look at the Star Wars costumes.  Right away my oldest was looking at the Child Boba Fett Costume.


   
He kept going back and forth as to which one he wanted to be.  He looked through all the other boys Halloween costumes as well.  One of my favorites was the Zombie Skate Punk costume for only $28.99.  My oldest considered it but went right back to the Child Boba Fett Costume.  I let my kids decide what they want to be each year then it’s up to me to figure out the most budget friendly way to do it.  ( I’m no Martha Stewart so it usually means just finding the best deals).


So my oldest decided that, yes he did in fact want to be Boba Fett for Halloween this year.  I gave him a warning that once we got it, that’s what he was going to be.  That means no changing.  He agreed.  We got the costume from CostumeSuperCenter.com really fast.  He just had to try it on:




What a show off lol.  He’s happy with his costume.  The prices are great.  The shipping is fast. I really can’t believe the deals on the costumes for the types of costumes they have.   I feel better knowing one costume is taking care of.  Now only 2 more to go.


Browse through CostumeSuperCenter.com and tell me what you think your kids would like to be.

Post your “need” in the MckLinky by writing about what you need and linking to where others can fulfill that need.  Meet the need of the 3 ppl DIRECTLY ABOVE your link, AND THEN YOU ARE DONE! If you want more than 3 ppl to help you out, then wait a bit, come back later and enter your need again (just make sure you AGAIN help out the 3 ppl DIRECTLY ABOVE you).  The idea is that you help out 3 ppl and 3 ppl help you out…AND you don’t have to wonder if you left someone hanging because your job is done as soon as you help out the three ppl above you!  You can link up as many times as you want! 


PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IN ORDER TO LINK UP, YOU NEED TO FULFILL THE REQUESTS OF THE THREE PEOPLE ABOVE YOU.  IF YOU CANNOT MEET THE NEED, PLEASE EMAIL ME.  OTHERWISE, I WILL BE DELETING REQUESTS OF THOSE WHO AREN’T FULFILLING THE REQUESTS OF OTHERS.   IF YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO HELP OTHERS OUT AT THE MOMENT, THEN PLEASE WAIT TO LINK UP UNTIL YOU DO. THANK YOU 🙂
If I delete your request and you DID meet the needs of the 3 ppl DIRECTLY ABOVE YOU, please email me and I will correct this! 


**Note** If someone asks that you follow via GFC and you already do, I’m sure they would appreciate it if you find another way to follow or help them.  Or you could comment and let them know you already do and ask if there is anything else you can do to help them.

five of your favorite family time ideas
	


	
	
	

		
Twittermoms.com and LEGO have a great blogging opportunity going on right now.  List 5 of your favorite family time ideas.  For me we try to do it frugal but do it fun. Here are some of the things we enjoy doing.


1. We love to have a movie night.  We get a movie on Videos on Demand usually (family friendly of course). I’ll make up some microwave popcorn or some finger foods. The kids are allowed to eat in the living room (this is usually a no no so it’s fun for the kids).  They love it and we can all have a laugh together and talk about the movie.


2.  Baking—now I’m no Betty Crocker but the kids enjoy a box mix just as much as making from scratch. For a quick treat we like to get the muffin mixes. We’ll make them up together and eat them warm with butter and a glass of milk.  Even though it only take a few minutes the kids enjoy it.  I let them do most of it.  Then they like to tell dad “i made these muffins”.


3.  Family soccer games (when the weather is cooperative of course).  It’s usually my hubby and one of my sons, then me and one of my sons on teams.  We put a blanket out for the baby with some toys on it and he enjoys watching us.  We kick the ball around the yard setting certain landmarks as goals (1 is usually between the 2 rose bushes the other is usually the sand pit where the easy set pool was)


4.  Family walks.  Sometimes the kids will ride their bikes along side and sometimes they’ll walk.  The baby enjoys looking around and taking in everything. 


5.  Family game night–this could include a boys only video game session (the 2 older boys and my hubby with me and the baby watching and me getting snacks for them), card games, or whatever we feel like. 


I’d love to hear some of your frugal family time activities.  OR create your own post with twittermoms.com for a chance at LEGO prizes!
