Our Review:
Cleaning up before going to bed every night is a part of DD's routine.  Now that baby G is helping to create messes, DD sometimes gets frustrated that she has to clean up her own mess as well as her little brother's. Just last week, she said to me, "I can't wait until baby G is a big boy so he can pick up his own toys." So, I played the Barney Clean Up, Clean Up DVD for her while she picked up all of the toys  in the living room. Watching Barney and his friends clean up showed DD that cleaning up could be fun and that she just needs to have the right attitude about it.

Mr. Chewy Pet Supplies Review

I was contacted by Mr. Chewy  to review their service. Although we don't have any pets right now, we used to be pet owners. We had 3 cats before we had kids, but since DD was allergic to our kitties, we had to give them up. My sister-in-law, on the other hand, has more pets than you can imagine. She loves animals and she has filled her house with them. She has a dog named "Baby" and since I was given the opportunity to work with Mr. Chewy, I decided to pick up some treats for my sister-in-law's dog. I received a gift card so I was able to check out the website and make my purchase for the review.

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of products the company offers. From dog food, dogs treats to cat litter and potty pads, the company seems to carry them all. I had a lot of fun checking out the different products and finding just the rights ones for my sister-in-law's pet.

The check out process was really easy and my review products actually arrived very well packaged and in a very timely matter. 

I think that a website like this is great for busy pet owners. If you don't have time to drive to the store and check out the different products on the shelves, it's great to be able to browse through the inventory in the comfort of your own home and have your order deliver to you.

All in all, I was very satisfied with the customer service as well as the products I received to review. I know that my sister-in-law's dog has really enjoy eating her treats. To shop for pet supplies for your cats or dogs, please visit Mr. Chewy website.

My reviews are not always positive, but they are my personal and honest opinions. Other people's views and experiences with the product or products might be different from mine.

Rally for Real Pizza! Freschetta Campaign

When I am not sure what to make for dinner or if I just want to change things up, I would order pizza for my family. However, it takes so long to get the pizza delivered and sometimes it just doesn't taste very good. This is why I love Freschetta pizzas. I keep them in stock in my freezer. Instead of ordering pizzas for delivery, I make Freschetta pizzas. I just pop them in the oven and in no time, we get freshly baked tasty pizza. I love that not only that they are delicious, they are also made of fresh ingredients that I feel great feeding my family with. It saves me time and tastes great, it's definitely a win-win in my book.

Freschetta offers a variety of different favors that appeals to everyone. You are sure to find something you love. If you enjoy eating Freschetta pizzas as much as we do, you have to check out the Rally for Real Pizza! Freschetta Campaign. Each week the company will select 100 winners -- to each receive 5 Freschetta Pizzas. On March 30, we will also select 10 winners - who will each receive Freschetta Pizza for a year!

*I occasionally receive compensation in the form of products for posts. However, the opinions I share are solely my own

SUNCHIPS 6 Grain Medley Creamy Roasted Garlic Flavored Multigrain Snacks Review

When we were offered the chance to try out SUNCHIPS 6 Grain Medley Creamy Roasted Garlic Flavored Multigrain Snacks, we happily agreed. Although we try to eat healthy and not eat as much potato chips as we used to, we do still eat chips from time to time. We have always like SUNCHIPS, so we could not wait to check out the new favor. We received a box of 6 Grain Medley Creamy Roasted Garlic Flavored Multigrain Snacks to try. It was a good thing that we received several bags of the chips because there was no way that we could all just shared from one bag. As soon as the box showed up at our door, each one of us grabbed a bag to try it out (myself, DH and DD). We finished our bags of chips in no time. We all agree that the favor is great. We could taste just a bit of the parmesan, but the favor is not at all overwhelming.

This new snack has 21 grams of whole grain, 4 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein. It is definitely healthier than some of the other kids snacks DD eats sometimes so I don't feel bad about packing this SUNCHIPS snack in her lunch box. I will be buying more of them to enjoy for sure!

To try these yummy crunchy snacks, please visit your local supermarket or drug stores where SUNCHIPS are sold.

Our Review:
DD loves this DVD. As a little girl, she loves ballerinas and wants to be one. Of course, she also dreams of being a princess. Watching Angelina in Ballerina Princess is exciting for her because she thinks that being both a ballerina and a princess would be the best job ever. In this DVD, Angelina and her friends dance and bring an epic tale to life. Out of all of the episodes, DD's favorite was Angelina's Fancy Tutu. She is so impressed by her lovely tutu that she wanted to know if I could get one for her. Angelina Ballerina: Ballerina Princess  DVD is a great DVD for any little princess in your life.

Prince Lionheart seatNEAT Review & -Rafflecopter- Giveaway

Baby G's first feeding seat was the bébéPOD flex from Prince Lionheart. We loved it so much that we actually even took it with us for our trip to Taiwan last month. My cousin Scott has a baby girl (who is 4 months old) so when we left Taiwan to come back home we ended up leaving the bébéPOD flex behind for them to use.

Since we are now back in the states and we need a seat for baby G. We decided to upgrade him to the boosterPOD^. We love the boosterPOD, we actually leave it in my car because we prefer using it over the high chairs at restaurants. Of course, we also use it for our visits to the grandparents' house. The only problem is that my in laws have really nice expensive dinning set and I don't want my little guy to get it all dirty and gross. This is the reason why the seatNeat is a must have product for us.  I simply put it over the chair that baby G uses to help protect it.

It has a non slip bottom so that the seatNeat stays put even when my little wiggle worm wiggles all around in his seat. The top of seatNeat is easy to wipe down and clean up after messy meals.

You can use seatNeat on wood, leather and upholstered dining chairs.

As I have mentioned before, we keep our Prince Lionheart seat in the car so that we could use it when we are out. I like that seatNeat folds up flat and takes up very little space so that I could keep it in the car with the seat.

The seatNeat has ensured that our dining room chair and my in law's dining room chair stay clean, so I would not hesitation to recommend it to other moms. To buy one, please visit the Prince Lionheart website.

Many thanks to Prince Lionheart. The company has generously offered 1 seatNeat as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers. This giveaway ends on March 10th, 2012.
