Rainbow Brite

Lisa — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:14:40 +0000

If you are a girl (and around my age), Rainbow Brite is definitely a character that you remember from your childhood. I recently learned that there is an entire site devoted to Rainbow Bright and the gang. It was awesome to introduce my 6 year old to Rainbow Brite and watch her have a ton of fun with it. Not only does the site have 4 animated episodes on it, there are games, puzzles, coloring pages, etc on it. You kids can easily get lost for hour in it! (I know Madison was!). Even more exciting than the new site is that the newest Rainbow Brite fashion doll collection is now available at Target stores and should be arriving to Toys R Us this month!

Rainbow Brite is a character that you don’t have to worry about your children watching. She is wholesome, beautiful, and the stories are great for little girls to watch. I highly recommend checking her out and even picking up a doll (I’m checking right now to see if my local Target has them!).

Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner

Lisa — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:50:27 +0000

We recently were sent Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner to try out. Right now, I use several cleaners in the bathroom — one for the toilet, one for the sink, and one for the shower. My bathroom is not that big, so something that would allow me to use less products is definitely welcome in my home. That is where Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner comes in. This product can be used on everything in your bathroom. You can choose whether to have to spray foam or just spray depending on your cleaning need. (I’ll be honest — I’m a foam girl. I just used that on everything). The coolest part of this cleaner is that you can turn the bottle upside down and it still sprays! To clean the toilet, I had to turn the bottle upside down, and not one problem occurred. It sprayed just like it would right side up!

How did it clean? Excellent! Personally, I loved that I didn’t have to scrub Madison’s leftover toothpaste in the bottom of the sink. After spraying it, it came right up. The shower was just as easy as was the tub. This is definitely a product that lives up to its name. Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner will be replacing my other cleaning products.

Fandangling Review and Giveaway!

Lisa — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:54:03 +0000

I have to apologize for the not so great picture of a great product that I can’t say enough about. (I tried taking it with the light on and it was way worse). See those butterflies hanging off Madison’s fan? Those are Fandanglings, and they are awesome!

The inventor of Fandangling says it best:

I invented Fandangling quite by accident. It all started with our daughter Lia. When she was born we were seeking ways to keep her happy and interested in her room. When I put the first Fandangling on the fan in her room, her eyes lit up and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now, my kids (2 and 6) have always been a fan of fans, so I knew this would be a big hit in my house. It took Bill (my husband) less than 5 minutes to put it up, and that was with help from the kids. My two year old and six year old love to watch the butterflies go round and round and round. This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” products. I can say that my kids would have loved this as babies too. They both have always been in love with fans. When Madison was a baby, we had a mobile we had to constant wind up. Can I tell you how much of a pain that was? Seriously. The mobile we bought for Will costed twice as much as a Fandangling and used a ton of batteries. I really wish this would have been around, because I would have bought several of these! My only complaint is that I wish they had more boyish designs like cars, tools, trucks, etc.

Since this is such a great product, I knew I had to pass one of these along to my great readers! Here’s what you need to do:

It’s All Too Much!

Lisa — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:20:13 +0000

How many times do you walk around your cluttered house and want to scream “It’s all too much!”? Be honest, we’ve all been there. Have no fear though — Peter Walsh is to the rescue. It’s All Too Much! is a full length DVD with more than an hour of tips, techniques and encouragement that will help you declutter every room of your home once and for all. One of my personal goals this year to be more uncluttered, and Peter Walsh definitely has a lot of great ideas to make that happen. I’ve actually incorporated a lot of his ideas already. One of his tips that I have to do a better job with is making sure that all flat surfaces should remain empty and clutter free. If I could stick to that, my kitchen would always be clean! Peter, you need to see my lack of kitchen counter space and cupboards and help me! In the meantime, I’m just going to try and keep them clean. We recently bought a 4 drawer file cabinet, and that seems to be helping a lot. We reorganized my closet and Madison’s closet too by adding shelves which has helped a lot too.

If you need to unclutter your house and your life, you need to watch this DVD. Not only does Peter have great ideas and tips, he even has a way to include your whole family in decluttering your life!
