Beatrice Munson

by: Lorena Bathey

Beatrice Munson is a book I am currently reading and after I have finished the book I will return with a full review.  So far I really like the book as I can relate with some of the things that goes on being a Stay at Home Mom.  What do you do when someone you disagree with moves into your neighborhood?  That is one of the issues Marissa Lyons faces when Beatrice Munson moves in across the street.  Please stay tuned for a full review at the conclusion of the book.  So far it is a great read but I haven't had much time for reading.  I wish I could just read this book uninterrupted for a while as I think it would be very worth it.

Colgate Optic White

I received Colgate Optic White Toothpaste, Toothbrush, and Mouthwash complimentary in a VoxBox from Influenster.

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you all what I thought of this trio.  I added it to my dental hygiene regimen about a week and a half ago and must say I do see a brighter smile and so does everyone else.  The toothbrush does wonders to polish the teeth as you brush.  The toothpaste tastes minty not medicine-y but not too minty.  I am not a fan of the mouthwash however.  I thought it tasted a little like peroxide and its very hard to get the taste out of your mouth.  I still use it because it is recommended to use the trio for maximum results.  So, so far so good with the Colgate Optic White regimen.

Magic Whiteboard Letter Sheets

I got to sample the Magic Whiteboard Letter Sheets.  I had taken pictures but due to computer trouble they accidentally got deleted and I haven't been able to take new ones as of yet.  We all love the Magic Whiteboard Sheet we obtained for the review.  The sample sheet was very thin but very strong and was about 8.25 inches by 11.75 inches.  We used it to practice spelling and math and for the littler ones to practice their letters and to just draw pictures.  What we loved about this Whiteboard is that we could draw and write and then wipe it away and do it again.  It can be reused and reused again.  It was made of sturdy material so it doesn't tear easily.

You could use these for a shopping list or for an idea board or chore board or the uses I used it for above.  The uses are endless.  They Magic White Board Letter Sheets also come in other colors as well.  See Magic Whiteboard in action: http://youtu.be/y5FR6mhZnAI

Lovable Labels

Launched in 2003 Lovable Labels was created to solve once mom's problem.  The problem was that she was asked to label everything needed for her son for his childcare.  This means labeling indoor items as well as outdoor items, clothing and food containers included.  Yes, sure she could of used a permanent marker and wrote on every item but she thought there could be a better way.  Lovable labels are designed to be tough and durable for use everyday on your child's items and to last the test of time but also to be cute and stylish.  My opinion is that they met this objective quite well.

The result of the creation are durable, long lasting, visual appealing and kid friendly sticker backed labels.  They are waterproof, dishwasher and microwave safe.  They are also washer and dry safe as well as sun and bleach safe.  They can withstand heat and your can get sunscreen right on them without discolorations.  If you can think of an item to be labeled Lovable Labels can help you out.

What I love about these labels is that they are easy to apply to just about any item and they stay where you put them.  What the kids love about them is that they are customize-able so they get a label that they even love.  They are easy to customize too.  Step 1: Choose your label.  You can choose Regular Sticker Labels, Slimline Sticker Labels, Shoe Labels, Fun Stickies, Press n' Stick Clothing DOTS, Iron-ons, Allergy Alert Labels, Original Bag Tags, and Mini-Metal Tags.  Step 2: Choose and icon.  Step 3: Choose a Colour Combo.  It's simple right.  They are have split packs, friendship packs (which will go off sale at the end of February so order now, 160 labels for $24.99), combo packs and starter packs available.  

I didn't get a chance to review the Medical and Vital Wristbands which are available in 6 colours that the kids would love.  Lovable Labels has a lot of interesting items for your labeling needs and they even have international shipping available.  Additionally keep your eyes peeled because they plan on coming out with new designs in March!

**When I was going back through the website I noticed something I forgot to mention.  They Also have Zip it! tags...they are zipper pulls and new mini dots as well!

What Daddy Bear Loves and Daddy Bear Review and Giveaway!

What Daddy Bear Loves and the Daddy Teddy Bear is two great items offered at Daddy Scubs. It is a very short read and is very colorfully illustrated. The children love having the book read to them over and over again. Daddy Bear enjoys going on many adventures and loves to include his child in each and every one of them and at the end of the day Daddy Bear wants nothing more than to give his cub a big bear hug. I am sure your "cub" would love to have their "Daddy Bear" read this story with them as they cuddle the Daddy Bear stuffed teddy bear. The Daddy Bear is a soft small teddy bear that is very cuddly and sports a I'm the Daddy T shirt. The duo is so adorable. This book and Teddy Bear would make great daddy to be gifts as well as current daddy gifts.
