Dr. Oetker with a giveaway **Closed**

I love to bake, I could not cook ever again and let Kris do it all, hes a great cook, but I love to bake! The best part is, I am good at it! From scratch, from a package, any way, I can definitely bake! While I prefer to bake from scratch it isn't always possible. How awsome would these pancakes be for taking camping, add milk, shake and your done :)

Kristina isn't to big of a fan of sandwiches for lunch, she does enjoy pb and jam sandwich but not everyday. What I usually do is bake up a huge batch of muffins and wrap and freeze them in twos or individually. Then every morning when I make her lunch I through in a muffin and cookie. Then I put everything else in with a ice pack and she is good to go!

Sometimes we just don't have time to do up a giant batch of muffins from scratch but I will not buy premade ones. Whats an easier way? Dr. Oetker has some amazing Shaker muffins! Its a mix in a bottle, you add milk to the line on the bottle, and shake. So easy and so yummy! You just pour the mix into your muffin tins and bake. I loved how simple it was and Kristina loved them! They were perfect to top us up for muffins this week while I was busy with my Holiday baking!

Last night we had some of the Dr. Oetker pizza and it was so good. Honestly the best frozen pizza I have ever had. I thought it was a bit smaller than others I had but was so yummy. I also saw them in a flyer last week for $8 for 2 of them so they are also a great deal! I will definitely be picking up more of these :)

Dr. Oetker has a giveaway for one of my readers! You can win a gift basket full of $50 worth of Dr. Oetker products and free coupons!!!

To Enter:

Go to Dr. Oetker and tell me what your favorite flavour of muffin shakers you would like to try the most

Holiday Gift Guide - Zip Bin with a Giveaway **Closed**

The ZipBin® Story

A "neat" story! Could messiness be the mother of invention? ZipBin® storage originated when my inventive 10-year-old son, Max, and I put our heads together for some true "out-of-the-box" problem solving. Like many boys, Max loves plastic building blocks. And he likes to dump them on the floor-CRASHHH!! Of course, I loved to see Max play, but I groaned when I heard that loud mess of blocks spilling everywhere. Neither Max nor I liked cleaning up all those little pieces.

Inspired by our problem, we thought creatively about how to solve it until... what if Max's toy bin unzipped to a play mat and zipped back up, capturing his toys? That would take the work out of having fun. It would be neat! And that's the name we chose for the company - Neat-Oh!® - that would introduce ZipBin® storage to the world

Brandon has so many small toys they are hard to contain in one area! He has his animals, his dinosaur collection, lots of cars and trucks and more! Its hard to find a place to store them all without having bins all over the house and plain old bins are just tacky! ZipBin has come up with not only a solution but a great solution at that.



ZipBins are just that. They are bins that zip up with great designs on them that when you unzip them you can use them as a playmat. I love the idea. There is one on its way to us for Brandon's dinosaurs but I didn't want to wait to share this with all of you!!



I love the idea of playmats but don't want to have it out all of the time and bins are good at keeping pieces away but can be boring so this ties it all in together! They have so many different ones to choose from. Bigger ones and smaller ones and ones for lego, hot wheels, animals, dinosaurs, dolls, fairys, unicorns and more! A great gift for under the tree!


ZipBin has offered up any one of the following ZipBins for one lucky winner

1) LEGO® CITY FIRE ZipBin® Toy Box & Playmat $24.99
2) LEGO Head ZipBin® Toy Box & Playmat $12.99
3) LEGO Racers ZipBin® Toolbox & Playmat $17.99
4) Hot Wheels™ IMPAVIDO 1® ZipBin® Racecase $19.99
5) ZipBin® Bring Along Doll House $19.99

Kraft Sizzling salads

I don't know about all of you but I have been baking like a crazy person for the last two weeks. I just can't keep up with it because my family has been eating it just as fast as I can make it! That is the point I know but it would be nice to feel like I am ahead of the game!

Because I have been so buys baking, and of course all of the dishes that come along with it, I have been looking for whatever I can find to make easy, simple, and of course healthy not in a cardboard box kind of dinners!

Kraft Sizzling Salads has 4 new kits available that is what you base your meal around. My favorite is the caesar kit which includes a cracked black pepper cooking sauce and some classic caesar dressing! We love making chicken caesar salad and Kris has been using it to make the kids spaghetti with caesar dressing! They love it even more than regular spaghetti!

Have you seen them in the stores? Have you bought one and what did you make with it?

Holiday Gift Guide 2010 - My favorites of the year!

So I have a little ole $5 Walmart Gift Card kicking around in my wallet and its only good in the US so I thought that while sharing my favorites with you I would giveaway my gift card too! Just read through and comment and let me know something else I reviewed this year that you loved! You can live in Canada or the US but keep in mind its only valid in the US! I will draw the winner on the 16th at 8pm!

My favorites!!!

#1
So I think that my first favorite is an obvious one, I use it a few times a week and think that I love it a little bit more every time! Its my Dyson vacuum! Its really sent from Heaven and makes my cleaning house routine so much easier! The pivoting ball is obviously awesome, the fact that it never looses suction, seriously, and the fact that it actually gets everything up off my floor the first time is the best! Vacuuming shouldn't take all day, or hurt your back, and with the Dyson you get everything you could want in a vacuum, plus some!


#2
This one is more recent, the Little Looster stool that wraps around the toilet so that Brandon can get up on his own to use the big toilet. It doesn't get in anyone elses way when they need to go :) Seriously the best mom invented product I have come across! We have been able to get rid of our potty and he only uses the big toilet now, one less things for me to have to clean now!!


#3
Speesees, its hard to pin down which clothes are favorites of mine but Speesees is definitely one of them! They are so soft and cozy, organic and comfy. Brandon rarley wears jeans, mostly he wears sweats, and Speesees has some super cute ones that he lives in! They go up to a size 4t, be sure to check them out!


#4
Misikko's hair straightners! We use it all the time! Kristina has super crazy curly hair and its such a pain to style, unless we flat iron it! Its so easy to do with our Misikko flat iron, it heats up super fast and does a great job on Kristina's crazy hair!


#5
Bean Bag Factory! The kids play with their beanbags everyday! They are something that will last for ages and are so much fun. They don't just sit in them either! They jump off the couch onto them, they hide under them, the use them as islands and the floor is water and they jump from island to island! These are definitely a great investment! After 6 or so months they still look brand new, and did we ever put them through the wringer, that says good quality to me!


#6
M&M Meats is a huge favorite in our house! I could eat an entire apple crisp to my self and my hubby can down a platter of their scallops and bacon in one sitting! They are a staple for us! Kris takes the single serve meals and the stuffed chicken breasts for lunch all the time and I can't ever have enough in the freezer because we go through it all so fast!

#7
Agoo activewear. Kristina doesn't like jeans at all. She is either in a dress or in yoga pants, everyday! We can't find jeans to fit her but she could care less anyways! She is happiest in yoga pants and our Agoo pants, capris and tees have lasted so well! They hold up great, are easy to wash and fit so nicely! I would make her entire wardrobe Agoo if I could!

#8
Schleich! Brandon is a huge dinosaur fan, I mean huge! I think this Christmas morning he will be most excited about the box of 4 Schleich dinosaurs! They are a great price on Chapters.com and you can find Schleich at many toy stores! We love them and look for them everywhere! I am actually in the middle of having my favorite toy store starting to carry them!

#9
Pedipeds! We have lots of shoes that we love but Pedipeds are definitely at the top of my list! They are durable, some are washable, and best of all great for your kids feet! It certainly doesn't hurt that they are cute too! They have definitely done their homework to know what is good for kids feet and how to create a shoe that works well for them!

#10
Umi is my favorite shoe for Kristina, we love them for Brandon too of course but they sent Kristina some hot pink boots back in September and we are in love with them. They are butter soft and so comfortable for her! She never complained once about having to break them in or them hurting her. She wears them all the time and loves them!

#11
UV Skinz are an everyday thing in our house in the Summer! We live in them, they are cute, breathable, cool, comfortable, and easy on the wallet. Best part, they are UV protecting! Its a cute shirt or outfit that you put on your kids, or yourself, and they protect your skin from the sun better than any sunscreen can. Think about how much you would save on sunscreen if you were covered in a UV Skinz and only had to do your face!

None of this was paid for in any way or could be bought! This are my own thoughts and opinions and I just wanted to share some of my favorites with you!

Here is my Holiday hint for you all! Buy used, and watch for sales. I guess its to hints but they are great ones! I start shopping usually in July when things are on sale and pick up bits and bobs here and there. This year I actually made a list of what I had bought so that I could keep track and not over do it like I usually do. I always have some used gifts under the tree for the kdis! This year it was just mostly for Brandon but I did pick up Kristina a used puzzle. Kids don't know the difference and love whatever you get them. Whether it be from a consignment store, garage sale or off a swap and shop on Facebook I love a deal!

Holiday Gift Guide - Mabels Labels

Have you started your wrapping yet? Well I did about an hour and a half next door at my mother in laws and got the bulk of it done! I love sitting down with my mother in law every year with a cup of tea and hanging out, chatting, and showing her all of the cool things that I picked up for the kids! She has even taught me a thing or two about wrapping. When I think I have cut the paper to small or it just won't fit she shows me how we can make it work! She is certainly handy to have around :)

One thing I have learned over the years is that the tape on to and from stickers are a waste of time and tape. The best thing you can get for your to and from tags is stickers and Mabels Labels has some great ones! I just got mine to say To: and then Love the Watsons and have some snowflakes in the background, on green, blue and red!!! I love it. Now I don't have to fill in our names again and again and again and Kristina, who loves to help me wrap, can just fill in the to portion!

It just takes another step out of the whole wrapping process and makes it that much easier for me. I love everything that makes anything easier for me!!! Be sure to check out Mabels Labels and all of their amazing labels! I would love to see about $100 towards Mabels Labels under my tree!!! I am so organized and love organizing things so anything to help me with that is awesome in my books! Be sure to check them out!!

Holiday Gift Guide - Luvali with a Giveaway **Closed**

Shirley and Jacqueline are a mother and daughter team with a passion for design, a drive to create and a love for working together. Our products are convertible, reversible, changeable…and truly lovely or “luvali”.

While packing for a much needed vacation, we were struggling with too many handbags and too many shoes! Our suitcases just wouldn’t close. Needless to say, a second suitcase was required since going with one handbag and one pair of shoes just wasn’t an option. It was at that moment that the entrepreneurial light bulb went on. Why not create one handbag with interchangeable slipcovers (we call them slips) that can change with your wardrobe, your mood or the season? Bring one handbag, lots of REVERSIBLE slips and you have many looks, day or night, for your vacation or your cruise! To top it off, no need to empty your contents to change your handbag AND if your handbag gets soiled, just slide on another slip or reverse it-fabulous!!

After countless visits to fabric stores and many late night tea parties, Luvali Convertibles was born (and so were Jacqueline and Shirley as newfound mompreneurs and grandmapreneurs respectively)!

We have since been inspired to expand Luvali Convertibles by the little people in their lives- Ali, Jack and Owen. Luvali has grown to include some wonderful convertible, reversible and changeable items for babies and kids at Luvali Baby & Kids. So unique, delightful and charming – we know you’ll just “luv” ‘em.

I LOVE purses!!! I seriously can't get enough of them and the worst part is I usually get sick of purses before I wear them out! It seems like such a waste of money to only use a purse for 6 months at most before I am so bored of it that I get rid of it. If I really like it I keep it in the closet and bring it out now and again but mostly once I am sick of it, I am done with it. I also can't stand changing purses. Its never a quick thing, you have to take everything out, go through it all, find new places for it all in the new purse and then put it all in. That's the other reason that I don't go back to old purses often. It may be what I need for the night or a week but its to much work to change purses for that long!

Luvali is the answer to mine, and probably your, purse prayers! There is one main bag, in black or brown that you start with. You can fill it up and use it like that or go one step further. You can buy a convertible cover for it. You are getting two more purses and no where near the cost of two more purses and you don't have the hassle of "changing" purses! You just slip on the cover, to whichever side you want it on now and you are good to go!

There are lots of compartments in the purse, I got the classic convertible purse with the blue suede shoes in chocolate and love it. There is a place for everything. I am used to having more of a hobo bag so I think that I would really love the tote bag but the classic does hold all of my stuff, its just full. Luvali doesn't just carry these amazing purses either! They have 100% organic cotton reversible onsies, sunhats, and diaper bag accessories so that you can turn the tote into a diaper bag!

Luvali has offered up the chance for one of you to win on of their bags! They are looking to grown their facebook page! If they get to 2000 facebook fans they will give one of you a bag!!! So the only entries here are to like their facebook page here, and you can get one more entry for inviting your friends. They need a lot more fans to get to 2000 but if you all like them and invite all of your lady friends we should be able to do it!!!!

Holiday Gift Guide - Sprogs with a Giveaway **Closed**

Sprogs was created by Nicola, a stay at home mum to three kids (5 and under - yeeeesh). She wanted to create a site where you can find cool accessories for kids and those elusive hard to find items (like camisoles for girls!!).

Sprogs also strives to find products that are made by mums! Since it's women who spend the majority of the "hard work" with their children, they will be the ones creating practical products that will try and make our life easier, or at least more stylish.We're looking for your items too Dads!!!

What's a "sprog"?? Well, as defined by Wiki says it's a "a slang term for a child" - used in Nicola's native country England.


We were sent an awesome stocking stuffer for Kristina this year from Sprogs! Piggy Paint!!! We have used Piggy Paint before and are huge fans of it! It really doesn't smell, at all, and comes in some awesome colors! There is even some great new Piggy Paint nail art out now and its so cute! Kristina is all about the nail art! Her granny picked some up a few weeks ago and Kristina loves it!

Stocking stuffers are hard to find for older kids, Brandon is happy with some cars, planes and little animals and people. Cheap and fun and he loves it all! He keeps pointing at his stocking and saying candy so even if it was filled with candy he would be happy. Kristina is another story however. Some candy is great and then small toys that she actually likes are hard to come by. I find that at this age, 8, she doesn't actually play with a lot of toys. She loves dolls and stuffies but nothing really toy like. She loves makeup so Piggy Paint is a perfect fit.

Sprogs also has some other great stocking stuffers! They have learning chopsticks, hair accessories, feeding utensils, belts, jewelry, and even some super cute superhero cuffs!!! Sprogs has offered up two colors of Piggy Paint and some Piggy Paint nail art for one lucky winner!

To Enter:

Go to Sprogs and tell me what two colors you would choose if you won

Holiday Gift Guide - Momma with a Giveaway **Closed**

Innovation, technology, movement and colors. mOmma is a revolutionary line of baby products that encourages baby to discover their surroundings with products that are unique in shape, movement and color, thus transforming each moment of your baby’s mealtime into a moment of growth, learning and pleasure.

We were sent a developmental feeding set and sippy cup from mOmma and its so awesome looking! Brandon is a little bit to old to use something like this but we are going to give it to my Sister In Law for her baby shower! Its design is awesome, nice looking but useful!

The mOmma Developmental Meal Set works with your baby to increase motor skills & enjoy feeding time.

Stage 1: (4m+) Plate & Spoon. Plate designed with non-slip and non-tip base. Two compartments separate foods, promote taste differentiation and develop dipping skills. Spoon with soft tip is easy on baby’s gums. Rocking base entertains while keeping utensil upright and preventing contact with soiled surfaces.

Stage 2: (6m+) Fork with rigid, yet soft, prong promotes normal use of utensils by baby.

• Plate – 1.75” H x 7.75” D

• Spoon – 4.25” H x 1.75” D

• Fork - 4.25” H x 1.75” D

• Round ergonomic shape

• Safe and hygienic

• Dishwasher Safe

• BPA & Phthalate FREE

• Developmental growth

• Great Shower Gift!

I love how the cups, bottles and utensils all have weight in the bottom so they kind of bobble and roll around without tipping over! As soon as you pick up the set you can tell that its not a cheap, going to fall apart and chip right away kind of set. Its going to last you the life of your child or even children! That's huge! Best part of all is its BPA and Phthalate free, that's a must for me. If it doesn't say it I don't buy it!


Be sure to check out the mOmma line at Ginsey and all of the other great products they have!! They even have one developmental meal set put aside for one lucky winner!

To Enter:

Go to Ginsey and tell me another brand that they carry!

Holiday Gift Guide - Little Looster

If there is something you are desperate to find that just isn't out there Little Looster shows you that you can do it yourself! Monica Mylet, mommy of 3 came up with the design and need after parenting 3 kiddos through the potty training process! She knew what she wanted and went about making it happen! She even kept it local finding local companies to help create, package and more!



What did she invent? Its called the Little Looster and its the best potty training aid that I have found! Its essentially a stool for the toilet so that your little one can get up and down themselves as well as have somewhere to rest there little legs while using the loo. The best part, you don't need to move it when you need to use the loo! It wraps around the toilet with lots of room for the kids but doesn't get in your way at all! Trust me, I have been using it for a few weeks! We have even since gotten rid of our potty!


Brandon feels very confident on the Little Looster and even Kris doesn't feel like he needs to move it out of his way! We even just used it as a stool for Kris when we had to replace the tub surround lol!



I have a discount for you from Little Looster, use code DFJ2 for $5 off until 12/15/10 and be sure to check out this site to see the TV comercial about it and you get free shipping there too!

Holiday Gift Guide - CSN Stores

How far along are you in your Christmas shopping yet? I am almost done! I have to finish a few crafts with the kids, wrap those and do up a nice gift basket for my brother and other than that I am done, bought, wrapped and done! Yaaaa me lol! I hate being under the gun in December and getting all stressed out and then just buying something because its easy not because its what that person would love or want!

Something else that Brandon would love to get for Christmas is a backpack, just like his Sissys! He watches her put hers on every morning and would love to fill one with toys and lug it around like Sissy. How cute is this one? Check out CSN Stores for some great Kids Backpacks and make sure you follow them on Facebook!

I got $100 to spend at Novica and picked out the pearl flower necklace and this set of a table runner and place mats! They are gifts for Christmas and I can't wait until they are opened because I know that they will love them!

Its a real feel good gift because you can see that you are helping out artisans, fairly, around the world and helping to make their life better as well!
