WOOORAAAHHH!!! And Policy Info

Got Woopra back on my computer! Now if only I could get one review done a week that would be SUPERFLY! I miss blogging so much.  What I'm able to type is so spacey that I wish I had more time to spend on one subject in each post.

So for those that are looking for reviews from a mom with two boys ages 4 and almost 3 please don't hesitate to email me, caleenna at gmail dot com. I am able to check email mostly on the weekends so send it Friday and you will get a response by late Monday night.  Also from the time I receive the product or the time I receive confirmation of the review it will start the week of using the product, website or what have you.  Then on that last day I will compile on my notes and type up the review, it will sit for a day so that I may come back to it and reread it before posting.  I will also send you, the vendor, a link to the review so that you may do as you please with it.  I will have this posted on the PR page of my site as well so it will be in on spot at all times.

This will be my policy from now and until I can afford to have internet at my own home.  If you have any concerns or questions please email me at the above address.

In other news, my family has been sick the chills the aches you name it we are now starting to get over it but I just went to the doctor today and I have a slight case of bronchitis. Icky stuff I tell you.  The boys though seem to be doing alright and I'm sure they won't get worse.

Gotta go home and call the parents of the child that I babysit and let them know that I now have antibiotics to help me get better.

Enjoy you Monday Night.

You Can Make This

I've been asked to review the Personalized Name Pillows Ebook  from You Can Make This.com.  Let just say it was easy to read just like it was easy to read the tie and apron Ebooks I was sent.

They look really neat, and if and when I ever have the money and time to buy the materials you better believe I'd make one each for my two boys.  Of course I would let them pick out the fabric that want.

Connor would probably pick John Deere, Cars, Transformers, Spiderman, or something animals.  James would probably pick John Deere or SpongeBob.

For your chance to own your very own Ebook, which I've been given the chance to giveaway to TWO READERS.  Your main entry is to tell me how many you make and for who.  Second entry would be to tell me what those pillows might look like.

Contest: Name Your Tune

Name Your Tune contacted me to do a review of their CD, which by the way is the cutest thing I've heard. I'm so glad they contacted me. I love the CD and so do my boys.

Having a personalized CD with your kids name in every song is a great thing. They learn their name as well as the song. I had one CD made with both Connor and James' names on the front of the disc as well as in the songs. Now the thing about this one is that every other song is either James' name or Connor's. You can get multiple CD's with each of your child's name or like I did on CD both names.

Now the first night I put the CD in my computer and played the Instrumental Lullaby and my boys were asleep within ten minutes they were both asleep. Although I did have to turn off the all the lights and the television. Here's a little vlog about it. I know it's dark but you'll hear and see my boys along with my computer.

I've been given the chance to give one of my readers a chance to win their own CD. I know that you know you like to have personalized items for your children such as blankets, clothes, and room decor. For your first entry is go to Name Your Tune and come back here to tell me who you would have this personalized for.

Tiny Prints Past Valentine's Day Photo Contest

Ends January 30th HERE

Contest: Eyes Cream Shades*COMMENTS WILL BE PUBLISHED TONIGHT*

Remember this post about the new line from Eyes Cream Shades. Well I've got your chance right here to win your very own pair or two. I have boys so the two that are pictured in that post is what we received. So far the boys love their new sunglasses. They have yet to wear them outside but have worn them inside for the time being.

These are just two from their new line that my boys have received and enjoy.

Choco Ice and Ocean Ice.

Eyes Cream Shades new line will consist of two different models, Iced and Wrap Start along with a third called Cat Eye Walk; Grape, Choco and Ocean Ice, Vanilla Malt, Blue Crush and Cotton Candy are newest additions that will be coming out January 25th.

The one thing I love about these sunglasses is that they protect against the different kinds of UV, ultraviolet rays. From the brochure that I have received it says that scientists have determined that most eye damage occurs before the age of 8. The lenses are made of tough polycarbonate, the safest material made today.

These sunglasses can be worn on children as young as six months old.

There are five eye problems that UV Rays can contribute to. They are cataracts, photokeratitis, skin cancer, and pterygium. Your first entry is to tell me which one of the five I've left out.

Thanks to all who entered. It was fun.

**CLOSED** Giveaway: Label Daddy *CLOSED*

I recently had the chance to try out Label Daddy's All Purpose Labels. So far I have put them on Connor's cups. Connor likes the fact that he has his name on something.

I have run the cups through the dishwasher because they are said to be dishwasher safe along with microwave safe, and the label is still there.

I love these labels. We have recently bought the boys their own clothes hampers and I have put a label on Connors for his clothes and a on James' for his clothes, since I won some from Trisha of Sweet n Sassy Girls. So not only did I get a set to review I won another set. Thanks Trisha.

Thanks to Sara of Momma Findings I was able to have this chance to try out these labels for my self and so far they have proven to be the best kind of labels for anything because the can withstand anything.

Label Daddy has labels for those kids who have allergies. I'm sure there are parents who get tired of putting either new labels on their childs cups and dishes for the babysitter or daycare provider or even for the teachers at school. It gets very tiresome after awhile.

They also provide labels for clothes, which I think would be a wonderful help with those that have multiples, twins, triplets, quads and so forth. Also shoe labels so they don't get lost or mismatched.

You can view some of their news on their blog.

So for your chance to win a got to their Label Daddy's Blog and leave them a comment on one of their posts leave a link to the post you commented on. That's entry one and must be done before the following are completed.

These OPTIONAL extra entries:

-Follow my blog
-Subscribe via reader or email.
-Follow me on twitter

This Contest is now live from now until Midnight. THE FIRST ENTRY MUST BE DONE THOUGH for anything else to count. I MUST HAVE PROOF THAT YOU COMMENTED on Label Daddy's Blog!! You can have unlimited entries all afternoon/night. Then tomorrow I will random.org the entries and post the winner.
