Your Memories in Print! AdoramaPix Photo Books Review & Giveaway

Knowing that I take a lot of photographs, sometimes I am asked what I do with all the images. I fully admit I am terrible about getting them printed. But recently I have really wanted to get the best images bound in books. I have done a photobook review before so I am skeptical that there would be any difference when AdoramaPix asked me to try their book. Adorama is a very well known name in the photography world for outstanding quality in prints. I was given a book in my choice of size and pages. I chose an 8X10 [...]

If you have kids you know they go through tons of clothes. I have three children myself and its very hard to dress my daughter in appropriate fashions that are CUTE. I refuse to buy her crap from discount stores with words like “juicy” on the tush of pants. She is barely 7 years old! I stumbled on The Children’s Place a couple months back and they have sent my kids clothes for me to review with them. Most recently we reviewed a few pieces from the Americana collection, 4th of July themed. I had planned to take photos with [...]

When I think of summer I think of water fun. This summer takes the cake with fun. The wonderful folks at Hayneedle sent my family the Great White Wild Slide by Blast Zone for review… Here’s the video I made showcasing it: This slide, as with other Blast Zone slide works on continuous air. It comes with its own blower, grounding stakes, and carrying case for storage. You pretty much unroll it, plug it in, blow it up, stake it, and then HAVE FUN! When you are done make sure its completely dry before storing it! Its best to place [...]

We have a pretty large backyard with some woods. There is a lot of walking and exploring that can be done at our home. We also have a 20 month old toddler who runs so we needed a solution to talk with him in the wooded terrain and we needed a backpack carrier. Kelty is a company of great outdoor items including camping tents, sleeping bags, all terrain strollers and more. Kelty sent me the FC 3.0 Backpack Carrier to review for my event. Tech Specs: Safety Features: • Auto-deploy kickstand (US Patent 5,626,271) • Five-point, adjustable child’s harness • [...]

I have lived in the country all my life and growing up and even now as an adult there is no better fun in the summer than camping! I love it and always have. Eureka! Tents is a company I found while searching the internet and doing research on tents. We never had our own tent prior so I needed education. Eureka’s site was easy to navigate and thanks to easy to understand illustrations I could find out what kind of tent suited my family of 5. (Plus the inevitable friends and family that will visit for Colton’s birthday next [...]

Ok I am going to make a confession. I have been a fan of Shrek since the stinky guy was created. Yeah the movies have some toilet humor but its funny. And because I think I am a great mom I enjoy watching the movies with my 12 and 7 year olds. And they laugh too! I want to take my daughter to the newest movie, Shrek Forever After. She LOVED Shrek the Third, I am sure she will love the new one. Mom Central, on behalf of Activision, sent me the Shrek Forever After video game for Playstation 3 [...]

A new week, a new flavor! This week I got to try Strawberry Kiwi. This is probably my favorite. The kids liked it so much that all of the water was gone by today and I just got it yesterday! If there is one thing my kids won’t give me a hard time about its fruit. They absolutely love fruit. For Colton’s birthday I am going to make a fruit pizza just like my mom makes. She uses cookie dough, cream cheese/marshmallow “sauce” and different fruit toppings. It was the best pizza I ever had and I am getting her [...]

This year’s FIFA  Soccer (football) World Cup is in South Africa and runs from June 11th -July 11th. EA Sports sent me 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa for Playstation 3 to review and share with the fine people who read my blog. What can I say about this game? THE COLORS AND GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING. PS3 is awesome in its own right but we got a big screen HDTV earlier this year and this game absolutely took advantage of that. You begin the game much like any other sports game by picking your team and customizing your player. They [...]
