Product Review {Safety Tat}

I want to preface this post by stating that I received no compensation at all from Safety Tat for this review (not even free product). This is 100% my opinion on a product I love.

I ordered Safety Tats a few years ago when I first heard about them. Cole, my oldest, was about 1 at the time and I thought they were the best invention ever. I now use them on both kids whenever we go to a large public place where there is a chance we could get separated from each other. I keep my Tats in my camera case because I figure if we're going somewhere I take my camera then there is a chance I'll need one. Thankfully, my children have never gotten lost, but I am always glad that I put a Tat on them. I've had numerous parents and grandparents ask about them and I'm always happy to refer them back to the Safety Tat website. If you're looking for a little peace of mind, or a great gift idea for a mom of young kids, check out Safety Tats.

Shutterfly Holiday Cards

Have your ordered your holiday cards yet? It seems like every year the time between Halloween and Christmas goes quicker and quicker. I've already designed and I'm almost ready to order our Christmas cards from Shutterfly. This will be my 3rd year using Shutterfly for our Christmas cards and I've never been disappointed.

If you aren't familiar with Shutterfly then you should take a second to check them out. Their Christmas Photo Card collection is stunning this year with tons of new designs to choose from. While you're there check out some of their other items that make great gifts. Last year I made a calendar for my mom and mother-in-law and they were a HUGE hit. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve for this year. I've already ordered my ornament with pictures of the kids and the year. They make an excellent keepsake.

These are the cards we sent out last year. Absolutely beautiful thanks to Shutterfly. I can't wait to get this year's card in my hot little hands so they can be ready to go!

Olympus Stylus Tough Digital Camera...

Since we're in the throws of summer and coming up on a long holiday weekend, I thought I would take a second and do a review of my favorite point and shoot camera. All of these pictures were taken with the Olympus Stylus Tough Digital Camera. I love this camera. It is waterproof, smash proof, freeze proof, kid proof and it takes regular still pictures as well as video. I love that I can let the kids use it and I pretty much don't have to worry about anything happening to it. If you're looking for a good quality camera that is fun for the whole family, I would highly recommend this one.

Lysol No Touch Hand Soap System...

So I had some coupons that made the new Lysol No Touch Hand Soap System close to free. So I thought we would give it a try. That was a month ago and I'm ready to give it my review. I've read a lot of feedback on this product from people who didn't really like it. I must say that we LOVE it. Cole (who is almost 4) has learned how to use it perfectly. No extra soap drops down and he knows exactly when to move his hand. If your kids are going to play around with it, then I wouldn't recommend it. But, if you can teach them to use it correctly then I would highly recommend it.

Product Review: Roll It Paint

A few weeks ago Cole's Nana brought over a pack of some new Roll It Paint. Cole really liked them. They didn't work very well on thin paper, but on thicker craft paper and our toilet paper rolls they worked great.

LeapFrog Tag Reading System Activity Cards...

Cole recieved the LeapFrog® Tag Reading System for his 3rd birthday and I must say, it has been a huge hit. With the Tag Reader he got a set of National Geographic Kids: Activity Cards - Land Animals which are by far his favorite. They tell you the animal name, you can hear what sound they make and they also tell you some random facts about the animals. The activity cards came with a horrible plastic pin in the top to hold them together. This made it so that the cards could be fanned out, but not flipped over. They were very frustrating to use. Using a pair of pliers I removed the plastic pin and replaced it with a binder ring, which is available at any office supply store. Now the cards move more freely and can be flipped over as well. Cole has found the new design much more user friendly. Santa has already purchased the National Geographic Kids: Activity Cards - Birds and Sea Animals for his stocking and I'm sure he'll be equally as pleased with that set of cards.

Bounce Dryer Bars...

A few weeks ago some coupons for the new Bounce Dryer Bar came in the mail. They were from Vocalpoint, which is a site that one of my favorite deal blogs recommended. Then I saw there were additional Target coupons in the paper for the same item. Since you can combine a Target coupon with a Manufacturer coupon at Target it made the bars extremely cheap. So I decided to give them a try. Well I must say I'm impressed. I've been using them for a few weeks now and I love them. I love the scent (not too strong) and I love that I don't have to remember to put a dryer sheet in with my laundry. I may even try sticking one on the inside of our diaper pail when the new baby comes. I think it will keep it smelling fresh for a while. It almost makes me want to go and buy a whole case of them! So my verdict is that with a coupon (or two) these are a great buy and a great product. Enjoy!
