INNX dog car restraint safety seat belt tether


Riding with dogs in the car can be difficult. In my state all dogs must be either in a dog car seat or seat belted in in the car. I have a smaller dog, so we usually used a car seat. But I wanted to have another alternative. 
This stap is so easy to use. 
This is made of high quality nylon. It can be used for both small and large dogs. It is adjustable in length. Making it easy for you to allow the dog to sit, stand or lay down. 
You can NOT attach this safety belt to their collar. It must be used with a harness to prevent choking or neck injury. 

My Roxy loves going for a ride in the car and now can safely do so! 

I purchased this with a coupon in exchange for my review. All views are my own. 

Apple Certified 6FT Cord



Let's face it we all need extra cords. Who doesn't lose, break, or forget cords all the time. And buying direct from Apple can get expensive. 
We have 10 plus Apple products in the house and yet we are constantly fighting for a cord. 
These are Apple Certified. I like that the cord is long. I use this one in my car. Since I have my phone hanging on the windshield I need a cord that is longer to reach from my plug. 
This cord works well and in fact I have purchased a few more to have on hand. 



I received this cord in exchange for my honest review and all views are my own.

Why this book? Frugal cooking is in! Put your stockpile of inexpensive dried and canned beans to good use.

I was never one to eat a lot of beans. But when I got pregnant with my first, the doctor told me I needed to add more beans to my diet since I am not a big meat eater. 
I have come to love beans and was grateful to be able to review this book and have a chance to try some more recipes in exchange for my honest opinion.

If You Were Me and Lived in...Colonial America



My 8 year old was really excited to help me review this book. We went to Williamsburg 4 years ago. He was very into learning and remembering what we learned there. 

He read this out loud to me. He is going into 3rd grade and was able to read almost all of it by himself. 

He really enjoyed all that this book taught him. I liked how it was written in the perspective of the child.

This book is just one of a wonderful series of books. We are really looking forward to reading more of the series. 

The author also includes lots of additional information on his blog to help further teach and relate the topics. 

I was given a complementary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Mermaid Tail Swimwear Children Bikini Sets One-piece bathing suit



How adorable is this bathing suit? I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. 

Reminds me so much of Ariel from the Little Mermaid. 


This suit runs a little bit on the smaller size, but fits nicely. It is made very well and holds up well after washing. 

I will add a picture of my little girl wearing it....she would no sit still long enough to snap a pic! 

I made a little purple tulle skirt for her to wear over the suit in Disney when we go in August. 

This can be purchased on amazon and comes with the headband!

I purchased this bathing suit at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Mosquito Repellent Patch Natural Lemon Eucalyptus




Having a child who is allergic to mosquito bites makes it very hard to enjoy being outside. My 10 year old gets an allergic infection when he gets bit. And the kicker is he doesn't react for 24 hours. 
He also has asthma, so its very hard to find a spray/lotion that he can use to keep the bugs at bay. 

I was worried and excited to try this patch out. Worried that it wouldn't work or that there would be a strong odor that would kick is asthma into high gear. I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened that package. The smell is not over powering. 

While I still can not trust any product 100% for my 10 year old, I am really happy to be able to use these for him. So far so good. I just opened a patch and stuck it in the middle of his back and another on his shorts. 

My husband also used them while doing yard work and was bite free! 

These will be added to our outdoor routines! 

From the manufacturer:


  • MOSQUITO REPELLENT: Help stop mosquito bites and fight off bugs and insects with our mosquito repellent patch. The patch can be applied to your skin, clothing, lawn chair or any other surface. It helps prevent bug bites and lowers risk of being infected by mosquito-borne viruses.

It is also Non-Toxic and Deet Free. The patch is non-transdermal which means the essential oils do not come in contact with the skin.

    COMFORTABLE & EASY TO APPLY: The patch is activated by scratching the surface, which breaks the microcapsules and releases the scent of natural essential oils. The patch is than peeled off from the cardboard backing and applied to you skin, clothing or any other surface. It's as simple as sticking on a bandage.

    LONG LASTING ON THE GO PROTECTION: Small enough to carry in a purse and fit's in your back pocket. Our mosquito repellent is ideal for all outdoor activities. Whether you're hiking through the woods, or hosting a party in your back yard. Our all natural mosquito repellent is long lasting and effective.

    The Mosquito Repellent Patch by Justified Laboratories is a patch that contains microcapsules filled with lemon eucalyptus and essential oils. The patch is activated by scratching the surface, which breaks the microcapsules and releases the scent of natural essential oils. Once activated, you may apply the patch to the desired area of the body, clothing, bedside or other surface. The essential oils are effective up to 8 hours after activation. Each foil pouch contains 12 patches which equals 96 hours of total protection.
     
I received these pouches for free for my honest review. The views are 100% my own. 

I will be purchasing more in the future!

Congratulations to The Little Gym of Wayne!


The Little Gym of Wayne is celebrating their 10 year anniversary. 
We could not be prouder to have been a part of the gym since their doors opened! 
We saw in ad in the newspaper when Nathan was just 4 months old. Thought, let's check them out...it will be a great thing for John and Nate to do together. 
We walked through that door that very first Open House and we fell in love. It was such a caring and nurturing place. 
Coach Kathy met us at the door with enthusiasm and love! She welcomed us right into their Little Gym family. 
We were sitting on the big red mat when another family walked in...they came right over and sat with us. Our boys clicked. They were smiling and laughing at each other. Both our families signed that day to begin classes. 
My family found not only a gym for Nathan to learn and grow, a best friend for Nathan and wonderful friends for our family, but the most caring, loving and passionate family~ The Monicelli's! 
The Little Gym of Wayne is truly an extension of our family. 
10 years and four children later, my kids look forward to their gym time every week. 
Come and join my family at The Little Gym of Wayne

Bestseller Baby Ring Sling Carrier - Ocean Lanna





I have never used/tried a sling carrier before. I was always very intimidated by them. I was so afraid that I would not put it on properly and I would drop the baby. 

I was given an opportunity to try the Mamaway Baby sling at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review. 

Well I fear that no more! This carrier is so easy to use! 

This is an all around baby carrier. It can be used from newborn. 

Mamaway is a great hands free sling. Its great and for breastfeeding. (another thing that intimidates me with some carriers. I don't like people to know that I am breastfeeding, I like being as discreet as possible. 

This carrier is one size fits all, which means it was so easy to go from me wearing the baby to my husband wearing her. 

I love the patented pocket design, so easy to take on the go! The ring makes it easy to hang on the stroller. 

This is 100% cotton and machine washable. ( Cold water in a laundry bag and hang dry)
