Energizer® Ultimate® Lithium batteries Giveaway

Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AA batteries, now improved to last up to 9X longer. I was excited to be given the opportunity to test out the new Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AA batteries and I was very impressed with their performance.

I tested them in my flash for my camera and I noticed a difference in how long my flash functioned. Usually I can do about 2-3 sessions and I need to replace the batteries but after my last 3 shoots the Ultimate Lithium batteries are still going strong.

• If you test the batteries and then visit the Ratings and Reviews section on the Energizer website and leave a review you will  entered into a sweepstakes to win an Energizer Ultimate Lithium prize pack

Energizer is confident you will be impressed with the longer life of their Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries that they have offered one of my readers two 4-packs of Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries.

Fresh Produce Clothing

I just discovered a great new clothing company that makes super trendy clothing.
 Fresh Produce Clothing has a great summer line of clothing.

After being offered the opportunity to review a summer item I looked a this really cute Womens t-shirt

I had almost decided to review it until I saw the adorable Tunics. I had one in mind till I saw the tanks. I ended up picking the Vintage Slub Tank and am very happy with my choice.

As you know I am over 6 months pregnant so right now I am not able to model any clothing. I can say this is an adorable tank and I am super excited to wear it after the baby gets here.

 Fresh Produce Clothing is a perfect choice for this summers wardrobe.  With so many choices and quick shipping you won't be disappointed.

Catalogue App by TheFind.com...My final thoughts

I am still loving Catalogue App by TheFind.com. I use it on my Android phone and its great to pull together my own personal favorites from various brands into one location. I am able to check local store availability, take a peek at the retailers sale emails and, “using Camera View”, can even see how an item would look in my own house.

I get store emails that allow me to obtain the most recent deals and promotions. Plus I am not wasting paper but instead using a “green” alternative to the classic catalog shopping.

 If you haven't checked out the Catalogue app yet, you are missing out.

 They regularly feature some great stores including
Best Buy
 Lego
Macy's
 Red Envelope
 Sears
The Land of Nod
 Toys R Us

Shane loves looking at the Lego's Catalogue with me and I really like Macy's so I check out their deals and promotions daily.

 You can also check out a Facebook version of the App HERE

Tommee Tippee Explora Sippy Cup Review and Giveaway

I was very excited for Shane to try the Tommee Tippee Explora Sippy/Drink Cups.

Although Shane doesn't use sippy cups anymore. I still require he uses Drink cups when he has things like grape juice or in the car. I really love the drinking cups so much, I will be buying the sippy cups for the new baby.

Some of the features I like

 PVC-Free, BPA Free, Phthalate-free.
 They are Microwave Safe and Dishwasher-safe and easy to clean.

 Shane really likes the cups. It is really easy for him to drink out of and due to the designs by age, it is age appropriate. So the 2 year old plus designed cups make him feel like he is drinking out of a big boy cup and not something a baby would use. He has no problems getting the liquid out and no leaks. Some of the other cups we have used have leaked but not the Tommee Tippee Explora Sippy Cups.

 I really suggest you check these cups out. They have designed ones that are perfect for each age. You can see in the picture chart below.

Tommee Tipppee Sippy Cups are now sold at Target stores nationwide and at Target.com.




Tommee Tippee has been kind enough to offer one of my readers a set of sippy cups.

Important Baby Recall

First off I would like to say I am a huge fan of Kolcraft. I have many of their baby items and know they are a family owned company that provides some of the best baby items I have owned.

With that being said things happen to the best of us and Kolcraft has announced a voluntary recall on 4 models of the Tender Vibes & Light Vibes Bassinet.

The info is posted below. Please check your model number if you own one of the Tender Vibes & Light Vibes Bassinets


 Kolcraft in cooperation with the CPSC has voluntarily recalled certain models of the Tender Vibes & Light Vibes Bassinet: KB021-ARC, KB022-VER, KB039-CMR1, KB043-BNT1.

The latches that attach the bassinet base onto the metal frame can appear to be locked in place while remaining unlocked. This allows the bassinet to become detached from the metal frame, causing the bassinet to fall. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bassinets and contact Kolcraft to receive a repair kit & instructions for securing the latches to the metal frame.

In the meantime, parents are urged to find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a crib that meets current safety standards.

 To order your retrofit kit, contact Kolcraft at 888-624-1908. If you are outside of the USA please call 910-944-9345. You can also email Kolcraft at customerservice@kolcraft.com.

An Update

The other night there was a Super moon. I had been pretty excited to photograph it but was disappointed at the massive cloud cover we had here that night.
After waiting several hours I was able to get a couple of shots of it peeking through the clouds.

Here is one of my favorites

Speaking of super we had a super weekend. Phil and I made a late night run to Meijer that was a lot of fun. We also did some shopping and of course had some relaxation time.

Baby is doing good. We are very thankful that I have made it to 22 weeks.

 we have decided on names. If I have a girl it will be Sarah and if I have a boy it will be Michael. ROTFL (anyone that knows me knows those are the last 2 names I would name my child)

 I actually just read an article on yahoo on baby names and had to laugh and agree. The article said certain baby names like Michael were boring.

 I have always preferred the more uncommon names. We have 2 uncommon names (one boy and one girl) picked out for this baby. I am not going to reveal the names but I will say our boy name begins with an S and our girl name begins with a J.

Kushyfoot's new summer open toe silhouette

Kushyfoot are foot covers (flats to go )designed with padding that you can carry in your purse and use when high heels are driving you crazy. They come in a ton of different designs and are so comfortable.

 Now they have a new design open toe silhouette (perfect for the summer)

These still have the same super-comfortable 3-dimensional massaging sole for relief from high heels, and they’re still lightweight and portable—perfect for the desk drawer, car or purse—but now the toes are open and, on the sandal, so are the sides and back. Sizes are 5/6, 7/8 and 9/10 and suggested retail is $9.99 per pair, packed in a mini-purse package. GREAT FOR PEDICURES, TOO.

 I was lucky enough to get a pair to review and I love it. I have a wedding to attend this summer and I know these will come in very handy and save me from aching feet while still allowing me to look trendy. I cant think of any women who wouldn't want a pair.

You can see and purchase all Kushyfoot products HERE.
