Fit To PERFECTION! Lee Jeans (Review)

A Little Bit About Lee
For years women have struggled with finding a jean that fits and flatters. Lee Jeans has taken that struggle to heart – through research, fit studies and focus groups, Lee has developed a collection of jeans and pants designed to help every woman look and feel great:
Instantly Slims You: Jeans and pants that have a special interior panel to help hold in the tummy and flatten the waistline.

Custom Fit: This completely hidden elastic waistband allows for extra stretch around the middle, helping to eliminate pinching and the dreaded ‘muffin top’.

No-Gap Waistband: A slightly wider waistband with a little bit of stretch gives additional comfort and prevents gapping in the back.

Slender Secret: A little extra stretch helps slim and shape the tummy and thigh areas for a leaner silhouette.

My Experience
With Summer temperatures in full force here in the Northeast part of the country (temperatures over the past few days have steadily remained in the 90's ) a wardrobe to match the climate change was definitely in order.

When it comes to shopping for clothes for my family it is a fairly easy task.  When it comes to shopping for myself however, that's an entirely different story! With a tendency to be picky in choosing styles and the perfect fit in jeans, I have come to know and trust one brand in particular, LeeThere's just something about that perfect fit and large selection of styles that has won me over completely.

Have you had a chance to check out the Spring/Summer line from Lee? Super CUTE selection!  I chose three different styles from this season's selection of Capri's, and I am beyond thrilled with all three styles!  I definitely adore and appreciate the no gap waistband (especially when trying to keep up with a toddler all day)! The versatile styles I chose can easily be paired with a t-shirt and flip-flops for a casual look, or I can dress them up with a blouse and cute pair of wedge sandals for a night out and about. 

Yet another wonderful experience, with a brand that has become one of my absolute FAVORITE'S!

(Gnomeo & Juliet Trailer)
Our Experience
If you don't currently have an affinity for Garden Gnomes.....your about to! The first time that we sat down to view the all new Gnomeo & Juliet, I wasn't prepared for just how much we would all laugh and genuinely enjoy this animated comedy! The Gnomeo & Juliet storyline, bares slight resemblance to the well known Shakespeare storyline -  though without the sad ending of course!
(CLIP: Gnomeo Goes Stealth)
The bantering and bickering between the "blues" and "reds" kept the kids (and adults alike) captivated as we watched the adorable characters battle it out (the lawnmower races are priceless!), fall in love, and eventually make peace. The flamingo, one of our absolute favorite characters, ignited side splitting laughter on more than one occasion throughout the film! The cast in this movie is incredible, and the soundtrack from Elton John, had us all humming along. Gorgeous animation, realistic sound effects, classic soundtrack; phenomenal family film that you won't want to miss!

Only The Purest Of Ingrediants From A Company That Clearly Cares! Pharmacopia (Review)


A Little Bit About Pharmacopia
Pharmacopia is a lot more than natural and organic. Our wholistic approach to personal care promotes health and wellness inside and out. We are on a mission to provide our customers with authentic and indulgent products made from pure ingredients produced sustainably, locally and organically whenever possible. Our gentle infusions of herbs and oils and unique blends of antioxidants and essential oils are designed to keep skin healthy and radiant, naturally.

Our Experience
When it comes to my family's skin, I am always VERY cautious with the products that I choose. I prefer to use natural and organic skincare whenever possible (especially with the kids delicate skin).  Recently I was introduced to Pharmacopia Natural & Organic Body Care. Perfectly meeting my preferences with their use of all natural and organic ingredients, I was excited to check out their product line. Their Everyday Lotion is enriched with certified organic aloe vera and shea butter to nourish and protect and skin smooth and soft. The soft scent of Jasmine Clary Sage is heavenly and wonderfully relaxing

The Pharmacopia Hand Cream is a rich shea butter based moisturizer that can heal even the driest of hands; leaving skin soft and renewed. I loved the invigorating citrus scent! This is my go to hand moisturizer right now (I take it along with me in my purse, everywhere!). As most mom's do, I wash my hands constantly throughout the day which can leave them dry and cracked. Since I've started using the Pharmacopia Hand Cream, my hands have remained soft and smooth - a much welcomed change!

Pharmacopia clearly cares about their customers, using only the purest of ingredients in their amazing products... which is very appreciated by this mom!

Disney's Lemonade Mouth: Extended Edition DVD + Digital Copy (Review & Giveaway)

A Little Bit About Disney's Lemonade Mouth: Extended Edition DVD + Digital Copy
This spirited, music-driven movie introduces an unlikely ensemble of five students -- Olivia, Wen, Stella, Mohini and Charlie – who, after meeting in detention, gradually realize their shared musical connection and belief that it's time for the students of Mesa High to stand up and be heard on things big and small (ranging from the school Principal's exclusive support of the athletic programs to the removal of the popular organic lemonade from the cafeteria). Ultimately, as they open up to each other and form friendships, they start a band -- Lemonade Mouth -- that soon resonates with students sidelined by the high school elite. However, not everyone in the school is ready to cheer them on, especially since the popular rock group Mudslide Crush is determined to maintain their headline status and win the coveted Rising Star music competition.
(Above Clip: "Forming the Band")
Based on the book Lemonade Mouth by Mark Peter Hughes and directed by award-winning Patricia Riggen (La Misma Luna aka Under the Same Moon), executive-produced by Debra Martin Chase (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Disney Channel's "The Cheetah Girls" movies), co-produced by Gaylyn Fraiche (Just Wright, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2) and choreographed by Chris Scott (TV’s "So You Think You Can Dance").
(Above Clip:"Determinate")
In addition to featuring 10 awesome original songs from the No. 1 soundtrack, the exciting LEMONADE MOUTH: EXTENDED EDITION DVD release includes an exclusive extended performance of "Livin’ on a High Wire" and an exciting "Rock-Along" version of the movie that allows fans to sing along, with lyrics to all the songs, appearing on-screen. Both features are available only on the DVD that debuts in the US on May 24, 2011 (Canada on May 17, 2011).
(Above Clip: "This is The Moment")
Our Experience
Both of our children adore music and the Lemonade Mouth music video's that they had previewed on the Disney Channel really helped to fuel their excitement about the movie! We all sat down to watch Lemonade Mouth on DVD last week for our movie night.  The kid's were captivated by the inspiring story line and incredible songs that both motivate & inspire children to reach for their dreams and never give up! With several songs performed throughout the movie, the kids were frequently off of the sofa dancing and singing along. Adding to the entertainment value, I love that Disney has included a digital copy with this title. The digital copy was easily downloaded into our iPad, perfect for on-the-go entertainment (great for our next road trip!).

Teaching and inspiring children to never give up, Lemonade Mouth became a fast favorite in our home, I'm positive it will in yours as well!

You can find Lemonade Mouth on DVD at a retailer's online and near you on Tuesday, May 24, 2011.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has become a morning tradition in our home, our children LOVE to watch it every morning on The Disney Channel!

Being the big fans that they are, they were excited to kick off the Summer season by watching the fun episodes on Mickey's Great Outdoors.

NATURAL Disposable Diapers with a MUCH LOWER eco-footprint! Bambo Nature (Review & Giveaway~6 Winner's)


A Little Bit About Bambo Nature
Bambo Nature diapers are just like ordinary disposables, but they have a much lower eco footprint. Bambo Nature nappies are both ultra-thin and ultra-absorbent with a unique layer that draws wetness away from baby’s skin, keeping baby dry and comfortable even with repeat wetting. The nappies have been designed in conjunction with parents to assure the product has a practical design and are user friendly. Bambo Nature is available in 5 sizes to suit all ages – from birth until your child naturally achieves full continence.

For those of you that require Premie, Newborn (Size 1) and Training Pants, Abena also offers the Bambo Baby Diaper product line. Please Note: This line has been awarded the Nordic Swan Eco-Label, too! They are officially and independently certified to be environmentally friendly, just like the Bambo Nature product line. You can buy these products with the same confidence.
Bambo Baby Diapers carry the official environmental Nordic Ecolabel, the Swan:

  • Certified free of harsh and dangerous chemicals
  • Certified non-toxic and hypoallergenic
  • Eco-friendly & transparent manufacturing process
Bambo Nature Design Feature Includes:
  • Re-sealable, stretchy Velcro-style tabs.
  • Double leakage barriers with soft elastic which helps keep baby dry.
  • Super-absorbent core with a unique layer that draws wetness away from baby’s skin, keeping baby dry even with repeat wetting.
  • New flexible sidepanels with stretch for easy fit, improved comfort and freedom to move.
  • Breathable back-sheet allows air to circulate to the skin, reducing moisture content and thereby the risk of skin irritation.
Our Experience
We used disposable diapers for both of our children.  Though I would have preferred something a little less taxing on the environment, the options weren't plentiful at the time.  After using a particular brand of diapers from the time B was born for about a year, they suddenly changed the design by adding a blue dye (which brightened to show you when the diaper was wet). We continued to use the diapers after the change in design without batting an eye, however, we started to notice a rash after just a few days that was spreading from the diaper area to our sons thighs, YIKES!  After a costly trip to the pediatrician we were informed that he was having an allergic reaction to the blue dye in the diaper (and a horrible reaction at that). After some research, we managed to find a brand that didn't use the dye, however, what I learned in my research in trying to find that brand was a little scary.  The components and ingredients in some disposable diapers were absolutely SHOCKING!

Now there is a Natural Disposable Diaper that has just been made available in the United States! Bambo Nature! Having already received vast approval from parents and environmentalists in other countries (Bambo Nature is the ONLY disposable diaper to have received the Swan Nordic eco-label), I was excited to see what they were all about. Since my children are out of diapers, we tested the diapers on a close friend's infant, and they are incredible. Not only are they soft and absorbent, most importantly there are no fragrances, dyes, or chemicals present; she can rest assured that her infants delicate skin is safe.

As parent's, the safety of our little one's is constantly on the forefront from the time we learn that we're expecting. We shouldn't have to be concerned with the harsh ingredients in disposable diapers and the possible effects on our precious little one's health and the environment. With Bambo Nature Natural Disposable Diapers we don't have to!

Peace of mind and better for the environment!

Create A Backyard Oasis This Summer With Gorgeous Accessories From Kmart.....That Won't Break The Bank! (Giveaway~3 Winner's)


Looking To Transform Your Outdoor Space Without Breaking The Bank? Look No Further!
All of the glorious time spent outdoors in the sunshine is synonomous with the Summer season. Oh' how we've longed for the sunshine here in the Northeastern part of the country, after a hard and seemingly ENDLESS Winter!This past week's perfect stretch of weather has had me daydreaming about sprucing up our outdoor living space, without spending a small fortune.

We have a fairly large outdoor space, with decks on the front and the back of our home and a patio off  the deck in the back.  Given the sheer size of the space, it has become slightly overwhelming when trying to plan ways to cozy it up a bit.

Knowing Kmart's incredible brand selection and quality well, I wasn't surprised to see that they have a gorgeous selection of outdoor accessories available at AMAZING PRICES!  Creating an outdoor Summer oasis for my family will finally be attainable (even with my limited budget), by simply adding some of the pretty and affordable accessories to our space.

The glow of a beautiful flickering candle and soft cheerful light from a decorative string of lights can set the perfect mood for outdoor entertaining & relaxation after the sun has gone down in the Summertime. So, I would like to start by stringing  The Essential Summer White Chinease Paper Lantern String Lights (pictured above) in one of the potted trees on our back porch. Next I would lke to add the Jaclyn Smith Filled Hurricane with Handle  (pictured below-available in 3 color choices) to  the side table.

Adding new cushions, such as the Country Living Hawthorne Stripe Outdoor Pillows (pictured above) to our lounge chairs would add both comfort and a much needed pop of color to the space (without having to replace all of our exisiting chair pads). The Animated My Butterfly In a Jar, (pictured above top) would surely captivate my children's attention and would be a perfect centerpiece on our outdoor dining table.... adding just a touch of whimsy to our space....after all, isn't that what Summer is all about?!

With every one of these item's priced at under $20 (with current sale prices many are now under $14.99!), I'm looking forward to dressing up our outdoor living space for a memorable Summer season!

Update Your Space Safely With Mythic® Paint (Review & Giveaway)

A Little Bit About Mythic Paint
Mythic® paint is a non-toxic, ultra low odor paint that provides the durability and coverage you expect from a premium paint without the off-gassing VOC’s and cancer-causing toxins that emit years after drying. Stronger, safer, smarter paint®. Now that’s a breath of fresh air.
Our Experience
When we first moved into our home, there was a plethora of colors on the walls (read: it looked like Rainbow Brite herself had once resided in my home! But it was a gorgeous Colonial in a great area.... so I rolled up my sleeves and got ready to paint!). The hall was bright yellow (BRIGHT YELLOW, not pleasant yellow  more of a cross between mustard and crayon) and the other colors, well, I won't even get started.... or this post may very well go on FOREVER! After many gallons of primer and paint, we had successfully covered most of our walls with neutral tones that were more pleasant and livable. However, the paint fumes that lingered were something that we definitely could have done without! With one very dark living room (Before Picture Above) and a bright blue bathroom left to paint, I set off to find both a pleasant color and a paint that wouldn't leave an awful odor behind.

Mythic Paint was the answer! With an amazing selection of colors, I went with the cheerful Pale Sunshine (092- 1) and waited patiently for it to arrive (which didn't take long at all-arriving within 3 days of the order being placed).  I was beyond excited to get this non-toxic low odor paint up on my painstakingly dark green walls! The first thing that was immediately noticeable was the scent (or lack thereof), I could barely smell anything as I was applying the paint to the walls, and after it had dried there was no trace of odor at all (with other brands in the past, the odor has lingered for days - in some cases months). After I started to paint, the next thing that I noticed was the quality; the paint covers extremely well and to my surprise only required one coat. The color is both beautiful and cheerful.  It has completely transformed the room by brightening up the space and has made the room feel much more open and spacious.With little one's in the house, I can feel more confident in the safety of Mythic's non-toxic low odor paint. The impressive quality and gorgeous finish has definitely made me a lifelong customer!

Happy Nappers: The Perfect Play Pillow (Review & Giveaway)


A Little Bit About Happy Nappers
All you have to do is ring their sleepy sounds doorbell then wake 'em up and take 'em out. Now it's time to play Home Sweet Home with your Happy Napper. When your finished playing, just give your Happy Napper a hug goodnight, and return them to their Home Sweet Home.
Our Experience
The princess, like so many little ones, absolutely LOVES to carry her plush pals around with her everywhere and cuddle with them at night. With the new innovative plush pals from Happy Nappers she is able to cuddle and play with the adorable Ladybug by Happy Nappers (pictured above) during the day, and transform her into a comfy pillow at night (by tucking her inside her "bungalow" for the night).  Ringing the interactive working doorbell in the morning and unzipping the door to reveal her adorable friend (and head off on yet another adventure) has become a beloved routine for her. "Lulu" the Ladybug (as she affectionately refers to her new pal) became a fast favorite for my little one, and it's easy to see why........it's just so darn cute!  With six lovable choices, Happy Nappers are truly The Perfect Play Pillow's!

Ready! Set! Potty Train! With The Protect-A-Bed® Potty Training Kit (Review & Giveaway)

A Little Bit About the Protect -A-Bed Potty Training Kit
This revolutionary Protect-A-Bed® system is designed to waterproof and keep your child's mattress free of stains while reducing the amount of clean up time and embarrassment associated with bed wetting. In addition the Potty Kit provides a barrier between your child and the mattress from irritants such as dust mites and other bacteria that can cause allergies, asthma and rhinitis. You'll protect your child's health and well being while you protect the life of the mattress.
Our Potty Training Kit includes:
  • 2 Twin Premium Mattress Protectors
  • 1 Standard Size Pillow Protector
Simply layer the contents of the Potty Training Protection Kit with the bedding that you normally use at home in the order depicted above. When an accident occurs, strip the top sheet and 1st Protector, revealing the clean bedding below. Your Child can get back to sleep almost immediately, and your night-time clean up is no longer a nightmare!
The Potty Training Kit Provides:
  • Allergy and dust Mite Protection Soft Cotton Terry Surface
  • Cool and comfortable sleep
  • Superior Bed wetting Protection
Our Experience
Although I have come across many varieties of mattress protectors meant to help shield a child's mattress from possible bed wetting while potty training, I've never seen a system quite like the Potty Training Kit by Protect-A-Bed. With two mattress protectors (that offer a fair amount of padding while serving as a protector) and a pillow protector, this system allows for the best line of defense while potty training your little ones. As pictured above, you simply layer the bedding one protector, one sheet, and  an additional protector and additional sheet. So, when little ones do have an accident, you can easily take off the affected sheet and protector and you immediately have another clean dry sheet and protector underneath ready for your child (and you) to get back to sleep as fast as possible. This quick and effective method also helps to alleviate some of the embarrassment by making the process more speedy and less of a production (especially in the middle of the night). Thoughtful design, and impeccable quality! A definite must-have tool for potty training!
