Fun Sticker club project for your kids to do!

Amber recently received in the mail a letter inviting her to join the "Sticker Club". It brought me back to my childhood. Does anyone else remember those Chain Letters? Well, I typed out the letter for you guys if you all want to start your own your child wants to start their own sticker club! Everything is explained in the letter but basically you send one package of stickers to one child. Then you send 6 friends the letter with your address and the address of the person who sent it to you as well as a blank copy of the letter so they can copy it! That's it. Since you are sending the stickers to the person your friend got it from, you could just put your own address in both spots or maybe choose a friend to put in the #1 spot to receive stickers first. Here's the letter:

Dear _________________________,

Welcome to the sticker club! Please send one packet of stickers to the person listed as #1. Move my name to the 1st spot and place your name in the 2nd spot. Then send this letter to 6 of your friends.

If you cannot do this within 6 days, please let my mom know because it is not fair to those who have participated. Within 2 weeks, you should receive 36 packets of stickers. It’s a lot of fun and exciting to see where the stickers come from. Plus it’s always nice to get mail.

Good luck and thank you for joining the Sticker Club!

Your friend,

___________________________



PS- Parents, please take the time out for this cute project. It’s worth seeing the smile on your child’s face when they open “their mail”. To make this easier we have included a blank letter for you to photocopy. Run 12 copies of the enclosed blank letter before you write on it. Then mail it to 6 friends (1 blank copy and another with the addresses). Don’t forget to include one blank copy for them to copy.


Spot #1                                                                                                                Spot #2

How do I nominate someone for Husband of the Year?

Let's start this story with last night...


Last night I worked until 9:30 PM. I got home and there was pizza on the counter, which I had been craving for a couple weeks! After nursing Charlotte and putting her to sleep, I spent some quiet TV time with Hubby and we went to bed around midnight. Nothing out of the ordinary for us.


About 1:45 AM Charlotte started fussing on the monitor. Not the usual "just adjusting her position" fussing, but the "I'm awake come get me" fussing. When I showed up in her room she was still laying down and had her pacifier. That was odd so I thought if I just snuggled her for a few minutes she would be more comfortable and sleep soundly the rest of the night. Well, we spent the next 4 hours on the couch while she tossed and turned in my arms, half asleep. Finally, at about 6:30 AM, I decided we would just go to bed in my bed so I could get some sleep. When we got there she decided it was time to wake up...


At about 7 AM my wonderful, amazing husband took Charlotte and fed her breakfast while I got 2 more hours of sleep. When I woke up at 9 AM there was fresh coffee and a happy little monkey ready to be nursed.


That is why I ask: "Where is the nomination form for Husband of the Year?"

UGLee Pen Review & Giveaway!

Sponsored by Tomoson.com
Are you ready to see the most comfortable pen ever? Here it is... The UGLee Pen.

The UGLee Pen is designed, created and USED by a doctor! You may be wondering how it got its name. Dr. Lee created the pen, he called it the Ultimate Grip pen, then, add in his name Lee and there you have it. It really doesn't have much to do with its looks as you can see. 

More about the construction:

The Grip is made of a Ballistics grade Nylon and is virtually indestructible according to Dr. Lee. The UGLee Pen is also refillable! The ink inside is a combination of gel and ball point, you get the smoothness of a gel pen and the durability of a ballpoint! 

My Experience:

I received 3 UGLee Pens to review! One of them I took to work and several of my fellow associates asked about the pen. This is probably due to its unique shape. It does seem to draw a lot of attention... haha, get it? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. One of my coworkers tried it out and said "wow, that's smooth, I'm keeping this one." Of course I snatched it back and said "Get your own." Then used it to jot down the website...

The second and third pens are at home. On is in my daughters pencil drawer and the other in my drawer! I really do like this pen. I have bought those rubber cushion things before but all they really cushion is your finger tip. The grip on this pen goes all the way up to the clip. That means its not only gripping your whole hand but cushioning it as well. This is by far the most comfortable pen I have ever used. 

My opinion of the ink is a little less favorable. Don't misunderstand the ink is awesome! I work in retail and frequently have to write on a receipt. The ink is quite skippy on this coated heat/pressure sensitive paper. Now, I'm not terribly surprised as there are few pens that are great on this type of paper and on any other surface this has been the smoothest and most comfortable pen I've ever used! 

Buy it!

Win it!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Heelys aren't just for kids!!! See Mommy Skate! Heelys Review

 

I was sent these very cute Wave style Heelys to review! I know what you are thinking, "Um aren't you a little old for Heelys, Mom?" To that, I answer a big "Nope!" Now I will have to admit that it did take me a bit longer to get the hang of it than it might have, say, 10 years ago. The videos on How to Skate that Heelys has on their website was a big help in getting started.

I remember my younger brother asking for Heelys for Christmas years ago. Of course at the time I was far too mature for such a childish thing. Now that my 11 year old daughter is at the same stage that my brother was back then, I can't help think "Maybe I should have gotten a pair back then too" But, alas, Heelys is way ahead of me. They are now making Heelys for adults! So now I can feel like a kid again. Want proof? Here it is:

When I told my daughter, Amber, that I would be reviewing these awesome skate shoes she was excited. Not for me, but because we wear the same shoes size! After checking out the Safety Playbook, I decided to let her take part in the review process. Well, she wore them once. Then I took them back because it was my turn! The dilemma now, is that I will have to buy Amber a pair so we don't have to take turns anymore!

Guess what... Heelys has a BLACK FRIDAY deal for you! If you would like to have a "mommy/daddy and me" set you can buy one pair of Heelys and get the second for only $25 and get FREE SHIPPING! This offer is Valid Nov. 25 through Nov. 28

They also have a deal on the new Nano (a board that pops in your Heelys wheel socket like a mini skateboard) If you buy a Nano, you get a pair of Heelys for $25 and FREE SHIPPING! Also valid Nov 25 through Nov. 28 

Please visit Heelys on Facebook

@HeelysWorldwide

and Heelys on youtube

I would like to thank Heelys for sending me a pair of Heelys for the purpose of this review. I would also like to say that while I received them free of charge, these are my 100% honest opinions. I am under no obligation to give a positive review.

Slice™ Safety Cutter - Great for couponers Review

I received a Slice Safety cutter to review and it is pretty awesome. The Slice™ Safety Cutter - Great for couponers is great for cutting coupons on the go. I love how small it is and comfortable, it's the perfect size to fit in your hand!
Have you ever been at the store with all your coupons and found something on clearance that you have a coupon for but didn't clip it? No need for scissors-because you have the Slice Safety Cutter on your key chain!
You are leaving the house for your nieces birthday party and forgot to wrap her gift? Grab the gift, some paper and your keys. You can have the kids cut the paper in the backseat while you drive! Slice™ Safety Cutter - Great for couponers is safe for the kids to use because it won't cut skin!
I love being able to scrapbook quickly without having my fingers sore from holding scissors! Want to see it in action? Of course you do:

It's a Showdown! Puppies vs. Babies, Who Will Take The Crown?

This post brought to you by Puppies vs. Babies. All opinions are 100% mine.

Animal planet is having a contest called Puppies vs. Babies. We have all seen the adorable videos and photos of puppies whistling, rolling over, even riding a skateboard! We have also seen twin babies yelling at each other like they know what each other is saying, getting their first taste of a lemon, laughing hysterically at simple thing, and falling asleep in their spaghettiOs. These are so cute! But which is cuter? Puppies or babies? The photos have been submitted and now it's time for you to vote in the Puppies vs. Babies online contest! 

Of course I think babies are cuter, in fact, mine is the cutest of all! After all, I have never stepped in baby poop, Charlotte has never chewed up my shoe and have you ever felt the urge to give a baby a mint? Never, but a puppy on the other hand.... Don't get me wrong, I love puppies and have one of my own, but I can't exactly rock her to sleep. 

Make sure you vote today in the Puppies vs. Babies contest on Animal Planet. Then come let me know who won your vote! I love getting comments form you guys! So let the battle begin!
