#HolidayGiftGuide - Ripley's Believe It or Not Strikingly True



Looking for an unusual gift?
Why not give a gift that does several things...

Ripley's Believe It or Not - Strikingly True book is a great gift for both men and women, boys and girls! With no age limit on here, the only thing that will limit you is yourself!! Why not see if you can accomplish amazing things to have you included?!

We received it for review and Marc jumped on to reading and checking it out!
With great photographs and awesome feats, it is sure to have you gasping in awe at some of the things mentioned... and in amazement of some of the photography!
With over 250 pages, this hardback book is a great addition to any library!

One thing I thought was pretty neat?
On page 24, they show a picture of a child that was painted on the road near an elementary school. It is a 3-D image and when the driver gets 100 ft away, it "comes alive" giving the driver time to slow down!
Talk about a mental image!
From really cool animals to really nasty bugs, this book has it all!
I love the photography!
Funky art and fascinating means of transportation...

Just look at some of the photography!
As I said, great gift idea!!!
I am loving this book!

    Have you ever been to one of their museums? They are so cool! I went to one and they had all kinds of art made out of dryer lint and chocolate syrup. It was so cool!!! I bought one of their books for one of my nephews.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
