Absolutely Organize Your Family

 
 I am not sure how people would feel about getting a book telling them how to Organize their family as a gift... Unless they specifically asked for it...  I mean, would it be an insult?  You know, like...
Man, your place is so messy, thought you could use a bit of help...
UNLESS - you are giving it to someone with a child..
This book is perfect for ALL parents!   I can remember when a friend came to visit once and laughed at how much of Broxton's stuff was over the house.. She was adamant that she would not be the mom with kids toys in the living room and kids books/DVDs on the bookshelf.  She knew it was going to be minimal... and contained.  Then, she had a child... and it was VICTORY when she called to let me know that she was wrong..  She had books in the living room too... She had large toys in the living room...everything she wasn't opposed to having, she was just like me! 

When I saw the book, Absolutely Organize  Your Family, I thought they must have been peeking in our house, as we could always use a bit of help organizing things!!!
This book is FULL of so much useful information!!!

Take a Peek:
Part II is the best!!!!
Contain Your Toys
Display Your Childs Collections
Create An Art Gallery
Do a Quick Clothes Change
Manage Your Sports Equipment
Curtail Your Cords
Savor Childhood Memories
File Those Photos
Shelve the Books and Magazines


One of the coolest things I read came in the Sports Equipment (that I almost skipped, since we are not there yet...) This mom didn't know what to do with her sons hockey equipment.  How about she ended up using them for curtain rods in her sons bedroom?!  What?!  That is pretty neat and creative!!!  I also liked that they remind us to tell those that help "add" to collections if the collector has stopped that hobby.  I know that Broxton will be a collector of Hot Wheels for a while, as he loves them... and has some that my brother passed down to him... but, when he decides he is no longer into that collection, I will need to remember to tell everyone we are over that! 

So, would I recommend giving this as a gift?  Not to just anyone on the list...
Do I recommend reading it?  Yes!!! I say give it to yourself! 
What better treat than organization??

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...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
