The summer heat is just a bit too much for me to enjoy these days... Being pregnant and all, I just sweat at the thought of going outside.  (See, sweating already and I am sitting inside typing this!)  It is just TOO HOT these days.  In previous summers, we would be outside and the mosquito's would be all over us. Yep, I guess we are just too sweet, but this year, we have not given them a chance to feast on us.  I really want to get outside, especially since Broxton wants to play basketball.  That and it sure would be nice to fire up the grill.  As soon as this little one is born, that is a plan we have.  Maybe not an all day event, but at least outside enough to enjoy the end of summer and make a few more memories.  I am just so happy that we won't have to worry about being dinner for the mosquito's, we can worry about cooking our own dinner!   
We were recently sent two mosquito repellent lanters for review and I tell you this, they sure are nice and pretty.  (You know what I mean, sometimes these mosquito repellents are just ugly containers that you would not want sitting out, these are nice enough looking to be decoration!)

    I like that this runs on batteries and not electricity, and we have problems with mosquitoes. I would love to get one of these and have it where we are sitting outside. Maybe we could stay outside a little later. We go in because the mosquitoes will eat us alive!

    This would be great to try! I dread mosquitoes now and haven't been able to really keep them away. Cookouts and hanging out on the patio will be fun again!

    The mosquitoes are what usually keeps me from going outside in the summer. We live in GA and mosquitoes are always a problem. This looks like good Mosquito Repellant Lantern. I like that it lasts up to 12 hours.

    I like that it's decorative and not just functional. We'd use this definitely. And it really is hot. I'm loving it...but I'm not expecting a sweet baby. ;) If I were, you can bet your receiving blankets I'd be lounging in the a/c.

    I'm pregnant too, and between the heat and bugs I've been inside mostly. At least we can now take care of one problem!

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... ...
