If you remember, some time ago I had the chance to review a journal from Journals Unlimited...  I was recently sent a new journal and I think this is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself!!! The latest?  It is "My Lifelong Journal of Firsts"  I think that this is a great journal to have to keep memories of your life, or for your kid...  I know a friend of mine documented every "first" that her baby did, but I will admit, I tried to do it but somewhere along the way, I stopped... Sure, we still have firsts going on, but I was not writing them down... Now, I can!  
One main thing I like is that they make the journal on a spiral ring binding instead of a book.  This is great for me, as I can fold it to a single page when I am doing my entries and it makes it easier for me to write.  They give you plenty of space to write down in your entries, I think that is great, so if you have big handwriting, you are okay, or if you are like me and have a hard time writing in few words, you still have room to write it all out.  Another bonus?  They even have places that you can add a photo to remember the moment (or you can even use it as a scrapbooking area) If you are really creative, you could use it as a place to draw or write more memories.  
This was pretty cool to me, it has a list of different firsts to get your mind racing on things you want to document.  On the actual pages, it has entry area's such as:
What I Did For The First Time
Who Share the Moment With Me
Why I Decided to Do It / How It Happened....

A couple final things that make this journal stand out from others:
Recycled Paper
Soy Based Ink
Hard Cover
and most important to us...
MADE IN THE USA!!!!

This would be a great journal to give a student headed off to college...
Or to a friend going on a trip...
Maybe you want to document your own personal adventure...
Whatever the case may be, write it down...
You will love to look back on it later.

    This is great! Yes, it's more than a baby book: it would be good as a graduation gift or for parents of children just starting school. It would even work for students starting high school, so they can document those years.

    I'd like this! How cool! I wrote way more down about Mica as a baby than Isaak. Then again I started the blog when Isaak was itty bitty, and didn't have it at all when Mica was a baby.

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!!!!...
