Butt Bench Review & Giveaway!!!

Ever wish you had more room to set things in your shower/bath area? Wish you had somewhere to sit when you shave your legs? How about somewhere for the kids to put their toys when they are taking a bath? Well there is now a solution.... Butt Bench!

When I was offered a review on this item I was excited - this sounded like such an amazing product!  My only concern was wood, constantly getting wet.....  would it hold up?  I have had this product for over a month and soaked it frequently just to find an answer to this question!  Well over 1 month later it still looks brand new.  I discussed this with my contact at the company and was told they also did tests (for much much longer periods than I did) and it holds up great!  This is top quality wood and will last you a very long time! This would be great to spoil yourself, a senior you know, someone with a disability, or any mother you know who wants a little time in the tub pampering herself!

I have loved the butt bench in my bath tub for when I need to shave.  It is so convenient to have somewhere to sit down when you want to shave your legs.  My husband has loved it because my clutter of bath supplies finally has a proper place to be put.  The only bad thing about it is we only have one, so we have to switch it from our bathroom to the kids bathroom because they want to use it too!  My daughter has especially loved it - she refuses to take a bath without her tea set and this is the perfect place to set it all and play! 

 The Dirty Truth is this is an awesome product!  I am so glad someone thought of this - it makes everything from shaving, to putting away bath toys and bath supplies so much easier!  Now I just need one for each bathroom!  My kids also highly recommend the Butt Bench!

The Butt Bench is available in Cedar, Pine, Pink Pine, and White Pine - so you can find one to match any bathroom in your house!  You can order yours at ButtBench.com make sure you enter the giveaway below as well!  One lucky winner will get their very own Butt Bench!

You can check out all their products at ButtBench.com - make sure to check them out and like them on Facebook and Twitter as well!

Pharmaceutical Skin Care by Theraderm Review & Giveaway

Theraderm Skin Renewal System was created by a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.  It is simple yet effective skincare.  It comes with four products that work to restore healthy, beautiful skin!  Each product has pharmaceutical-grade ingredients that enhance the skin's natural ability to restore itself.

I have been using this Skin Renewal System for a couple weeks and can tell a big difference in my skin.  I love how gentle all of the products are - they do not feel harsh like a lot of the products on the market today.  The System comes with a Cleansing Wash, Fruit Acid Exfoliant, OPC Reparative Gel, and either Mosturizer or Peptide Hydrator and Gentle Action Application Pads.  I loved that they provided the pads and liked all of the products but the Fruit Acid Exfoliant was definitely my favorite.  I loved how I could feel all the dead skin cells being removed!

Nature's Hand Granola Review

A little about the product: Nature's Hand Granola is a great-tasting, all-natural, good-for-you-granola that your whole family will love.  It features fewer, simple, natural ingredients with an evolving flavor profile and a pleasant aftertaste.  Nature’s Hand only uses premium, all-natural ingredients – no artificial colors or flavors; no preservatives; no sodium and no trans fats.  Nature’s Hand comes in six unique granola blends – Vanilla Almond, Cranberry Delight, Wild Blueberry, Raisin Hazelnut, Cinnamon Apple and Maple Pecan – for a suggested retail price is $4.99.  

I recently received the Vanilla Almond and Maple Pecan and loved them.  So excited to find a snack that I love and is healthy!  The Vanilla Almond is sweeter and you can definitely taste the vanilla, my daughter loved this.  While I liked the Vanilla Almond it didn't even compare to the Maple Pecan.  The Nature's Hand Maple Pecan is delicious!  This bag was gone the day I got it - it is great as a snack and I even had a little bowl with milk and it worked great as a very filling cereal.  I absolutely recommend these products!  I am not a raisin fan but I cannot wait to try out the Cranberry Delight, Wild Blueberry, and Cinnamon Apple to see if any of those can compare with the Maple Pecan!

If you would like to learn more about these wonderful products make sure to check out the Nature's Hand Website or the Nature's Hand Facebook Page or Nature's Hand Twitter.

Susan Brown's Baby Naturals Review

Susan Brown's Baby Naturals has may different products.  They carry anything from lotion and moisturizing hand sanitizer to diaper therapy cream and foaming shampoo & body wash!

All of the products I tried I absolutely loved!  These products are made with the highest quality an most sought after ingredients and they are made to be the best and gentle for your baby.

I was not able to try the diaper cream or the lotion to powder as we no longer have kids in diapers (yay - at least for a few more months until the new little one comes).  However, I am so excited to try it with the little one on the way.  I have heard some pretty horrible things about a few other diaper rash creams (including ones I used) so it will be nice to try a more natural one!

The lotion was soft with a mellow pleasant smell and very moisturizing!  The All Purpose Botanical Gelée was wonderful, you use it like you would petroleum jelly and it worked great and getting my winter lips back to being soft again.  I truly liked all of these products but my favorite two that I tried (yes, I couldn't pick just one) were the Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer and the Foaming Shampoo and Body Wash.


We use hand sanitizer a LOT at my house.  Even after the kids wash their hands I will have them use it a lot of time just to make sure they are good and clean!  This was actually my favorite that I have ever used.  It is antibacterial but does not dry out your skin like most the others I have used.  This hand sanitizer has Vitamin E Moisture Beads and they work!  My hands were more moisturized after using this instead of dried out.

The Foaming Shampoo & Body Wash is Tear Free which is awesome because trying to rinse out my kids hair and make sure nothing at all gets in their eyes is quite the task.  I don't think it is possible for them to sit still long enough for you to rinse their hair!  I still make sure to try not to get any in their eyes but there was no complaining or burning when a little while getting rinsed got in or around their eyes.  It contains Chamomile (calming, although still not strong enough to calm the 3 year old), Oat & Calendula.  I loved the smell and the kids loved the fun they had with the clouds of foam!

The Dirty Truth is Susan Brown's Baby Products give you the results you are looking for, are reasonably priced, and very high quality!  I love that they are MADE IN THE U.S.A!  Makes me feel a lot better putting it on my little ones!  If you are looking for some great baby products make sure you check out BabyandMomGifts.com or you can also purchase these products online at Babies R Us or Amazon!

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.

Make an impact with Impact Signs or Architectural Digest

Memorial plaques are becoming more and more common these days.  Why shouldn't they?  They are something that can make an area or place so much more meaningful and point out the significance to others.

There is actually a rose garden in Santaquin, UT with a memorial plaque dedicating the Rose Garden to my grandfather.  This makes that rose garden have so much more meaning.  There is a skate park in a local town with a tree for my nephew who passed away as well.  These spots would not have as much meaning without these items honoring the memories of such important people in my life.

If you have been thinking about something to honor a loved one, tell the history or story of a place, give credit to a founder or historical figure, etc. then you should definitely look into getting a memorial plaque.

Impact Signs offers Memorial Plaques that are built to last.  You can get it in the cast or etched style and you can add photos, etc.  These come in Aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel and bronze to offer a permanent option that is attractive and will last. 

If you want to make an Impact but don't really want a memorial plaque or it isn't quite the right impact you are looking for then check out Architectural Digest.  They have some amazing ideas from decorating to celebrity styles & Shopping sources they are sure to have something you love!

Boba 3G Carrier Review & Giveaway

If you have read my previous review on Boba Carriers you know I am a huge fan!  I recently tried out their new and improved Boba 3G Carrier and was very impressed to say the least.

Not only do I love all the fun designs you have to choose from with Boba carriers but the benefits of these carriers compared to some of the others are countless!

A few of my favorite features that the new 3G Carrier has are:

• 100% Cotton
• Front and back carry options
• Removable & adjustable sleeping hood
• Zipper pouch may be used to store your hood when not in use
• Comfortably fits heights 5’0” – 6’3”
• Waistband range: 25” – 58”
• Additional adjustments for easier fit & breastfeeding
• Patent-pending removable foot straps
• Elastic bands neatly roll up straps
• Shoulder strap holders keep purses and diaper bags in place
• Easily adjustable chest strap
• Uniquely designed to “hug” your child
• Converts to an infant carrier without an insert
• Extra head support adjustments for infants
• Body of carrier rises 2-3” higher than other brands
• Multiple pockets for on-the-go storage
• High quality military grade buckles

This carrier works perfect!  I am so excited to try it when the little one comes.  My daughter is now 3 years old and it is very comfortable to use to carry her!  I love how adjustable the size is - since I am barely over 5 feet tall and my husband is over 6 feet tall this is a must!  I love that between the height and weight adjustments it works perfect and is very comfortable for either of us to carry our daughter!

The Dirty Truth is if you are looking for a carrier Boba is a top of the line carrier with many features other carriers do not have - and at a price very comparable to all of the others.  I know this summer we will get plenty of use out of our Boba when we are out and about with our daughter!  Then this fall when the new little one comes we will get even more use - I love that I can use it for my 3 year old now and re-use it for my little infant when she or he is born!  A Big Thank you to Boba for letting me try out this fantastic baby carrier!

If you would like to get your own Boba Carrier (or boba wrap) you can go to BobaFamily.com or to Amazon.com

Enter for your chance to win a Boba Baby Carrier, a Boba Baby Wrap or a Boba Travel Pack! All products can be seen at www.bobafamily.com.

Taggies Little Taggies Review

Taggies Little Taggies is a super soft 12'' x 12'' boa blanket that soothes your little one.  It has 20 bright tags around the border and can entertain your baby for long periods at a time.  Not only will it entertain and comfort your sweet little one but that means a little peace and quiet for you!  Maybe a few minutes to read that magazine you've been wanting to read or pick up the house a little!  I laugh when people give my kids "Loud" toys thinking I will be mad!  Seriously?  I don't care if it is loud, quiet, soft, hard, etc... as long as it is safe and it keeps the little one entertained I am happy - much better than a bored crying baby!  Well, Taggies Little Taggies does the job (and for those of you that do care.....  it is NOT a Loud Toy!)

The Dirty Truth is I love Taggies Little Taggies!  It is machine washable and comes in many different prints as well!  This is so soft that I even found myself holding it and rubbing it.  The little ones love it and it keeps them entertained!  This would make a great baby shower gift as well!  Target sells these for $8.99 and at this price I would definitely say this is a Must Have Baby Item!

Back at Home

Content by Sol Rosales

I was worried that by moving back in with my parents I would have to give up more than I wanted to. Unfortunately, they needed me at home with them more than I needed to be able to walk to the places I wanted to go on a regular basis. To make it easier on me, they signed up for internet service at http://www.satelliteinternetbroadband.com. I was planning to get internet service at their house anyway. The fact that they took it upon themselves to sign up made me feel like they understood just how much I was giving up to come back home. Although I miss many of the conveniences of living in town and having everything I need right around the corner, being back at home has its advantages. It’s great to be able to help them out and they do what they can to make me feel like they appreciate me being there. In addition to adding internet service, my mom insists on cooking dinner every night and doing my laundry.

Costumes for all occasions and for Halloween!

Dressing up for Halloween has become such a fun part of the holiday for everyone!  We usually have a get together with friends where we all dress up, and at Bunco we would always dress in our costumes for the month of October.  Not to mention how important finding the perfect Kids Halloween Costumes is!

Now not only can you get Halloween Costumes online but you can get costumes for all occasions!  You can get Cinco de Mayo costumes, Easter Bunny Costumes, or just fun super hero or princess costumes your child will love all year.  Now you can continue the fun through the whole year!  Plus, with the availability of shopping online you can start brainstorming for your family Halloween costumes early and buy them before prices are high and stock is low!  I hate last minute costume shopping!

My husband is a fun hater and does not like the whole "dressing up" aspect as much as I do but will usually come up with some creative costume idea.  It is so fun to get to be like a kid one day a year and dress up as whatever you want!  Although my husband doesn't love the dressing up as much as I do both of our favorite part of Halloween is seeing all the cute little kids and their fun costumes!

Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler Review & Giveaway

 (Click Title for Full post & Rafflecopter Entry Form to enter giveaway!) 

We try to recycle, but probably are not doing nearly as much recycling as we should be.  A lot of the reason for this is I have no room for a second garbage can and by the time you stack a box, a milk jug, a magazine, etc next to the garbage can to be taken out the kitchen starts to look pretty trashy!

I get a million emails a day so please put the subject line as GIVEAWAY EVENT PAGE!

Thanks a ton - Let me know what you all think about adding on Blog Hops to this page as well!
