Fix your computer quick and easy - FixMeStick Review & Giveaway
It is amazing how much some people charge to fix computers. I remember one time a friend of ours paid a small fortune to the "geek squad" when it would have taken my husband less than an hour to do the work at no cost. However, the problem is now everyone knows that my husband is good with computers and CONSTANTLY wants his help. You have a computer problem? He can most likely fix it. He has retrieved data from hard drives, backed up data, replaced the screen on laptops, the inverter on laptops, removed viruses, you name it and he has probably done it for a friend or family member. EVERYONE calls my husband when they have a computer problem - and he fixes it - and the honey to do list gets longer and longer, because he is fixing everyones darn computers!
The Fix Me Stick is a virus removal solution on a USB stick that removes virus and malware infections that got past your antivirus program. It works because it is an external piece of hardware - separate from your computer so it is not infected and it runs before your Windows boots - before viruses and malware can start. This product is a simple-to-use, self updating, self-contained USB hardware device.
The Dirty Truth is FixMeStick is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! This is the easiest way to get rid of a virus. I was so excited to learn about this product and be offered one to review - and I had high high hopes. This product definitely met those hopes, my husband had a co-worker who had computer problems just a few days after we received this product. Instead of me loaning out my husband and sending him over to this co-workers house he took the FixMeStick to work and loaned that out. He had his friend start it to see if someone else would be able to use this product easily - he told him if it found anything to bring it over so we could see the results. He put it in his laptop and then brought it over because sure enough the FixMeStick found the problem.
It was showing the screen above - one click - Clean Computer - and the ClickMeStick goes to work fixing the issue! I love the FixMeStick and am excited that my husband can use it for up to 3 different PC's per calendar month so he can help fix friends computers QUICKLY! Normally he has to do the same type of thing but he has to download all the right things on a USB flash drive and then put it in the infected computer - this is so much easier! Honestly, I bet this is the same thing the pro's use and for one time fixing your computer they probably charge MORE than if you were just to buy the product and easily do it for yourself - and still have it in case you have any other issues and need it done again with in the year! After 1 year you will need to pay to re-charge your fix me stick (get another 1 year license). Plus this product is SATISFACTION GUARANTEED - if you are not happy return it within 30 days for a no-hassle refund! However, I bet you won't be returning it - this is a product you will want to keep!
** 10/31/12 - Update: My husband did this on his computer today just to see if it would find anything! It found and removed all sorts of different items - it was even able to find and remove a trojan virus file! The results from his scan are below. I don't think most of them were cricial issues but if you look at the 4th one down under the threats column it shows a Trojan Win 32 file - Eek! Glad we have this FixMeStick!
So here are all the items removed from the 2 computers:
- Andr/DroidRt-C
- Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT
- not-a-virus:Servier-Web.Win32.SmallHTTP.30565
- Andr/DroidRt-A
- Mal/Generic-L ->

Tip for the Week - Save money by making your own fabric softener
It is crazy how much prices have went up the last few years on, well, everything! From Gas to Groceries, to even Fabric Softener! We recently had a batch of clothes that sat in the washer too long and got that mildew smell - as I wondered how to get mildew smell out of clothes I came across the answer - Vinegar! I didn't want my clothes to smell like Vinegar though and as I kept looking I came across an excellent Fabric Softener Recipe (I modified mine a bit). So here you have it! An excellent (AND CHEAP) recipe to make your own Fabric Softener!
Get an Empty Milk Jug (or similar container) and mix the following
3 1/2 Cups Distilled White Vinegar
1 Bottle Conditioner of any scent you want (usually 20 - 24 ounces)
8 - 9 Cups of Hot Water
Shake in Container to Mix well and you are done! Use 1/4 cup per load (or I use a little less since I have a HE washer). This only costs a few dollars (probably $4 or more depending on the conditioner you use) and should do around 70 loads or so! Much cheaper and I think it works so much better!

Family Bedrock - Pure Poppet Makeup Review & Giveaway
Does your little one LOVE play makeup? My daughter loves it (and my makeup if I forget to put it where she won't find it)! So we were very excited to get to try out Pure Poppet Play Makeup!
We received the Natural Play Makeup Bag Kit from Family Bedrock. This product comes in a cute cotton handbag and contains three brightly colored mineral powders (can be used dry or mixed with water to create a face pain look), one natural lip balm, and a floral water spray fragrance, plus applicators! The products are FREE from Ferric Ferrocyanide, artificial dyes, FD&C colors, talc, Bismuth Oxychloride, mineral oil (and its derivatives) and paraben preservatives. Suitable for Ages 4+
The Dirty Truth is these products are so fun! My daughter absolutely loved them, and I love her not getting in to my makeup (not only because I want to use my own makeup but because I am sure this is safer for kids!) I have never got her much play makeup because they are usually so full of who knows what that I definitely don't like putting it on my little ones. We only want the best for our kids and when it comes to play make up this is it! I feel completely comfortable letting her use the mineral powders, lip balm, and fragrance. Plus you can see all the ingredients they use before you purchase it on the Family Bedrock site! She loves feeling like she is all grown up wearing make-up (and wearing her princess dresses) and the fragrance is a very nice touch since she has carried around a pretend bottle of perfume for months and now is using the "real thing"! It is great how this easily this comes off with a little water and a washcloth too (I bought my son some army facepaint once at a army surplus store and WOW - don't use that stuff if you want your little one to have a clean face anytime that week - ha!)
So if you are looking for safe makeup for children, well..... you have found it! They have many other products besides the Makeup Bag kit so check them all out!
To Buy (or see all the other fun products): Go to FamilyBedrock.com
More about the Company: Family Bedrock is a family owned and operated business with a goal to provide natural and unique products designed for children and families. We only offer products that we use with our own family and feel comfortable recommending to our friends, family, and loyal customers.

Hotslings Baby Carrier Review & Giveaway
Any of my loyal readers know I love baby wearing! I have tried some great products but really wanted to try a sling, and a top quality sling at that. I was curious if I would like them as much as other styles of carriers.
The Dirty Truth is Hotslings carriers are awesome! I love that they are easily adjustable. A lot of companies claim you can easily adjust but seriously try doing it with a baby in the carrier and it becomes not so easy - this is not the case with this product! I love that I can easily adjust it with my daughter in the sling and that it makes it usable for more than just me (I hate when a carrier will work for me but the size fits no one else!) I previously had a carrier I ordered while I was pregnant (in my pre-pregnancy size per instructions) only to find when I had my baby I wasn't immediately back to pre-pregnancy size and it did not fit. I can adjust this as I lose the baby weight so it continues to fit great. My favorite part is that baby is comfortable and happy while we use this and I can see her face, kiss her, talk to her, see her cute smile, all while she is in this carrier. Besides the functionality of this product and the fact that it is machine washable there is more to love! They have so many cute styles - so if you are not totally in love with the one I got pictured above just go to there site to find the one that you adore!

iLuv Vibro II - Review & Giveaway
I am not a morning person, I am a night owl. I wish I could fall asleep easier but I can't! However, once I am asleep I am OUT - I mean there could be a fire, an earthquake, etc. and I wouldn't even know it. Luckily my husband is a light sleeper and being the sweet man he is he will save my life if one of these situations ever occur.
I love blogging but I also have a job that requires me to be at work at a certain time - yes in the morning. My daughter usually wakes up before me & comes straight to my room to harass me, but when she doesn't come in - you got it I am late! Luckily my work loves me and they let me start working from home so it is not a huge issue but it throws off my whole day! Alarms don't work...... until I found the iLuv Vibro II, which has been accomplishing the impossible - getting me up!
The Dirty Truth - I love this Alarm Clock! This is the ONLY alarm I have tried that stands a chance at waking me up - the gradual vibrating alarm not only shakes but it shakes so hard that the noise could wake up most people. I also love that it has 2 alarms so my husband can wake to music and I can use the bed shaker without him needing to. I have an android phone and can use it with my android through the 3.5mm Aux Jack. The sound on this alarm/radio is much better than I thought it would be for it's size. This alarm does not have a battery back up but that doesn't bother me since we very rarely have power outages here (once in the 6 years we have lived here). My only real complaint is the instructions are very vague and it did take me a while to figure out how to set the bed shaker - but once I got it set it works wonderfully! If you area heavy sleeper looking for an alarm clock that can wake you this just may be the solution!
To Buy: You can purchase the iLuv Vibro II on Amazon or on the iLuv website

The Daddy Diaper Pack - Review & Giveaway
Do you have one of those adorable diaper bags... you know the type that a lot of husband hate carrying around because they are so "pretty" or because they don't want to look like they are carrying a purse? Some men don't care and are okay packing around such items - men like my husband want and need something more "Manly" though!
Daddy Scrubs now has The Daddy Diaper Pack for that reason (and because even men that will carry around that pretty little diaper bag would much rather have this)!
• Two roomy compartments for diapers, wipes, clothes, and toys
• Insulated cooler pocket for snacks
• Organizer pocket for keys, money, pacifiers, and small toys
• Fleece lined pocket for sunglasses and more
• Mesh side pockets for extra baby bottles and water bottles
• One Size: 19 x 12 x 9"
• Materials: 840D polyester Dobby (black)
The Dirty Truth is this backpack is AWESOME - it truly is Simple and Functional! It is amazing how much it can hold and how the layout makes it so easy to keep everything organized - but the best part is the QUALITY! This backpack is by far the best backpack we own - and we spent quite a pretty penny on my husbands laptop backpack. I absolutely love that this is an item that will last us forever - my husband already wanted to transform it into his laptop bag but I reminded him he would be carrying around the pretty diaper bag if he did so. Now he is patiently waiting until we don't need a diaper bag so he can have a new laptop bag! This is a great gift idea for any Daddy to use as a diaper bag or any other type of bag. I actually want to buy one for our emergency 72-hour kit because it is so much better quality than he ones we currently have for that purpose. So if you are looking for a good idea for the Daddy in your life you may want to take a look at the Daddy Diaper Pack!
Buy It: You can purchase it at DaddyScrubs.com

Landscaping Your Yard
I honestly don't have time to keep my yard looking spectacular...... okay, not keep it looking that way because it doesn't - I don't have time to GET it looking that way!
However, I often dream of having it look wonderful and I do try at times (when I have time). I actually will have a review coming about a lady who does flower baskets. I am thinking about getting a cute statue though. I found a website with a saint statue, Buddah statues, Benches, etc. I wonder if benches look silly in little yards like mine (especially ones that need a lot of work) because I think one of their benches would work awesome between the two circular flower beds we have (about 4 feet apart). Either way if you are looking for garden statues and more the Garden Gates has tons of stuff - and if you want to share your opinion on me putting a bench in my yard I would love to hear it!
Mount your Television, Computer and more with a coupon code
My mother in law recently purchased a mount for her All In One Computer. The problem was she spent a pretty penny (or lots and lots of pennies) on the mount. We had her return it and found her one that was a lot less expensive and just as high quality. I also just found a coupon code for one of the places that sells these high quality mounts for a lot less! Right now you can get tv brackets, mounts, etc. at StandsandMounts.com for a lot less than retail and some of the mounts are eligible for an extra 5% discount with coupon code Mount5 so don't go to your local store and spend a fortune on these items - get them online and save!

Baby Mobiles have become one of the top items to get when you are having a new little one - and understandably so. With babies spending most of their times laying on their backs either sleeping or looking around exploring their surroundings a crib mobile is a great item to have to keep your little one entertained.
The problem with mobiles is your baby isn't always laying in their crib. You spend you money on the item but are left wondering what toy your baby can have when not in the crib. Tiny Love Take Along Mobile is the answer!
The Mobile is just as high quality as crib mobiles but you can take it anywhere! Just check out all the places we have been able to put this to use for our daughter!
The Dirty Truth is this is one of my favorite baby items! This mobile seriously goes everywhere - even when she is just laying on the floor we attach it to a little rocking chair we have so she can watch it. It is great that it can go with us because not only is it one of my favorites but this is definitely her favorite! The second you turn it on she gives you a big toothless grin, one of the songs it plays has a part where the music plays quickly and she almost always does her little baby giggle during that part! She absolutely loves this mobile an even after weeks of using it she has not grown tired of it. I love that whether she is on the floor, in her car seat, bassinet, swing (yes she likes it better than the swing toys), etc. I can attach the mobile. I am quite surprised the batteries have not died because this thing has been used A LOT the last few weeks - she is my little cuddle bunny and this is one of the few ways I can get anything done.... this Take Along mobile is definitely a Must Have Baby Product!
To Buy: You can purchase it for $20-$25 at a store near you or on Amazon.com

Baby Magic Review & Giveaway
With so many different baby products on the market it is hard to know which brand you should buy. Baby Magic is one of the more trusted brands of baby lotion but did you know they offer other products as well.

Baby Magic carries four different options for baby lotions: Original Scent , Soft Baby Scent, Blossoms, and Lavender & Chamomile Calming Baby Lotion. I received the Lavender & Chamomile Lotion!
TO BUY: You can purchase these products at a store near you - you can verify your store carries baby magic on there WHERE TO BUY page by entering your address or zip code.

Organization Idea for the week
I am constantly trying to get my house organized.... with 3 kids it definitely needs some organization. So I am going to try to post 1 fun organization idea I find each week so all of you can get some great ideas as well.
This week I have found an awesome idea for organizing your bathroom - specifically towels.
For a cute way to put multiple towels in the bathroom that looks classy try using a wall hung wine rack!
I love this idea and cannot wait to try it in one (or more) of our bathrooms!
You can get the Towel/Wine Rack
on Amazon for $27.59 + $6.95 shipping*Found this on Apartment Guides Pinterest Read more...
My kids hate chores (surprise, surprise)
I think one of the biggest challenges of being a parent is getting your little ones to do chores! I can seriously bribe my daughter (or attempt) and still get nothing done. As soon as I mention "after your chores are done" her response is always "I don't need to play" or "We don't have to make cookies" etc.
This site with lapel pins has tons of pins. I am wondering if the Great Job pin would get my little one going since she loves jewelry? We also started these cute little chore "punch cards" where she gets a punch each day she does her chores (and extra punches along the way for extra stuff she helps with). After 14 punches she gets a prize, so we will see if that works! Who knows though - my son is 11 and I still don't have any magic that makes it easy every day for him to do them either! If I find SOMETHING that works I will let you all know!

Target to Match Competitors Online Prices (11/1-12/16)
So I just found out some great news! Target will be matching online prices this Holiday Season! They recently announced they will match prices from Amazon.com (excluding marketplace), Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com, BabiesRUs.com, and ToysRUs.com between November 1st and December 16th. I am still waiting for all the details of if they will be matching Black Friday online prices, Daily Deal prices etc... but either way I am excited!
I know a lot of stores will not even match their own websites price in store so to have one willing to match all these other stores is awesome!
Just show Target the price on your smartphone (or have customer service look it up to confirm). They will also be offering FREE Wi-Fi in stores during the holiday season so you can look up the prices without needing a data plan!
I will post more details as I get them!
*Thanks to Hip to Save for posting this information!

UK Readers - Get your Gadgets, Gifts & Gizmos
It does not matter who you are shopping for this holiday season, Gizoo is sure to carry something to make them happy!
I love their huge selection of unique items. This website not only carries what you need but they are sure to give you ideas for anyone you are having a hard time deciding what they would like.
Buying for my husband is always a huge pain - he loves guns, technology items, and stuff for the outdoors - but he owns it all (besides the items I cannot afford!) This site has so many cool ideas for him though - how about the Erasable Memo Pad with 4 port USB Hub for only £9.95? For gadgets they also carry flash drives, ipad cases, wireless earphones, cute app magnets, docks for your iphone, etc.
It is not all technology related though - you can get Solar Fairy Lights, Hammocks, Heatable Slippers (another thing my husband would love since for some odd reason he is ALWAYS cold), and hundreds if not thousands of other awesome items!
So if you are looking for a creative gift this year make sure you check out gizoo.co.uk for all your gadget, gifts, and gizmo needs! If you get too overwhelmed by their selection you can always use the Gift Finder to help you out!

Thinkbaby Bottles - Review & Giveaway
Many companies are making products today with chemicals and other harmful products with little regard to health and safety and more concern to their profit margins. Research has linked many chemicals in common use to cancer and hormone disruption (which may lead to a large number of developmental problems in children).
- Reduction of Colic (due to their one piece venting system which assists in reduction of gas and spit up and removes the risk of losing pieces for the venting system since it is all built into one piece).
- No spill nipples & travel caps (cross cut design minimizes leakage and mimics natural breastfeeding behavior and the travel caps give you extra peace of mind when traveling that there will be no spills).
- Soft Nipples (provide an easier transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding)
- Dishwasher Safe (although it is recommended to place them on the top rack)
To Buy: Go to www.thinkbabybottles.com

Infantino Right Angle Tummy Triangle Review
If you have kids then you already know that tummy time can be a challenge. You are recommended to start giving your little one tummy time by the time they are one month old, and can start as soon as birth. Tummy time helps your baby learn to lift their head which will in turn strengthen their neck and upper back muscles. Strengthening these muscles will help them roll over, sit, and crawl. Tummy time also will help your babies head to become more round and not develop flat spots on the back of their head (since you should always let baby sleep on their back). There are many benefits to tummy time - both physically and mentally. There are also many challenges!
Every parent knows that a lot of babies do not like tummy time. With our new little one she would almost instantly cry when I laid her on her stomach to play. It would never last very long because even though it is recommended I couldn't just sit there and watch her lay on her stomach and cry. That is why I was so excited to try the Infantino Right Angle Tummy Triangle.
The Right Angle Tummy Triangle has a unique angle that uses gravity to help your little one enjoy their tummy time. It comes with a musical timer with three settings and an adjustable toy bar with three different positions. The fabric cover comes of and goes back on very easily and is machine washable so you don't have to worry when it gets dirty.

Plastic Surgery - Things to think about
Have you ever thought about plastic surgery? I guess every woman has in one way or another - but have you ever contemplated getting plastic surgery?
I know a lot of people who have wanted plastic surgery but it is just SO EXPENSIVE!
Take for example Tummy tucks - you can get this done for a cheap price, or for an expensive price. What are you risking if you go with the cheap price though? Is your health really worth saving a few (or few thousand) extra bucks? It might seem like it at first but missing extra work, extra doctor bills, and other things that could occur from a "cheaply done" procedure could be even more costly than going with a highly recommended doctor. You can get more info at this site.
So if you are considering getting a procedure such as a tummy tuck done make sure you are looking at more than just the price tag. There is a huge difference between affordable and cheap - make sure you are not getting a cheap procedure!

LIVESTRONG Sunscreen Review & Giveaway
Do you get a sunburn easily? I am lucky enough to not burn very easy - my husband on the other hand could probably go get the mail and get a sunburn on a really sunny day! LIVESTRONG by thinksport is a sunscreen that can offer true protection!
The Dirty Truth is this is fantastic sunscreen! My husband hates lotion so he is naturally not a huge fan of sunscreen - even though he definitely needs it. Even though it has a high SPF 50+ it is not greasy and too thick like some others, it goes on smooth so even those who don't like lotion can appreciate the protection of LIVESTRONG sunscreen! I absolutely love that it is not chemical based - if you go to the store and look at their sunscreen selection you will see that many of them are chemical sunscreens. Some of these may have SPF 70 or higher but here is a fun fact: the difference in effectiveness between SPF 30 and SPF 100 is only 2-3%. I also did not know that chemical sunscreens penetrate the skin and are absored into the blood stream - Scary! I love that this sunscreen protects the skin with a physical barrier on top of the skin instead. With how great this sunscreen feels, the effectiveness it provides (it works great), and the lack of chemicals.... it is an easy choice for us! Plus it is made right here in the USA! Which is something that always makes me want to buy a product even more!
To Buy: Go to Thinkbabybottles.com
Enter of the Rafflecopter Form Below for a chance to win your own LIVESTRONG sunscreen!

Baby&Co - All your baby needs in UK
If you are in the UK and wondering where you can get all your baby needs you are in luck. I know here in the US a lot of stores carry some of the items you may want but usually not all of them. How many times have each of us went to a store with a list of baby items only to find they didn't carry certain items, or not in the brands we wanted?
BabyandCo.com carries the top brands in the items you will need! They have all the top brands for car seats including Maxi-Cosi, Britax and many more! This is one area I personally believe in spending my money. I may try to find a cheaper brand for some items - but car seats involves my little ones safety and I always do my research to make sure the item I am buying (whether a cheaper brand or more expensive one) is one that has very high safety ratings!
You can also take care of any Pushchair and Pram needs from Bugaboo to Maclaren they carry all the brands for these as well, plus they even have Pushchairs for twins (or your little toddler and baby - I made sure I got one of these when I found out we had a new baby on the way!)
Make sure you also check out their Lollipop Lane special offers and all their other sales to get some great deals! They have amazing prices and they do Price Matches so you know you are always getting the best deal! Plus if an item you want is out of stock they will notify you as soon as they get it in! Shipping is free for orders over £100 and otherwise is just £4.99.
