My First Giveaway! – closed, winner announced!

To help christen my new reviews blog, I’m participating in the Bloggy Giveaways carnival!  I love hosting giveaways, and I thought that since this is a review blog, I’d give away something I got for doing a review!  How’s that for giving back? LOL First, please let me introduce myself.  My name is Dawn – you can follow me on twitter where I’m known as Dawniemom.  You can visit my regular blog, Coming to a Nursery Near You or my recipe blog, My Tasty Space.  You could also go check out my phot...

Pillsbury Savorings

Pillsbury has a long standing tradition of quality in my book.  I know that when I buy a Pillsbury product, I *know* that I can count it to be GOOD. Pillsbury’s new Savorings Flaky Pastry Bites is no exception.  They’re new and let me tell you, they’re DELICIOUS. LOL I found them in the frozen section, right where all the other hors d'oeuvres type of snacks & whatnot.  Our store only carries 2 of the 3 varieties that they come in, so I chose buffalo style chicken over the mozzarella and...

Clorox means more than just clean

Do you or your family suffer from allergies?  I know we do.  Not just the typical Autumn allergies as the leaves fall and the mold spores are everywhere.  I also have problems in the house.  I just found out about this new Clorox Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric spray that I can spray directly on to the fabrics in my house to help reduce the irritants that get us all sneezing. As soon as I received it, I sprayed it on Anthony’s mattress after I’d stripped the sheets. He’s always having problems w...

Stop MRSA Now!

When my nephew Dylan was born, within days of going home from the hospital, he was back in, diagnosed with a staph infection.  It was a terrifying time for my sister & her husband, as well as the rest of our family, because here was this tiny baby, all of a sudden SO sick. Thankfully, he recovered and just celebrated his 5th birthday.  Unfortunately, others aren’t so lucky. According to stopmrsanow.org,  MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a type of Stap...

Hi there!

Yes, yet ANOTHER review blog.  But I've been very fortunate to work with several awesome PR people and companies that know what we moms already know too.  We are the ones who make the purchasing decisions, we are the ones who are going out and buying the things our family needs.  We are the ones who need to be convinced as to a product's worth, reliability and, in some cases, which products we need to steer clear of. Typically, you will not find a bad review for a product on a review blog simpl...

It isn’t easy being green

But it’s getting easier.  Clorox is helping in a big way, too.  As you may have noticed over in my sidebar, I’ve taken the pledge – 30 days to natural.  Natural is important to me. I would much rather use things in and around my house that are made from natural ingredients, and Clorox is helping with that too.  Their new website, 30daystonatural.com, just recently launched and provides you with the tools, tips and ideas necessary to get you closer to natural living. ...
