Rain-x review + Giveaway!

As the person who is responsible for the maintenance on our cars, I have favorites when it comes to brands.  I tend to specifically go for those things that have proven themselves.  Rain-X is one of those brands.  I KNOW when I buy a Rain-X product, I’ll be happy with it.

As a result, I jumped at the chance to review this awesome Rain-X pack!  Living in New Hampshire, the snow, sleet and ice is horrible – even in March.  So as soon as I received my new Latitude wipers, on they went!  These new wipers literally HUG the windshield, so clearing whatever happens to be flying around here is a cinch. 

Rain-X Latitude

 

Visibility is so paramount to safety, so I go through wipers like tissue!  But the Latitude are so well designed, I know that even when it comes time to replace them, I’ll replace them with more Latitudes!

In fact, according to a report released in June 2008 by sciencedaily.com, nearly a quarter of all automobile accidents occur in rainy and wet weather so making sure you have properly working wiper blades is important to help avoid accidents in poor weather conditions. By routinely checking your wiper blades and performing safety checks on your car you can help increase your safety while driving during inclement weather.
Since winter is not quite over yet here are some tips from Jody DeVere to stay safe while driving in the rain, snow, slush and ice:
• Conduct a regular walk around checking your lights, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid and wiper blades regularly
• Ensure your tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread
• As the temperature drops keep your gas tank at least half full; the extra gas reduces condensation that can plug your fuel line with ice and stall your engine in cooler weather
• Create an emergency pack; items like a blanket, first aid kit, snacks, bottled water, an ice scraper, flashlight and a bag of kitty litter

Despite the fact that Spring “officially” began last week, it’s certainly not here!  A blizzard this week in Colorado proves that.  So how cool is it that I have a Rain-X Car Care package to give away.  Unfortunately, due to my own problems with computer, sick kids, etc. today is the last day that I can give the company my winners – so I need you to fill out the form below with your name, mailing address, make & model of your car, etc. so I can give the company all the necessary information. Any entries missing the required information will be discarded.    I have locked the entries so no one else can get your info so your privacy IS protected :)

Honey Kix Review + Giveaway!

Uncategorized 2 Responses »
Mar 192009

My kids love cereal.  Of course, they REALLY love sugar cereal, but I buy it so infrequently, they have learned to like pretty much anything.  There are a few exceptions.  Those cereals that are really plain looking tend to get me the hems and haws if I try to even SUGGEST that they eat it for breakfast.  So when I opened the box of Honey Kix and gave it to them, I figured I’d get the same ‘tude.  But I didn’t!  They didn’t  even ask for the sugar jar.  Honey Kix  has all the goodness of Kix® cereal but now with a touch of honey! Honey Kix is a good source of fiber, calcium and vitamin D, contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving (at least 48 grams recommended daily) and has no artificial flavors or preservatives. A perfect balance of taste and nutrition through simple ingredients, which both moms and kids can agree on!

If you would like to try the new Honey Kix, I have a great giveaway for you!

Honey Kix1

You will receive a coupon for a free box of Honey Kix, the cereal container, Kix cereal bowl, insulated on-the-go cereal container and an ADORABLE honey pot!  Just leave a comment telling me what your favorite cereal is. No, not your kids – YOURS. :)

I’ll draw a winner on Monday (March 23).

Fruit Rollups Review + GIVEAWAY!!!

With the plethora of stuff (putting it mildly) that’s out on the market for kids’ snacks & such these days, it’s really no wonder that America’s youth are obese.  It is so hard for parents to fight the onslaught of product placement, commercials, sponsorships, etc. for JUNK food that their kids are subjected to and inject some healthy alternatives here & there.

Enter Fruit Roll-ups.  It’s fruit.  But it’s fun.  But it’s fruit!  But it’s fun!  (See a pattern?)  Fruit Roll-ups have contiually evolved and changed to keep kids engaged and wanting more.  When the first ingredient in a kids’ snack is a FRUIT, I’m sold.

Now Fruit Roll-Ups can be PERSONALIZED, too!  Now, I have to explain something.  My oldest son has never liked Fruit Roll-ups because he doesn’t like getting his fingers sticky (I know… ), so I ordered our personalized Fruit Roll-ups for my daughter.  When she first opened the package and unrolled it, she saw the message I’d put on there for her:

She got SUCH a big kick out of that!  Over the next couple of days, as the box of 30 dwindled, my oldest decided to try one.   HE LOVED it! LOL 

Ok, so anyway – you can order your own personalized fruit roll-ups for any occasion!  I am thinking they’d be a great birthday party favor!  

The best part, of course, is that I have a code to give away for you to receive your OWN box of 30 personalized fruit roll-ups (a $30 value)!

Protect-a-Bed Review + GIVEAWAY!!!

When I was asked if I’d like to take a look at a mattress protector, I jumped at the chance because – HELLO!? – I have a co-sleeping toddler.  My mattress has really taken a beating from Zachary’s leaking bottles and leaking diapers.  The fact that we’d only bought it 2 years ago, just before we had him – PRICELESS.

I also have a major issue with allergies so yeah, this was perfect for me!

I put the Protect-A-Bed Premium mattress protector on my bed & pillow immediately, and was pleasantly surprised!  I was concerned that, because it’s got a waterproof protection side to keep moisture from the mattress, that we’d hear it crinkle when we moved around.  But this thing is so quiet!  You’d never know that it’s waterproof at all.  Even the pillow case is waterproof!

The very next morning, I noticed that when I woke up, my head wasn’t all stuffy, as it typically is because of my allergies.  The pillow protector had worked!  It was awesome! 

I know, there’s not a whole lot I can say about a mattress pad, but seriously, I’m SO pleased with it!   Visit Protect-a-Bed’s site and check out the variety of products they have for your bed and even the baby’s CRIB!

Best of all, of course, is that I have a giveaway for you!  One lucky lucky reader will win their choice of AllerZip Mattress protector, a Premium Mattress Protector or Crib Mattress Protector!  You’ll also receive a Premium Pillow Protector!  

Would you like to win? Tell me why you need a Protect-a-Bed Mattress Protector! Allergies? Other?   [USA & Canada Please]

I’ll draw a winner on my Birthday!  (March 12th)

This is only 1 of several giveaways I’ll be having during the next week in celebration of my sisters’ (March 6th) and my birthday (March 12th)!  So be sure to come back and see what else I have in store :)
