Its All About the Deck Sweepstakes 3 WINNERS US/CAN 8/14

08/01/2014

Welcome to Its All About The Deck Event Sweepstakes

Organized by Mom Powered Media and Purple Monster Coupons

Hosted by: Enter Here Canada

Homeowners who would rather take it easy on their decks will find a new line of Thompson’s^®WaterSeal^®Waterproofing Stain that makes deck care just that -- easier on them. The new line, at The Home Depot, offers multiple features that make it easier to choose and use the right deck stain.

“From the new packaging to the formula that’s inside, this line-up offers multiple innovations to help homeowners get great performance with less effort,” said Mike Kozlowski, Director of Marketing for the Thompson’s^® WaterSeal^® brand. “This is the most complete exterior stain line that we have ever offered.”

Along with powerful waterproofing protection from the industry leader and rich, beautiful color all in one coat, the new stain delivers homeowner-friendly features like:

· Increased durability for a better looking deck, longer. Elastomeric polymers help the dry stain expand and contract with the wood during temperature fluctuations, reducing cracking and peeling. Advanced acrylic polymers greatly improve resistance to scuffing and marring. Waterproofing protection exceeds industry standards, while the coating resists mildew and UV damage.

On horizontal surfaces like decks, the Transparent Stain is guaranteed for three years, the Semi-Transparent Stain is guaranteed for four years and the Solid Stain is guaranteed for five years.

· Time-savings that start in the store! Pigment suspension technology keeps the color evenly dispersed in the container; there’s no need to put the can on the paint shaker and no waiting at the paint counter. The customer can just “grab and go.”

Back at home, the formula can be applied to damp wood so the project can begin soon after cleaning and be finished faster (most deck stains require a 48-hour wait between cleaning and staining the wood.)

· Latex-based formulas provide soap and water clean-up.

THE WHOLE PACKAGE

Even the packaging of the new Thompson’s^® WaterSeal^® Waterproofing Stain is easier to use. The product comes in the familiar, traditional square Thompson’s WaterSeal package that consumers prefer. Research conducted for the brand proves that consumers find round cans messy, hard to close, hard to carry because the wire handle cuts into your hand and hard to store because the lid can pop off.

Thompson’s Water Seal Waterproofing Stain is available in the five most popular colors; colors are Acorn Brown, Harvest Gold, Maple Brown, Sequoia Red and Woodland Cedar. Each color is available in three opacities (Transparent, Semi-Transparent and Solid), and the packages feature a sliding-scale graphic with a marker that indicates if that particular formula will show “Most Grain,” (Transparent), “Medium Grain” (Semi-Transparent) or “Least Grain” (Solid.) This provides the user with as much information in store as possible so that the right choice is made the first time. At The Home Depot, the five transparent colors come in one and five gallon sizes; the semi-transparent and solid colors are available in one-gallon containers.

Win 1 of 5 "Deck Care Kits", each valued at $120+. The package includes 1 case of Deck Cleaner and 1 case of Waterproofing Stain (4 gallons in each case). Winners choose stain colour!

Levana Ayden™ Baby Video Monitor Review & Giveaway #DoMore 8/6

07/31/2014

Even though my "babies" aren't so tiny anymore, I still need to keep my eye on them constantly. Having both a 3 year old and a 4 year old means there is always some sort of mischief going on. Sometimes it involves "painting" the walls with their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and other times, it means trying to dress a sleeping kitten in doll clothing. (Which the cats really don't appreciate!) Yep, I have double-trouble going on here, and sometimes I truly believe I need an extra set of eyes located on the back of my head. You know...So I can be all-seeing and all-knowing, just like the kids think I am!

Luckily, I recently discovered the extra set of eyes I've been needing! We received the Levana Ayden Video Baby Monitor as a part of the "Do More Knowing Your Child Is Safe" campaign. Now I have to admit, while I have tested out several baby monitors over the past 4 years, I had never heard of this brand. Of course, that made me all the more eager to see what Levana has to offer!

When our monitor arrived, I was a bit confused. I actually thought the instruction manual was missing! Upon further investigation, I realized that the folks at Levana like to keep things simple by creating truly user-friendly products. There were instructions, they were just condensed into 3 short pages. Compared to the super-thick, confusing booklets I am used to using, this was a refreshing change to say the least!

The Ayden offers anything a busy mom could ever need. It's got a generously sized 3.5" screen, and you can switch between crystal clear color images and night vision. The night vision definitely comes in handy, and saves me a million trips at night to check and see if the kids are breathing. Yes, I still do this. Don't judge. If your little ones are afraid of the dark, this monitor comes equipped with a built-in night light, too!

In addition to these viewing options, there is also a temperature display so you can always be sure that baby is comfortable. If they wake up and need a little soothing, there are also 3 pre-set lullabies that you can have played with the simple push of a button.

Another feature I am definitely loving is the Talk to Baby 2-way communication. This allows you to hear every giggle, sigh and whimper AND talk back to your child through the parent unit! How cool is that?! Of course in MY house, it's usually used to tell my little ones to stop acting out. But hey. They're 3 and 4. I suppose that's to be expected at their age!

But the thing I love the most about the Ayden Video Monitor would have to be its range. This system is completely digital, which eliminates the risk of cord-strangulation, which is a HUGE plus. Also, thanks to Levana's ClearVu® technology, your digital signal is completely private, viewable to ONLY you, and remains interference-free up to 750 ft. away. This means I am able to go out to the yard and leave my little ones inside with their teenage brother, but I still have peace of mind since I can take a peek and see what they're up to, as well as hear any chaos that may be unfolding. Pretty darn nifty, if I do say so myself!

Overall, I am definitely very impressed with the Levana Ayden Video Monitor. This little gem is so easy to use, and offers all of the convenience features modern parents look for. And at a price of only $119.99, it won't break the bank. Have more than one child in need of supervision? No worries! This monitor can be expanded for use with up to 4 separate cameras, which can be set on top of a dresser or even mounted to the wall. Yes, these folks really have thought of everything!

So if you're a new parent or an old pro like me, I would definitely recommend checking out the Levana Ayden Video Baby Monitor. It has superior picture and sound quality, an amazing range, and even incredible battery life. This is truly a wonderful product, and can help YOU do more knowing your child is safe.

Would you like to win a Levana Ayden Monitor of your own? 3 lucky folks will have the chance to do just that!

This giveaway is open to US residents and will end on August 6, 2014. Please enter on the Rafflecopter form below. Good luck!

Mothers En Vogue Proves Motherhood Can Still Be Stylish

07/30/2014

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***

I am not pregnant now, but I DID spend almost 2 straight years of my life expecting, since Sophie and Xander are only 12 months apart in age. This made celebrating birthdays, Holidays, and going to special events a bit of a challenge. I didn't have anything cute to wear that fit my growing shape. And let's face it: When you have back to back pregnancies, chances are, you don't feel very glamorous, anyway. Comfort is more of a priority than looking polished and well put-together. Unless, of course, you're Kim Kardashian. But that's a whole different post entirely.

I remember always feeling so tired and frumpy while I was expecting. I wish I had know about Mothers En Vogue back then! They prove that maternity clothing can be not only incredibly comfortable, but oh-so-chic as well! This wonderful boutique offers some truly beautiful clothing for moms to be, nursing mothers, and even women who are simply trying to get their pre-baby body back. (Like yours truly!)

Their apparel ranges from casual tops and dresses to more elegant looks perfect for the office or even a special occasion. Rich colors, luxurious, eco-friendly fabrics....This is the fashion we crave when we're not expecting, so why not enjoy it then, too! The best part? Many of these pieces are designed to be worn both during and after pregnancy. How cool is that?!

Medu Jewelry Black Onyx Necklace Giveaway US/CAN 8/3

07/30/2014

0 Comments

Welcome to the Medu Jewelry Black Onyx Necklace Giveaway

We have teamed up with some great bloggers to tell you about Medu Jewelry, and offer one lucky reader the opportunity to win this beautiful faceted onyx necklace, valued at $79!

This beautiful accessory would add a great finish to your outfit of choice. Wear it with your favorite LBD for a fun evening out, or put it on with a white shirt and black leggings for a casual lunch with the girls.

Onyx is a member of the quartz family, and more specifically of the chalcedony group. This is a type of fibrous quartz that displays bands of color within a gemstone. Even more specifically, onyx is a variety of agate, which displays fibrous bands in white and black, sometimes with gray, although most often the stone is dyed so that it appears pure black. While black onyx is the most famous, there is also Sardonyx, which features slim red bands running through the black stone. The name onyx comes from the Ancient Greek word for fingernail.

When choosing a quality onyx stone, be sure to look for an absence of pits, nicks and a well-polished appearance. Onyx typically appears as either a translucent or opaque gemstone. Most often jewelry is made out of real onyx, whereas carving and other items may be made out of a synthetic onyx that has been found coming from Pakistan and Mexico. Onyx is typically used to make beads, and sometimes appears in cameos.

Onyx is mined in Canada, the United States, Brazil, Madagascar, Uruguay and Scotland and has excellent toughness and wearability. This necklace has 10mm onyx beads and a beautiful .925 silver clasp.

Free Jewelry! Seriously!

And with Medu, you can get FREE jewelry every month! No kidding. This is not a subscription program; they just provide you a code each month to get a free piece of jewelry so that you can experience the quality for yourself. Read about it here.
