Welcome to the Never Lose Your Stuff SweepstakesOrganized by Mom Powered Media Cohosted by Positive Kismet, Memoirs of a Clueless Woman, & Bloggieaway Sponsored by Bungee Virtual Lost and Found In today's busy world, it feels like none of us have a chance to sit back and relax. Business meetings, school functions, and of course, running errands when time allows. With how busy our lives are, we don't have time for those little emergencies, especially when it is the loss of a cell phone, tablet, or heaven forbid, our purse! When our expensive, personal items disappear, we panic and think of the worst case scenario, when in actuality, it is likely laying where we left it or may have been picked up by a good Samaritan, having no clue how to get your valuable back to you. While name tags may have worked when we were kids, we really don't want strangers having our personal information. Wouldn't it be nice though if there was a way they could contact you without giving them such valuable information, allowing you to get your stuff back? Luckily, something like this does exist - Bungee Virtual Lost and Found! So, what are Bungee Tags? Possibly the most brilliant idea out there! You see, these tags anonymously mark your property and when it's lost, someone can text the number listed on the tag and report the tag number. From there, Bungee facilitates a conversation between you and the person who found your stuff, via cell phone and/or email so that you can arrange a way to safely get your lost item. Best of all, it works anywhere in the world that has cell phone signal or internet!
To learn more about all of their amazing plans and how they can protect your important electronics and items, make sure to check out the Bungee website. They also set up an amazing deal for Moms, allowing you to save 50% off their coverage plans.

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** I've said it once and I will say it again....Teenagers are finicky, often difficult to please creatures. My 8th grade son Kyle is no exception. It seems that his tastes change like the weather. One day he is obsessed with one thing and before you know it, that becomes "lame" and he's moved on to another interest. Except for when it comes to video games and anything related to them. Normally, being the strict Mom that I am, I wouldn't allow him to play HALO. You know...guns and all....But my husband is a HUGE gamer, and HALO is one of his favorite games. So of course, I decided to lighten up a bit and allow some father son bonding time spent killing creepy aliens. So when we got the chance to review the Metallic Series ODST Drop Pods by MEGA BLOKS, I knew both the hubby and my son would enjoy them. After all, men are big kids in a sense. At least my other half is, and he proudly admits it! So what exactly is an ODST Drop Pod? (I wasn't sure myself, to be honest. My guys knew, though!) 
***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.*** Older kids can be hard to please sometimes. Okay, maybe it's just my older kid. Kyle is almost 14, and often claims he is too old for toys. Unless, of course, they are related to things he already loves, such as video games. Kyle happens to love Skylanders Swap Force, so when I received these great Skylands Spinners to review, he was pretty excited. He doesn't have an arena to battle in, but he sets up mock battles in a makeshift arena in the black hole known as his bedroom. Hey, whatever works, right? Anyway, if you're not familiar with Skylands Spinners, allow me to introduce you to these in-demand Skylanders accessories. 
***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** In my family, it's sometimes challenging to find games that we can all play together and enjoy. You see, I have 3 kids: A 14 year old, a 4 year old, and a 3 year old. Obviously, with such a large age difference between my teen and my preschoolers, they're not always on the same page when it comes to entertainment. My oldest doesn't want to play "baby games" and the little ones can't keep up with games meant for teens and adults. So on the rare occasion that I come across a game that we can all play happily, I get pretty excited. I am all about quality family time, and I love seeing all 3 kids do things together. Of course one game that tends to be a crowd-pleaser is Monopoly. I mean, come on....Who doesn't love Monopoly?! I am a huge fan. Unless, of course, I am losing. Yep. This mama doesn't take losses too well. Losing to the kiddos doesn't bruise my ego too badly, though. In fact, I love seeing them triumph! Traditional Monopoly games are great for myself, my husband and my teen. But the little ones can't quite keep up. It's a bit too complex for them right now. Thankfully, Monopoly Junior is the perfect compromise! This game states it's for ages 5+, but my 3 and 4 year olds can play pretty well with some adult guidance. Pass Go, take a Chance card, and you might just build the property of your dreams…or you might end up in Jail! Whatever happens, it's fun all the way to the top! And now kids can join in the excitement with the fast and fun Monopoly Junior game. This game includes the following components: Gameboard, 4 tokens, 20 chance cards, 48 sold signs, 90 banknotes, 4 character cards, and 1 die. 
***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Winter has been a bit brutal here in Ohio, so most of my family's activities have had to be indoors. Any parents of small children know all too well what this can lead to....The dreaded Cabin Fever. Kids who are cooped up get bored, and bored kids can get into a lot of mischief. Or drive their parents mad with fighting, etc. (Or is that just my kids? I can't be the only one, can I?) As a mom, I love to encourage my kids to engage in imaginative, creative play. We do this in many different ways from puppet shows and dress up games, arts and crafts, and even playing house. My kids definitely have huge imaginations, and they love to put them to work! So when I got the opportunity to check out the brand new Double Desserts set from Hasbro, I breathed a sigh of relief. You see, we have had tons of days spent snowed-in and there are more significant storms to come, so I knew that this adorable play set would keep my kids engaged and occupied, even though they're stuck indoors. The Play-Doh Double Desserts set is super-cute and comes with everything needed to create tasty desserts, complete with fun, decorative accents. In this set, you'll find a playset base, oven, oven top, 3 oven molds, 2-piece extruder, server, scoop, roller, 2 plates, instructions, 2 cans of Play-Doh Brand Modeling Compound, and 2 cans of Play-Doh Plus compound. (If you haven't heard of Play-Doh Plus, you're missing out! This has a different consistency which makes it absolutely perfect for piping "icing" onto "cupcakes" and more!) 
***Disclosure: “I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Nutri-Grain. I received product samples and promotional item to thank me for participating.”*** I'm sure many of you can relate to hectic mornings. With an often drowsy teenager to get out the door each morning, dogs to walk and cats to feed, as well as 2 preschool aged kids to care for, I often forget to take care of ME. It's not intentional, of course. I am just so busy taking care of everyone else's needs that I don't stop and think about myself. I have to admit, breakfast has always been a challenge for me. I am not a big "morning eater." I can't sit down to a heaping plate of pancakes and sausage, and I do not eat chewy liquid chickens. At all. (Chewy liquid chickens are eggs, for those who may be wondering.) So while I may not have much of an appetite in the mornings, I do understand the importance of starting off the day with a nutritious meal. Our bodies need fuel to get through the day, and without it, there can be very real consequences like binging later in the day, afternoon fatigue, and even difficulties losing weight. Yes, the human body burns calories and fat more efficiently when you EAT. Otherwise, the metabolism will become sluggish and those extra pounds won't come off nearly as easily. Luckily, I recently discovered a brand new product from Nutri-Grain, Fruit & Oat Harvest Cereal Bars. These are not only wonderful when you're running around like a chicken with it's head cut off in the morning, they also help keep your tummy full-feeling since they are a wonderful source of protein and whole grains. 
 ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Do you love to travel? (I know with the winter we've had here in NE Ohio, I have been constantly daydreaming about warm, tropical weather, white sandy beaches, and of course, lots of sunshine!) I get the opportunity to travel on occasion for the blog, and have experienced some pretty amazing things...Walking the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man 3 and interviewing Gwyneth Paltrow, hanging with Jordin Sparks in NYC, and of course we can't forget my time in "The Real Whirled" house in gorgeous St. Joseph, Michigan! Oh, and getting to hang at the luxurious Langham Huntington Pasadena with the pups that star in the Beverly Hills Chihuahua movies was a blast, too! But traveling can come with some challenges. My trips are generally only 2-3 days, so I try and pack as lightly as possible. I usually only bring one carry-on bag, and that's it. Of course fitting everything into my bag can be daunting, as can the climate changes I experience when I head to places like LA. So travel-friendly fashion is an absolute must, in my humble opinion. I look for modern, fashionable clothing that can withstand the many demands of traveling, while still looking great.  That's where Anatomie Style saves the day. This brand of high-fashion clothing is not only chic and stylish, it's designed specifically for those who love to jet-set. That's right...Travel-friendly fashion that is functional and runway worthy!
Haven't heard of Anatomie before? Allow me to introduce you to this amazing brand! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Do your kids love Adventure Time? I know my kids do, especially my teenager! He absolutely adores this show and could watch it over and over and over again. He has most memorized, actually! (If only he paid so much attention to detail when it comes to his schoolwork!) Adventure Time follows the unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, best buddies who traverse the mystical Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants – and always find themselves in the middle of heart-pounding escapades. Finn, is a silly kid with an awesome hat and Jake, a brassy dog with a big kind heart, depend on each other through thick and thin. The Land of Ooo is teeming with imposing mountains, lush green plains, accessible forests, ubiquitous prairies and winding rivers, the cities and towns are filled with bizarre characters in need of unique assistance. Whether it’s saving Princess Bubblegum, defeating zombie candy, mocking the “oxy-moronic” Ice King, or rocking out with undead music wiz Marceline the Vampire Queen, with Finn and Jake it’s always Adventure Time. So when we got to preview the Adventure Time: Complete Third Season on Blu-Ray, Kyle was super-excited. This release features 26 episodes, which translates to about 4 hours of fun! This release also has fun packaging that kids will definitely get a kick out of. The packaging features a BMO slip-cover case, and inside, you will find arms you can tape to the box to create your own BMO character! The discs themselves also feature BMO. One has his heart and the other has his CD-ROM drive! Pretty neat, right?!  |
