CSN Store Review

Once again, CSN Stores has exceeded my expectations. This time around I reviewed the Pyrex No Leak Eight Piece Storage Vessels. WOW! With all the hype about heating in plastic I am trying to acquire more glass (small containers) for left overs. We eat a lot of left overs at our house. With 2 parents that work full-time when we cook we cook extra for dinners and lunches. In an effort to stick to our budget we take lunch almost everyday(yipee for saving money)...ok we each eat out about once every 2 weeks for lunch(with a coupon of course). These containers are PERFECT, they have a little valve on top for when we heat them up, how genius! Check them out and this set is very reasonable priced too.

Features:

• Set includes (one) 2 cup baking dish with lid, (one) 7 cup baking dish and (two) 4 cup baking dishes
• No Leak Lids collection
• Leak proof and air tight seal for secure storage
• Lid tab for easy open and close
• BPA-free plastic cover
• Eliminate accidental drips, drops and dribbles
• Microwave safe
• Vents for microwaving
• Dishwasher safe
• Made in USA
• Manufacturer provides limited two year warranty

Review MamaRoo by 4Moms

OMG! This is not just another infant seat, THIS IS THE MERCEDES OF INFANT SEATS! The Mama Roo by 4Moms. It moves like you do....have you ever seen a parent move the way a swing does? NOPE. It is 4Moms motto for the MamaRoo, This seat moves like you do. As we know as moms that we bounce up and down, sway from side to side and what about those car rides to get an infant to sleep. Most (not all I know) infants sleep very well in their car seats and on car rides. I am guilty of taking my infants in the car for rides to get a "break" and rest a little. Oh the Mama Roo does that too...it has a setting for a car ride (what a blessing)! I thought oh this is going to be wonderful, I know moms had to invent this product.

Five unique motions

• 

  Car Ride

  A figure eight on its side
• 

  KangaRoo

  Lots of up-and-down, less side-to-side
• 

  Tree Swing

  High on the sides, low in the middle
• 

  Rock-A-Bye

  Low on the sides, high in the middle
• 

  Ocean Wave

  Around in a big circle

A few of the Mama Roo features are:

Adjustable speed

Built in white noise machine (genius I must say)

MP3 plug in jack and cord included (to rock out when the time is right, or simply play your favorite downloaded music)

Reclines to any position on its back

Fabric easily removes to be washed

3 balls that attach at the top for the baby to play with or study (black and white on one side for 1-4 months and color on the other side for 4+ months...when they see color)

I used this seat on Elle starting when she was about 6 months old, until she would no longer stay in it...she was and still is a small baby girl! She loved this seat and still loves the balls that hang on it. I used 2 other swings and vibrating seats between my house and grandma's house and this was the ticket, all the others were history and I will never turn back now! IT ROCKED! I have several friends who come over and say where is that seat you have, let me try it out.

This seat is a must have if you are expecting or know someone who is expecting!

Please visit the 4 Moms site and see the other exciting products these women have developed.

Jura Capresso 4 Cup Espresso & Cappuccio Machine Review

I had the pleasure of reviewing this AWESOME 4 cup espresso & cappuccino machine by Jura Capresso. Any of you that know me very well, know I drink ALOT of coffee...AND LOVE IT!

This machine does it all! It makes espresso and foams or heats milk (or soy milk :)). I really enjoyed using this machine to make vanilla lattes to my hearts content. It was extremely simple to operate. It has an coffee/steam selector to make it easy to control the brew and steam. I searched online how to make Starbucks drinks and found numerous recipes to recreate their drinks! YUMMY!

Features and Benefits

• 4-cup high-tech steam/boiler system
• Boiler cap with built-in safety valve
• Unique Coffee/Steam Selector allows you to move from coffee to steaming and to adjust coffee strength to your taste
• Swivel frother with adjustable steam output allows you to steam large or small amounts of milk in seconds for frothing (Cappuccinos) and steaming (Lattes)
• The powerful steam/boiler reduces warm-up time to under 2 minutes, producing 2 to 4 cappuccinos or lattes in under 5 minutes
• Convenient filter holder with thumb guard for safe use
• Illuminated on/off switch
• Dishwasher safe glass carafe
• Removable drip tray for easy clean-up

I must admit I had never heard of this company, and like anyone was skeptical about their products, but must admit that I am more than satisfied with this expresso/cappuccino machine! If you are a coffee lover or frequent the coffee shops daily, you should really consider this machine, she is wonderful and will help you save lots of money by making your favorite lattes and cappuccinos at home!

Review: PediPed Shoes

Where do I start? I LOVE PEDI PEDS! These shoes are adorable on kids of all ages. Pedi Peds started a company for the little ones who were begining to walk with their soft soled shoes and then came out with the toddler line (US children's sizes 6-12) of Flex sole shoes! I was excited when they sent me a pair of the Mia Chocolate Brown Boots to review. Pedi Ped shoes are of the highest quality and "pediped Flex^® combines everything you would ever want in a rubber soled shoe. High quality, fine leather and a soft and flexible rubber sole makes Flex^® the

“next best thing to bare feet”.

My children love all of their pedi ped shoes and they are super cute too! There are boys and girls designs and all are affordable. The also have a once a year offer where most of their shoes are 50% off and they donate the rest to March of Dimes. When this sale is not going on you can go to the sale tab (girls) or sale tab (boys)and see what is on sale currently.

I HIGHLY recommend these shoes to anyone!!!

I was honored when Toms of Maine asked me to review their new Wicked Fresh Toothpaste in Cool Mint. I love their products and the fact that they are up front about what goes into their products, as well as, its purpose for being in the product. I immediately used this toothpaste to see what it was like and I LOVED the texture, flavor, and the way it left my teeth feeling. I am a sensitive toothpaste kinda gal and this met all my expectations. Check out their website and all that Tom's of Maine has to offer for you and your family.

Bodum Travel Press Review

As most of you know I am an avid coffee drinker. I have to drink a few cups everyday and love every sip! I was thrilled when Bodum offered for me to review the Travel Press with Silcone Grip! This was such an awesome item for me. I own the Bodum Coffee press now and LOVE it! The Bodum press makes your coffee taste wonderful, I was skeptical at first, but upon giving it a chance I learned that it indeed was different from a traditional coffee maker, it was wonderful! My choice of using the french Press is simple...TASTE. No paper filter means nothing comes between you and your coffee.

As most of you know, when you become a mother time disappears and things have to become more convenient so that we can get everything done in a days time. Bodum combines the coffee maker and the travel mug to make the travel press. In the travel press you do not have to sacrifice taste for convenience. The slip proof silicone band come in 8 stunning colors to suit anyones taste.

Wednesday Review: Sleep Sheep On The Go

The review I posted about on June 27th here....it is ready! I must start by saying I LOVE CSN stores! You can shop here and get ANYTHING you could ever want. When CSN offered me the opportunity to review any item from the 200+ stores....I must admit I was overwhelmed, but thought long and hard about what I wanted to review. I decided to review a few kitchen items from csnbaby.com one of the 200+ stores!

I was super excited when CSN Stores gave me the chance to review the Cloud B Sleep Sheep On The Go. Since I have a little one this was a great opportunity to try a new product and she loves it. CSN Stores is a great online resource to find almost anything you can imagine in their 200+ stores.

The On The Go version of the Sleep Sheep is a compact version of the award-winning original Sleep Sheep, this adorable travel companion brings its comforting sleep time sounds with you when you are away from home. Similar to the original Sleep Sheep, the On The Go version has four soothing sounds to help your child sleep easier; however its convenient size (8" tall) fits easily in a diaper bag or luggage. On The Go is especially helpful in calming children to sleep in an unfamiliar environment.

Since we take lots of trips in the summer and the kids have to sleep in different environments for a night or two this sleep sheep keeps us from having to tote a stuffed animal and a white noise machine with us everywhere we go! It is everything in one! I highly recommend you check our CSN Stores when you are searching for an item on the internet!

Features:

• Sheep
• Simple push-button sound selection with volume control
• Two sleep-timer options: 23 and 45 minutes
• Velcro strap allows easy attachment to car seats and stroller
• Two AA batteries included
• Four soothing sounds: mother's heartbeat, spring showers, ocean waves and whale songs
• Ideal for newborn and up

CSN Store Review

The review I posted about on June 7th here....it is ready! I must start by saying I LOVE CSN stores! You can shop here and get ANYTHING you could ever want. When CSN offered me the opportunity to review any item from the 200+ stores....I must admit I was overwhelmed, but thought long and hard about what I wanted to review. I decided to review a few kitchen items from cookware.com one of the 200+ stores!

I chose the Nordic Ware covered Baker's Half Sheet, 2 Farberware 9"x5" Loaf Pans, and a Chicago Cutlery Magnastrip.

This time of year I love to cook with all the fresh fruit and veggies I can get from the Farmer's Market and my own garden. I made banana bread, cranberry bread and a regular loaf of bread! Then to top it off I made a pan of Theresa's famous cookie cake! YUMMY!

Theresa’s Cookie Cake

1C Margerine (softened)

3/4 C Sugar

3/4 C Brown Sugar

1 pkg (8oz) Cream Cheese (softened)

1t Vanilla

2 Eggs

2 1/4 C Flour

1t Baking Soda

1/4 t Salt

1 (12oz) pkg Chocolate Chips

Preheat Oven to 375. Lightly grease half sheet pan (or 2 pizza pans).

Cream margerine, sugars, cream cheese, and vanilla in a large bowl.

Add eggs beat until light.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl.

Add to creamed mixture.

Blend well.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Press into prepared pan(s).

Bake 20-25 minutes or until browned.

Cool completely in pans or on wire rack.

Decorate with icing if desired.

Each of these pans were ultra easy to wash. I could not believe what great quality each of these pans were. I am falling in love with my new pans.

I highly recommend shopping with CSN Stores. The ordering and shipping process are VERY easy and many of the items have FREE shipping. To make it even easier you can check out with one of my favorite sites, Paypal and it is secure!
