Dial antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash review


This is what came in the box.
Wow! I can't believe that the Holidays are actually here! Now is also the season for germs but Dial has us protected with their festive Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash -  all dressed up in limited edition holiday designs just in time to decorate your home for the season.
These decorative bottles contain Dial Complete's #1 doctor recommended antibacterial foaming hand wash. This formula kills 99.99% of germs that are encountered in the household setting while still being very gently with your skin. 
When my package arrived, I was excited to try it out. It came at a good time as my youngest had just finished up a piece of Thanksgiving pumpkin pie so I had him try it out.  I really loved the packaging especially since Christmas is just around the corner.  He immediately chose the Santa bottle to put upstairs in 
our bathroom.  I love the scent of the Dial foaming hand wash.  It kind of reminded me of a very sweet and fruity smell at one point I thought I smelled pomegranate - it was an exciting aroma that filled the bathroom with pleasantness   He is very picky with his hand washes so I'm pleased to say to Dial - you have passed the test with my little guy. I really like  how Dial has put together a packaging to brighten up the bathroom or kitchen or any place in your house to add a little more color. Plus my son claims that it makes his hands feel softer which is really great since this is the time of year that your hands get so dry because of the weather.  I would highly recommend trying Dials limited edition holiday designs for the season. If you would like more information about Dial Soap also check out Dials Facebook  

"Thumbs UP" from the review crew!
I received 2 bottles of  Dials Foaming Hand Wash limited edition holiday designs for an honest review However all opinions are 100% my own.

Disney Santa Paws 2 The Santa Pups review



Let's meet the new pups in Santa Paws 2

The North Pole has a new litter of playful pups! However, when the frisky foursome—Hope, Jingle, Charity and Noble—practically destroy Santa’s Workshop with their mischievous gamboling, they realize the best way to prove that they’re responsible enough to become Santa’s Helpers is to show how well they can spread the Christmas spirit all by themselves. With help from a magic crystal, they start granting everyone’s wishes. But their good intentions backfire when one unhappy boy asks that Christmas go away forever! With his wish impetuously fulfilled, and the joyous spirit quickly disappearing from the planet, Mrs. Claus and the pups have to find a way to reverse the spell—or risk losing Christmas forever!

I really loved this movie a very great family oriented one to cuddle up with your kids and watch.  They are a cute, cuddly and trouble they wreck havoc even at the North Pole.  But who can't fall in love with these adorable pups?  It's definitely a movie you have to see.  Would make a great stocking stuffer.  This is really a cute movie.  And I know you can't resist talking cute pups,

This cute litter consists of three female pups and one male pup. HOPE is the daring tomboy who wears a backwards red cap and rarely looks before she leaps. JINGLE is the diva with a bell on her collar who loves to sing, but can’t carry a tune. CHARITY is the girliest and most self-centered of the pups, with a mistletoe barrette, who has yet to learn the meaning of her name. And NOBLE is the mischievous only brother and self-appointed leader who is distinguished by a cheeky black spot around his eye.


These little pups arrive just in time for the Holiday Season on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and on HD Digital on November 20, 2012  

I received a copy of this movie for an honest review but all opinions are 100% my own.

Rollick review





I got to review this fun game which is a fun twist on your traditional game of charades.  We had such a blast playing this game! During the kid's Veterans Day break , we decided to have a little family time with Rollick!  The rules for this game is quite simple.  Teams earn points by working together to act out the clue shown on the ROLLICK! cards.  The team earning the most points wins the game...however, it gets a little more fun when you only have three playing because Dad was at work.  We would switch out and sometimes it would be the boys playing and sometimes it would be one of the boys and me..it was hysterical.  I soon found out that I don't do very good at acting...lol   As you can see the boys are having a blast and we definitely love this game and can't wait to play again..with 756 clue words there is a new card every time you play.. I would suggest that you try this game as it's a BLAST!

Rollick! is a hit party game that's a fast and furious version of old favorite charades.  Unlike traditional charades- one person acting clues for the other players to guess, Rollick! changes things up so the entire team works together to act out clues for one or more players to guess. It's hysterical, fun, family oriented and even teenagers love it!  I know mine did.

Rollick contents:
  • 378 Cards (756 Clue Words)
  • Timer
  • Rules Sheet
  • Score Pad
Can you guess the what the word was...it's banjo


We had loads of fun guessing although we had to improvise with only three playing. It was such a great way to have some family time.  We do plan on getting Dad involved soon.  He may be a better actor than me.


This is the answer to that crazy video..


The boys love Rollick! (although he's not particularly smiling - he just doesn't like me taking his pic).

Disclaimer: I received the game Rollick fromThe Game Cheff for an honest review however all opinions are 100% my own.

Going Green with the Green Machine by Ozonator



Check out this link to find out more .


As a Mom, how many times have you had to throw out produce that has gone bad? Well, we can tell you, you're not alone; American families waste approximately 180 pounds of spoiled fruits, vegetables and leftovers a year! According to a study by the University of Arizona, for a family of four, that adds up to over $1000 of wasted food a year due to spoilage. Combined, that is over 40% of the food produced and an annual cost of more than $100 billion lost in squandered dollars, enough perishable trash to fill a football stadium daily.
  
Whether you're looking to make your grocery bill go further or simply stop this wasteful problem, we're thrilled to introduce you to an innovative solution! The Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator is the value-packed product for customers in need of making the crisp and freshness of the produce they buy at the market last longer, while stretching their budget. Even though the Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator™ cannot control the initial cost of fresh fruits and vegetables, they strive to share the message of their solution that keeps the cost of eating this lifestyle much more affordable.

    Pouchee purse organizer review and giveaway



    When I first received my "Pouchee purse organizer" I was really surprised to see how small and cute and itty bitty it was in size - I wondered how I could possibly put a lot of things in this small little Pouchee but I was soon to find out about how wrong I was.  This is what it looked like when I received it.  Now let me show you what it looks like after I put some things inside it.





    Now here is what I put into mine:
    • Sun glasses
    • 2 pens
    • keys
    • Skittles
    • iPhone
    • planner
    • lipstick
    • nail polish
    • receipts
    • Kohls card
    • Walgreens card
    • shop rewards card
    • Toysrus card
    • lip liner
    I mean Wow!  At one point I even had a bottle of water.
    Dimensions: Width: 7.5" x Height: 5.25" x Depth: 3.5

    I have to say I absolutely love my Pouchee purse organizer. I also love the large handles which makes it very easy to pull out of your purse and switch to another purse if need be.   I'm one of those people that everything gets lost at the bottom of my purse and this organizer is just what I needed.

    I'm also very happy to let you know that one of my readers is going to get a chance to win their very own Pouchee Purse Organizer!
    Disclaimer: I received the Pouchee purse organizer for an honest review all opinions are 100% my own.  Thank You Pouchee I love this product!

    R.L Stine Haunting Hour Party



    I was chosen to have an R.L. Stine party at my house to introduce his new TV series called The Haunting Hour on The Hub Network.  I was really excited when MommyParties sponsored by “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series” and The Hub contacted me..  Here is what they sent me.
      


    One of the games we played was  a variation of darts but you threw sticky spiders on the web and as you can see we had a lot of powerful aims.  lol.

    We had a spook-tac-ular good time.  My husband set up the decorations  and set up a station for the haunting music.
    Our second game was to pin the nose on the pumpkin.  We had a lot of different ideas where his nose actually was.   It's a variation of pin the tail on the donkey.


    This one is a great game I made some jello and the kids tried eating it with their vampire teeth in but we had to give up and take them out because a lot of kids said it was really hard to eat it like that so we had them take them out and see who could finish the fastest.



    Here is our winner with his vampire teeth in.  Doesn't he make a great vampire?





    Here are some of the kids watching "The Haunting Hour". The show was a hit with our party guests. Well done and it kept our young guest entertained from start to finish. Highly recommended that you check this series out!


    Here are my treat bags for the kids made out of surgical gloves with spooky goodies inside.  I think R.L. Stine would approve.  Don't you?


    We all had spooky great fun!  Looks like the kids loved the party!
