My Review:

I received two sets of Hot Dots Jr for this review.  Hot Dots Jr Let's Master Kindergarten Math & Hot Dots



Jr Let's Master Kindergarten Reading. Each set come with the interactive pen that comes with the books is an adorable Talking Dog named Ace that teaches along with the book.



My youngest child is currently in Kindergarten and although many parts of this set were easy for her, there were portions that she got wrong the first couple times she played with the book sets.  She loves when Ace the dog tells her she got it Right.  She says that the books are "fun and a little bit cool and I like them."



For children getting ready to go to Kindergarten up to 3rd grade, these Hot Dots and Hot Dots Jr Let's Master Math & Reading sets are great to take when traveling, at home, grandparents, homeschooling and so much more.

10 Recipes That'll Change Your Mind About...

I love meatloaf - love to find new and fun ways to change it up

10 Recipes That'll Change Your Mind About...

Listen, we've all had bad meatloaf. Whether it came from the cafeteria or your loving grandmother's kitchen, too many of us have been tainted by an unpleasant meatloaf experience. It can be greasy. It can be marred by gristle. It can taste like the color gray. We're here to change that. Treat your meatloaf with respect by making it with the same meat you'd use in any other meal (basically, don't use scraps and garbage meat). Season it perfectly, treat it with care, take it out of the oven at...Read More

French Onion Soup

Great cold weather food great with warm bread/rolls on the side!

French Onion Soup

Are you just maintaining your relationship? Or are you nourishing it, growing it, making it thrive? Just maintaining will get you nowhere. Unfortunately we are human and too much of the same thing gets boring. Romantic tip: Spice it up! Don't just maintain your relationship today. Do something that will make him or her feel special and loved.  My husband loves french onion soup. It is one of his favorites. The soup is not hard to make, it is just time consuming. So I don't make it for him as much as I should. The crunchy toast on top, covered in cheese, just makes this soup amazing. It is a perfect comfort food. This recipe is not just for two. Well it is, but it is enough that you will have plenty leftover in the...Read More

Like new styles? Making a statement wherever you go? Check out my Review of Corset Chick!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.








CorsetChick.com has more than just Corsets, they also have shoes, boots, lingerie and more.  But for this review, I was sent a corset to try.  I provided my measurements to the company (blushing in embarrassment now) and was sent a pretty green corset with black trim - so adorable I could not wait to try it on!  Unfortunately due to my tummy troubles, the Corset size appropriate for my measurements is too big - and since this is a Family Friendly blog and

I'm not fond of posting pictures of myself that would be completely embarrassing in addition to inappropriate - I did not take pics while it was on - too big on top is not a good thing - I should have ordered a size smaller!  My mistake -







Anyway, my Corset from CorsetChick.com looks like this (though I wish my body looked like that too! lol)

It has a side zipper closure, underwire
cup support, and adjustable laces in the back for a perfect fit - when the correct size is ordered of course.  I went to the website and found several more Corsets and other items that I would love to try  - including a Camouflage Corset (my hubby would love that one) and this sassy and cute Purple Fairy Dryad Corset -







I like that CorestChick.com has corsets and other products even in Plus Sizes all the way up to 5/6XL - so anyone from the tiny waisted women to those of us with a few curves and left-over baby fat (after almost 6 years I"m not sure anyone still believes that) - there is something cute for most any size, shape and style!  These corsets are made to last and they look great with Jeans, Skirts or just for fun!  Check out CorsetChick.com - they currently have some great sales going on!

My Hikes for kids - keep those too long pant legs in style with cute fasteners in different styles. Holiday Gift Guide 2013

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

 





My Hikes Fasteners help kids and sometimes even moms "hike" up their
pants.  They are lightweight and comfortable.  Kids love to wear them
because they're cute, fun and they work.



They are for use in a variety of situations:

1) Size transitions: Previous size is embarrassingly short, but the next size starts out too long

2) Pants preservation: Kids are "walking off the hems" of that brand new pair of pants and driving mom crazy.

3) Capri style:  Kids can shorten pants to get a capri look or for practical reasons such as

water play.

4) All weather:  Pants can be lifted off the ground when rain and snow
might dampen the hem as kids splash through puddles and muck.  We all
know a wet hem takes forever to dry!




My Hikes have passed USA safety tests for use with children of all ages.









My older daughter has a thin waist and long legs, and I have found it hard to find pants that are small enough for her waist yet long enough for her to wear without being too short.  So, when she passes on her clothing to her younger sister (Lydia age 5 1/2 - in photos), we have the opposite problem - the pants fit her waist but are usually too long for her.  So, we decided to give My Hikes a try.



When offered the choice of design - I had to choose the adorable and "fashionable" flower for Lydia - as she feels that she can't wear anything unless it has "style".  Here favorite outfits are usually skirts or dresses with leggings - getting her to wear jeans is difficult, but now that we have a set of My Hikes - she loves wearing her jeans to school, only with the My Hikes on though lol.



I love the variety of styles - the flower, butterfly and princess crown for girls - train and dump truck for boys  - soccer and baseball for either!  Now if they could just come out with a Peace Sign one for my 9 yr old daughter!















Now, for the only negative I could come up with - my 12 year old son could have used these as he was growing, but My Hikes were not yet invented - yes, I'm serious, that IS my only Negative!  That, and I wish I had a couple more sets of My Hikes but that is easily solved by going to http://www.myhikesusa.com/ to purchase another set or two - OH and bonus - FREE shipping in US ($3.99 to ship to Canada)



AND, of course there HAS to be more right!  My Faithful readers KNOW how much I LOVE deals!

Right now Mom Loves 2 Read's followers can get My Hikes for 40% off!

Just use code MyHikes40off  OR get them for the same discount on Amazon ($11.99 w/free ship USA)



Don't forget - these make great stocking stuffer gifts for kids and moms!

Wantable Make Up Box Review - Get a taste of different styles each month - a gift that keeps giving

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.





What will you receive with a Wantable.com monthly box?  A Full-sized premium makeup products, hand-picked to perfectly match your preferences.



Product in your box are chosen just for you based on the results of your style quiz. Colors and styles are chosen for your box of the month based on:






Step #1 ~ What do you love? Answer a few short questions so we can match you with the perfect products.



Step #2 ~ Forever or for now?
One-time purchase for $40, or subscribe for $36. Subscriptions are
monthly and can be paused or canceled at anytime, no strings attached.



Step #3 ~ Discover a new you. Each box is packed with full-size products hand-picked from unique, specialty, and premium brands just for you.



My Review:

When I went to the website to start my order for this review, I was impressed with the questions I answered to make sure my Wantable box was customized to me specifically.  I love knowing that the makeup samples I will receive are the color or styles that I personally would use and enjoy.  I like knowing that I can get a surprise sampling of different make ups for a small fee.  Trying new colors, styles and brands is very helpful for someone like me who has spent more money than I care to admit to on make up that after one or two uses just really doesn't work for me.  Being able to try a product before buying more or full size is a great way to find new brands and colors that will soon be added to that newly cleaned out makeup drawer!  Colors and brands I would not usually try, are now new favorites thanks to Wantable.com.  Check it out and see what you think - it would also make a great Christmas Gift for the woman in your life (hint to the men!)



Want to know My New Favorites from the November box?



Girlactik Beauty Star Eyeshadow

Face Stockholm lip gloss in Honest

Michael Marcus makeup brush (love it)

Star Looks Eye pencil in Obsidian (a little darker than I usually wear but great for a little extra PoP)

Instant Skin Tightener and Line Filler (is ok, will take some getting used to)

Fun Girls Capris Leggings review with Discount Coupon Code - Review on Mom Loves 2 Read

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.














Twirly Girl Capris leggings are made of very soft jersey material that stretches for comfort.  They are machine washable and made from 96% Polyester / 4% Spandex and are Made in the USA.



Girls can wear these cute capris leggings alone, or under a skirt or dress to keep warm or just to add a little style to their outfit. 








These Girls Capris Leggings are available in sizes

12-18 mos up to size 14  - a whole lot of sizes for the little girls who love to twirl!






My Review:

Although it is usually my youngest who LOVES to wear leggings every day all day with any and every outfit, I thought it would be fun to find a cute pair of leggings for my older daughter to try - I would love to see her wear more skirts and dresses and what better way to dress her up than to get her an adorable and stylish pair of girls capris leggings to wear!?!



So for this review, we were sent a cute pair of Twirly Girl capris leggings in two tone blue stripes with pretty pink lacy trim.  She was thrilled and went to her closet to find a couple outfits to match these adorable accessories!



Being a very active gymnast - she had to show off her personal style for the pictures by flipping and dancing around - we took the pictures right before my girls' had a sleepover in our living room.  The cute leggings came wrapped in a fun lacy fabric which she just had to use as a head scarf - so cute!  And a fun card with a link to a fun Girl's Personality Quiz!







In addition to a variety of these adorable capris leggings for girls, Twirly Girl also has adorable Twirly Girl Dresses, skirts, tops, bottoms and additional accessories!  I know both of my girls will love shopping more on Twirly Girl!  I love the dress and skirt designs and we all love those leggings!

Immortal Sleep - not quite what I was hoping for - Review on Mom Loves 2 Read

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.



For this review I received a small Trial size package with 9 capsules inside, typically will last the average person 3-4 days.



About the Product:



Wake up refreshed and ready for the day! Be reminded of how great it
feels to get an uninterrupted good night’s sleep. For people who have: difficulty falling asleep, poor quality sleep, irritability, agitation, fatigue, and lack of focus. This safe and effective, non habit forming formula has no side effects and no next day drowsiness.



 If you have trouble with sleep and want to avoid the side effects of
other sleeping pills, taking Immortal Herbs’ specially developed herbal
sleep formulation will help you to regain

the balance needed to ensure a
deep peaceful slumber. Deep quality sleep is essential for your health
and well being and allows your body to restore and renew. This herbal
remedy is extremely safe and will allow deep relaxation and calm.







My Review:

I have trouble sleeping and occasionally have to use a prescription to aid in relaxing my mind so my body can get the rest it needs - I have tried several over the counter and herbal sleep aids with little to no success.  I thought when I agreed to review this product that it sounded better than many of the sleep aids I have previously tried and could not wait to see the results.  Unfortunately I did not like this product.



First, I have to take up to 3 large capsules for a single dose.  Even though I can usually swallow pills without a problem, I did not care for how many I had to try to get down for a restful night's sleep.



Second, after trying it for two nights and not noticing any difference I was quite frustrated.  My main problem is getting to sleep quickly - I can stay awake for hours even when exhausted due to my brain just not wanting to quit thinking!  Immortal Sleep did nothing to help my particular issue.



Third, whatever herbs are inside the capsules do not taste very good if not swallowed quickly with lots of water.  One got stuck in my mouth and the taste was not pleasant.



Immortal Sleep is not a product I personally found to work to help me sleep so I cannot honestly encourage others to try it.

Wexy Lunch & Munch Bags ~ a great way to make snacks and lunch time fun for kids.

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.








Inspired by kids and created by moms, WEXY snack bags are
the perfect way to change the very image of "healthy" food for your
kids. Motivated by their desire to restore natural childhood fun to
snack time, Carie and Tracey created WEXY monsters with their own
children driving their vision. They want to help our earth, too. That's
why WEXY snack bags are as good to the globe (eco-friendly) as they are
to your child's body. With their commitment to organic foods and
practices, Tracey and Carie believe that sustaining our health means
sustaining the earth as well. WEXY bags are biodegradable, BPA Free, disposable, recyclable, and reusable.





My Review:

When my kiddos take their lunches to school, we usually use the plain boring baggies to put their snacks and sandwiches in.  I usually try to make sure they each have a fun, stylish lunchbox or bag, but never really thought about what the food goes in before being boxed or bagged all together.  Seeing the fun characters on pre-packaged snacks in the stores often turns my little monkeys into whiny little monsters - lol  So when I found the opportunity to review Wexy bags, I thought it would be a great way to give my kiddos a fun surprise when they took their next lunch to school.



My son is 12 and doesn't really care what his food is placed in as long as he gets to choose a yummy meal for his school lunch - with the new "healthier" choices in school meals - he finds that many foods he used to enjoy now do not taste very good - so he prefers to take his lunch more often than eat what is provided at school.  When I showed him the Wexy bags, he thought they were cool but a bit young for him, he chooses not to use them.



But, when my daughters saw them, they immediately wanted to use them for their snacks and lunches.  My 9 year old loves to show her friends what she has in her lunch bag and several of them want to know where she got the "funny monster bags" for her food.  My youngest loves them as well, but since she does not yet take her lunch - I often put a snack in one when we run errands in the car or have a play date at the park with friends.  I've caught her a few times trying to put her toys in them in her room too - lol

These Wexy bags are cute and fun for those who prefer to send snacks or food from home or choose healthier alternatives to pre-packaged or processed snack foods.



Wexy bags can be purchased on Amazon

New VA offers coming Jan 2014 on Mom Loves 2 Read




It's official - I successfully completed my training and I have the certificate and Seal to Prove it!


 







Have you ever considered becoming a Virtual Assistant?  Here is your chance - I just completed an online VA course through Divas Stamp of Approval Program.



My instructor

- BK, was great.  She not only sends a printable syllabus each week but includes a video and mp3 version that explains step by step the process of becoming a VA.  There is "homework" each week that she is always more than willing to help with and walk you through (or in my case answer many emailed questions patiently and without laughing at me - lol).



I loved how it was easy to do on my time, at my speed and I feel more prepared for not only my blogging and advertising but to add more Virtual Assisant Options starting January 2014 for any sponsors through my blog.



Check out this amazing program run by a professional and friendly expert! 







*Disclaimer - This is my personal opinion of a program I personally complete successfully.  No compensation was received for posting this opinion.  I'm am doing it because I personally feel it is beneficial to some of my readers and I personally recommend this program!
