My Review:

For my summer fun review - I chose the CS Lewis quote Flip Flops - here is the description:

Faith. It might come in 31 flavors,
but its taste is undeniable to a believer. This may be a “mere pair” of
flip flops but with the words of the C.S. Lewis on them, they’re ready
to take you to unimaginable heights.



Why not give a shout-out to your
Christian belief by seeing it manifest in everything you do, all that
you feel, and everywhere you go in these light-enough-to-walk-on water
Musewear flip flops.  (Just in case you’re wondering, they float!)



100% Soft Brazilian Rubber

100% Original Artwork, Unisex Design

100% Recyclable

100% Happiness Guaranteed

My Thoughts - not only are they surprisingly comfortable, but fun to wear as well.  I say surprisingly comfortable because I usually cannot wear the usual thin rubbery type flip flops - you know the ones that have thin straps?  they hurt my poor toes.  But with Musewear Flip Flops I have never had a problem.  Musewear also ships daily and shipping is FREE!  Seriously - FREE shipping! 



They are very comfortable between my toes as well as very cushiony.  (Yes, that is a made up word.)  They are not very thick so I did not expect to have much cushion or support but they are made of some type of material (soft brazilian rubber) that is much softer and nicer to wear than the cheap made ones in the stores.  They seem to be made to last and to wear well.  And, what better way to support charity and save the enviroment than to wear eco-friendly, recyclable flip flops from a company that donates a portion of every sale to charity!  Can't go wrong with Musewear Flip Flops!



I have worn them every day for over 2 weeks and I still can't see any foot or toe imprints from my feet!  They are fun and get attention when I'm out at the park or my kids' games - when people see them (when I take them off - LOL) they ask where I got them - and of course I mention my blog and Musewear!  Musewear Flip Flops are HIGHLY recommended by this Mommy Reviewer!

Bad Business Practices at Tyler's Coffee ~ My Ranting Review #lovez2read

I was supposed to be reviewing Tyler's USDA Organic Acid Free Coffee - they claim that since "Courtney Sixx, wife of Motley Crue rocker Nikki, LOVES our coffee. You should too"



Well, I completely disagree.  First off, I cannot give ANY type of review when the company fails to even

send out the promised product.  Second, when contacted repeatedly, they have never replied to any emails letting them know my product was never received.  And finally, just because they claim that some celebrity or celebrity spouse likes something doesn't mean it is true and surely doesn't mean I have to like it as well.  Not everyone has the same tastes and many of those celebrities we see on infomercials and commercials are paid to say they like a product whether or not it is true.



Positives?  Well, it would have been great if the product had arrived as stated since it is Acid Free and that is very important to not only myself but several of my family and friends.  We would have enjoyed sampling Acid Free coffee to see if it is truly better and easier on sensitive stomaches - but alas, we could not!



Anyway, my personal review of Tyler's Coffees:

Since I never received my sample, even after leaving 5 messages to the company, I would have to tell my readers honestly to stay away from Tyler's Coffees and not risk your money on a company that has no customer or reviewer consideration.



My rant for the day -

My Review:

What a wonderful invention - finally someone came up with a fun and fanciful way to utilize stuffed animals to make kiddos smile while still having my hands free to use the camera!  My only complaint? - well, the adorable monkey covers my pop-up camera flash so I can only use it in bright light areas.  No low light or situations that require a flash because Chimpy (yep we named her) covers up my flash and the photos didn't turn out well.



Otherwise - Chimpy is adorable and she had a light up feature too.  Pressing her paw turns on flashing lights in all her paws and her ears.  It is cute but not necessary for my kids.  Just a fun feature for the older ones but an attention getter for younger children!

I can definitely see this cute camera toy being used by parents and up and coming photographers to aid in getting the attention of younger children for photo shoots and everyday photo fun.  I found this to be a great idea, and something that I believe is great for mostly outdoor photos or well-lit areas not requiring a flash.

Review:

We love it!  It is such a fun game that the whole family or a group of kids can play together and have fun thinking, laughing and having a blast.  All you need is some fresh batteries, a group of people (at least 2) and quick thinking to start an afternoon or evening of fun and laughter playing Tapple.

Start by pressing the timer, make sure to have a word in mind that fits the "theme" on the card, then GO - each person has only a few seconds to tap the letter of their choice from what is left available, say the word that fits the theme and pass the timer on to the next player - make sure to say it out loud before the timer goes off or you are out!

My girls love this game - even the youngest who is only 6 can play - we just make sure to add a little more time or coach her to think ahead and plan her word - such fun!  A random theme is chosen - for example "In the Zoo" or "Around the House" - then each player must quickly think of a word that fits that theme before time is up - tap the letter it starts with - say the word "Aligator" or "Stove" out loud and pass on the timer to the next person.  Each letter word used, means another letter is out for the next person - it gets harder and harder when the main letters are all taken!

A great game for ages 8 and up - or as I stated even younger can play with a bit of adult help.  A wonderful way to get children's minds working and still have fun too.

FLASH GIVEAWAY INFO!

I have 1 additional game that I can Giveaway to a reader here on Mom Loves 2 Read - since the winner's info is due TODAY - I'm going to make it super simple - just comment below this post telling me who  you would give the game to or play it with - AND email me your mailing info to Susan @ MomLoves2Read@gmail.com - of those who do BOTH - I will use Random.org to choose a winner by 9pm CST tonight!

My Review:

I have previously used a Dead Sea Mud Mask that I absolutely love, so when offered the chance to review another company's Dead Sea Mud Mask, I was thrilled!  When I ordered the PURE & Essential Minerals' Organic Dead Sea Mud Mask from Amazon.com, it arrived quickly - thanks to my Prime Membership, in bubble wrapped packaging.  Packaged well to keep it safe during delivery is important as I have had other books and products arrive damaged when not packaged well.



Then, I went to open the Mud Mask to see what it looks like, smells like and feels like.  I was a bit shocked to find it looks wet and slimy and feels wet and slimy.  Not at all what I was expecting.  And it smells like minty mud.  Hmm, well it is a mud mask, so I guess the mud smell shouldn't surprise me, but it did.

I was reluctant to put it on my skin, yet I did - after all, I do give honest reviews so I had to actually use the product to review it.



It felt wet and slimy going on, but quickly started feeling cool and "normal" as a mask should.  I left it on for about 5 minutes then cleaned it off my face.  My children were concerned that I had put it on because they didn't like the smell or look of it either.  It did do it's job of cleansing and making my skin feel clean and smooth.  I guess being all natural and organic can sometimes mean you get the Real thing, no artificial colors, or scents to make it look or feel better.  Once I got past the initial look and feel of the product I can honestly say that it truly does a great job as a mineral mud mask.



Maybe it was just shook up in shipping but it does not look as creamy and nice and the photo shows in MY jar! LOL

Reviewed by Diane:

 The size and fit impressed me the most about these
socks. Being almost 6 ft, these socks fit well on my long legs and were
comfortable on my long foot. Because of the soft knit on the toes and heels, my
toes were comfortable and not bound too tight. They did their compressive job
on my ankles and calves and kept the swelling down. The variety of colors and
designs make them an interesting accessory. I washed them in the machine but
hung them to dry. They kept their shape well. You do have to work to get them on
as they fit snug.

#review Send your Kids on an Adventure with Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg ~ children's ebook

Terry Treetop books: Adventure & Education series

("Animal Habitats & Environment children's books collection")



Terry finds a small egg, and his quest is to bring it back home to its mom.



But where is the egg's home?



Does the egg belong to a turtle on the sand or a

crocodile's spring water?



Did it come from a frog in a pond or a chicken in the wild?



** Don't forget to Get your FREE GIFT **

Do your kids love to listen to stories about the habitat and environment of different kinds of animals?

Do your children like beautiful picture books?



Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg is a sweet children's book, written especially for you and your age 2- 6 children

with simple rhyming text and 18 colorful illustrations .



My Review:

Send your kids on an adventure! The story is suitable as a read aloud book for preschoolers or a self-read book for beginner readers children. Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg is a fun children's picture book about a little boy with red hair and
freckles named Terry, yet everybody calls him Terry Treetop because he
loves climbing trees.  One day he finds an egg that is not in a next, but on the ground.



The story tells of his adventures while trying to find who the egg belongs to.  As Terry Treetop meets different animals in each of their habitats, children learn a bit more about some of their favorite animals and where they live.

This ebook is fun and full of colorful illustrations that bring the story to life on each and every page.  Although not well written for those who have English as a first language, the story is fun and one that some children will enjoy. Parents may have some issues with the, at times weird, rhyming and occasional tedious wording.  But otherwise the ebook was very well illustrated and would be best for very young children.  Written for pre-readers and beginner readers to enjoy, Terry Treetop and the Lost Egg will entertain little ones over and over with his fun adventures.
