One eskimO review and giveaway! CLOSED

Introducing "One eskimo":
One eskimO is a critically-acclaimed English band. They currently have the #1 adult alternative song called 'Kandi' which you may have already heard since it's the most played song on all adult rock radio 4 weeks and counting. Billboard Magazine calls One eskimO's self-titled debut album "...catchy, ambient pop." and Los Angeles Times Magazine hails the song "Kandi" “a beautiful, aspirational track.”

The album release comes in tandem with a full length animated film. “Hometime”, one of the tracks that an animated short was first done with proved to be quite a sensation. It received numerous honors at film festivals around the world, as well as a 2008 British Animation Award.



Review:
I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing One eskimO's album. This was the first I had heard of One eskimO. After listening to some samples of their album, I knew I would become an instant fan. I waited anxiously for the full album, then it came. I loved the relaxing pop feel of One eskimO. This is a great soundtrack to listen to when wanting to be relaxed and calm. I have had it in my car cd player all week. The lead singer has one of those mesmerizing voices. He seems to whisper the words in parts, which I find very sexy. My top favorite songs on this sound track are "Kandi" and "Astronaut". However, the rest of the songs are nothing less than wonderful. The best part is this is an album my children can enjoy with me. It is appropriate for all ages.

Baby Diner Review and FREE Baby Diner for everyone!!!

The first time your baby took their first bite of food you were so proud of them. Before you know it they will be feeding themselves and.... throwing their food all over the place. This is not one of the more exciting baby moments.

Recently I was contacted by Baby Diner about doing a review on their product. Baby Diner was made to help lesson those baby messes involving food. They did this by creating something that can hold your baby's plate in place. This prevents them from being able to picking up the plate and dumping their food on the floor. This is only too common for little ones. My own children would either get bored or mad and the first thing they went for was always the plate they were eating on and don't even think for a second that they just dropped it. Eating time can get pretty dangerous with infants and toddlers.



The Review:
Even though my youngest is two we still face challenges with her wanting to play with her plate. She loves to try to push it across the table, spin it and when she gets mad... she likes to throw it. I was so anxious to see if this product really worked. Piecing it together was simple. All I had to do was slide the suction pieces into place. I was pleased with the size of the product as it is small enough to carry in my purse or diaper bag. This will become very useful for when we all go out to eat.

I tried the Baby Diner on both my kitchen table and high chair. It worked great on both of them. I then tried several of my toddler plates. All of my plastic dishes worked exactly as promised except for my IKEA plates. This was only because the bottom of the plate has a ridge which pokes, getting in the way of the suction. Plates and bowls with smooth bottoms work best, which you will find most baby and infant plates have. I am so excited to have the Baby Diner in my home and with me when we travel.

CSN Stores Review!

Recently I gave you all a little preview of the review I would be doing for csnstores.com. For those of you who are unfamiluar with CSN Stores, I would love to tell you more...

CSNStores.com is an online shop which includes over 200 niche shops. You can only imagine the variety and amount of items you have to choose from. You can find everything from items for your baby such as cribs, strollers, toys, etc. to items for you, your spouse, your kitchen, office, home and so much more. This is one of those sites you can look though for hours and enjoy doing so!

My Review:
To get an honest feel for what CSN Stores has to offer, I chose to review a couple of their smaller items from two of their different stores. I was in awe with their selection and the well known brands which they carry. I learned fairly quickly that if you know what you are looking for, you will find it.

One of my husbands and mine favorite snacks is popcorn. When we were fist married we had a popcorn popper. This was one of our favorite gifts, but it didn't last long. I broke it within a matter of months. It was completely my fault and my husband was not too happy. Since then I have been meaning to replace this item, but I wanted to make sure I selected a high quality product. I looked through the CSN Store, Cookware.com. Here I found a selection of popcorn poppers and was able to find reviews on several of the ones they carried. After reading through the reviews from their site and others, I went with the "Presto PopLite Hot Air Popcorn Popper". So far, I love it and my husband has forgiven me for the past incident with our old popcorn popper.



My next stop was to the Toys and Games Online Store, toysandgamesonline.com. I wanted to see the selection they had for children. I was so excited when I learned they carried my favorite children toy brand "Melissa and Doug". These are some of the best quality toys we own and we are always looking to add more to our collection.


Though I found several things I liked about CSNStores.com, I was most impressed with their goal for customer satisfaction. If you find the same product cheaper on any other site, CSN Stores wants your business and will match their price! They also have a 30-Day return policy and 100% customer satisfaction guarantee!



After all I learned I had to purchase just one more item. I have always wanted to host a murder mystery party and while looking through their site I noticed they had a great selection of these. I just had to get the "BePuzzled Staying Alive Murder Mystery Party Game". Once again I was able to find reviews on this product all over the web and was pleased with what I saw. I can't wait ti try it out!
