Air-O-Swiss

* i was sent one humidifier for review,no other compensation was given, all opinions noted in this review are 100% honest and were not swayed in anyway!*


Many of us preemie mom's know how rough it is on the baby once they come home, the dry air will make them cough and most humidifiers have to be cleaned daily. I have finally found a humidifier i can use in baileys room and not have to clean every single day! We recently welcomed the AOS 7135 Ultrasonic Humidifier into our homes,and as soon as it came, i opened it, got it all ready,soaked the filter over night ( as directed ) and the next day it was set up and ready to go.

This is the humidifier,when its all put together and working ( STOCK PHOTO!)

Removing the filter, to be soaked for 24 hours before use. STOCK PHOTO!

Digital read out which you can control -

The Air-O-Swiss model I recieved includes the following(information from website!)

• Modern design with large LCD display
• AIR-O-SWISS’ ITC™ technology (Intelligent Temperature Compensation) automatically regulates the output to create the most comfortable relative humidity adjusted to the temperature in your room
• Sleep mode: the unit pre-determines a comfortable night humidity level (Timer = 8 hrs, warm mist on, ITC™ on)
• Timer allows for 1 to 9 hours or continuous operation
• Transparent water tank (water level clearly visible)
• Industrial strength titanium membrane surface, the quality of which guarantees fast dispersion of mist into the air, ensures long lasting use
• Empty and cleaning indicators

Since the day bailey came home from the N.I.C.U she has woken up in the middle of the night coughing her little lungs out,and it absolutely breaks my heart.Well NOT ANYMORE. She loves the mist, it makes her giggle, and at night, it helps her breathe ALOT better, and she doesnt wake up coughing!This humidifier has really saved me! I can already tell its going to be my best friend during the fall/winter months since bailey has allergies bad, i'm sure its going to save me alot of emergency room trips because she gets too congested and the dry air in our home making it worse. I really recommend any and all N.I.C.U Parents, Past-Present,and Future to definitly try Air-O-Swiss humidifiers for there little miracles, i can assure you that you will be pleased with the products and the price!

David's Cookie's Review!

You know when your UPS guy brings you a package and says that he always orders from them, that the cookie's must be good... and that's just what happened to me.

I was laying on the couch,my doorbell rang and i knew it was my long-awaited package from David's Cookies. Now, Regularly, my beloved friend Mr.UPS guy drops off the packages and leaves, this time? No. He stayed to make sure i picked them up ( so they didnt melt or anything ) and when i picked them up he told me i'd really love them , he orders them for himself and his family quite often, and they are all big fans!

I eagerly opened the box with the help of my 14 month old little girl, and pulled out a nice, red tin full of cookies..... I was so excited! they were wrapped perfectly and packed tight so no chance of breaking through the nice long ride to my house  :-)  I was sent the 1 lb tin to review, which includes flavors chocolate Chunk, Peanut Butter, Macadamia and White Chips (baked with Coconut), Oatmeal Raisin, Ginger Molasses..Bailey got to choose out our first cookie, and she pulled out a peanut butter cookie. Now , anyone who knows me knows i LOVE peanut butter anything, peanut butter cookies are my favorite, but they have to be like my grandma made them..David's Cookie's .....well they are like my grandma made them, i dont know how they do it , but they make them taste soooooooooo wonderful i could eat a 5 lb. tin of just peanut butter cookies!! My mom, JT and I had all the cookies eaten in 48 hours, with the help of bailey who decided she could much on one while mommy wasnt looking. Now, Even though i LOVED the peanut butter cookie, i must say, the one i like most out of my tin was the White chocolate macadamia baked with coconut. It was sweet and salty and just..amazing. You could taste the coconut but it wasn't overbearing.All in all i give david's cookies 10/10......and Bailey agrees!!

David's cookies would be great to send to a family member for any occasion, or just because!

Be sure to check out David's Cookies...and like them on facebook!

Suave Professionals Hair Care line Review : - )

* i was sent two shampoos,two conditioners,and a hairspray for review, no other compensation was given!*

I think we've all seen the suave professional hair care line commercials at least once, am i right??I'm right.

I had heard numerous things about suave professionals, some said it was great, some said less-than great. I had to try it for my self. I contacted suave and they graciously sent me five products for review!!

I have always been a big fan of suave, they are the product i've used most of my life, and now i have even more reason to keep going back to them!

The first set of items i was sent for review was the Aloe Vera and Ginseng Shampoo and Conditioner. The first thing i did when i recieved the items was smell them,cause chances are if it doesnt smell amazing, i wont use it , but ohhh boy it smells WONDERFUL . It's a cool refreshing smell nothing to sharp/strong!
I used this set of shampoo / conditioner that night and it made my hair feel so soft and bouncy, and it gave back the moisture it's been missing ( Believe me, the last few days before that my hair was soo dry and frizzy..It was not fun! ) I absolutely love it!

The second set of items i was sent was The Rosemary and Mint Shampoo and conditioner. This is the set dear ol' JT tryed ( He's too manly for aloe vera and ginseng..lol ). I told him that he had to smell it first, and he loved it, you smell the mint with a light hint of rosemary and it's awesome. That day before work,He tryed it out and it was awesome.His hair is so ridiculously dry its not funny, he's got a natural curl to it and often ends up with dreaded split ends,and this really helped out alot. His hair is now full of moisture and is so much easier to tend to!! He is a huge fan of suave now, and i know he'll keep using the rosemary and mint shampoo!!

The final item i was sent was the freezehold hairspray. I know what you all are thinking...freeze hold? I dont want my hair to look and feel like a rock!!!!That's exactly what i thought too, but in all fairness to suave, i tryed it out..willing to risk rock hair! Well guess what? The freeze hold is AWESOME okay, it holds your hair exactly as you want it, be it curly, straightened, pulled back in to a bun, or even to pull a snooki... but you can't even feel the hairspray there! I used it when i pulled my hair back into a bun, it held my bangs back, the bun in place but didnt even look like i had an ounce of hair spray in it!




Take my word for it, or go out and try it for yourself!!I love suave and will be a fan forever! :)

Crazy Baby Clothing Review

* I was sent a diaper bag for review, no other compensation was given!*

Look at what came in my mail the other day....

YES!!!! It's another diaper bag...Now, i don't know about you,but I can never seem to keep a diaper bag clean for too long, so it's always good to have a spare on hand ( and now this diaper bag is my primary!!!!!)
This diaper bag has two pockets outside(one on each end,perfect for holding bottles and sippy cups!) Two pockets inside (right when you flip the top open!) and one zipper pocket on the inside of the bag!(Great for change)

The reason i love this diaper bag is because i have plenty of room for everything i carry!
I have room for a sippy cup/bottle on each end, I have room to put diapers on the inside pockets right under the flap, and i have room for change in the zipper pocket!.I also have room for two spare outfits each for my babies,in case of spills or getting sick, and the formula and wipes and my wallet too with room for any extra neccesities i can come up with. my diaper bags used to look like a tornado went through,now its perfectly organized and I have easy access to everything i need,even if im in a rush!

Crazy baby clothing doesn't just sell diaper bags, Oh no... They also sell Clothing,bottles, you name it they have it for your little ones!

Check out this awesome Argyle baby gift set! It comes with the onesie, a bib, a blanket, two pacifiers and a beanie!! and it's under $50.00 for the whole set! this company has GREAT Prices!!

This is another Example of the items they sell.a four pack of onesies for the rocker in your life :-)

They truelly have something for all the little rockstars and punks in your world!!

dezign with a Z REVIEW

* i was sent four random sets of decals for review, no other compensation was given!*


Dezign with a z is  one awesome place to get decals for your childrens wall, they are unique, they are creative, and they are AFFORDABLE!


I was sent four sets of decals- for bailey,purple butterflys and pink dots, for brennan large green stars, and blue dots!

I couldn't wait to get them on the walls, so off i went , i started cutting the decals apart so they were easier to spread around, and then went to work posting them up..... I got baileys dots posted, and then took a break til my friend came over to get the rest done.
They were very easy to apply, and very beautiful once placed. The decals come in three layers, the transfer tape,the decal,and the white paper backing.
To apply you simply rub over the decal with a credit card or squeegee, then pull the paper backing off, stick the transfer tape/decal to the wall, rub over it again with the credit card, and remove the tape! Simple!!

These are some of the decals in the babies room!!
 The purple butterflys trace from wall of baileys room,all the way around to the opposite wall!!! It's so adorable and was so simple to do with these decals!They came off perfectly !

 

The pink Dots, on another one of bailey's walls!

and the green stars, on brennan's wall!!Be

TruKid hair and body care line review :)

* I was sent numerous products from trukid for review ,no other compensation was given.all opinions are mine (unless otherwise noted) and are 100%  honest*

For review, i was sent the Shampoo,a sample of conditioner,the bubbly body wash,facewash,detangler, the sunnydays sunscreen and the sunnydays face and body stick.

First, lets start with the shampoo/conditioner. Let me just say, i love this. It really doesn't have a scent,which i prefer, because having baileys kind of hair, the heavily scented shampoos and condtioners dont always turn out to well, and it ends up making her hair stink :-( ( probably the chemicals dont do well on her hair!)  I used the conditioner as well and it left her hair feeling soooo soft! :)
Here's what the website has to say about the shampoo -Product Description: TruKid’s Silly Shampoo is a mild, safe cleanser for kids' sensitive skin and hair that effectively removes surface oil, and dirt without stripping natural oils. Lightly scented with TruKid’s essential oil blend, there are no parabens, SLS, artificial colors or fragrances in this biodegradable formula. 8oz.

The conditoner states " Keeps hair healthy and cool! TruKid’s Cool Conditioner is made with chamomile extract that offers an anti-inflammatory, regenerating effect and adds shine to hair. Great for sensitive skin and lightly scented with TruKid’s citrus essential oil blend, this all-natural formula is the perfect follow up to TruKid’s Silly Shampoo. This biodegradable formula does NOT contain parabens, SLS, Phthalates, artificial colors or fragrances. 8oz. bottle"

The detangler is soooo good on her hair, it really softens up and brings out her pretty little curls while making it easier to brush her hair I even use it on MY hair, and that is unusual cause all detangler makes my hair really sticky and gross, you can't even tell that i have detangler in with this! :) Detangler on the site states " : No more fuss or hurties when you brush your hair! Our Dancing Detangler has a special non-sticky formula that takes the pain out of combing and brushing your hair. Works great on hair of all ethnicities. Please get parents help when using this product. Ingredients * Indicates certified organic ingredients Ingredients in bold = extract Purified Water, Aloe Barbadensis, Glycerin, Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5), Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Polysorbate-20, Arnica Cordifolia (Arnica) Extract, Avandula Angustifolia (Lavender), Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria Flower Oil (Chamomile), Calendula Officinalis Flower (Calendula), Camellia Sinensis Leaf (White Tea) Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Oil, Citrus Junus 
(Yuzu) Oil, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Oil." 

I haven't used the lotion yet, but soon! very soon! cause when winter months come around I will be using it on her dry skin! :)

the facial wash is AMAZINGGGGG! :) It feels great on my face and really soft on baileys face, if you are an adult, i recommend this for oily skin it helps so much!  More on these products when i get to test them! But in the mean time check them out online .
