Gomu – The Collectible Erasers – Have Invaded My House

by Katie

Ever since I received a package of Gomu’s, my daughter has been at the table lining them up, giving them each the chance to be the “Eraser of the Day”!

Gomu Collectible Erasers

Just what is a Gomu?

Gomu is the collectible eraser that is bursting with fun! With over a 100 different Gomu to collect, from pets, gadgets, music and the zoo, there is a Gomu for whatever you’re into. Discover ultra-rare Gomu’s with a surprise in every pack and take them apart to mix and match for your own unique characters.

Get in the Gomu spirit and bring them to school for trading and swapping with friends. You can also discover how rare your Gomu is using G-Points. Collect and swap to maximize your total Gomu value.

Each time you open a Gomu you have the chance to find 1 of the Ultra rare Gold or Silver Key erasers.

Gomu Collectible Erasers

Gomu’s come in 3 different sized packages, single, 3 pack and 6 pack. In both the 3 pack and 6 pack you will receive 1 or tow (depending on the pack) “mystery” erasers. Betsy could hardly contain herself when I showed her the Gomu’s. She was on pins and needles ripping open the packages to see what her “mystery” erasers were!

Gomu’s are neat because they aren’t just one type of eraser, like animals for example. Gomu’s come in every shape and size. From an animal to a musical instrument and everything in between. Betsy happens to be an eraser addict. She loves having them and using them. With the Gomu’s it is different though. She doesn’t want to use them like a regular eraser. The Gomu’s to her are more like a fashion accessory and she will lay them all out and talk to them and give them each a chance to be “used” without using them so much that they disappear.

If you have a child that likes collecting or likes erasers, you should introduce them to Gomu. Reasonably priced, the Single Gomu pack has a suggested retail price of .99 and they can be found at major retailers like KMart, Target, Walmart, and Toys r Us!

And even better you can go online and keep track of your collection.

Checkout Gomu.com and start collecting today!

Sweet Treats for Mother’s Day – Shari’s Berries

by Katie

“Maybe I can take the box in my room and lock the door, then no one can share this with me.” That is what I was thinking when I received the Cheesecake Trio & Full Half Dozen Giant Dipped Fancy Berries.

Seriously.

But, alas, the other reviewers in my house (Reece & Betsy) needed to try them as well. When I opened the box of dipped strawberries I was shocked at just how big they actually were. I know the description says “Giant” and they were not joking. These were literally the biggest strawberries I have ever seen! My kids and I actually split the first dipped strawberry. It was so rich and “chocolately” and the strawberry itself was super juicy!

Next, we shared one of the cheesecakes. All three included in the Cheesecake Trio & Full Half Dozen Giant Dipped Fancy Berries were absolutely delicious! I actually had to hide one to keep it for myself and everyday I was going and taking a bite or two until it was gone. I was sad when the last bite was gone.

So if you are looking for a sweet treat this Mother’s Day, then you must check out the strawberries covered in chocolate for Mom at Shari’s Berries. From chocolate covered strawberries, to cheesecakes and cookies, to chocolate covered cherries and everything in between, you can find the perfect treat for your Mom.

Good News for My Readers!

I Am a Pedigree Dog Food Ambassador!

by Katie

Or, shall I say, Chloe, my Golden Retriever is the Pedigree Ambassador!

She wanted to personally introduce herself:

Because Chloe is the Pedigree Ambassador, I will interview her for you so that you can find out just what she is doing!

Me: So Chloe, I hear your owner, me, has recently transitioned you over to Pedigree Dog Food. Prior to the changeover, can you tell me what the overall condition of your coat and health were?

Chloe: Why yes, thank you for asking. The switchover to Pedigree food went very smoothly. I was at 100% Pedigree Dog Food for Large Breeds at day 7 and I cannot tell you how happy I was.

As for my coat and health, lets look at the Four Universal Needs shall we?

Skin & Coat - My coat has always been a little on the dull, dry side. I am wondering how eating Pedigree will help me with that. You know, it is hard to go strutting the fence when my fur is dull!

Oral Care - Now, I really don’t want to admit this, but I suppose everyone already knows. My breath is so horrendous that if an intruder broke into the house all I would have to do is breath on them and they would run for their lives. Seriously. I am really hoping Pedigree will help me with this.

Digestion – My digestive system is completely normal. I use the grass on a regular basis with no problems. This is a little personal don’t you think, Katie?

Me: I am sorry Chloe, but we need all this information.

Chloe - All right then. Just please don’t let that kind of information out in the neighborhood. It could ruin my reputation. Ok, where were we? Oh yes, the 4th and final Universal Need…Immunity. I can honestly say I rarely get sick. I am in very good health.

Me: That’s great Chloe, thanks. Now, tell me, what do you think of the Pedigree name and brand?

Chloe: Oh, you know it is a name that I have heard all my life and I have always trusted the Pedigree name that is why it is an honor for me to be a Pedigree Dog Food Ambassador.

Me: Just a few more questions Chloe. Tell me, how did you like the new food and would you recommend it to your friends?

Chloe: Oh, my! I just gobbled the food down and am always searching for more. You are feeding me enough aren’t you?

Me: Yes, Chloe. You are getting the recommended amount for a dog of your size.

Chloe: Hmm…I am not so sure about that…But I suppose I believe you. Anyway, yes, I would definitely recommend Pedigree to my friends. As a matter of fact, Max came to the fence the other day and I told him all about it. It is too bad not all humans can understand dogs because he told me his dog food was bad. Would you mind mentioning Pedigree to his owner?

Me: Of course I will Chloe and thank you for your time. Is there anything else you would like to add before I let you go?

Chloe: Well, I do have a busy schedule of playing and sleeping today so it is time for me to go, but I would like to tell you about a couple of things.

Have you checked out Pedigree.com lately? It is a site full of information and fun facts.

Did you know you can also follow Pedigree on Twitter and on Facebook they have an Adoption Drive Page?

I love Adoption Pages. I am actually an adopted dog you know.

I am off to play now…

Until my next Pedigree Ambassador Update…WOOF~ Chloe

I wrote this review while participating in an Ambassador campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Pedigree and received dog food to facilitate my reviews and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Celebrate Mother’s Day With ProFlowers Review & Giveaway

by Katie

I don’t know about you, but I love receiving flowers and plants on Mother’s Day. To me, they just symbolize Mother’s Day. I actually do not know of a year that my mom has not received one or the other on Mother’s Day.

If you are looking for a place to purchase Mother’s Day Plants, then you should check out ProFlowers. With a wide variety of beautiful Mother’s Day Plant’s to choose from, I would be surprised if you could not find one.

I received the Mardi Gras Orchid, and I must tell you, the picture doesn’t do it justice. The picture makes it look beautiful, but it is so much more beautiful in person.

From the time I ordered it to the time I received it, only took a few days and I was actually wondering how in the world were they going to package the delicate Mardi Gras Orchid without damaging it. I was really impressed with the way it was package. It was in an upright box, a completely secure on the inside.

Look at this beautiful Mardi Gras Orchid.

And this is not even half as beautiful as it looks in person. I was blown away by the quality of the flower.

You know what would make my day (hint, hint)? I would LOVE to receive the Love and Lavendar Wreath. Isn’t it beautiful?

Moon Dough Keeps My Kids Happy!

by Katie

Well, it was a nice sunny day today in Charlotte, NC…that is until the storm rolled around. Then my kids had to come inside. What to do? What to do? Well, Betsy ran to the cupboard and pulled out The Moon Dough Magic Zoo and she and Reece played with it while I made dinner.

The Moon Dough Magic Zoo includes:

• 1 Magic Molding Zoo
• 2 Winder Walkers
• 3 Animal Molds
• 1 Fence Mold
• 3 Colors of Moon Dough

This is the first activity set of Moon Dough my kids have ever used, and quite frankly, I like it! No mess, it is easy to clean up, plus, with the ability to mold animals and fences, it can keep them entertained for a long time. Betsy said she didn’t like the smell. Reece and I did not notice any smell. And besides, whatever she thought she was smelling (maybe it was my dinner!) it did not stop her from playing with it!

The Moon Dough Magic Retail Zoo has a suggested retail of 19.99.

You can also get the Magic Dough Refills that are Stackable and re-closable for clean and easy storage. Single and double refill packs available with eight color possibilities ranging in price from 2.99 – 4.99.

Moon Dough is a molding compound unlike that is is soft and marshmallow-like, cleans up easily, and never dries out so you can use it again and again. I know it was a great hit in my house – especially on those rainy stormy days when you still want your kids to be creative!

You can find Moon Dough at your local retail outlets or find them online at www.MoonDough.com.

Find Moon Dough on Twitter and Facebook.

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea – Teddy Bear Fragrance Gift Set

by Katie

I don’t know about you, but I am a scent addict. I really am. So when special occasions come around, my husband (and everyone else that knows me) knows that perfume is always a welcomed gift.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner and with budget’s tightening, it is nice to know that you can purchase nice, inexpensive gifts like the Teddy Bear Fragrance Gift Set without breaking the bank!

“According to the U.S. National Retail Federation, Americans spend approximately $100 each on Valentine’s gifts, meals and entertainment. This year, opt for a more affordable and unique way to show how much you love her with a Teddy Bear Fragrance Gift Set, featuring fragrances from Halle Berry, Faith Hill and Baby Phat.”

The Teddy Bear Fragrance Gift Set combines a plush, cuddly stuffed bear with a romantic scent. The Teddy Bear Fragrance Gift Set comes in the following scents:

Halle Berry Pure Orchid: For the alluring romantic, this Floral Woodsy fragrance evokes a mysterious sexiness and intriguing sensuality that leaves a memorable impression throughout the day and night.

Halle by Halle Berry: For the effortless beauty, this modern and sensuous Woodsy Oriental fragrance evokes the confidence and beauty of women with an enticing sensorial fusion.

Faith Hill True: Faith Hill True embodies the casual sensuality of the passionate and spirited beauty.

Faith by Faith Hill: Faith by Faith Hill is a sparkling bouquet with dimension and depth.

Baby Phat DARE ME: This captivating scent is the essence of independence, created for the flirtatious, fun-loving girl.

I received the The Teddy Bear Fragrance Gift Set with the “Faith Hill True” scent and quite enjoy the scent. It is not overpowering, too fruity, or too sweet. It has a hint of floral and citrus combined with a woodsy scent. Definitely a fragrance I would purchase again.

The Teddy Bear Fragrance Gift Sets can be found in most mass merchandisers and drug retailers for $15.99.

Freshpet Refrigerated Dog Food

by Katie

Recently, my dogs had the opportunity to try out Freshpet Refrigerated Dog Food. Freshpet is a company that believes that dogs are part of the family, they hold a special place in a family. For that reason they decided that pets also need good, high quality food. Not just food that is made as an afterthought.

My dogs tried a variety of Freshpets food and they clearly loved it. Rosie, the Australian Shepherd, knew something special was going to happen when I opened the refrigerator and pulled out FreshPet Dog Food – Homestyle Chunks – Chicken, turkey, vegetables & rice. She is a very smart dog and she remembered her previous experience with FreshPet Dog Food – Homestyle Slice & Serve Chicken, vegetables & rice so I am assuming she recognized the packaging and what I was doing.

Rosie has a thyroid problem, so we have to watch what we feed her. However, Freshpet suggested on their website that for overweight dogs, we should decrease food allowance by 10 to 20%. I also really like the fact that they also have Freshpet Veterinary Nutrition that is only available by prescription by your veterinarian. The veterinarian exclusive formulas are designed with higher levels of protein and fat that may not be appropriate for all healthy pets. In addition, the formulas contain no grains or vegetables found in other Freshpet formulas. I am definitely going to have to ask my vet about this!

What do I think?

I think Freshpet Refrigerated Dog Foods are great and here is why:

Freshpet foods only use only all natural ingredients
No preservatives or artificial coloring
The poultry used in their food has been inspected by the USDA
Freshpet food can be frozen if necessary
Freshpet food exceeds AAFCO’s minimum standards for canine and feline nutrition

What do my dogs think?

Rosie

“Well, you can try to outsmart me, but I know good food when I see it. Put FreshPet in my bowl and I will gobble it down AND lick my bowl! Oh, and don’t tell Maggie, but I have swooped in and eaten her Freshpet food when she wasn’t looking. Hey, it’s not my fault she isn’t paying attention!”

Chloe

“I would really like to steal someone else’s Freshpet food, but Maggie and Rosie intimidate me. Yes, I may way 40 lbs more than Rosie and 90 lbs more than Maggie, but they scare me sometimes. My favorite Freshpet food was the FreshPet Homestyle Select Fresh Bites – Beef and Vegetable. It was a delicious meal topped with gravy and I was completely satisfied.”

Maggie

“Who? What? Someone was stealing my Freshpet food? It’s on Rosie. You and I need to have a little talk. And Chloe, don’t be afraid of me! I won’t hurt you! I just want to play! I need to keep on top of my game if I want to keep the Freshpet Food to myself.”
