Brag Worthy Christmas ~ SOUND+SLEEP Machine Sleep Therapy System Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

Sleep Better without a prescription

Since I am pregnant I have had trouble sleeping lately so I have been looking for a drug-free sleep solution to help me sleep better at night. When I searching my options I came across the SOUND+SLEEP system and had to try it out.

When it arrived I was really impressed by the size of the unit. It is nice and small and doesn’t take up much space on my night stand. I also like the sleek black design, it looks great.

But the real wow factor came when I turned it on for the first time. The sound is so clear and a great quality. I have tried other cheap sound machines and their sound quality is nothing like the SOUND+SLEEP. The sounds from this machine are all recorded from nature so they are very real sounds. It also has a precise volume control buttons so you can get the volume that is perfect for you. At first I thought the price was high for a sound machine but once I heard it I knew it was worth every penny!

I have been using the SOUND+SLEEP machine for about a week now and I have noticed an improvement in my sleep. I fall asleep much faster and I don’t wake up as much as I used to. I feel more rested when I wake up in the morning so I know I am getting a deeper better sleep. My favorite sound to sleep to is brook, with my second choice as rainfall. The water sounds are really soothing to me. You can hear a sample of the sounds here.

I have also found my SOUND+SLEEP unit is perfect for relaxation. I love the Meditation sound for this. I will turn it on and sit in my room to unwind after a long busy day. It really helps me to relax and de-stress before an evening with my family.

If you don’t want the machine to run all night you can set the timer for 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. This is a great option for nap time (for you or your kids) my son wakes up when the timer goes off so I can schedule his naps for the length I need.

Another thing I love is that there is a display button you can push and the lights on the machine will go off. I really appreciate this since I don’t like any lights on in my room while I sleep. An added bonus!

If you suffer from insomnia or just want improved nights of sleep I highly recommend the SOUND+SLEEP system.

Things that are Brag Worthy:

Rich, Natural Sleep
Adaptive Sound Technology
10 High-Definition Sound Profiles (sound great!)
Unit is small and doesn’t take up a lot of space
Sleep timer
Display light optional
Volume buttons give you precise volume control
The perfect gift for loved ones this Christmas

Brag Worthy Christmas ~ Sweet Tomatoes & Souplantation Take-Home Dishes for the Holidays ~ Cobbler Review

I absolutely love Sweet Tomatoes and they have a perfect new addition to their yummy menu. Sweet Tomatoes and Souplantation Take-Home Dishes for the Holidays is the perfect way to share some yummy food with your family.

I was able to pick up the Georgia Peach take home cobbler and it was YUMMY! This year we spent Thanksgiving with my husbands family and I brought the cobbler to see what everyone thought of it. All I heard from his family (and from me) was how yummy it was! I loved that I could just pick it up and stick it in the fridge till I was ready to bake it. So so easy!

The new holiday take-home items follow the success of the take-and-bake Cranberry Apple Cobbler offered for the first time last year. “Our guests responded so favorably to the Cranberry Apple Cobbler last season that we believe there’s a demand for even more delicious, made-from-scratch holiday foods that don’t require endless hours in the kitchen,” said Joan Scharff, vice president of brand and menu strategy. “All year long, our culinary team has been busy in our test kitchen developing both savory side dishes and desserts for the bake-at-home items we’re featuring this year. We’re excited to hear our guests’ reactions to these seasonal side dishes and desserts as we think they are the perfect addition to holiday meals.”

Beginning Dec. 1 through Dec. 31, the following holiday take-home dishes will be available for ordering and pick-up:

·Smoked Turkey & Spinach Tossed Salad

·Turkey Chutney Pasta Salad

·Available cobbler varieties: Caramel Apple, Cranberry Apple, Georgia Peach, Mixed Berry & Apple, Tart Cherry and Orchard Apple

Did You Like the Finale of Smallville? What Was Your Favorite Part? What Would You Change?

What I enjoyed most throughout the series of Smallville was watching each character evolve. Especially Clark. He started out feeling burdened by having his powers and moving through all different places to finally embrace who he is and be hero and a leader.

In the final episode was so happy to see Lois get an amazing story while on Air Force One, that was really cool. As well as see her realize her fears while relevant didn’t matter because she is the most important person in Clark’s life.

Of course I loved the wedding! I am a woman and we love these types of things. I even teared up watching it

I enjoyed seeing which side Tess finally chose and what she did to Lex was great. I loved the way it ended. I am really going to miss new episodes. Thank heaven I can get the complete series on DVD!

I would love to hear your thoughts on the finale. What was your favorite? What would you change?

Did you miss an episode want to catch up on the last season or the Complete series? Order Smallville 10th Season DVD: http://bit.ly/sB4sYu or the Smallville The Complete Series: http://bit.ly/tGOjMX.

I have been hired by Warner Bros WBWord division to raise awareness for Smallville.

My boys LOVE the Battle Machines R/C Laser Combat Air vs. Land. They couldn’t wait to start playing with it once it arrived. It has gotten a lot of play time since then. It is great that they can both play and take turns being the remote control helicopter or the gun. It is a great toy with an awesome wow factor. I highly recommend it.

It comes with a Helicopter, Gun Tower, 2 Controllers and an Extra “blade” (small propeller). It does not include the batteries and it requires 11 AA batteries so be sure to have those on hand.

Brag Worthy Christmas ~ My Monster Burrufu Children’s Book Review

Seven-year-old Olivia has just moved to a new house — the same house where a
lonely monster named Burrufu lives hidden in a secret attic. One night, unable
to resist the smell of delicious cookies, Burrufu sneaks out and is discovered
by Olivia. The two soon learn that you can find friendship in the most
unexpected places. ‘My Monster Burrufu’ is a story of overcoming fear, a curse,
and a most unusual monster who learns from a little girl how to trust his heart.

I was so excited to read this book. I thought that the cover art for this book was adorable. I was excited to discover that this book had many great pictures in it. The illustrations are so cute and have so much personality. Alessandra Sorrentino did an amazing job with pictures. With the amazing pictures and fabulous writing, I loved reading My Monster Burrufu!

The main character in this book, a little girl named Olivia was so cute! She is hyper, happy little girl with a great love of cookies. In a majority of the book, Olivia has cookies with her. I love how developed the character is. By the end of the book, I felt like I really knew Olivia. A major reason for this is the great writing by the author, Alberto Corral.

One of the main lessons from this book is to not judge a person or a monster by its outside. In the book, Olivia meets a monster named Burrufu who lives in her attic. Burrufu does not like being around people because he is afraid of scaring them. This has also made Burrufu very grumpy. Olivia accepts Burrufu for who he is and it turns into a wonderful friendship. I think that this is a great book to be an example of how we should treat people who are different.

This is a great children’s book for the whole family! It is a great book for middle grade elementary school students to read by themselves, but it would be a great read-aloud for the family to read together. I think that books are great Christmas gifts and this would be a fabulous children’s book to get for Christmas! It is available for purchase on Amazon.

My Monster Burrufu gets bragging rights!

Get Designer Swimwear Like Paradizia and Phax at Swimwear360

I have become a huge fan of designer swimwear. It just stands out in a crowd unlike the plain swim suits you will find at your local bargain store. Not that there is anything wrong with that I love a great deal myself but designer swimwear just has such fabulous designs, patterns and details. I have also found that the designer swimwear is made from better fabrics meaning they last and look better much longer.

Right now I have my eye on the gorgeous swimsuits from paradizia and phax. They are so much fun. I know if I get one (or two or three) suits from a designer brand like this that I will look and feel great while at the pool. And that is priceless.

You can check out all the gorgeous designer swimwear available at Swimwear360.com.

“The new Ultralight Caboose is the lightest, most maneuverable tandem stroller available on the market today.

At 21 pounds the Caboose Ultralight is 20% lighter than the original Caboose and far lighter than most double strollers. When we say maneuverable, we mean it! The Caboose Ultralight can navigate narrow spaces with ease. The large, sealed ball bearing wheels give your children a smooth ride and you’ll find it is super easy to push. And thanks to its minimal weight, you can steer with just one hand!Kids absolutely love the independence and “cool” element the Caboose offers. The patented Stand-On-Tandem design gives your older child the freedom to choose between walking, standing and sitting. Parents tell us this single feature alone has given their child a head start at developing a healthy independence – a “win-win’ for both parents and kids alike.The Caboose Ultralight offers a cool, modern style and its tough 600D nylon fabric is available in rich, vivid colors: Blueberry, Orangie, Greenie, Brownie and Black.”-Joovy

I have to admit I have fallen in love with a stroller. Yes it is true. While I thought it wasn’t possible to love a stroller so much I have now learned what true stroller love is Because I am now the proud owner of a Joovy Ultralight Caboose Stand-On Tandem Stroller. I chose Brownie as my color and it is a great choice. The brown and black look fabulous together and since I don’t know yet if I am expecting a boy or girl it is the perfect gender neutral color choice.

It was really easy to assemble, it took my hubby less than 10 minutes to set it up. You just have to put the wheels on and the canopy and your all set.

I love how easy it is to open and close. This is a must have for me and the strollers I use. It really is effortless. Another great feature is that it folds down pretty flat (especially compared to other tandem strollers) and easily fits in the truck of my car. It is also really light for a double stroller weighing in at only 21 lbs. This is nice because I can easily lift it in and out of the car by myself.

The front seat can be used as a regular stroller seat with 3 levels of recline. It can be used from 6 months to 45 lbs. Or you can use the included universal car seat adapter and put your infant car seat on the front seat. So basically the front seat can can be used from birth up to 45 lbs. My 4 year old can fit in the front seat well and the canopy is high enough that his head doesn’t touch.

Your older child can ride on the back either standing or sitting on the bench seat. The bench seat pulls out when they are sitting on it, and pushes in to make room for them to stand on the platform. It also has handles for your child to hold while they are standing. The back seat is suggested to be used from 2.5 years to 45 lbs. It is perfect for your older child who likes to get in and out of the stroller often but still needs to hitch a ride. Something to note is that when the front seat is fully reclined it is hard for your child to sit on the bench seat since they don’t have much room. This isn’t a problem since I just have Bug stand when the front seat is reclined.

I love the canopy coverage. It provides coverage for both the child in the front and the child in the back. It also folds all the way down to completely cover the child in the front, I love this!

I really like that the Ultralight comes with parent organizer so I have 2 cup holders and a zipper pocket to hold my cell phone, keys, etc…

I am so excited to use this stroller once my new baby arrives. It is the perfect stroller for someone with a baby and an older child who wants independence. It provides a nice smooth ride for your kids and it is really easy to maneuver. And since it is a tandem you can fit through regular door ways and isles when your shopping at stores. I highly recommend this tandem double stroller!

Any parent will be thrilled to get the Joovy Ultralight Caboose Stroller as a Christmas gift!

Brag Worthy Christmas ~ HABA Pulling Figure Diego Dragon Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

“What is that dashing like little red lightening through the room? It’s Diego Dragon! Flapping frantically he is already preparing for his next round. Moving tail, wobbling wings when pulled by string.”

This little Dragon is so adorable. My first reaction when I pulled it out of the box was how wonderfully bright it is. The colors are so vibrant making baby immediately drawn to it. I gave this to my 1 year old niece and she was instantly attached. She pulled it all around the house with her every where she went. I love how the wings move and flip as it is pulled. Very cute! I love HABA toys because they are such good quality and are made to last through generations.

This wooden pull string toy makes the perfect Christmas gift for your baby or toddler this year!

Brag Worthy Christmas ~ Minted Holiday Cards Review

Now that the holidays are here, it is time to start thinking about sending out Holiday Cards to all your family and friends! I have been sending Christmas cards for several years now and I LOVE doing it. We don’t have family close by so cards are a great way to stay in touch. My favorite kind of cards are those with photos on them because I always love seeing how families change over the years. Minted has an amazing selection of Holiday Cards that will be perfect for sending out this year!

“At Minted, we love the idea that our products will find their way into your most personal celebrations, and we don’t take that honor lightly. That’s why we only use fine paper stock, rich inks, and crisp printing methods. We guess you could say that quality is an obsession for us. We stand behind our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.”

The great thing about Minted, is that they feature several different designers so theirs is a unique selection with a lot of different styles to choose from. It took me a while to decide which card I was going to use this year because I had so many favorites! They have Flat cards, folded cards, storyboard cards, and minibook cards….so you are sure to find something you absolutely love. I decided on a Yearline Card this year so I could give a little update of what our family is up to. It was a lot of fun to make and I can’t wait to send them out!

Minted makes it easy to personalize your Holiday cards as well. You choose your photo/photos, text, and most cards have different color options. Also, if you want to tweak your favorite card a little more, you can request it from the designer and they will try to help you out. Once you have designed your card to your liking, you will receive a free proof before your whole order prints so you can be sure everything will be perfect. Not only do you get to personalize your card, you can choose a lot of different options such as lined envelopes, cute address labels, and more!

Baby Steps ~ Find Solutions for All Your Baby’s Needs

Having a baby is a wonderful experience. But when I was pregnant with Bug I realized there was a lot I didn’t know about babies. I had a lot of questions and sometimes had to search and search online to find the answers. I have found even with my second I still don’t have all the answers. Each baby is so different. I was thrilled when I was introduced to Baby Steps. It is a wonderful resource to find answers to your baby questions and needs.

You start by selecting a category and then use the filter to narrow down your results based on your baby’s age and weight. I love that it shows you videos with the information rather than just giving you reading material. It is so easy to use and the information provided very helpful. Baby Steps is a resource I will be using regularly.

Visit Baby Steps today and share this wonderful video resource with your friends and family via your social networks!

MikaRose has a fabulous collection of Modest Dresses for Women. I had the chance to visit the MikaRose store in the University Mall in Orem. (If your not in Utah don’t worry they have a website!). The store was beautiful from the minute I walked in I was flooded with a fabulous aroma and chic dresses were surrounding me. My first though: “They are all so pretty, how will I choose?”

One of the ladies working at the store came up to me right away and asked if she could help. Great service. I picked out a bunch of fun dresses and went to the dressing room to try them on. While I was in there the lady came a couple of times asking if I needed anything. She also brought me a few more dresses to try on. She was really sweet.

I found a dress that I absolutely love! It is soft and comfortable and looks great on me. I love that it is completely modest and still flatters my body at the same time. What’s great about MikaRose is that you can find a dress for all occasions. Business, Casual, Dressy, etc…

Brag Worthy Christmas ~ Sili Squeeze Pack Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

“It’s not a bottle

It is a squeeze intended for pureed foods such as applesauce, blended berries and veggie blends.

The Sili Squeeze™ was developed out of the desire to feed my growing baby nutritious food on the go whether in the car seat, stroller, or shopping cart. The squeeze is “mommy hands free”, so your little ones can squeeze themselves silly, without the mess and wastefulness of a disposable squeeze.

Sili Squeezers can emerge as young as six months, their individual ability to squeeze will vary from month to month as they grow. Once they have found their ‘squeeze’, the yummy possibilities are limitless”

I have super picky eaters- it’s a struggle to get them to eat fruits and veggies. However, when I discovered the new trend of pureed fruits and veggies in squeezable pouches, I tried them and my boys LOVED them! What a great way to get some nutrition in my kids that doesn’t involve begging or bribing? The only problem is, those squeezable pouches are UBER expensive. They are great once in a while, but this coupon clipping mama can’t justify it every day. That is, until I found The Sili Squeeze / reusable squeeze! I was/am SO excited about this product- it is a lifesaver for us. Now I can puree my own fruits and veggies, as well as buy more reasonably priced, even organic baby food, and “pouch” them myself. It’s great for applesauce and yogurt, and it’s easy to puree some fruit, and sneak in some veggies too. It’s great for toddler feeding, because it’s spill proof. The Sili Squeeze’s website has a great recipe page, so be sure to check that out. There is a little bit of a learning curve- the boys couldn’t quite get it at first, because you have to squeeze the nipple and the pouch, but once they figured it out they were good to go. I didn’t mind it taking a little bit, because that means no spill on my carpets! =) This product is high quality, and I know it will last a while. It’s so perfect for on-the-go! Even a lunchbox. Thanks Sili Squeeze, we love eating healthier, easier!

And guess what? “The Sili Company is working on the production of: The Sili Squeeze with Eeeze nipple spout, which is the second generation of nipple spouts for our original product the Sili Squeeze. Unlike the original Sili Squeeze nipple spout with its patent-pending, spill-proof design, the Sili Squeeze with Eeeze nipple spout has no resistance valve. The Sili Squeeze with Eeeze is no longer spill-proof like the original Sili Squeeze, however, this alternative nipple spout is perfect for children or persons of any age who require easy-to-use, resistance-free feeding in the form of purees and blends. The Sili Squeeze with Eeeze nipple spouts will be available for purchase in early 2012.”

Things that are Brag Worthy:

An easy, spill proof way for your kids to eat their favorite pureed foods!
Makes a great Christmas gift / Stocking Stuffer!
Great for on-the-go
Easy to clean- 100% dishwasher safe
BPA Free
They use use minimal packaging for our products and recyclable shipping materials. Our reusable products encourage the elimination of single-use, disposable products.
They have a great recipe page

Disney’s The Muppets Film Review~ Opens in Theaters Today!

On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

I would like to start out that I am a HUGE Muppets fan. I have seen all of the movies and watched the Muppet Babies cartoon when I was little. I know my Muppets. It has been several years since a decent Muppet movie has been made. I was excited to see if this film would be the Muppets’ comeback.

I was SO happy watching this movie. I had a big grin on my face the whole film. With its corny songs and typical Muppet humor, this film will please Muppet fans of all ages and hopefully the Muppets will gain a few more fans.

The human performances in this movie were great! Jason Segal (who also helped write the screenplay) is fabulous as Gary. You can tell that Segal has a true love for the Muppets. He is having the time of his life during this movie. You can tell. Amy Adams is also great as his girlfriend Mary. She is just as cute in this as she was in Enchanted. I have to say that I really enjoy Chris Cooper as the villain, Tex Richman. Cooper actually raps in this movie. It is awesome!

There were also so many celebrity cameos in this movie. I was excited to see what celebrity would show up in each scene. By far my favorite was the celebrity that showed up during the “Man or Muppet” song. I am going to be spoiler free but this song was awesome and by far my favorite moment in the film.

So to put it simply, go see the Muppets! You will be happy!
