CityGrips Stroller Handlebar Covers {REVIEW}

Boy do I ever wish that CityGrips were around when my kids were babies. You spend SO much time pushing a stroller around and let’s face it, those handle bars are not the most comfortable, at least mine weren’t. CityGrips are funky stroller bar handle covers. They can be easily removed from your handlebars to be washed which is so great because we all know that strollers get very dirty – even from the parents! If you are a germ-o-phobe like me, this is a such a blessing because all you have to do is take off the covers and … Continue reading

The Mommy Hook {REVIEW}

The Mommy Hook has been a saving grace around our house. I have been known to carry everything around with me but the kitchen sink and the Mommy Hook helped me accomplish this. The Mommy Hook is a super large caribener that is padded to help parents hang items from their stroller. The carabiner is made of metal so unlike my other stroller hooks, it won’t break and it is so large that your stroller will fall over before you fill it up. I love to use The Mommy hook when shopping in the mall, but it is also helpful … Continue reading

Dance Central 2 for Xbox Kinnect {REVIEW}

I received a copy of Dance Central 2 after I posted about my opinions on Xbox and my family.I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first played it because the only other experiences I had had with xBox were with Dance Dance Revolution (which uses a foot pad) and Zumba. I was so excited when I first started playing it. Even though the game is rated “T” for “Teen”, my children still love to play with me. They cannot always do the moves, but it is the fun of the game that counts (or at least that is what … Continue reading

K-Savers are a great invention for those of us who enjoy our K-cups for our Keurig coffee maker, but we also have ground coffee (or beans and a grinder) too!These metal lids simply click onto an already used K-cup in order to make your very own K-cup with whatever ground coffee you have on hand. Although there is a large variety of K-cups available, there are some coffee brands that I love and would love to be able to use them in the convenience of my 1 cup Keurig brewing system! You can do this so easily with K-savers. You … Continue reading
