Mothers Day Gift Guide: Roku Digital Video Player Review and giveawayCLOSED
The Roku digital video player is like having your own video library at home with over 50,000 choices— from the best movies, TV shows and sports. It’s the easiest way to watch anything and everything from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, and MLB.com instantly on your TV. The Roku player has received overwhelmingly positive reviews in The Wall Street Journal, CNET, WIRED, and elsewhere.
The Roku player also detects internet bandwith and is also wifi ready. It features tons of channels like MLB TV, watch all your favorite baseball games. Most of the channels you need to pay for, but they do have some free channels. Pandora is a internet radio channel, where you can choose your favorite artist or song to play. I choose Taylor Swift and it will play songs from her as well as other popular country artists.
You can even link to your Facebook and Flickr account to access your photos on tv. With the Facebook channel, you can access any photos that have your name on them. So if someone tags you in a photo you can still access that photo.
We just can not get enough of this player. Its so much easier than having to drive to the movie store or wait for your DVDs in the mail. Its cheaper too, we went to blockbuster a few weeks ago and rented two movies at 5 dollars piece for 5 days. Roku instant watching with Netflix you can watch movies at any time, no waiting, no late fees and there are over 17,000 movies to choose from.The downside is there are some movies that can only be accessed through dvd.
I actually think we have been watching way more tv, then we usually do since I received the Roku. It’s a lot more movie date nights at home though! For 79.99 it is very much worth the money. This would be a great gift for any mom.

Give the Kids A Ring Pop Sugar Free Review and GiveawayCLOSED
product Description: Parents can now feel even better about giving Ring Pop to their kids because Sugar Free Ring Pop won’t cause cavities, has no fat, and has only 30 calories per great-tasting, long-lasting pop! Sugar Free Ring Pop is the perfect treat and comes in Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, Strawberry!
****I gave these to my kids and they loved them. They couldn’t really even tell they didn’t have sugar in them. This is a better alternative to the original that have sugar in them, these are sweetened with Splenda. The downside to it, for me at least is artificial sweeteners tend to give me a stomach ache. They still look the same, come in bright fun colors, and of course the kids like them.
You can find these at Walmart stores nationwide.
I have two packages of sugar free ring pops to giveaway(bag contains 3)

Pringles Multi-Grain Chips
Pringles Multigrain and chef Tyler Florence have teamed up to start the U taste We Donate campaign. The campaigns mission is to end childhood hunger, for the 17 million children facing hunger in America.
Basically what you can do to help is enter the UPC code from any Pringles multigrain product at www.pringlesmultigrain.com , Then Pringles Multigrain will donate $1 to Share Our Strength through 6/30/10.
There are 3 flavors of the new Pringles Multigrain, you can choose from Truly Original, Cheesy Cheddar, and Creamy Ranch.
****I have to say the Cheesy Cheddar and Creamy Ranch are really good, But the Truly Original does not really have that good of a taste. They still come in a snack can, so you don’t have to worry about greasy hands. I also received a very cute Pringle’s tote bag, that has a lot of efficient pockets, can be used a summer beach tote.
“I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Pringles Multigrain and received a tote bag with samples to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

Fathers Day Gift Guide: Schick Hydro 5 Review & GiveawayCLOSED
Product description: The new Schick Hydro will revolutionize men’s shaving by protecting and caring for skin while it removes hair. Thanks to many first to market technologies. These new technologies are proven to reduce irritation, providing men with refreshing, liberating shaves.
Features:
- Skin Guards — Skin guards are innovative skin protectors that actually smooth out skin between blade tips to reduce irritation. Only Schick Hydro delivers this technology.
- Advanced Hydrating Gel Reservoir — The Hydro blade cartridge uses proprietary technology to pack advanced lubrication – with soothing aloe vera and vitamin E – into a Hydrating Gel Reservoir that reinvents the lubricating strip that is found on most razors today. Men typically shave away their shave gels with the first stroke of their razor. The lubrication delivered by Schick Hydro adds hydration in multiple strokes, providing lubrication from start to finish and reducing irritation.
- Flip Trimmer — With the flip trimmer on the five-blade razor, men can flip back the Hydrating Gel Reservoir so that all five blades touch the skin, as opposed to the single edging blade on most razors.
- Ergonomic Handle — It’s something most men may never think about, but Schick even obsessed over developing an extremely comfortable, ergonomically effective handle. Consumer testing helped to whittle down several potential handle designs, applying men’s insights and opinions on ergonomics, grip, appearance and many other factors.
- Hydro Shave Gels — Designed to work with and enhance the Schick Hydro razors, the new Sensitive Skin™ and Moisturizing™ Shave Gels help to deliver maximum closeness and comfort.
****the biggest concern both me and my husband have when we shave is irritation. We have sensitive skin, so shaving often tends to irritate the skin. Schick Hydro 5 is definitely a razor that is worth trying. With the extra lubrication tat is added to the razor, there are no worries about skin drying out. The shave creams are great to, I’m fond of the sensitive skin. My legs always itch after using shaving cream, with the moisturizer shave gel, I didn’t have any problems.
Schick Hydro comes in 3 blades or 5 blades. Plus they also have hydro shave gel in moisturizing and sensitive skin.
Retail:razor $7.99, shave gel $3.99
Release: just released in April
