Boogie Wipes and Pampers Kandoo, OH MY!

Several months ago, after doing my first review of Boogie Wipes, I joined a team of brand ambassadors to help promote Boogie Wipes to friends, family, and people I meet while out and about.  The opportunity came as a surprise as I'd only heard of Boogie Wipes when I began doing reviews for my blog shortly after trying to get into blogging again.
In the few short months I've been an ambassador, I've seen the Boogie Wipes brand grow and expand to partner with Pampers Kandoo.
I've had the liberty to try out several new products in the Kandoo family at the perfect times in my daughter's life.  The most recent Pampers Kandoo products we've tried in this house:


1) Flushable Wipes, Sensitive - just in time to explore potty training
2) Tropical Smoothie Scented Body Wash - WARNING: you may want to take a bite out of your kid, as this stuff smells so yummy!
3) Salon Quality Detangler

I hope to provide adequate reviews as we use these products so that you become more familiar with them.  If you're interested in pricing or purchasing these wonderful products?  Take a gander at these lists on Amazon:
*Boogie Wipes
*Pampers Kandoo Flushable Wipes
*Pampers Kandoo Body Wash


If you've tried any of the other Body Wash Scents, tell me which is your favorite - if you did, in fact, try to take a bite out of your child while using the body wash, please don't incriminate yourself here ;)

Daydreaming about cars

You know, I love my 2005 Acura MDX ... I really do.  For a mommy mobile it has everything we need and a little extra horsepower to get up and go.  Honestly, when I was researching SUVs that we could afford at the time, I chose the MDX based on horsepower, alone, as it's comparable counterparts were lacking in that department.  I practically overlooked everything else, hehe.  We ended up spending more on it than planned, but we've been extremely happy with its spaciousness as it carries everything we need, including our most precious cargo, the little one, with extra room for our passengers despite the big car seat!
But, truth be told, I'm bored.  Before baby, I was accustomed to driving around in cars with manual shift only and customizing with them with rims, brakes, suspension upgrades and such.  My last car just after baby arrived was the newer TSX - not a special vehicle but it was beautiful and was a fun drive ever for a sedan.
So, my MDX had to go in for some recalls this week and they gave me a TSX loaner for the day.  Aside from the lack of electronics and not having a stick shift, it felt sooooo good to sit back in a car again.
Of course, that got me thinking ... if I could have any car of my choosing that also had plenty of space for family, kids, and travel, what would I choose? Honestly, I couldn't tell you what quick grocery getter has enough room, but I'm still eying the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon (with manual shit, of course) because of the horsepower.  It's going to be a while before we can talk about the next vehicle, but it never hurts to think ;)
What mommy mobile would you choose if you could afford an upgrade?

Centrum Flavor Burst: Adult Multivitamin Chews - Review

I recently received a sample of Centrum Flavor Burst Multivitamin Chews in exchange for my opinion from Smiley360!  Following are my thoughts on the Multivitamin, which was in no way swayed by the free sample and coupon received.
Do you like candy?  Okay, I'm not one to sit around eating candy all the time, but even these make taking your daily vitamins enjoyable.  The Centrum Flavor Burst Chews I received were in Wild Grape flavor and they reminded me of Skittles with the thin crunchy shell and chewy center.  The sample provided 1/2 a serving, so 2 of 4 chews recommended.  I could see where taking 4 chews would be easy, and even easier to take more than the recommended serving as well.
There are two possible flaws with such a yummy vitamin:
1) Trying to keep the kids away from your "candy"
2) Stopping yourself from eating a handful or two when you're in a candy craze

Grab a $2 Coupon here if you're interested in trying the Flavor Burst Chews based on my review!

Keurig Vue House Party and V500 40% off

Have you ever been lucky enough to host a House Party?  If you don't know what it is, check out houseparty.com ;)

I recently was selected to host a Keurig Vue House Party - my gifts for hosting the party were the Keurig Vue V500 brewer, 80-something vue packs, cups, napkins, and a tin of cookies.

Having a Keurig Vue K-Cup machine, I wasn't sure what all the hype was with the Vue brewer, until I received and started using it.  My first observance was the chance to change the size of the cup and the strength of my coffee (just lacked a "light" setting).  Secondly, it was truly brewing my coffee hotter than my K-Cup brewer.  Score!  Chasing a toddler around in the morning, I don't always get to finish my coffee before it's ice cold!

The benefits just got better from there, too.  It has a "Brew Over Ice" function and a Cafe 2-step function to make latte.

The Vue packs were impressive, but I fell in love with the Vanilla Latte.  We had that, Sweet Tea, Donut Shop Coffee, Hazelnut, Nantucket Iced Coffee, and Italian Roast to try.

Are you interested in the Keurig Vue V500 brewer?  Grab one now at Keurig.com for $101.99 with this coupon code W066TJ4 (for 40% off), then share me with what your favorite features or coffees are :)

A sippy cup worth trying

It took us forever to find a sippy cup that my daughter would use - in the end, we had to take away the bottles before she was weaned.
Once we passed that hurdle, we had to settle on a sippy cup that she'd accept for all beverages.  Turns out her cup of choice was the Playtex Twist N Click! 
They come in several varieties, but we currently use the spout variety.  They have these great spill-proof valves that only release liquid when your child is drinking.  My daughter runs around with these dropping, throwing, and setting them down all over the house during the day.  On rare occasions, it seems as though air may get trapped and spurt a minimal amount of liquid out of the spout, though overall, a rare problem to contend with.
We have both the gripper (non-insultated) and the Insulator cups.  We love both,but for travel, our Insulator cups fit more easily into our diaper bag single bottle compartments ;)
