I See Me: My Very Happy Birthday

Posted by Valerie's Reviews at 7:55 AM 1 comments


Our mission is to increase self esteem in children through personalized books that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. The goal of our books is to show each child how absolutely unique and special he or she is, to teach the child how to spell his or her name, and to build vocabulary skills.

I was really excited to be able to review another book from I See Me. We love our first book, My Very Own Fairy Tale (read the review here).

This time we received My Very Happy Birthday. I had it personalized for my daughters 5th birthday. You can choose to specify which birthday and it will include this on the cover as well as 5 pages in the book. The cake would even have the correct number of candles.  I chose not to so that it can be used for each birthday.

The Mommy Mindset: Protecting Family from Summer Heat

Posted by Valerie's Reviews at 7:28 AM 0 comments


As Moms we always wonder if we are doing this parenting thing the right way. The truth is there is no one right way, what works for one family may not work for yours and that goes both ways. I do think it is important to have other moms you can talk to, get opinions from and even bounce ideas off of. I am lucky enough to have that not only in real life but in the blogging world as well. This group of moms will get together every week and talk about a parenting topic. Once we've spent a little time "talking" we will bring the conversation to you. I would love it if you left your thoughts as well.

Essential Swimwear Review

Posted by Valerie's Reviews at 11:31 AM 0 comments


Swimsuit shopping is definitely one of my least favorite activities. I want something that is stylish and fits well. 
I also want something modest that I am not constantly readjusting particularly when running after the kids.

I love shopping online. I love being able to shop in my pajamas if I want to. Also, living in a small town the shopping selection is very limited. On top of all that I save on gas which we all know costs a fortune. But the number one thing I love about shopping online is the ability to shop around for a good deal.

Kids and Eczema

Posted by Valerie's Reviews at 5:16 PM 3 comments


So my daughter had been really itchy lately. I mean really itchy. It was so bad that she was leaving sores all down her back from itching so much. So I took her to the Dr who diagnosed her with eczema. Now we get to experience the fun of treating it. So after searching the web and finding so many responses on how best to treat it, I was overwhelmed. I asked you guys on Facebook and here are some of the responses.

The Mommy Mindset: Toddlers with Ipads

Posted by Valerie's Reviews at 10:23 AM 1 comments

Kids and laptops - what is the right age to start computer education? My kids have an older desktop computer in a common area that is theirs. They also have an old android phone that they play kid friendly apps on. They are no longer allowed on my computer. They also are not allowed on the Ipad, laptop or any adults phone since they have their own. My youngest will be turning 5 soon and she is getting a LeapPad for her birthday, I think that is plenty at this age.

Aquaphor Review and Giveaway $50+ (BloggerPR Kickoff)

Posted by Valerie's Reviews at 11:01 PM 129 comments




Welcome to the BloggerPR Kickoff Giveaway Hop!

We are celebrating the launch of BloggerPR, which is a brand new support and media group for bloggers. Over 50 blogs are giving away some amazing prizes valued over $25! This event will run from May 21-27, 2012. Join us as we kick off a brand new and exciting venture for our members!



There is a scene in the romantic comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding where the father uses Windex as a way to fix everything.  As funny as that notion is… it’s not actually true and we DON’T recommend trying it.  However, it has been said that Aquaphor products are the “duct tape of dermatology” or “miracle goo” and people continually tell us how it helps their various skin needs, reminding them of how Windex helped Mr. Portokalos.


I have used Aquaphor products in the past but it has been a while. So, I was super excited to be a sent a set of products to try.
