Flip Out Mama

Hey guys, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you guys about an awesome product idea that I just got introduced to. The company is Tablevogue , and the idea is so simple, it's genius! They make table covers for those ugly, plain folding tables that we all have hanging out in our garage/shed that we use for entertaining. I love this idea! I hate having to throw a sheet or some crappy plastic table cloth over a folding table, leaving the legs hanging out and looking, well.. crappy! Tablevogue is perfect for turning any plain jane table into an elegant one!  What a great idea, right?!?  Look for Tablevogue in select Bed, Bath and Beyond stores, or shop online ! I really look for this to be the next trend in home entertaining!  Make sure to join them on Facebook for great promotions and giveaways! (Give them some comment love too!) Disclosure: I was not compensated in any way for this post. I genuinely like this idea, and I love supporting other mompreneurs!

I recently received a sample of Nordic Naturals re Omega 3 Gummy Worms for kids to review. I was really excited to try these! I have heard that Omega 3 Supplements have been proven to help with brain function, well being, and coordination in children. I mean, really? Who doesn't need that?!?!? When I recently came across a new study that suggest that Omega 3 Supplements can decrease depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems, all while increasing learning, adaptability and happiness, I was ready to try these for my self! Well, in this case, for Tater's self...  The Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Gummy Worms are so cute! They look just like Tater's favorite candy. I love the fact that they have no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. They are gluten free, milk derivative free, and yeast free, too. They have a yummy strawberry flavor. I knew Tater would like them, but I didn't think they were bad at all, which is a very big deal!  Don't they look yummy? ...

I'm really excited to tell you guys about Seven Slings today! They make some really adorable and unique baby slings. There are seven different designs to choose from and they are all too cute!  autumn blaze black magic carmel latte green vibe lucky pink northern lights supernova Aren't they adorable! And they are super affordable! I absolutely love my sling from Seven Slings! I love the fact that I can still be fashionable even with babies. Seven Slings slings can be washed in the washing machine, which makes them even better! There is a very easy method to making sure that you order the right size, they have a really simple measuring guide on their site. I love it! My favorite part, I think, is the versatility, and the fact that you can wear your sling different ways as your baby grows! easy to put on! Cradle Sling Front Carry Sling Hip Carry Sling I think their versatility is what makes them so appealing to me!  Thanks...

and just so I don't leave my big boy out:

I will be the first one to admit, I am a little OCD when it comes to my lips. I always have to have lip balm, and I apply it probably 20 times a day. It's even worse in the winter, when my lips are always dry, wind-burned, and crusty. Yuck. I think the main problem is I can't really find a lip balm that does the job, one that I really like. Until now.  Softlips sent me their limited edition 5-pack of Winter flavors to review, and I was very impressed. They have 5 new Winter flavors: sugar & spice, winter mint, sugar cookie, sugar plum berry, and mint with a hint of vanilla. I can honestly say that I have never used a better lip conditioner. Usually the lip balms I use wear off within 30 minutes or so, but Softlips stayed on almost all day. Of course, I reapplied several times during the day, but I probably would have been fine had I not. I just constantly feel that need to keep putting it on, I am just so used to it wearing off.  I really love the winter flavors, too. M...

Yes. They did. A company made me cry.  They took my little Tater, a little, tiny, lanky, scraggly baby boy, and turned him into this:  Excuse me, why is there a little man in these pictures?  191 Kids is by the creators of 191 Unlimited , an awesome guy's clothing company (started with just $191 by two best friends!). They knew there was a need to make the same awesome dress up, yet casual clothes that they were making for guys, in little boys sizes, so 191 Kids was born! They make the cutest shirts for little guys who need to look nice, but not "too dressy".  Look at some of the adorable shirts they have for little dudes:  Aren't they adorable?  They sent us two gorgeous shirts to review. We decided to try the first one last week when we went to see Santa.  Above, you see the end result. He was SO pumped to wear his new shirt.  He goes: "I look like a daddy in this shirt!" He thought he looked like a man! And he did!  It...

I'm really excited to tell you guys about this game! It's from Screenlife games , makers of the wonderful Scene It! DVD games, and it is everyone's favorite classic Christmas show, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer! This was always my favorite TV Christmas Special when I was growing up and I was really excited to share it with Tater this year! Here's what Screenlife games has to say about the Rudolph game:  (heehee, about their "reindeer game" bahahaaha.. I am such a dork.) The Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer  DVD Game takes you and your family to the North Pole where your mission is to gather all the misfit toys that have been scattered all over due the horrible winter storm! While the main objective is to search and find these toys, there is a catch. You must find at least three different colored toys before the Abominable Snow Man (Bumble) finds and collects six toys on his own. Find your toys before he finds his, and you win!!! The concept is simple ...

  Okay, so for the first time in my parenting career, I just followed through with something.  So why do I feel like shit?  Tater has never had a problem with eating until recently.  Lately, all the kid does is walk around saying "I'm Starrrrvvving...." So, I fix him something to eat, he takes one bite, and decides he doesn't want it.  So frusturating.  Then, ten minutes later, hes' "Starrrrrvinng" again.  Ahhhhh! So, tonight, about 2 hours before dinner, I told him we were going to start a new family rule.  You can pick what you have for dinner but you have to eat it. All of it.  If you don't eat your dinner, all of it, you have to go to bed.  Okay, he's cool with that. So, dinner time comes. He chooses a Kid Cuisine meal out of the freezer, which is fine with me.  Easy dinner night.  It is chicken nuggets, fries, chocolate pudding and corn. Yum, right?  No.  He eats one chicken nugget. And doesn't t...

Sometimes review products have a way of getting to me at the perfect time.  This is one of those times.  My review sample of OCEAN For Kids Nasal Spray arrived on my doorstep on a day when both of my kids were following me around, snotty, congested, and funky.  I couldn't wait to try it!  OCEAN for Kids Nasal Spray is natural and non medicated, which makes me feel much better about giving it to my babies.  There are many uses for OCEAN for Kids Nasal Spray:  For general moisturizing during dry climates and cold temperatures, and while spending time in enclosed spaces (e.g., classrooms, train rides, air travel, etc.) To relieve allergy, cold & flu symptoms in a safe, non-medicated manner To help relieve congestion by thinning mucus To return moisture lost due to drug-induced dryness To help reduce nosebleeds from dryness To moisturize and irrigate membranes following nasal surgery  I love the fact that you can use OCEAN ...

I am not much for spontaneity. I like things nice and calm, planned out. No surprises.  I am also not big on exchanging gifts at Christmas.  Christmas is for my babies, not for hubs and me.  We haven't really exchanged gifts since the boys were born.  But I found the perfect gift for hubs this year.  And it's gonna knock his socks off!  This is the Sexy Santa's Little Helper (BTW, it's the outfit, not the blonde.) Let me also reiterate that this is not at all something I would normally buy.  I don't wear stuff like this.  I wear men's sweatpants and $1 Goodwill tee shirts to bed.  I have a nightgown that I lovingly call "The Little House On The Prairie". Sexy is not my forte'.  But, I was browsing around the Costume Discounters site, and I came across all these sexy costumes , and I thought "why not?" I mean, if I was ever thinking of surprising him for Christmas, this will do the trick!  I think it's pretty cu...

If you guys have been following my blog for any amount of time, you know that I am a sucker for Vinyl Wall Art. It is so easy to apply, it's affordable, and it can totally transform any space! You can choose anything you want, even create your own custom quote, and remove it easily whenever you want! I recently got the opportunity to do a review for Word Decor 'N More . They are really a top notch company as far as Wall Decor Companies go. They have an amazing selection, and they are super affordable!  Look at some of the adorable stuff I found!  I could honestly browse their site forever! They even have car decals! But it didn't take me long to choose exactly what I wanted for my review! As most of you know, my best friend Crystal is expecting her first baby, a little girl named Sadie Elise, on April 1, 2011 and she is working on getting her room all ready! I could not help but choose this one:  Isn't it the sweetest thing you've ever seen!?!?  As soon as she g...
