Slanket Review  

Have I told you guys John is the new
Ebeneezer Scrooge! Big time! Now it isn't a raise,
or a Holiday Duck or even gifts that he has the
moth filled wallet closed, it is something even bigger
and worse then that. Heat! Lord do we have some
high heating bills here in Michigan and John hovers over
that thermostat like a crazy man. I wake up with Iceicles
on my nose it is that dang cold. Now Rowan has those
super warm and comfy Winter Jammie's she has lived in all
Winter long but they just don't make them in Mommy size!
I am cold as whatever cold cliche you would like to insert
here. Even during the day I freeze and I pretty much sit
bundled up in my room under 32 covers and still I shiver and
it is rotten when I have to get something for I have to
crawl out from the hoard of blankets and it drives me nuts.
Thank You Jesus for my Slanket! I was a hold out
on them for I just didn't see the big deal. Then I got a
chance to review them and I am doing the "And I could
have had a V-8 kick to the head" for I can't get over
what I have been missing. With my Slanket I am snug as
a bug in a rug and I don't have to worm my way out of
a load of blankets to just use the bathroom. With the Slanket
I can just get up and go! Not only does it work like a
Charm and I love the arms, it is sooooooooooo warm and
softtttt oh, my is it soft. I checked out the other one,
you know, the knock off and was so not impressed.
It was thin, it was not nearly as soft and I could not
believe they wanted they price they were asking for it.
When you place the Slanket next to that one it is
like placing a White Castle next to a Denny's Hamburger.
Now I don't mean Denny's that 24 hour place I mean
Denny's in Pennsylvania, that place that makes the worlds
biggest hamburger. That is how vast the difference is
in thickness and comfort. The Slanket kept me warm and
the sleeves made it so I could move through the house
with ease and also when I was not snuggling with Rowan
wrapped in the extra folds I could sit down and play
with her and I think she was a little jealous of my warm
blanket just like I was jealous of her warm Jammie's!
The Slanket is made from all around better materials
and is perfect if you live in a home with MR Heat Mizer
like I do. Come back next November and I will show you
a photo of everyone in my house sitting on the couch
with a Slanket. Everyone but John that is!
Slanket, the original is always the best!

Slanket!

Pediped Review  


Alright, FASHIONS! Don't we talk about them often?
Well I can't help it and Momma needed to buy baby shoes
and went a little crazy doing so!I hit some sales and got
some pretty good deals in but really wanted some sassy new
spring styles for my little fashion plate. Okay, some Mommy ones
too but that is a horse of another color. Rowan is soon going to
have the chance to wear some get-ups other then long johns
and Jammie's for the Snow can't last forever and warm weather
is just around the bend. She has some really adorable outfits
I bought for her last year and I have been chomping at the
bit to let her wear them. One thing is different from last year
though, last year she was so tiny I didn't have to worry about
shoes for all she did was sleep and eat and that other thing!
This year she is dancing! Those Tootsies need to look good!

I have had the worst time finding shoes I like though. I
can't even believe that is coming out of my mouth for I
thought there wasn't a shoe out there that I would not wear.
The thing is there is a big difference between what looks good
on an adult and what looks good on a child. She needs cute and
sweet and not some strappy sandal with heels up to there! I also
do not want her to be in the same shoes as 3,412 other children
on the playground are wearing. I also want those little baby
feet to be safe for as busy as she is it is only a matter of time
before little miss happy feet gets into some sort of mischief.
The last thing I want, and please, tell me it is not to much to
ask for, is a little bit of durability and quality. I know children are
not in their shoes as long as adults but I swear, and I have
told you this before, the people who manufacture any children's
items do so with the least respect to durability and quality.
It is like since they know the kids will not be wearing it for
too long since kids grow like weeds they cut corners and make
a lack luster product. I want something my children can "Wear"
and I do not have to worry about it falling apart. I am so glad
I found Pediped.


Not only did they have the styles I loved, they have
quality items, real shoes, just like a shoe I would buy for
myself. Stitching you can see and holds, soles that can
be walked on and used, straps and laces that are not just
for show! Honest to goodness real leather and real attention
to details. I was sent a pair for review and they are just
killer! Perfect for a little girl for loads of uses and tons of
styles. This is a dress shoe that can just as well be worn
every day. Isn't that what a Mom wants with a little girl shoe?
We want them to look like a little Princess yet be able to
get down and play and run with the boys. We want them to
look like it took us hours to make them sooooooooo perfect
they could double as a little doll but still have their sense
of adventure and personality. I received a pair of Caroline in
white for review and these pretty much have to be the
best shoe ever! Simple slip on, Velcro that works and does
not loose its stick, beautiful style that can be paired with a
darling little sundress or hey, toss it with some Jeans and
a T-shirt and watch Miss Diva take the run way for these
are one of those styles that make the outfit not the other way
around. Pediped shoes are soft leather soles made with a
double layer so remember my griping up there about poor
quality, GONE, they dissolved my fears and not only gave me
good quality but hey, why stop there, let's double that just
in case. They even think of the comfort of those little tykes
who can't even form the words to tell you they are not so
comfy. Extra cushion? Can Pediped sign me up for a Mommy
pair for my shoes don't even have it that good and I pay a
whole heck of a lot more for my shoes then the reasonable
prices they have at Pediped. Now I know I seem a little bit
over excited here but you guys have no idea how hard I have
been searching. Spring is almost Sprung and I have a ton of
clothes I want to dress little Rowan in and I have been everywhere
looking for shoes to do it in. Andrew was a snap, HELLO, Boy!
All he needed was something on his feet and we could call it
a day. Now if I would have known about Pediped when I shopped
for Andrew I would have bought them for the Quality alone and
they have incredible styles for the boys but to be honest on my
part, I was so upset over not finding cute clothes for Andrew the shoes
were mute and as long as they were good for his feet I didn't care.
With Rowan and the vast amount of choices I have for her wardrobe
I am head of heels in love and I have to have shoes I am just
as excited about. I wanted a selection I could drool over and
Pediped has it for the girls and the boys.
Um, check list here!
1. Awesome Styles
2. Extra comfort
3. Quality!! Did I tell you about the quality! WOWZA!
4. They fit in my budget!
5. Durable!
6. Kid tested, Michelle approved!
Can't get better then that. So if you are looking for a Prince
or a Princess, Pediped has your style. If you demand the best,
what do you know, covered there too! I don't think I have to spell
it out for you guys and this review I absolutely love them and hope to
review for them again because my eye is going to be fixed on
their product line to Rowan is buying her own!

Crazy Dog T-shirts Review and Giveaway!  

Hard to shop for relatives Beware! We have
the cure for you fickle guy blues! Crazy Dog T-shirts!
I must say they have a shirt for every personality and
when I first found their site a while ago I bust out
laughing and my son ran into the room to see if
he finally had his chance to send me off to the loony
bin and get me out of his hair!



I had a blast taking a stroll down memory lane
in the 80's section and since when did the high-
lights of my youth become retro! From safe to down
right don't let your Mama read this, the place has it
all!
My son loves their Chuck Norris Shirts and wants
to collect them all so if any of you guys wanna.........
well, never mind, but all you have to do is check out
the home page and next time you check your watch you'll
find three hours have went by and you haven't laughed
that much in years.


Let's not forget the even better stuff! They are in
inexpensive and offer free shipping when you purchase
four or more shirts. They have shirts for men, women and
kids and even costumes for you and your dog. Prices
start at 9 bucks and everyday they have a special for
only $6.99. You just can't beat that! In fact how I found
out about them is I was searching for a shirt as a gift and
everywhere I looked it was around 20 dollars. I even tried
Ebay for this was for a joke and I just didn't want to spend
20 bucks. I was just about ready to throw in the towel and I
found these guys! Now, well let's just say I tell what kind of
mood my son and Husband are in just by reading their shirts
everyday.

I received a shirt I have had my eye on for a while for
review, the boys are stupid throw rocks at them and was
tickled pink as the shirt to get it! It is delicate as us
females are but don't let the girly style fool you for I gave
it the Michelle Test and its dainty design does not change
the fact it is durable as all get out. I loved the light weigh
feel of it and I was really excited for even though places
say we have T-shirts for Ladies most of the time you just
get a guy style shirt that has a girly picture on it but this
one has been made for the gals the whole way. I have
worn it a bunch for I love rubbing it in the guys faces
and it fits perfect and not only still looks bright and vibrant
it still has kept its shape and I have a bad problem with
sticking my knees under something and stretching it out!
With tons of designs to choose from and great fashion,
quality and pricing you just can't go wrong with these guys!
In fact to buy else where would be Crazy, Dog!

Now for the really good part, I told them how much I
loved them and they said they wanted to give you guys
a shirt too! All you have to do is head on over and tell
me what shirt you would pick and leave a post telling
me the shirt and size for the lucky winner is going to
get it sent right to their house! The contest starts
tonight and will run to Midnight on March 22nd!

will be contacted by email and have 72 hours to
contact me with their mailing information. As always

Bersica Futurewear Review and Giveaway  


Oh how I detest laundry and the many loads I do.
Up and down the stairs, dang I forgot the softener again.
Will this stain ever come out? How many times must I
wash Rowans clothes a day? Um, just what is that stain
on my teenage sons clothes? ( I have given up on his items
and he now washes his own) and how is it that John can
produce as much Laundry as the kids and still look like
he is wearing the same outfit all the time? Rowan is the
worst offender though by far ( If I knew what Andrew washed
he might be, but fear prevents me from looking) and I change
this child at least 5 times a day if not more. Add in the burp
clothes, wash clothes and everything else I use to clean her
up during the day and you will find 2 to 3 loads are hers alone.
How does this darling bundle accumulate this
much laundry every day? Drool is number one, spills are
number two and meal time number three on the list of reasons
to change Miss Messy Butt. For drooling this girl is a faucet. I
keep waiting for some teeth to spring up but after 3 months
of drooling there are still no pearly whites in sight. At least with
some teeth in that always open mouth there might be some sort
of damming going on that slows down the drool for as it stands
it is 4 PM right now and I have changed her outfit 4 times. All
because of drool. Once because of lunch. I know you guys are
saying put a bib on that baby and I do! But a bib can only absorb
so much fluid before it too needs to be rang out and washed.
Yes, she drools that much. If there is a water shortage this
Summer Rowan could water my Garden and yours! Um, plus
the rest of the neighborhoods. She soaks through her bib, her
Outfit and her Onesie over and over again. Bech!
Next is her eating habits, cute at first, now it is a
hazardous waste exhibit. This girl hits her nose, her eyes and
her ears and insists on feeding herself as often as she can.
Her shirt looks like Picasso went to town and the only place
Rowan does not hit with her "Gerber Art" is her mouth! This
leaves all these beautiful clothes I buy her looking like a
Rochat test and ruined. When Bersica Futurewear asked if
I would like to do a review I said sure, then read all about them.
Water rolls off, Sure! Stain Resistant, ah ha, sure it is, maybe
a water stain. Now the no chemicals and environmentally Friendly
I could believe, so is lots of stuff now a days. Protects from
UV rays, now that is pretty cool but I can't shake the crazy claim
of water rolling right off. I am also liking the high quality and
durability for you know me and the Michelle Test, stuff has
got to last or to the Moon Alice! Well I agreed to do the test
but really didn't hold out much hope for the Water rolling off
or even the stain resistant part. Pleazzzzzzzzzz. I have heard
more imagination when my son explains why he didn't clean


up his room.


When I got the review item I opened it up and was
pretty darn happy it was pink and cute. Now it might end
up covered in Rowan drool but at least she will look adorable
doing it. The pants fit really good too. I so hate how baby pants
are either too too big or look like she is ready ahead of time
for the tidal wave of drool that is going to run down her front.
These fit just like pants I would buy would fit me, of coarse her
bootie is cuter! I grabbed a T-shirt and left off the bib for I
wanted to see the drool roll down faster and not fill the
Bib to its absorbent maximum first. With in minutes the shirt
was soaked so I thought here comes the show so I might as
well make it really fun and feed the baby some lunch too!
(ahahahahaha) I will show you some stains that resist! (ah ah
ahahahaha) Rowan had some bright orange Carrots and
her new favorite Blueberry dessert. I was pretty sure those
would show up nicely on the pink pants and was also just as
sure they would stay there for they have on the last three
things she has worn when she ate the Blueberry concoction.
Rowan loved her lunch and was so kind she helped me out
by feeding herself. A little for her, a little for the pooch, a
little for the floor, a little for, JOHN, can you take this bite
for me? Well the end result was a typical Rowan result
and she was a soaking wet, drool covered mess with Blueberry's
and Carrots all over everything and I had to give the heavy sigh
before I lifted her out of the chair for here goes the Super mess
and the tedious task of not only cleaning her but the chair,
the floor, the dog and changing her clothes. I got her out and
just stripped off the shirt for they were so soaked
she looked like she was in a mini me wet t-shirt contest.
I went to grab the pants but they really didn't look as soaked.
I mean they were covered in Blueberry's and Carrots but
the parts I did dare to touch were in no way soaked through
and in fact they just felt damp. I was pretty shocked for it
was easy to see the wetness was on the surface but that was
about it. I took them off anyway to get a better look. Chunks
of food, hum, Baby Wipe, NOW I was impressed. None of
the Baby food soaked into the material and was pretty much
laying on top and allowed me to simply take a baby wipe
and wipe it all gone. A few minutes later even the dampness
from the wipe had worn away and the material felt dry. I
have to say I was dumbfounded and could not believe it.
No way in a million years did I think this could really have
worked. Even more so with Rowan for she could flood the
Sahara.


Bersica Futurewear offers a selection of children's
clothing, all with their high performance material that
combines comfort, functionality, and technology. Everything
they make is geared towards children, their fashion, their
needs and though kids get to wear it the parents get the
