Windex Multi-Surface Vinegar Giveaway

Is it wrong that I feel relieved, when guests turn down an invitation to my home, because that means I don’t have to clean? 

I’d really rather have them focus their view on the pictures from my latest vacation instead of the spills and drips on my oven door.

There’s no way to achieve a cheap visual trick in that department, unfortunately cleaning must be done!

Faux Diamonds are Budget Diva’s Best Friend (Giveaway)

Ooh diamonds.  Shiny and sparkly, and the desire of most every girl.  And decent sized ones…expensive too.

Being a budget conscious person myself, a set of large diamond earrings is not on the shopping list, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wear a pair that to the undiscerning eye looks quite like the real thing.

DiamondEarrings.Org has faux diamond earrings in a sterling silver setting.  While up close it’s apparent that these flashy gems aren’t real, unless someone’s taking an evidentiary scope out at your jewelry, from a few feet back, they’ll be thought of as the real deal.

Rock ‘N Learn Phonics Volumes 1 & 2 Giveaway

A couple of weeks ago I received a set of DVDs to review from Rock ‘N Learn.  Phonics Volumes I & II.  With these DVDs children learn the rules of phonics and word families by engaging in the songs presented by the animated rock band on the DVD.
