Blue Q Gifts Revolution

Don’t you love when you stumble on a new site with fun products? When I found Blue Q I fell in love with their bags. These aren’t just regular bags, they are made from recycled plastic bottles and grain sacks that has been spun into cool and kitschy designs that are super strong and durable. Even better, 1% of the sales from any of their bags go to programs such as the Nature Conservancy. Blue Q has committed to a minimum contribution of $50,000 by April 2011.


This past weekend I used the Overnighter to pack mine, Rob’s, Shaun’s and Shae’s clothes for a weekend at my parents. Everything FIT! To get an idea of the real size of the overnighter Shae is pictured above sitting in it having her snack. There was no hesitation that the bag was going to be able to support the weight either. With long woven straps it can be slung over your shoulder for easy carrying and its material allows for easy clean-up against spills and dirty shoes. The shopper tote (pictured to the right of the Shae in the overnighter)has come in so handy on several occasions. At the grocery store I handles about 2 times more than a regular plastic bag and I was able to tote all the decoration and last minute items for my sister’s baby shower; paper cutter, pens, markers, tape, hole punch, scissors, folders with shower games, box for raffle, tablecloths, napkins, favors, cosmetic bag, extra shoes, decorations and more odds and ends. It stood up straight the whole time allowing me to reach in and grab whatever I needed with fewer struggles like with floppy reusable bags.


Blue Q is about more than these cool recycled bags. They’ve got a fun mix of catchy home décor, luxurious bath products and cheesy notions to even make stuffed shirts snort with laughter. Keeping with the green message Blue Q has recently introduced stainless steel water bottles. This 20oz. bottles are decorated with original designs using lead-free inks and DO NOT have a resin or plastic lining, keeping your water chemical free. Here is the adorable water bottle I’ve been using daily around the house, isn’t he adorable, love the gapped toothed grin.
Want your own “green goodies” from Blue Q? Win a shoppers tote and water bottle for yourself right here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Visit Blue Q and tell me another cool, funny or odd product you found that you would love to have or give to a friend (or enemy).

Monkey Business Sports – SkyRocket ParaSpinner

 

Do you love toys that get your kids off of the couch and outside and moving? Monkey Business Sports has those toys that not will not only get you excited but will also get your kids excited to go outside and play. Monkey Business Sports has a nice line up of toys like foam crossbows, sky rockets and The Big Daddy EZ-Lasso which was shown on the Late Show with David Letterman. Monkey Business Sports, they build every toy with the simple goal of providing real fun out there in the real world. They promote healthy, active play with their safe toys for active boys and girls. It is their goal to stay on the cutting edge of innovation and toy safety so that they can bring quality toys with style and performance to your home.
I remember when I was a kid my parents use to buy me army men with parachutes that I would love to throw as high in the air as I could then the chute would open and the army man would float to the ground. I wanted to take this one step further for Shaun and get him a rocket with a parachute that we could launch super high. What kid or adult for that matter wouldn’t love a rocket with a parachute that they could shoot a few hundred feet in the air then watch it come back to earth safely via a parachute. Monkey Business Sports allowed Shaun to have this awesome experience by sending him the SkyRocket ParaSpinner. The SkyRocket ParaSpinner is a two stage rocket that splits into two pieces and returns safely via the attached parachute. This rocket was super easy for Shaun to use and he was able to launch it over a hundred feet with no problem at all using the hand held elastic launcher. Just make sure you have a clear field or back yard so the rocket doesn’t get stuck in any trees on it way back to earth.
Here are a few of the SkyRocket ParaSpinner features:

» Flies over 250 feet high
» Parachute deploys at peak altitude
» Sturdy foam construction is durable and safe
» Detailed styling with dynamic reflective graphics
» Easy to use hand-held elastic launcher

The SkyRocket ParaSpinner provided Shaun hours of fun and this is a must have for the upcoming holiday season. Don’t forget Monkey Business Sports is more then just Sky Rockets. They have a TON of cool toys that you have to check out. If you have an active child that likes to go outside go to Monkey Business Sports because they specialize in outdoor fun.

 




CSNMirrors.com Howard Miller Clock

Melinda and I have wanted a clock for the living room for some time now but have never been able to find one that we both liked then along came CSNMirrors.com, an online source for home décor, mirrors, and wall accents. CSNMirrors.com has a ton of wall clocks and finally Melinda and I were able to agree on a very nice clock for our living room that matched the living room very well.
CSNMirrors.com is a niche site to parent company CSNStores.com. CSN Stores LLC is based in Boston and began in 2002 and since has grown to a top 3 online U.S. retailer of home and office goods. A $200 million company, CSN Stores LLC regularly adds more than 10,000 products per month to our 200+ Web sites, which include: CSNMirrors.com, CSNStores.com, AllModern.com, Cookware.com, Luggage.com, BedroomFurniture.com, CSNLighting.com, Strollers.com, CookwareEssentials.co.uk and CSNLighting.co.uk.
Melinda and I chose the Howard Miller 625-317 – O’Brien Double Dial Wall Clock which retails for $120.97. To me this clock is a deal at that price as it has a very elegant antique look which gives the clock a very expensive look. What I really like most is that it has two clocks that run with two separate movements via one AA battery each so you can set them to different time zones or the same time if you wish. The Howard Miller O’Brien Double Dial Wall Clock also features aged parchment dials with black Roman numerals that add to the antique look of this fabulous clock. This clock also swivels in a wall mounted bracket so it gives you a lot of placement opportunities. We chose to place our clock on the wall between our living room and kitchen so it can be viewed and enjoyed from both rooms.

I always wondered why Melinda and I were so picky about a clock. You would think any clock on the wall would do as long as it tells time but after placing the Howard Miller O’Brien Double Dial Wall Clock on our wall I now see why we waited. It is an accessory that adds a touch of class to the room and is immediately noticeable when you walk into the front door. This clock even caught my children’s attention and if my kids noticed it imagine what other people will say about it.




Daisy Giggles, baby shower favors, gifts and stationery


My sister and sister-in-law both have a few weeks left and the babies will be here. The final step was my sister’s baby shower. Along with my mother and sister’s 2 friends I hosted it this past weekend. It went very well in my opinion. Everyone had a great time, food was good, décor was cute, gifts were overflowing and there were lots of smiles and lots of laughter.

As the finishing touch to most showers and gatherings guests are usually given a little keepsake to remember the moments we just spent together. Daisy Giggles came to my rescue in providing adorable favors for the guests at the LAST MINUTE when other plans fell through. I hoped in there promised quick turnaround and they DID NOT fail.

The shower didn’t have a specific theme plus I hate the idea of boring useless favors. I chose simple inexpensive square candle tins personalized with my sister’s and niece’s name.


They have many options to personalize the label from a traditional baby carriage to a trendy Pea in a Pod plus the colors were much better than the same old pink, blue and yellow. I chose a sherbet orange, Tangerine to be exact to match my niece’s bedding. Chocolate and lime are 2 of the other fun color choices for labels. Baby shower favors isn’t their only specialty either, Daisy Giggles carries a complete selection of invite and thank you stationery, unique gifts for baby, mom and dad and new baby must-haves.

Mixed in with all the cuteness is a generous sprinkling of eco-consciousness. Daisy Giggles carries a great selection of “green” products like plantable stationery and favors and diapercakes made from chlorine-free biodegradable diapers.

Babies make the perfect occasion for special and distinctive gifts. Let Daisy Giggles supply you with your next welcome baby or congrats Mama and Daddy token of love. The showers are over and the babies are almost here but Daisy Giggles will be the little secret weapon I have for any baby gifts I need to acquire in the future.

Become a fan on Facebook and see what the future holds for Daisy Giggles.




BEARPAW Shoes Evaluation

My very first blog entry (besides my introduction) for LookWhatMomFound was a analysis for Bearpaw boots. I had purchased a brown pair for myself and a black pair for Sabreena last winter and we love them! I actually can’t wait for the weather to cool down so I have an excuse to wear them again. It just made sense to try out the other Bearpaw products as soon as the summer season started coming to an end. I recently received a pair of chestnut Loki slippers. I’m going to say it again, YUM. Luxurious sheepskin lining and a velvety soft suede outer paired with a hard rubber sole makes for comfy wearing ALL DAY. I’ve been wearing these to Shaun’s bus stop, grocery store, park, walks, mall, EVERYWHERE. I wore them this past weekend to my parent’s and my mom pointed at them looked at my dad and said I WANT THEM.

The sheepskin lining surprisingly keeps feet cool and dry in the summer and warm and toasty in the winter. Bearpaw shoes, slippers and boots can be worn throughout the seasons. This particular style of footwear has established itself as wardrobe basic in the last several years, no matter your lifestyle, your income bracket or your age Bearpaw shoes have proven themselves a favorite with regular folk like me and celebrities all over the world.

As a socially and environmentally conscious company Bearpaw Shoe makes it their objective to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle within the workplace. By utilizing modern recycling methods, evaluating packaging designs and emphasizing “Greener Living” with their employees Bearpaws hopes to preserve the world around us while providing quality footwear that can sustain the elements and regular wearing. Bearpaw and their employees are also involved in community efforts to help make a difference to those less fortunate by teaming up with philanthropic organizations such as Soles for Souls, a project that has donated over 1million pairs of shoes to victims of disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the Tsunami in Asia.
I’m a simple girl who loves her slippers and comfy boots with everything from jeans to yoga pants to shorts in the summer. Bearpaw’s Boutique collection helps you make a bold fashion statement by utilizing the newest trends in footwear with exotic furs and wedge heels and their Campus collection is the epitome of comfort with casual slip-on uppers for men and women.

ReliOn Temple Touch Thermometer

Cold and Flu season is among us as well as the bothersome random runny noses and coughs and in general yucky feelings. Is your medicine cabinet stocked? Ours is but I recently received a nice addition, the ReliOn Temple Touch Thermometer.

I may be a young mom but I’m old school when it comes to taking temperature readings for my kids. As infants I did rectal readings and as they grew up it went to the armpit then under the tongue. I never thought I needed technology for something so simple. Well I was wrong. The Temple Touch Thermometer came I went around the house and got everyone’s base temperature, something everyone should know by the way. It was simple, so simple that Shae now asks for the “mometer” at night. The Temple Touch Thermometer uses a unique probe to record heat flow from the blood vessels in the temporal artery and converts it to body temperature.

The process is super simple.

  • Turn it on
  • Wait a couple seconds for the hour glass to finish spinning and beeps twice
  • Firmly press to temple between eye socket and eyebrow
  • Wait 7 seconds for single beep, reading is ready

Seven seconds can feel like an eternity when you have a sick or cranky child but with a little practice and distraction this can be done without the child even knowing. Certain guidelines should be followed when using this product, things that sound obvious but make your go hmmmmm.

  • Make sure your childs head is not wet, moisture can register cooler
  • Do not use if your child has recently been exposed to direct sunlight or other heat source like a warm bath, their skin will warmer
  • Do not use if your child has just exercised or exerted themselves, skin will be warmer after physical activities
  • Keep the Temple Touch Thermometer in a stable environment like a closet or first aid kit, extreme humidity, cold or hot temperatures can alter this products performance

The Temple Touch Thermometer is going to save lots of time and headache this coming winter. While I don’t look forward to sick kids I do look forward to having this handy tool at my disposal for those night-time fevers because that’s when they always spike! The Temple Touch Thermometer can be found in WalMart and Sam’s Club for approx $10.

Dezign With a Z Wall Decals

We’ve all tried the trick of putting sticky decals on our walls to add come color and design. Most of them turn out flimsy, off-color and lifeless. I found the solution to that problem. Dezign With a Z takes vinyl wall decals to a new level. Dezign With a Z creates Vinyl Wall Decals that are new, fresh, young and stylish, no licensed characters or boring old quotes here. Using a team of talented artists from the US and Europe they’ve come up with innovative designs that rival anything you can find on the market. They have a huge selection of ideas from categories like Floral Art, Wall Clocks, Chalkboard Decals and Abstract everything is made with a high quality matte finish vinyl that gives the impression of each design being painted directly on the wall giving the room a unique finished look.

We were able to try out decals for the girls rooms. Picking out just the right design took a while because there were so many cool choices. I let Sabreena choose her own and she was drawn to the Hawaiian Flowers. Her new favorite color is tuquoise so I knew that was going to be her color selection. The outcome is really pretty and a striking contrast to the boring walls in the dungeon (her room is in the basement). As you can see I add the included butterflies to her mirror for a little fun change.
For Shae’s room I wanted something pretty and girly but not babyish. Moon Girl jumped out and I knew in the right color it would be the perfect addition to her big girl room.

Dezign With a Z offers a video tutorial for installing your wall decals. The process is quite different from other products I’ve tried in the past, it’s more like a 4 step process rather than a peel ‘n stick method. There is a lot of rubbing involved and while not hard it takes a little bit of time. To do Shae’s room took about 30 minutes from start to finish, the larger decal with all the points and edges takes some maneuvering. Sabreena’s room took about the same time but each flower and leaf decal was positioned and installed individually. A credit card was the best tool and didn’t require such a heavy hand as I thought it would. I am pleased with the results in both rooms and equally pleased with the quality of the decals.

Vinyl Wall Decals are a simple way to add a new dimension of color and vibrancy to a boring wall. Dezign With a Z wants to give LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to make a dramatic and stylish change to their bedroom, bathroom, playroom or anything else. Win a $50 Dezign With a Z Gift Certificate. Visit Dezign With a Z and tell me 3 decals you would love to try out.

The Studio Danielson Designs

You know I love anything and everything personalized. Things made especially for children or for others from a child bring a sense family and pride. Whether it is something handmade, hand-painted, customized or just sentimental these are the gifts I love best.

Danielson Designs is an online studio of fully customizable plaques, signs and frames. Started in Trinidad, Colorado the Danielson family was thinking ahead to the next generation that needed employment in this little town. Pooling together their talents and knowledge they came up with Danielson Designs; a business venture that not only provides great home décor for their customers but also a way to build the community around them.

The Studio by Danielson Designs is taking gift giving and home décor to a new level.
Offering customizable decorative signs and frames, The Studio is the perfect stop for those one of a kind treasures for gifts or for the home. Designing a custom piece takes just minutes and ships in 2 business days. Personalizing signs and frames has never before been this simple and affordable!
The Studio offers a variety of signs and frames for almost any occasion or relationship. Every custom piece is made from 100% recycled wood and finished exclusively with water-based finishes. Better yet, in an industry that’s notorious for sending jobs to China, each and every custom piece ordered on The Studio is made in the USA.

I was asked to analyse something from their studio and it took me forever to choose. Not because there wasn’t anything I wanted but because the choices were endless. My first thoughts went to my new nieces, gorgeous name plates for their doors or above their cribs would’ve been gorgeous but then I looked at my own girls and knew what I needed. I settled on a customized frame “Just Us Girls”. We’ve had a great summer and I wanted to capture that so I ordered the frame with our names and Summer 2009 on it. The Sisters frame was my 2nd choice. It seems each time I look at the site I find a new design idea too, something for another important person or time of my life. The Studio is an easy to use tool with the ability to add your personalized content and color choices or use from their library of phrases or quotes. A proof is immediately available so that you know if the wording or names fit well.

The frame came and it was gorgeous, with a slightly aged and casual printing it is perfect for our home or its eventual home, Rob’s work desk. I’m even more impressed with the speed of the creation and shipping. The frame came in about a week, a wonderful thing to know for last minute gifts especially with prices from $25-$40. The selections are extensive also, from baby furnishings to wilderness themes to beach house designs you’re going to find something for every décor.

Danielson Design wants to help you get a jump on your holiday shopping. Take $10 off of each purchase by using discount code MAMAFOUND. This promotion ends October 9, 2009.

Timi & Leslie Luxury Diaper Bag


Being a mom doesn’t mean you have to lose your sense of style. Carrying a diaperbag isn’t a death sentence to your fashion sense. Timi & Leslie has a collection to rival any handbag designer.

Developed in 2001 on the foundation of hand-crafted retro styled handbags, Leslie Newton realized women were using her creations for more than just a purse like carryon luggage, work bags, diaper bags and laptop bags. With this realization the Timi & Leslie collection has expanded to include children’s bags, luggage pieces and higher quality handbags.

I’ve been treated to a Timi & Leslie Parisien diaper bag in Chocolate. From the second I took this out of it’s included dust bag I was in love. The color was rich, the leather was silky smooth and the double handles gave the feel of a luxury handbag. It was a Friday afternoon and I knew we had a full weekend of things to do so I immediately filled it with all of Shae’s necessities plus my needs PLUS some goodies for Shaun like his Nintendo DS, games and snacks. The roominess was wonderful but even better was the essentials for a busy mom that is included with every convertible diaper bag.

  • Removable Shoulder Straps
  • Waterproof Lining
  • Bottle Tote
  • Stroller Straps
  • Changing Pad
  • Wristlet
  • Elasticized Inner Pockets
  • Easy Access Key Fob

*some styles also include a diaper/wipes case and medicine case

The wristlet is perfect to hold my card case, my lip gloss, gum and cash and the key fob kept my keys exactly where I needed them at all times. I’m a sucker for convenience, the stroller straps kept this bag off my shoulder, off the floor and out of the basket and securely strapped where I could see it at all times.

Timi & Leslie can be found at high end retailers and specialty shoppes and also online at e-tailers like Timi & Leslie Secret Closet and Little Dudes and Divas. If you are looking to maintain your own sense of style without compromising the convenience of traditional bag then Timi & Leslie is worth a peek. With deep discounts to make room for new styles Timi & Leslie quality totes and bags can be purchased from as low as $90 to $300.
