Costumes4Less $50 GC Giveaway-CLOSED

Shae immediately knew what she wanted to be for Halloween. From the first time I asked her she said Velma. Yes, Velma from Scooby Doo. You see, Shae is a Scooby Doo fanatic, just like the other kids were. Costumes4less offered us the chance to review their service and pick out a childrens costume, we picked VELMA obviously.

Ordering was easy and within a few hours we received our shipping information. Delivery was made in just a couple business days too. The Velma costume wasn’t expensive so we were able to get her a pirate costume also. She loves to play dress-up so this is just going into her custom wardrobe along with her brothers from his Halloween a couple years ago. They can now both walk around the house and yell ARGH!

Costumes aren’t just for Halloween or just for kids. Theme parties, dress-up and theater performances are some other occasions where costumes come in handy throughout the year. Costumes4Less.com is a place to shop for brand name halloween costumes, wigs, accessories, Mascot costumes, pet costumes and everything in between.

Birthday Outfit from My Baby Clothes Boutique plus Giveaway-CLOSED

Many of you don’t know that I have another little girl in my life. Her name is Madi (remember the Baby Shower Blog Party of last summer). Madi is one of my baby nieces, she’s the one that I babysit almost everyday (everyday starting October). Her birthday is coming up and I got her the cutest birthday outfit to help celebrate.

This two-piece Capri and A-line tunic set is perfectly adorned with a ruffled icing embellishment, single candle and ribbon trim. The polka dot pants while I think are supposed to be leggings fit a bit short so they are perfect as capris.

My baby Clothes boutique is an online shop with an adorable selection of baby and little kid clothes. The shop isn’t exclusive to girls either. Who doesn’t love a well-dressed man? This outfit (shirt, sweater vest and pants) is currently only $29.10.

Like it a little more rock and roll? This onesie and bib set is available for $38.

My Baby Clothes Boutique is the go to for designer baby clothes and unique baby gifts. Win a $25 GC from LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too by simply letting us know what you would pick out for the little one in your life.

Olive Barn for Garden Shopping and Wind Chime Giveaway-CLOSED

Music soothes the savage beast. It can at least bring some peace and calm to a stressful or hectic day. This is what my Music of the Spheres Soprano Chimes do for me. Sitting on my deck with the wind blowing, sun shining, drink in hand and the soothing musical sounds are a great way to wind down at the end of the week.

“These are professional grade, hand tuned wind chimes that are built to last. The sleek design of black, powder-coated, aluminum alloy tubing make these chimes outstanding in both sound quality and visual appeal. They are the only brand we carry at Olive Barn because no other brand meets the industry standards for tonal quality, sustain and durability. Best of all, these are made right here in the USA. Handcrafted in Austin, Texas by the talented artisans at Music of the Spheres®, Inc.”

I was given the opportunity another great item from Olive Barn. With a shop full of unique and eco-conscious garden goodies I was ecstatic when I opened up my Gypsy tuned wind chimes. We had the perfect spot near the sliding glass doors so that they can be heard inside also. Being on the end unit and having a field behind us gives us these great winds throughout the day. We are constantly being serenaded by the dingdong sounds.

A few weeks back Shaun and I were admiring wind chimes at a local shop and we realized we didn’t like the “tinkling” sounds that come from the smaller, lesser quality instruments. He picked out a wind chime very similar to the one received from Olive Barn. We ended up not purchasing it due to other purchases made that day. He’s very excited about having one now; he knows it makes his mommy happy.

Whether it’s a beautiful set of wind chimes or striking sun-catchers or seeds and bulbs for the garden Olive Barn has a mix of practical and indulgent gifts for yourself and others. Being a “green” business is also very important. Using only eco-friendly shipping materials whenever possible helps them make a positive impact on the world we all live in. They like this planet and they want to keep it around for as long as possible.

Shopping is fun and exciting at Olive Barn but winning is even better. Win Music of the Spheres Soprano Wind Chimes for yourself. Listen to the available tunings and tell me which you prefer.

Fiskars Salsa Rain Barrel System with DiverterPro Recap

Are you looking for a more natural way to collect water for your household garden and plants? Melinda and I were too and recently we were lucky enough to receive a Fiskars Salsa Rain Barrel System with DiverterPro.

The Fiskars Salsa Rain Barrel System with DiverterPro arrived just in time because at our house we have a full garden plus we have additional tomato and pepper plants in pots as well as herbs in a pot. We use a TON of water during the spring and summer months to keep all of our vegetables and herbs hydrated. Before receiving the rain barrel Melinda and I discussed ways we would collect rain water so we could use a more natural approach in our watering. We tried to leave the watering can out to collect rain which it was able to collect some but nowhere near enough to water everything.
Here are a few features of the Fiskars Salsa Rain Barrel System with DiverterPro then we will discuss the installation process.

 

Features

 

  • DiveterPro™ channels rainwater from the downspout into the rain barrel. When the barrel is full, the diverter channels the water back to the downspout and away from your home
  • Removable filter to capture debris and transparent door to see if cleaning is needed
  • Fits both standard downspout sizes.
  • Spice granite color
  • Holds 58 gallons
  • Barrel and cover made of recyclable, UV-treated, impact-resistant polyethylene
  • Integrated base provides clearance for filling watering cans
  • Flat-back fits snug to house
  • Rain barrel made in U.S.A.
  • Limited 3-year warranty

 

Ok, now on to the install process. I’m not a person who typically reads directions but I made sure I did this time so before you install the rain barrel and DiverterPro be sure to read the directions (it is in your best interest). You will need to make a few measurements and cuts to the rain downspout on your home and you only have one chance to do it right so please be sure to read the directions. Believe it or not it was pretty simple to install. The hardest part for me was getting the ground level for my rain barrel. I actually needed to go to Home Depot so I could pick up a few patio pavers to make a level surface. Other then that everything else was pretty straight forward. You will need a drill to drill a hole in the side of the rain barrel and also a saw to cut the downspout. The DiverterPro went on easy and installing the tube from the DiverterPro to the rain barrel was straight forward as well.

 

Now I am waiting for rain, LOL. While we were away on vacation the barrel collected some rain but not enough to use yet. So I am hoping I get to use the Fiskars Salsa Rain Barrel System with DiverterPro before the end of the season but if not no big deal I will have it for next year where it will get used for sure.

 

Need/want a rain barrel for your home? If so you have struck gold because Fiskars is giving one lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! Reader a Fiskars Salsa Rain Barrel System with DiverterPro valued at $149.99.  Go to Fiskars and tell me something you learned about Fiskars or a product you would love to try.

Zuvo Water Purator Recap

Water is the #1 drink in our house with coffee #2 for me so it is important to have good clean filtered drinking water. The water in our area tastes terrible and bottle water is way too expensive so we decided to give the Zuvo Under Counter Water Purator a try. So far it is working AWESOME and the water tastes GREAT.

Melinda is very picky on the taste of the water and after I finished installing (will talk about more in a minute) the under counter water purator she was the first person I asked to taste the water. To my surprise she said the water tasted good which is huge because she absolutely hated the water in our house before the Zuvo. We use the Zuvo for drinking water and for coffee in the morning. You’ll be surprised how much different and better your coffee tastes with good filtered water instead of regular tap water.

The Zuvo Water Purator™ uses a patented five-step process to produce clean, healthy, great tasting water…just the way nature intended!


STEP 1: OZONATION


In nature, ozone is generated by lightning and cleans the air where rainwater forms. The Zuvo Water Purator mixes ozone with incoming tap water to treat taste and odor contaminants and improve taste. Like chlorine, ozone is a powerful oxidizer. Unlike chlorine, ozone leaves no chemical residue.


STEP 2: ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT


The ozone saturated water is flooded with high-intensity UV light – the same as the solar energy that cleans water in the upper atmosphere.


STEP 3: PHOTO-OXIDATION


The Zuvo Water Purator combines UV and ozone in a patented process known as photo-oxidation which releases powerful oxidizers to further treat the water.


STEP 4: FILTRATION WITH LEAD REMOVAL


Pure spring water is created by passing through fine particles in the earth. Zuvo uses the same principle by passing water through a Class 1 Particulate Reduction Filter, reducing chlorine taste and odor, lead, and tiny particulates.


STEP 5: POST-FILTRATION UV


The filtered water is again exposed to high-intensity UV light as it leaves the Zuvo Water Purator, ensuring that you get clean, healthy, great tasting water…just the way nature intended!

With the 5 step process used by the Zuvo you can see why Melinda and I see a HUGE difference in our drinking water and I am sure you would also.

Now lets talk about the installation process. The Zuvo Below-Counter Water Filtration System was pretty easy to install. I did run into two slight problems. The first is both models (above-counter and below-counter) need to be plugged in. No outlet for the plug means no clean delicious water for you. So I didn’t notice until half way through the process that I didn’t have a plug under my sink so I needed to drill through the floor in order to get to an outlet in the basement which probably took an extra hour. Also, be sure not to plug your Zuvo into the same plug as your garbage disposal because that means you would need to turn your garbage disposal on to use the Zuvo and that isn’t going to work. The second problem I had was after I was totally done the install and I turned on the water I had a leak. The problem was I didn’t have the fitting that runs to the cold water supply and to the Zuvo tight enough and that was because the piece was plastic and I was afraid to break it due to over tightening. Suggestion here is I wish the fitting was metal or brass but after a turn or two more the leak stopped. Total install time for the under counter model if you have an accessible plug would be an hour or less. We previously had a water system with a butler faucet so I didn’t need to drill a hole for that but if you did maybe another 10 minutes on the hour install time and I am sure I am over estimating.

I am very impressed with the Zuvo so far and the quality of drinking water that is produces. The butler faucet dispenses water a little slowly for me because I am super impatient but maybe that is because the rigorous process the Zuvo puts the water through. It is well worth the few seconds wait for good quality drinking water.  If you want to pick up a Zuvo for your home click HERE to see where you can purchase one.

One lucky winner will win a Zuvo Above-Counter Filtration Sytem worth $300 from Look what Mom Found…and Dad too! Head over to Zuvo and tell me something interesting you found on their site (Be orginial and don’t copy from the entry above you).

Back to School The Children’s Place GC Giveaway-CLOSED

Today was the first day of school for Shaun and last week before we left on vacation we realized Shaun needed some new shorts and khaki pants for vacation and school so we headed over to The Children’s Place.

We have been shopping at The Children’s Place for years. I remember shopping at Children’s Place for Sabreena who is now 14 years old. One of the main reasons we continue to shop at Children’s Place is it’s affordable plus the styles look great. With three kids to buy for we need to stretch our dollar and we are usually able to find sweet deals on clothes at Children’s Place. Melinda and I also like the selection that they offer. Shaun is a pretty basic boy who usually wears shorts or jeans depending on the season and t shirts and long sleeve tees. Children’s Place offers a ton of different t-shirts graphics, jean colors and styles and they even have uniforms for those kids who need them for school. They also offer sneakers, coats, hat, gloves, sleepwear and backpacks. His winter coat has come from Children’s Place for the last couple year and usually lasts as long at it fits

With school back in full swing be sure to check out there clothing line up and fantastic prices on everything you need to send your kids to school in style.  Win a $25 Gift Card to start fall and school shopping. Visit The Children’s Place and tell me one of the “outfits” you particularly like.

Back to School T.J. Maxx GC Giveaway-CLOSED

School started today for Sabreena and she was beyond excited! It’s still summer here so we haven’t actually done a whole lot of school clothes shopping yet. We are headed out to T.J. Maxx next week though to check out the jeans and sneakers selection. She likes the “already been worn 100 times look” in jeans. Do you know how much those cost? T.J. Maxx has all the latest styles AND designers at normal people prices.

This season is no different. Hit up your local T.J.Maxx or Marshalls stores for the latest in denim styles such as jeggings, backpacks in the coolest colors and patterns and new fall outerwear such as faux leather bombers. It was chilly out this morning as Sabreena was waiting for the bus, she could’ve used something like that.

This season do more than shop with T.J. Maxx; help a child in need. Post a tote to your Facebook wall to help them reach their $50,000 donation goal to Save the Children. For every tote posted, T.J.Maxx will donate $1, up to $50,000, to Save the Children’s U.S. Programs, which provide early education, nutrition, physical fitness and literacy programs to children in need.

Win a $25 Gift Card to T.J. Maxx (also redeemable at Marshalls) during the LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Back to School Blitz. Visit T.J. Maxx and sign up for their email subscription which will keep you in the loop of great finds, news and events.

Back to School TI-Nspire Touchpad Calculator Giveaway-CLOSED

I remember when I was in high school (which was a very long time ago, LOL) and needing a scientific calculator. If I remember correctly it was a Texas Instrument; expensive and did everything but not like the new TI-Nspire with Touchpad from Texas Instrument.

We recently received the TI-Nspire with Touchpad from Texas Instrument for review and just in the nick of time because on the 30th of this month Sabreena will be starting high school and this calculator will be getting used often. The TI-Nspire with Touchpad has a ton of really cool features like Touch it and Graph it. The Touch it is an easy glide touchpad which allows it to operate like a computer with a mouse. You can install software onto your home computer which allows you to easily create, edit and transfer TI-Nspire documents between computer and handheld. With this software you can save your documents, print out documents and share TI-Nspire documents between calculator and computer – and with your teacher.

The TI-Nspire with Touchpad from Texas Instrument also has a nice selection of accessories like a rechargeable battery and in interchangeable keypads. The TI-Nspire comes with four AAA batteries but the rechargeable battery allows you to easily charge it via the wall adapter or USB to charge it through the computer. Interchange it –When you snap on the TI-84 Plus Keypad, you get all the features of the TI-84Plus – a great added value. Need one? Get it by mail at no added cost – just look on your package.

This is a really hi-tech calculator that your student should not be without. I am glad that Sabreena will be starting off high school on the right foot with the TI-Nspire with Touchpad from Texas Instrument. Win a Math Makeover Kit which includes a TI-Nspire calculator, 60 minutes Tutor.com, and other fun prizes for a student in your life. Tell me who would benefit from this “Math Makeover”

Back to School Bearpaw Shoes Giveaway-CLOSED

With the start of school comes the end of summer. Very soon we’ll have to pack up the shorts and flip flops and trade them in for scarves and jackets. Bearpaw Shoes are Sabreena and my Fall and Winter staple. I’ve literally lived in my Loki slippers and Sabreena is wearing out the toes of her classic Dream boots.

Bearpaw Shoes was founded in 2001 with the intention of providing casual, comfortable shoes using materials that made sense. Sheepskin is a natural material and regulates body temperature; keeping feet dry in the summer and warm in the winter. While most of the styles of Bearpaw Shoes look most appropriate for winter these shoes are meant to be worn all the time.

Whether shopping for the Classic Sweater or something unexpected like the Kola style with goat fur you’ll be rewarded with ultra trendy and comfortable footwear.

Win your own pair of Bearpaw Shoes(Meadow’s, Emma’s or Knit) to end your summer on the right foot! Visit the shop and tell me what OTHER pair you’d love to own.
