TASSIMO T20 Home Brewing System

January 18, 2011 by

When I make coffee at home I want something that is fast, convenient and simple to clean up and that is where the Tassimo T20 Home Brewing System comes in.

The first thing I really liked when I opened the Tassimo T20 Home Brewing System was its size.  It was small which means it won’t take up a ton of precious counter space that we really don’t have.

Below are a few features of the chic black TASSIMO T20 home brewing system:

  • Innovative barcode technology that delivers the perfect drink every time
  • A space saving design in chic black
  • Removable 1.5 litre water tank
  • Noise reduction system
  • Immediately ready to brew drinks
  • No taste transfer between drinks
  • Low energy consumption
  • Fully automatic one-button operation
  • Automatic cleaning and descaling program

I immediately made Melinda and myself a Starbuck cappuccino that was included after opening and setting up the Tassimo T20 Home Brewing System.  All I needed to do was add water, run one or two cycles of water through the machine and I was off in coffee/cappuccino heaven.   To my surprise they turned out pretty well.  I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised and was excited at its performance.

So far I am super pleased with the Tassimo T20 Home Brewing System and glad to have it in my kitchen for those days when I just don’t feel like making a full pot of coffee.

Would you like a Tassimo T20 Home Brewing System of your own?  One lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader will have a chance to win one.  All you need to do is head over to Tassimo and tell me what T DISC flavor you would love to try.

Meet the New Flip Family and enter to WIN Flip MinoHD

December 8, 2010 by

One of the hottest and most popular gifts this season is the Flip camcorder. It’s small package, easy to use design and quick download are it’s greatest features.  It’s small enough to carry everywhere but still powerful enough to to capture those funniest/sweetest/happiest moments in your life?

A lot families struggle with using video cameras on a regular basis because they aren’t very user friendly. Chargers, cables, replacing batteries,memory cards, size and price are the biggest complaints. The answer to all of these issues is the Flip Video UltraHD or MinoHD or the newest addition, the SlideHD point and share camcorder.  Cisco launched a new line of Flip cameras that still have the great features we’ve grown to love but now with enhanced quality, a sleeker design and fun accessories and design options. The simplicity of using this camcorder is still its biggest selling point. Turn it on and you’re ready to go. There is a zoom in/out feature too but I don’t use it that often as I’m mostly recording the kids doing something or Rob eating something strange.


The Flip gets its name from the flip out USB plug that allows instant upload to YouTube, your pc or a separate editing program. No need for a separate software upload; the FlipShare program installs directly to your PC when you first plug in. Doing this also charges the Flip camera.

There are 3 choices of cameras from Flip; the Mino HD, the Ultra HD and the new SlideHD. The differences between them in my opinion are slight. The UltraHD can utilize batteries while the SlideHD has a larger image viewing screen. We’ve only had MinoHD cameras and they’ve always proved to be efficient, really good quality and best of all easy to use.

We’ve been using our Flip cameras almost exclusively for over a year. We do break out our JVC Everio for Christmas just due to capacity and battery life. The Flip is always in my purse waiting for that next great moment. We captured a great one on our family cruise this summer; Shae learned how to swim.

One complaint I have about the Flip is the lack of extra lighting or a flash but I’ve come to adjust my filming especially if it’s something planned. Instead of using in our low light living room I take it to the kitchen or better yet outside where we always get great products. Also I see where people can complain about the fixed FlipPort. Unless you are sitting on a stable, flat surface there is a chance that you can easily damage it by letting it dangle.

Dessert Anyone?

November 17, 2010 by

Do you know what you’re getting for the kids and babies in your family for the holidays? Visit Land of Nod not just for toys and games but for furniture, organization idea and nursery décor. In fact I only knew about Land of Nod for their extensive nursery and baby gear selections. I always wanted to register there but their actual stores are in the Chicago area plus one in Seattle.

The Land of Nod is a leading catalog, web and retail company. In addition to specializing in exclusive children’s furniture, bedding, playrooms, and accessories,The Land of Nod also carries popular baby gear brands in strollers, car seats, clothing, toys, and much more.  The Land of Nod: You’ll find everything for your kid’s room from A to ZZZ.

This holiday season The Land of Nod is showing off some of their favorite products to the blog world. I got the chance to review the Two Tier Treat Tray. You all should now our obsession with playfood and the fact that Shae plays in her kitchen each day. The particular set is absolutely adorable and perfect for kids who play kitchen, store or tea party. My best friend’s kids play store every day; they turn their play kitchen into a bakery where they serve pizza and donuts. This dessert collection is going to be the perfect addition to their make believe store front.

This set includes three cupcakes, three chocolate cookies, two vanilla cookies, two cake rolls, two slices of cake and three wafers. Best of all it is made with sustainable solid wood. The assembly literally takes 2 minutes; 2 bolts to put the tray together. Each piece is painted and decorated to be cute with realistic touches. I can’t wait to see those kids open this up.

Holiday Wishlist 2010 – Comfy Sacks Bean Bag Chair Giveaway

November 3, 2010 by

Comfort is key when it’s time to settle down in the living room. Yeah the sofa and chairs are comfortable but you know what’s even better; a Comfy Sack. A Comfy Sack is a “bean bag” with a twist.

Comfy Sacks uses superior foam and quality fabrics than any other foam bag chair company on the market. Their foam is softer and more comfortable because they use premium furniture grade foam.


We received our Comfy Sack bean bag chair about a month ago and were amazed at the size of the box it same in. I knew we ordered a 6Foot Lounger but the package was no bigger than Shae. The process of opening it, setting it up and fluffing up the foam took just minutes but it was a hysterical few minutes. We were all amazed at the size it finally ended up being. Fully fluffed it is taller than Shae but soft enough that she can climb on easily. It may not have been the smartest idea to get such a large Comfy Sack because it takes up so much room but I can’t imagine not having it in the living room.

packed up tight

The 6 foot lounger is big enough the kids to all sit together and watch a movie and best of all big enough that Rob and I can take a quick nap on Saturday afternoon. Imagine having company over for football and having this for an extra 2 or 3 seats. It’s a perfect spot to tackle my niece and tickle her till she can’t breathe. It’s used so much that when we had to move it out of the room for a party my son cried thinking we got rid of it. A small bean bag chair would be perfect for a kid’s bedroom as a gaming seat, reading spot or quiet spot to just play, relax or doze. With plenty of colors and materials to choose from you can pop a Comfy Sack into almost any room for instant seating, comfort, warmth and play. I say play because we probably use it in ways we aren’t supposed to (like launching baby dolls into the air after jumping on it from the sofa).

This is a good fit for our family even though it takes up a ridiculous amount of space in our living room. This holiday season LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! is giving away a 3.5 foot suede Sack (winner chooses the color), $181 value. Visit Comfy Sacks and tell me which bean bag (size/color/style) would get the most use in your home.

a beach day on Isla Roatan, Honduras

August 26, 2010 by

Yesterday by far was the best day we’ve had on the Dream so far.. Our port was Isla Roatan, Honduras. We made our way easily to Mahogany Beach, a quick 10 minute walk. The water was beautiful blue, the sands were silky white and the beach chairs were plentiful!

We rented a clamshell hut but ended up not really using ut as we spend hours in the water. We took a break to have a snack and some drinks at Fat Tuesday but immediately headed back into the water. The kids loved the calm waters and exploring in the sand for shells and rocks. We noticed people pulling Conch shells out of the deeper end but had no luck in getting one ourselves. This beach is my absolute favorite; if it ever expands to a resort area I’m coming back.

We also got a little VIP treatment on the boat. We were give a private tour of the bridge and got to meet some of the captains crew. This was so incredible to see, the size of the bridge alone took our breath away. I was expecting something much smaller but this was set up to comfort all the way.

We learned a lot of interesting facts about the ship and the function of it. To even become a captain takes about 7 years of education and training.

I can’t believe we only have 2 more nights left. Looks like we might be booking a cruise next year for our 10 year anniversary!

Thank you to Carnival for providing the complimentary 7-day cruise as part of their Mom-bassador Program. All opinions and descriptions presented belong solely to LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! and were not influenced in anyway by anyone.
