Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler Review and Giveaway

We all know how important recycling is, trust me my kids remind me everyday, but do we slack when its not convenient?  The town I live in has recycling pick up, but only in town, and those of us who live on the outskirts don't have that luxury.  There is a place where I can take my recyclables and drop them off, but I will admit that I don't always do it.  Why?  I guess here is where I list a bunch of excuses....Ok, I only really have one.  My house has a detached garage and we already have unsightly garbage cans next to the house (that keep migrating) so the last thing I want is another container sitting out there for my recyclables.  You may think that is a lousy excuse but have you ever had to run around your yard and pick up a bunch of newspapers and plastic bottles that are blowing around in a thunderstorm?  I don't have a place to put a container inside my house and I definitely don't want to stack them on my counters.  Rubbermaid came up with a perfect solution for my issue, they came up with the Hidden Recycler. 

This little guy is the perfect size to hang over a cabinet door (or attach to) and its big enough to hold items like gallon milk jugs.  The bag is actually a 5 gallon bag and can hold up to 36  twelve ounce cans.  The bag is soft and flexible, has a leak proof liner and is machine washable.  Plus everything from the packaging to the bag is completely recyclable.  My favorite part is that when it is full I can do one of two things, take it out to the garage to dump into a larger container OR I can just take it with me when I run to town and recycle it.  I usually just do the second one because it is really inconvenient to try to pack up a garbage can size container in to a car full of kids so you can go and recycle it. 

I can now recyle without all the hassle, and the nagging kids.  If you want a chance to win one of your own, just leave me a comment below and don't forget to include your email address so I have a way to track you down if you win, open to US and Canada only.

This giveaway will end at midnight on May 11th, Good Luck!

Great Day To Be A Dog #iLoveMyK9 #CBias #SocialFabric

Our dog Lucy is more than just our pet, she is one of our family members and we love her crazy little ways.  We again had the opportunity to share our love for dogs by purchasing items to put together a gift basket for donation.  Our favorite place to donate pet items is Tails Humane Society, a no kill shelter in the neighboring town.  We go there quite often and just hang out and play with the cats and pet the dogs.  We made a shopping list with three of the items that we knew we wanted to get, the rest we would decide when we got there.  This time the whole family was going to go shopping.  On our list we had  Milk Bone Trail Mix, Pup-Peroni Mix Stix, and Milo’s Kitchen Homestyle Treats.

Little man took a ride on the cart all the way to the pet section at our local Wal Mart.  I told the kids what we were looking for and they started checking the shelves.

The shelves were a little messy, lots of empty boxes and things shuffled around, but we knew where the Milo's Kitchen treats were because we had bought them before.

We got a small bag of the Beef Sausage Slices.  If you ever buy these, make sure you leave them in the original packaging or something else labeled tog treats because they look and smell just like people food and could probably be easily mistaken.  I do not know what they taste like but they smell amazing!

The Pup-Peroni Mix Sticks were also easy to find, these are made with bacon and real egg, and they are really well priced.



Next on our list was the Milk Bone Trail Mix.  I had not seen it before but I knew that all the Milk Bone products are usually grouped together.  At our Wal Mart they are at the bottom of the shelves.  I looked through all the boxes but could not find it.  The kids were helping too and we did not see it anywhere.  We did buy a box of different Milk Bone treats to put into our donation though.  We decided that we would get the rest of our shopping done, then come back and look again, just to make sure we did not miss it. 

We made our rounds around the store, getting what we needed, and stopped in the toy isles for some browsing, then headed back to the pet section.

We scoured the isles and end caps but still didn't find the Trail Mix, so we got another box of regular Milk Bones.

We came home with a nice selection of treats, some dental bones and a soft squeaky toy, now to pack it all up.

Ready for delivery, unfortunately they are not open Sunday nights so this will have to wait until Monday after school.  The kids are super excited to take this to Tails and play with some animals while we are there.  If you want to see our entire shop, you can check out my Google + album by clicking here.

Eucerin Daily Protection and Visa Gift Card Giveaway

Spring is in full swing and everyday elements like climate change and pollution can weaken your skin’s protective barrier over time.  Dry skin is not just a problem during the winter, changes in temperature, humidity and other environmental factors can lead to dry skin all year round.  As the weather is getting warmer, you can help maintain your skin’s health with essential cleansers and moisturizers to perk up your skin care regime.   Eucerin has some awesome new moisturizers to help you with all of that, the Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 15 Body and SPF 30 Face.  These  lotions are great moisturizers that also provide protection from the harmful effects of the sun.  They are also dermatologist recommended, and fragrance free.  The face lotion is also non-comedogenic, and clinically proven safe for sensitive skin

Spring is filled with lots of different activities (at least for our crazy little family); whether you enjoy running outside, playing sports (or watching your kids play them), or just taking it easy and relaxing.   As you plan outdoor activities for your family, it’s important to remember your skin needs daily protection so you can prevent skin problems later in life.

I really love these lotions, they are light weight, fast absorbing and non greasy.  I moisturize my face every morning, as part of my morning routine, so I replaced my regular moisturizer with the Daily Protection face lotion with SPF and now I don't have to worry about remembering to apply sunscreen.

Don't forget to help your skin get healthy from the inside out by eating a diet consisting of plenty of fruits, veggies, lean protein and high-fiber grains, as well as getting plenty of water.

If you are ever unsure of what Eucerin skin care products to use for your skin type then they have the right tool for you!  They just launched their new SkinDicator app that recommends a product based your SkinDicator quiz results.

Still wondering about which Eucerin product to try, Eucerin’s Facebook page, offers a Digital Dermatologist that will answer their questions and guide you to healthy looking skin.

Make Music Chicago 2012

If you are looking for some great free entertainment this summer and you live in the Chicagoland area, you need to check out Make Music Chicago.  Make Music Chicago is a one-day music festival presented by Rush Hour Concerts, and it returns for its second annual event on the first day of summer, Thursday, June 21.  


"Make Music Chicago celebrates the ability of everyone to make music as people of all ages, musical genres and ability levels (from amateurs to marquee artists) all gather throughout the day in Chicago’s public spaces to engage in music-making."

98.7WFMT will devote its entire day of broadcasting on June 21 to Make Music Chicago.  They will broadcast live at select sites throughout the day and, in between concerts, use roving reporters to check in on happenings at venues all across the city. The broadcast will conclude with a live broadcast of the Grand Finale at St. James Cathedral. 

Last year, over 10,000 people experienced live music at 35 sites all over the city; in 2012, Make Music Chicago’s “spontaneous musical combustion” will spread across the city to over 75 sites. Make Music Chicago is free to both audiences and musicians alike and no tickets are required for any of the events.

“We launched Make Music Chicago last year knowing that we wanted to join in this international day of music-making,” said Deborah Sobol, Rush Hour Concerts Creative Director. “The enthusiasm that radiated from the whole city was palpable. Everyone taking part knew that they were part of something much larger than themselves – they’re joining people all over the world in making music.”

Performance sites consist of public spaces citywide, including Daley Plaza, Millennium Park, both Apple stores (Michigan Avenue and North Avenue), Macy’s State Street, John Hancock Center, Museum Campus, Northerly Island and over 25 Chicago Park District sites, among many others. This year Make Music Chicago is expanding both in scale and geographically, reaching north, south and west beyond the city proper. New neighborhoods which will be hosting Make Music events include the north shore communities from Evanston up to Lake Bluff, as well as Chinatown, Pilsen, Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Hyde Park and Austin. A complete list of performance sites can be found at www.makemusicchicago.com/sites.

The festivities will begin during the morning rush hour with music-makers gathering on street corners in the Loop to engage in performances. The musical celebration will continue throughout the day, with two lunchtime events returning from last year, the “Sousapalooza” from noon to 12:45 PM and an “Opera & Show Tunes Sing-Along” from 12:45 to 1:30 PM, both taking place in Daley Plaza (50 W. Washington). Richard Fischer, Director of Bands at Concordia University-Chicago, will lead any and all eager “Sousapalooza” participants through some of the most beloved marches of John Philip Sousa, then opera and chorus fans will gather to sing beloved American musical favorites.

Make Music Chicago’s Family Concerts will also occur throughout the day, including performances at the Lincoln Park Zoo, where woodwind ensemble Quintet Attacca will perform their interactive "Peter and the Wolf" show; “Musikgarten Hour” citywide, for fans of the popular music education series, and Family Concerts at the Chicago Children’s Museum and Seneca Park.

The day’s events will close with a Grand Finale at St. James Cathedral Commons (65 E. Huron Street in River North) from 6 to 9 PM, featuring singers from the Ryan Opera Center of Lyric Opera Chicago, instrumentalists from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, musicians from Third Coast Percussion with the Davis Square Park Community Band, and a massive public performance of Robert Johnson’s popular blues standard, “Sweet Home Chicago,” the signature culmination that became tradition last year.

Additional events and program details will be announced at a later time. All programs are subject to change.

Music-makers of all varieties are encouraged to continue signing up through April 30 online at www.makemusicchicago.com/participate. A complete and up-to-the-minute list of music-makers can be found at www.makemusicchicago.com/music-makers.

Ice Cream Fairy Review

I'm really excited to tell you about the cutest products for babies and kids under three, from a sweet company called Ice Cream Fairy.  This company is currently selling their products in Korea, but are getting ready for their US launch.  I just checked the US site and it is up and running but not quite ready for purchasing yet.   Bet you want to know what they offer, right, they have the cutest baby clothes and accessories in the most darling prints!  Let me show you some of their stuff....

This little hat, the Clyde, comes in many colors and is cute for a boy or a girl.  Keep your baby's head covered from the sun in style this summer!  The little button on the front is a little ice cream cone just like the one on their logo.  I got to check out one of these hats, it has straps to keep it in place of course, and is very well made.

The dreambow is a little pillow that is just the right size for a baby or toddler.  This is something you can stick in the stroller or pack and play for nap time. 

I can't tell you enough how much I love their fabrics and patterns, they are simple and sweet and sophisticated at the same time.

They also have the cutest little clothes for boys and girls, I can't wait until this stuff is available in the US.  I have to tell you guys though, this company pays a lot of attention to details, when I got my samples in the mail I was pleasantly surprised.  Each item was in a gorgeous gift box with that cute ice cream logo, ready to give as a gift.  Even the tags were cute ice cream cone cardboard cut outs attached with ribbon.  Although my kids are too big for anything they sell (I'm bummed about that) this is stuff that I would give to someone for a shower gift or welcoming baby gift.  To check out all the neat stuff that will soon be available for purchase you can visit their Korean website by clicking here or you can check their US website by clicking here.  Keep in mind that the US website is not quite finished yet and you may need to revisit again sometime in the near future to see if it is fully finished.  I will also post as soon as I hear something and things are available for purchase.

Delta Dental of Illinois Foundation Electric Toothbrush Giveaway (IL Only)

We just had a dental hygenist come in to my son's school and talk to the parents about their children's dental care.  Many parents don’t know that children should visit the dentist within six months of getting the first tooth – and no later than the first birthday. In fact, Illinois children don’t visit the dentist, on average, until they are 3 ½ years old.  Some parents are not aware that you should clean your baby's teeth, when they start teething, just like you would an older child. 

A visit by age 1 lets you and your child develop a relationship with a dentist, which can help set a foundation for good oral health, and spot potential dental problems before they get bad. Your child could have pain in one of his or her teeth, but may be too young to tell you.

The Delta Dental of Illinois Foundation is kicking off “Dentist by 1,” a statewide public service campaign designed to educate parents about the benefits of taking their children to the dentist by age 1 and to encourage them to schedule a visit.

Along with this campaign, the Delta Dental of Illinois Foundation is offering one of my readers an electric toothbrush ($160 value) to help promote good oral health! (Open to Illinois residents only).

To enter, tell me about your child’s first trip to the dentist or something funny about their oral health care habits in the comments under this article. This Delta Dental of Illinois Foundation “Dentist by 1” Electric Toothbrush giveaway begins today and ends at midnight on May 16th.

For additional entries:

• Pledge to take your kids to the dentist by age 1 or to regular visits at www.dentistby1.com and tell me in the comments below. When you pledge, Delta Dental of Illinois Foundation will donate an oral health kit to a local, underprivileged child and will also send you a kit! (Kits include a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste and a children’s oral health tip sheet.)

“Like” Delta Dental of Illinois on Facebook for more information about upcoming contests and tips on establishing good oral health habits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Good Luck!

We Went to See Circus Spectacular

Recently we visited one of our favorite venues, the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, to see another amazing performance.  This time we got the opportunity to experience Circus Spectacular.  I have seen three ring circus performances in the past, but I have to say, this one was the most entertaining.  Before I continue, if you have concerns about the animals and how they are treated, please read my previous post about how Circus Spectacular takes care of their animal performers, you can read that post here.  

The show has everything from high flyers, to wild tigers, clowns, stunts and great music.  Even my 4 year old who has absolutley no attention span was loving every minute of the show.  The transition performances were just as entertaining as the main ones.

As you can tell, some of our favorites were the elephants, they were so cute.  We especially like Bo!  Some of our other faves were the dogs, and the little dog that performed with the clown....had us cracking up.  The tigers were great too, I was sitting at the edge of my seat because one of the tigers was acting up a little, not wanting to listen to the handler....I was scared for him, but he knew what he was doing.  The night we were there it was a packed show, tons of people, but of course at the Sears Centre there is not a bad seat in the house, plus since this is a 3 ring circus, no matter where you sit there is action right by you. 

During intermission (and prior to the show) you could take a pony, camel or elephant ride!  Circus spectacular is the FULL circus experience, and if you have never seen a circus show before, this should be your first.

Silk Fruit & Protein Makes Amazing Smoothies #CBias #SilkFruit

As a super busy mom, I'm always looking for fast, easy, HEALTHY breakfast options for my family.  One of my children is the epitome of picky eaters so getting him to eat fruits and veggies is virtually impossible.  Silk Fruit & Protein is packed full of healthy ingredients and it tastes great, but what else can you do with it?  Well you can use it to make delicious smoothies that are a great way to start (or end) the day.  I went on a little shopping trip with my son to our local Wal-Mart to pick up some Silk Fruit & Protein and some fruit to see what kind of flavor we could come up with.

He's ready to get some fruit!

We walked around the produce section, choosing fruit that we thought would taste great in our smoothies.



We ended up with strawberries, oranges and mangoes, I guess we were in a tropical mood.  When we got home we cut up all of our ingredients and put them in our little smoothie maker.

 At first we were going to use the Berry Silk but at the last minute we changed our minds and decided to use the Strawberry Banana flavor.

 Here is a picture of all the fruit that we put in and topped off with the Silk Fruit and Protein...

The finished product.  We have made many smoothies with many ingredients in the past but this one came out the best!  I'm just excited that little man liked it, it gives me one more healthy option to add to his otherwise junky diet.  My husband is a huge fan of these smoothies too.

I really enjoy drinking this new Silk post workout, as a smoothie or just by itself, and I don't have to feel guilty.  I can't wait until its really hot out so I can try to blend it with some ice for a frozen smoothie treat.  If you want to check out my whole entire shopping trip you can check out my Google + album by clicking here.

We Had a Bobble Bots Moshi Monsters Party!

Let me tell you just how excited the kids were when they came home from school and saw this!  We were chosen to host a Bobble Bots Moshi Monster Party!  I was already familiar with the Moshi Monster website because my kids have accounts on there and play games online, but I had no idea just how awesome the Bobble Bots were until we got that giant box delivered.  My first impression of the Bobble Bots was that these little guys were really collectible and I knew that they would quickly become one of the kids new favorite toys.  It was really hard for the kids to wait for the party, they wanted to open the boxes right away, but I thought it would be more fun to assemble the cute little stores and play areas during the party.  The Bobble Bots themselves are these cute, colorful little creatures, that when turned on with the little switch on the back, buzz and bobble around on their play areas or anywhere else.  They are made by the same people that brought you HEXBUG® Micro Robotic Creatures, so if you love those, you will really love these little guys.

At the party, we started opening all of the boxes.  The older kids assembled the shops and play areas, while the younger boys laughed and played with the silly Bobble Bots.  They were cracking up when the Bobble Bots tip over, they spin around and look like they are break dancing.

Here some adventurous Bobble Bots are jumping from the box tower while they wait for their playsets to get built.

We loved how all the playsets joined together and could be moved around and reconnected.  They played with this stuff for hours, connecting and disconnecting and building a town.  Its hillarious watching the Bobble Bots go through the little doors in the shops, we had a blast.

We also really liked that each Bobble Bot and play set come with a special code to use on the Moshi Monsters website.  The kids were really excited about that. 

If you are lookig for something to entertain your kids, or to give as a birthday present, Bobble Bots will surely be a favorite.

Silk Fruit and Protein Review and Giveaway

If you are looking for something totally new for breakfast, you have to try the new Silk Fruit and Protein.  It has the great taste of fruit juice and the nourishing power of protein. Silky-smooth, fruit-luscious and easy to love, Silk Fruit&Protein is marvelous in the morning or awesome in the afternoon.

The new fruit and protein Silk comes in three yummy flavors, Mixed Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Mango Peach.  I think my favorite is the Mango Peach, I like the tropical taste of it, my kids prefer the mixed berry.  Here are some other great reasons to give it a try:

• Silk Fruit & Protein comes in quart sizes at most major retailers, and is available in half-gallons only at Walmart.
• Fruit & Protein is already getting rave reviews on the Silk Facebook page
• Good source of protein;   5 grams of protein per serving (1 Cup)
• Excellent source of calcium and vitamin D
• Excellent source of vitamin C
• Love It Guarantee Or Your Money Back.

I like to drink the Silk Fruit and Protein after a work out, and my kids love to make smoothies with it.  We just throw some fruit in the blender, top off with Silk and voila! you have a healthy treat.  Even if you have tried regular Silk, and were not a big fan of it, this has a totally different flavor.  My husband, who doesn't like regular Silk, LOVES this stuff and drinks it all the time. 

One of my readers will win 3 coupons for free Silk Fruit and Protein, so you can try all three flavors!  All you have to do is leave me a comment below with which flavor sounds best to you and your email address.  Open to US only, giveaway will end at midnight on 4/21 .  Good Luck!
