Swiffer Wet Jet Mission! Review

I was put on a mission by Swiffer Wet Jet. My mission was to try out the Swiffer Wet Jet and to clean my floors.

I have always been a fan of Swiffer Wet Jet. I was really impressed with the new features of the Swiffer Wet Jet.

Here is some information from their website:

The new Swiffer® WetJet® gives you a deep clean on virtually any floor* in up to half the time.** With a new dual-nozzle sprayer and a stronger pole, this all-in-one mopping system breaks up and dissolves tough messes better than a mop and bucket. Plus its cleaning solution is designed to penetrate layers of dirt, absorb dirt and grime into the WetJet pad, and lock it away for good. And now you can scrub really tough, dried-on spots or messes with the larger scrubby strip.

From trapping and locking dirt and grime to cleaning up tough jobs better than a mop and bucket.

Check them out HERE they also have a coupon available!

Thank you MyBlogSpark for the opportunity to try out this product!

Gift Hero ~ Review

Do you ever find it difficult searching for a birthday present? No more worries! Gift Hero can help you with everything!

The site is so easy to use. You choose the age and if you would like it for a boy, girl or unisex. Then you choose a price range then you choose a gift!

.

If comes in this adorable reusable bag. My daughter is 3 and I was sent the Animal Boogie Book and Puzzle. It was a perfect choice for my daughter and have brought her hours of enjoyment!

.

Here is some information from their site:

.

As the mothers of 3 young children, we’ve attended more birthday parties than we can count. We’ve spent too much time staring at the overwhelming, yet unsatisfying selection of toys in our local stores and at big online retailers trying to find that perfect gift…a gift we felt good about giving and the birthday child (and her mom) would love. We felt there had to be a better, easier, more convenient way.

We started GIFT HERO to change the way parents buy gifts for birthday parties. We’ve found what we hope are the best toys for the age and gender of the child and the amount you want to spend. We (and our kids and their friends) have tested all of the toys we sell -- and we don’t offer anything we wouldn’t be thrilled for our own children to receive. We’ve created the Gift Finder to help you quickly find your gift. And, we’ve designed a fun and easy gift bag to “wrap” your gift and bring it to the party.

We also feel very strongly about giving back and creating opportunities to teach children the value and importance of charity. We want our children to realize how lucky they are and we also want every child to feel as fortunate as ours do. So, part of GIFT HERO is an opportunity to give back. We will work with children’s charities to provide gifts to children whose families can’t afford them.

Little Leggings 'n More by Lynn ~ Giveaway Closed

One lucky reader will win a pair of Leggings of your choice from Little Leggings 'n More by Lynn!

.

Here is some information from her web site:

.

I am the mother of a beautiful little girl, and someone who has always enjoyed sewing. When my daughter was born, it only seemed logical to begin making one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories for her!

After seeing a similar product in baby specialty stores and boutiques, I started making the leg warmers because I was astounded by the high cost of name brands on the market. I also decided to create the hooded towels and hair bows for the very same reason. Soon, other moms were wanting to buy the things that my daughter was wearing. I began selling items to local moms at craft shows, mom2mom sales, and by advertising on free web classified ads. My next step was to build this website so that more people can see what I've been busy creating!

My goal is to provide customers with practical and stylish items that are also affordable.

Not only does she make leggings but she also makes some adorable hair bows! She sent me several pairs are they are just darling! Best of all they stay in and they are affordable!

Kernel Season's Giveaway Closed

I was so excited to get to try Kernel Season's. We love popcorn in our family and to get to try all these flavors....yummy!

.

One of my favorite flavors is Ranch. It was so good on the popcorn. Then I read the back of the bottle and realized some other things I can do with the seasoning. I used Ranch on my chicken and potatoes! My other favorite flavor is Parmesan & Garlic and it was so good on the popcorn. It was also good on my pizza! We had so much fun taste testing and figuring out new ways to use the seasoning!

Here is some infomation on how they got started:

.

"Kernel Season's began in my college dorm room at the University of Michigan. I made popcorn every night and created my own personal spice blends to toss into it. Friends and fellow students loved it. People came knocking on the door asking for the special seasonings. I contacted a team of flavor experts with over 50 years of experience to help perfect the seasonings. We tweaked the flavors for over two years until they were just right.

.

In February, 1999, I found a note on my doorstep. It said, "Meet me in the Diag at midnight." The Diag is the center of campus at the University of Michigan. Hidden in the shadows of the Diag that wintry evening was Kernel Season's. He introduced himself valiantly as the champion of popcorn seasonings. At first, I thought he was going to pop me to shreds. But, Kernel Season's made it clear that he found a new partner in the quest to rid the world of naked popcorn. The rest is seasoning…"

.

Kernel Season's gave me a ton of seasonings and popcorn and I am going to share with one lucky reader!
