Just a note

I just wanted to take a minute to pop in and talk to you guys for a minute. My mom will be getting here tomorrow from Texas and she will be here for a week, so I won't be blogging that much. Anyway, to my point, I wanted to talk to you guys about giveaway entries.

There are some people, even though I state that you need to leave your email address in at least the first entry, that are not leaving their email address at all. I'm a pretty laid back person and usually, I will just go to that person's profile and get their email from there. Well, not anymore. I'm not trying to be mean, there is just a lot to do in one day and I don't want to have to search for an email. It'll take you all of 2 seconds to add it to your main entry!

If you enter without leaving an email address, I won't delete the entries, but if you are randomly selected as the winner, I will choose a different winner. Please pay attention to what you are doing! I hate to pass on a winner for something so dumb as not putting an email address!

One more small note about entering. When I saw in my entries, Subscribe via email, that's what I mean. Not in a reader, EMAIL. I DO check subscriptions and I'm getting tired of people saying they are subscribing and they actually aren't. I've been emailing people back telling them that they need to verify their subscription in order for the entry to count, but that is done too. You don't subscribe completely, you don't get the extras. It's only fair to those people who actually do!

All I'm asking is to read the post you are entering all and make sure you follow the direction. It's not very hard considering that I use the same entry part in EVERY giveaway! For those of you who have been entering correctly, thank you! I hope everyone has a good day and a wonderful weekend!

Name Frame Review & Giveaway

I love personalized items! I don't really care what it is, but if it can be personalized, I want it! That is why I was so happy to run across Name Frame!

At name frame, everything about the item you are purchasing is custom! You pick the name, the font, the color frame, the color matting, you can even add ornaments to the matting! Behind whatever text you want, are the pictures you choose to put in!

I received a code to make my own Name Frame for review. The process was so easy! I put all the pictures in I wanted and was able to position them exactly where I wanted them! It was so much easier than just getting the frame with the name and putting the pictures in myself. That is a lot harder! Cutting the pictures and trying to make them stay where you want them while trying to put the frame back together!

With Name Frame, it's all done on the site with a few clicks of a mouse! Once it arrives to you, you can hang it right up, or give it as a gift!

I made my Name Frame for my sister-in-law. She is like me and loves personalized items! So, when I gave it to her, she was overwhelmed with joy! I don't think I have seen someone so happy about a gift! She kept saying thank you over and over again!

The Name Frame is perfect for a nursery, child's room, or even getting the family last name with family pictures in it! The possibilities are endless! Name Frames are $59.99 and they ship to the US and Canada! Lucky for my lovely readers, Name Frame is offering you guys a 15% discount! Just use the code LCGW11 in the "How did you hear about us" field! That is a great deal!

me4kidz Review

Having two little boys ages 4 and 5 means that there are a lot of "boo boo's"! My boys are always getting into stuff and hurting themselves! Luckily I ran across a company called me4kidz!

me4kidz sells first aide kits for parents who have accident prone kids like I do! I am constantly looking around the house looking for band aids and ointment for the latest scrape and cut. The worst is when we are away from home and there is nothing in my purse for a "boo boo"!

I was sent a medibuddy for review!

The medibuddy is perfect to put in your purse, car, stroller and backpack for those little emergencies! I have mine in my car. I can't count the number of times we have been somewhere and one of my boys have hurt themselves. Blood ends up everywhere and I have to rush home to fix them up! Not fun at all!

Now I can be out and about and not worry if we have an accident. I will have them taken care of in no time! The kit comes with 40 items! 1 knee and elbow bandage, 15 kid-friendly bandages, 1 sting relief pad, 4 2"x2" gauze pads, 3 antiseptic wipes, 1 burn relief cream, 2 antibiotic ointment, 12 kid-friendly fun stickers, and 1 carry case!

That is everything you need to take care of your little one! The stickers are a great idea! It's amazing how a sticker can make a child magically feel so much better! With my medibuddy, I now have the piece of mind that my boys will be happy and safe!

me4kidz also has two other products. The medibag which is a full first aide kit with LOTS of items. It also includes a coupon for a refill kit! They also have the diaper bag buddy which is perfect for your precious little baby!

With a price of $12.95 and $4.95, these kits are a great value! Click HERE to find a location near you to pick one up, or order online!

191 Unlimited Review & Giveaway

My husband had no style what-so-ever! When he tries to dress up, I give him a sideways look and ask him as nicely as possible if he is really wearing that. That is most guys though! Most don't really care what they look like! Especially if they are married!

191 Unlimited is here to help them! They sell trendy clothes to get your man (or self) the style they need! With everything from jackets to striped shirts to bottoms, he will be looking good in no time!

For review I received two shirts. They are both so nice! I was thrilled to open the box and find stylish button down shirts! My husband has one button down shirt that doesn't even fit him! He likes to wear button downs, but won't go shopping for them!

Wifey to the rescue! I gave him the shirts and his eyes lit up a little! Good sign! But, the real task was getting him to put them on and like them!

Ok, so it wasn't a task after all! He tried them both on and loves them both! And boy does he look good in them! The fit is absolutely perfect! I have never been so happy to see him in new clothes! My mom will be here this weekend and we always go to a restaurant every time she comes. He is anxiously awaiting that dinner so that he can show off one of his new shirts!

The quality of the shirts is marvelous! The colors are great! Very subtle for a guy. And the material is nice against the skin. Overall, my husband and I are both very happy with the shirts and the company! Looks like I'm going to be doing some more shopping for him at 191 Unlimited!
