Summer in the South: Coco Bonbons Review & Giveaway

I love finding places that sell cute clothes for my kids! Right now I can still dress my boys the way I want, and I'm taking advantage of it. Pretty soon, they are going to be wanting to wear what all the 'cool' kids are wearing!

Coco Bonbons has the most adorable clothes for boys and girls! Sizes range from infant to child. Not only are the clothes super cute, but they are affordable as well!

For my review I received the boys' Lobster Print Swimsuit! It's made of 100% cotton and ties at the waist with mesh lining to keep it fitting comfortably. Since I've had it, there have been so many people saying how cute they are! My son loves the lobsters on them! He teases his little brother that the lobsters are going to get him! :) Boys will be boys!


I'm very pleased with Coco Bonbons! The shipping was really fast, and the quality of the product is wonderful! I would recommend them!


Check out the map for a location near you! Or, just order straight from the site! I'm sure once you start looking at the clothes, there WILL be something that you can't pass up!

His Name Was Bubba

His name was Bubba, he was from Mississippi..... And he needed a loan, so....... He walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an international redneck festival for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's private underground garage and parked it.

Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found that you are a Distinguished Alumni from Ole Miss University, a highly sophisticated investor and Multi-Millionaire with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweetwater, Texas. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The good 'ole boy replied, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?"

His name was BUBBA....

Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock Review

I have really enjoyed using this product! I have very fair skin. Not to mention the freckles! I know skin cancer is not too far in the future! Usually when buying sunscreen for my face, it's a pain. I have sensative skin and will break out in a rash depending on the sunscreen. I love this product because it's 70spf! That is a MUST for me! I've worn it quite a few times being out in the sun all day. Not once did I get burned on my face! Also, it didn't bother my skin at all! I also like that you can wear it under your makeup! It also has a nice smell. It didn't reak of sunscreen! I didn't find one thing to complain about! I will continue to use Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid Sunblock!

Summer in the South: SafetyTat Review & Giveaway

I am so pleased that I had the opportunity to review for SafetyTat! I think the idea of these is genius! What is a SafetyTat? Well, let's find out.


The idea for SafetyTat temporary child ID tattoos was born of necessity one weekend at an amusement park. On Labor Day Weekend, Baltimore Mom, Michele Welsh and her husband, there with their three small children, felt out-numbered. To stave her panic, she quickly wrote her mobile phone number on each of their arms with a ballpoint pen. As she did this, she thoughtfully explained to each of them the importance of staying close to Mommy and Daddy. She also told them that if they were separated that the number on their arm was a way to reconnect with them.
Throughout the day of fun, Michele had to rewrite the number several times as it smeared or washed off. Several parents in the park stopped her to ask if that was her number on the kids' arms. Each time, they loved the idea.
The day was a success and the idea for SafetyTat temporary child id tattoos was born.

Such a neat idea huh!? I used mine for that very same reason! Not long after receiving my SafetyTats, we went to Sea World. There was a big group of us. 7 adults and 5 kids to be exact. Well, that's a lot to keep up with at the big parks. I grabbed my SafetyTats and called all of the kids to me.

They LOVED the idea of getting a tattoo on them! I put one on each kid and told them that if they got lost to find someone who works there and show them their arm, that way they can call me and we'll come and get you. We got to the park and I felt a lot more at ease knowing that IF they did get lost, at least we had a little help. They played in the water and reapplied sunscreen, and the SafetyTats stayed in place!

I am extremely happy with this product! 

There are different ways you can get your SafetyTat. There's the original, the NEW TatBuilder, the quick stick write-on, the travel packs, and the Tat Kisses. Not only can you get the ones with your phone number on them, but you can also get ones for allergies, special needs, medical alerts, school info (for field trips and what not), tweens, and even in spanish!

I am totally in love with SafetyTats! I think I'm going to suggest it to my sons kindergarten teacher for when they go on field trips! I want to say thank you to the inventor of SafetyTats! You've made our mom world a little bit easier!


SafetyTat is also offering  my readers a special discount! 10% off any order of $15 or more! Just use the code LOACGW (case sensitive) at checkout! Good through 8/24/2010! Hurry!

                                                                                WIN IT                                                                        
Two (2) lucky reader will win a Quick Stick Write-On sample pack in their choice of boy, girl, or multi design!
