dotmine not yours! #giveaway

5, March 2011 By

To say that I am the keeper of time in our house is a bit of an understatement.

Now, I’m not so OCD that I have my kids’ day completely planned out but there are things that have to be put on the calendar or frankly they just won’t get done. (I’m going to leave out the part about me forgetting to do them if they aren’t on the calendar.)

I utilize the calendar on my computer and sync it with my phone but really there are times when I need to write things down. I’m one of those people that writing things actually helps commit them to memory.

So anyway, I was sent a day planner from dotmine that incorporates so many cool features that I with they made dotmine for the computer!

dotmine day plannerI use my dotmine planner as the editorial calendar for Mad Hatter Mom. It makes it easy to see at a glance what I have upcoming. My favorite feature of the Family Time planner is the master schedule based on season which makes it easy to schedule in the various sports and activities the kids are in. Plus, I’ve scheduled in my work hours too, and I’m trying desperately to keep to them.

family time dot mineThere are three different types of dotmine planners. They have Family Time, Life Time and Time Mine. Each type has specific features so I totally recommend checking out the feature before you decide on a design. And actually they are all so darn cute that it won’t matter which one you pick.

Speaking of picking one. One winner will get to visit the dotmine site and pick a planner to call their own ‘cuz I’m not givin’ ya mine! :)

I’ll take “Locks” for $400 Alex

28, February 2011 By

Are you tired of those clunky old number locks? The ones that have you endlessly searching your mommy/daddy brain for the number that will magically open the lock and let you get your street clothes out of your locker at the gym? Was that 3 to the left or 33 to the right?

Are you are always setting the combination numbers to your children’s birthday and now you have run out of children?

Are you constantly having to go through multiple keys just to get the lock off your bike?

Which ever the case may be, the answer is Wordlock!

Wordlock is the brain child of Todd Basche, Engineer and CEO. Todd was led to this brilliant invention, much like all great minds are led to their discovery. Humiliation.

“I had a small swimming pool in the backyard with a fence and an old combination lock on the gate. That lock was my nemesis. It seemed the hotter it was outside, the less I could remember the combo. One Saturday, I’m so frustrated by this stupid lock I try to climb the fence. And I’m halfway over, and I’m sweating, and I slip, and my swim trunks snag, and I yell, and the neighbors are watching me like I’m crazy. That’s when I had the idea for Wordlock…right after I pulled my shorts up.”

For many of us, words are much easier to remember than a sequence of numbers or which key belongs to which lock. Wordlock allows the user to set the combination of their lock to a word of their choice. Even “Poop”.

 

 

:) I just love their commercial.

As you can see, Wordlock has padlocks, bike locks, luggage locks, even big ‘ol commercial grade locks! So no matter what you need to lock up, they have a lock that will fit your needs.

The padlocks retail for $9.99 and can be found at numerous retailers including Walmart, Target, and Sears. You can also purchase them directly from the Wordlock Store.

As luck would have it, I get to give away a padlock to one lucky lock deprived reader!

RULES FOR ENTRY (mandatory entry):
Leave a comment telling me which word you would set your lock to. (Up to 5 letters). Have fun! :)

No such thing as.. Bad Romance

25, February 2011 By 1 Comment

February is always known for that romantic holiday of Valentines Day.

For my husband and I, we actually don’t celebrate that day. We want our romance to be year round. We both strive to keep our marriage in that honeymoon period. Even though we aren’t always successful, being married for almost 10 years will do that, it’s still something we don’t ever want to forget.

Pure Romance creates products that help keep us in that honeymoon state of mind behind closed doors. I was sent an awesome gift box from Pure Romance and since it is used behind closed doors, I won’t be talking about all of the products I received, but I will talk about a few of our favorites. (At least mine.)

Since having children the need for a personal lubricant has increased for me. So, not only did my kids sap me of brain cells but they also sapped me of that! I’m also on the look out for a lubricant that doesn’t leave any sticky residue. I also lean toward the more nature water based ones, but even some of those feel sticky and that is not something you want to deal with afterward.

just like me pure romanceJust Like Me is named that for a reason. It is a pH balanced, water based lubricant that is made to feel just like you. It comes in both original and strawberry scented/flavored and retails for $16.50 for 4oz. I love the pump style container which makes taking care of business a bit easier and less messy. Plus, it is true to it’s work. There is no sticky residue, at not with the original scent/flavor.

Now my second favorite is the Mini Night of Passion box set which retails at $30.

What I love about it is it’s perfect to take on a rare over night excursion with your honey. Or even for a special evening at home after you put the kids to bed earlier. The set comes with 5 bottles of fun if you will. :)

Included in the set are 2 different lubricants (one warming), bubble bath/shower gel, arousal cream, and massage oil.

The warming lubricant creates a new sensation but I will warn you that it does leave that area feeling a bit sticky. But it’s just a good excuse to hop in the shower and use the shower gel. ;) The massage oil was awesome. After a particularly brutal workout at the gym, my muscles leg muscles were left extremely sore. My hubs offered a massage and used the oil. It didn’t leave me feeling super greasy. Instead my skin felt nice and soft.

So visit the Pure Romance and shop at their online store. Or find a local consultant and schedule a party for you and your girlfriends. There are even opportunities to become a consultant yourself.

Regardless, what you choose, strive to make romance more that just a yearly occurrence!
