"Should we call the Plumber?" Our Kitchen Sink is Leaking!!

Hello,

We have been fixing different things around the house lately. Redesigning the back room, planting flowers in our yard, putting pictures up in our bedrooms, etc. Another thing we were working on is the kitchen. A friend of ours came over to put some new counters in our kitchen sink (which looks really nice!). It was great until the sink started leaking. One of the pipes was not in right and it was leaking. We stuck a bucket under there to catch the water until we could get the parts. That meant we couldn't use it for water for cooking, dishes, etc. We do have a dishwasher but the water comes through the same pipes that were leaking. We were using a rubber bin to do the dishes in because we couldn't use the dishwasher. We were trying to decide whether to try and fix it ourselves or call in a plumber. We made the decision to try and fix it ourselves. Once we received the pieces that we needed (we thought!) my Dad and my brother started working on it and trying to fix it. It took a couple days because they had to swap out some pieces but they finally got it in and we tried running water through the sink. It worked! YAY!! So this time we didn't need to call a plumber in.

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was
compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

FUNDEX GAMES -- SNOOPY SNO-CONE MAKER REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!!

My little sister came running home one day after being over at a friends house and told me about a new Snoopy toy her friend had. She really liked it. I decided I needed to investigate!


The investigation was on! Fundex Games has soooo many different fun looking games. They have outside games, travel games, games for kids, games for adults, etc. They have some really fun looking ones.

Here is a little bit about how Fundex Games got started :
"Fundex Games, Ltd. is proud to be an industry leader in manufacturing and marketing innovative leisure time products for the entire family.

At Fundex Games, Where fun comes first
We listen, anticipate and act with a sense of urgency to the needs of our customers, colleagues and suppliers.

We are focused, efficient and disciplined as individuals and as a company.

We are an innovative, fun and caring organization."


Fundex Games sent me their Snoopy Sno-Cone Maker. This is really nice. My Dad really likes Snoopy (yes, I said my Dad:). He has books, t-shirts, a Chess Set, etc. My little sister also loves the Peanuts Gang. So when I saw the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine on their site I knew that was what I would be asking for. My little sister was really excited when she heard that they would be sending me this. She could hardly wait for it to get in! Here are some pictures...


(Still in the box!!)

(The Sno-Cone Machine. Doesn't it look nice!)

(Lucy and Charlie Brown!)

(Here is Snoopy!)

(We can't forget Woodstock! This is also where you put the Sno-Cone Flavoring.)

(There is a little shovel on the side that you can use to scoop the "sno" out of the machine.)

(Here is the back of the machine.

(Here is the Flavor-Aid mix that came with the machine.)

(Our first Sno-Cone using this machine.)

(The Grape flavored Sno-Cone)

(Here is my little sister with her Sno-Cone)


Here is a little bit about the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine : "For over 30 years, the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine has symbolized summer fun. First introduced in 1979, this nostalgic toy lets children create treats to help them beat the heat. Just place an ice cube in the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine, and watch it transform into a delicious dessert with a few turns of the handle. Kids can even flavor their creations with the included Flavor-Aid or with their favorite juice or soda."

We can't wait to try this out with soda! I have heard some people say that it is to hard for their kids to make themselves (turning the handle) but my little sister did it just fine! It was not to hard for her to do and she loved it. Anybody that is a fan of Snoopy or the Peanuts Gang would love to have this.

One US Winner will receive a Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine!!!

BLOGGY BIRTHEDY BASH EVENT!! -- Kidlandia Review



BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BASH EVENT AT PI OF PRODUCTS!!

Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!

...INTRODUCING KIDLANDIA!!

This is one REALLY neat company! I did a giveaway for them here (I was waiting for mine to come in).

Here is a little bit about Kidlandia :
"
About Us
The founder of Kidlandia, illustrator and entrepreneur Brian Backus, has been living in a fantasy world of maps and monsters since he was a very little boy.

Kidlandia grew out of Brian’s 2004 concept to create personalized maps of imaginary kingdoms for children’s rooms. He believed that by providing children their own kingdoms, with friendly monsters as companions, kids would gain an increased sense of confidence, control, and self-worth. In addition, by naming the cities, islands, and other features of the kingdoms after family and friends, kids would feel more connected to those who love them. Brian, who produced educational multimedia titles for Disney and Voyager, was also intrigued by the idea that by engaging kids in namesake kingdoms, he could motivate them to understand maps, and accelerate reading skills.

Although the maps cost up to $2,000 and were only sold by word of mouth, Brian could not keep up with demand. He received consistent feedback that the maps were among the favorite gifts of a lifetime. In response to this encouragement, he determined to make the maps more widely available, and at affordable prices. Kidlandia was born.

Today, Kidlandia is comprised of a team of talented engineers, designers, and business professionals. Kidlandian team members share a passion to bring delight and meaning to the lives of children and their families. 2.5% of Kidlandia’s founding stock has been set aside as the basis for a future charitable Foundation benefiting children."


Kidlandia gave me a gift certificate to get something off their site to review. I chose the Fine Art Print Whimsical USA Map. This is really nice. I knew when I ordered it that it would be nice but I did not know that it would be this nice! Here are some pictures...


(Our Map!)

I put names of our friends and each family member got to choose where they wanted their name and they got to choose an item to put beside their name.


(That is one of my brothers "places".)


(My Dad's and my Mom's. My Mom had fun choosing what she wanted to put their.
She chose about ten things to put on her mountain.)


(My sister's ranch:)

We had a lot of fun designing this together. It was also fun looking at the map after we received it and seeing who could find the most of our friends on the map. We love our new map and can't wait to get a frame and hang it up on the wall for all of our friends to see. We can also make it a game to see which of our friends can find themselves on the map. Kidlandia is a great company that anyone (even the adults in my family were excited!) would love to have something from.

Disclaimer : I received no monetary compensation for
this review and giveaway. I did receive product for

Patio Furniture



We have been re-doing our patio. We recently repainted it and we have been changing it around a little. We have matching white rockers and a couple of tables, we have been adding some bird feeders out there to attract them, etc. Sometimes when we take trips though the stuff gets all dirty. That's why I have been looking at some patio furniture covers. We have a fire pit and it gets so dirty! This
Deeco Green Vinyl Rain Covers for Square Fire Pits up to 34" with Elastic Bottom would be great for it.



Do you have a potting bench? I think they are so neat. It would look so pretty back by our bushes in our backyard. I found some really neat ones. This one is called a Rustic Natural Cedar Co. Garden Planter Bench.






We LOVE finding discount patio furniture. One thing we have always enjoyed is a porch swing. My Mom and Dad love sitting there on a swing together. I found one that I really like. It is called the International Caravan Mandalay Iron 4-ft Porch Swing.


Isn't it pretty?!? That is one thing that I would love to have one day. Have you found any good deals on patio furniture lately?

Office Chairs And Stools



My Mom has been having some back problems. Her back was hurting her sooo bad! It got so bad she couldn't even walk! We finally got all that taken care of and it is doing a lot better but still hurts if she does anything that aggravates it like bending over, when she goes to sit down if the chair is to low it starts hurting, etc. We have been looking around at different chairs.
This company we found has some great looking office chairs! This one chair I found my one sister would really like. She likes anything red! It is called the ItalModern Tobago Office Chair in Red. Here is a picture...



We have also been looking at ergonomic chairs. We think they would help my Mom's back. This one would help my Mom's back but she would also like it because it has a Cherry Finish Wood Base. She loves Cherry Wood. This one is called the Office Star Desk Office Chair with Cherry Finish Wood Base and Padded Arms.



They also have ergonomic stools that help keep your spine in line and gives you back support. This one is called the Boss Office Products Black Fabric Ergonomic Kneeling Stool.


What do you think? Is there a certain type of chair you think would help my Mom's back? Or is there a certain one you think is more comfortable? Leave a comment and let me know!

...INTRODUCING SANLORI!!


SanLori let me chose something off their site to review. I chose the Posh Princess Boxed Note Set.
Doesn't it look nice!?! Here is a little bit about SanLori :
"
Staying connected. That is a central theme of how SanLori began and what they value Sandra Marbaise (San) and Lorraine Maxwell (Lori), friends from their college years, began with the premise that they could build a creative, thriving business and also have an active family life. (Have their Tiramisu and eat it too!) Beginning with twenty eight designs and whole lot of enthusiasm they ventured down this new path and haven’t looked back. What could be better than knowing our “art from the heart” has been around to celebrate some of the happiest moments in life? So stay connected! Have a fiesta or a block party. Send a note of thanks or encouragement. Celebrate that “certain age” birthday! Just remember to enjoy each day and we will be sure to provide you with plenty of inspiration along the way. That is our passion. San & Lori ...
San and Lori"

Let me explain why I chose the Posh Princess Boxed Note Set. It is Pink and Brown. My Mom really likes things that are Pink and Brown. She thinks they look really nice together. And they do! Here are some pictures of the set...


(Look at that!)

They even personalized it and put her name on the cards! Really!



(Sorry about how blurry the picture is!)

I gave these to my Mom for Mother's Day. She LOVES them. She loves Pink and Brown together and her name is on all the cards!

CookiesKids.com Review and Giveaway!!

My little sister had been bugging me about this new shirt that one of her friends had. She kept talking about it and talking about it! I finally decided I needed to investigate!



CookiesKids.com sent me one of their Apple Bottoms “Sparkle Western” Shirts for my little sister. Here is a picture...

Doesn't it look nice!?! She LOVES it! Here is a little bit about CookiesKids.com and how they got started :

"About Cookie's

Our newly redesigned website offers the same terrific selection you’ll find in our stores: clothing from newborn to young adult sizes, shoes and accessories, school uniforms, baby products, and all the latest toys.

She really likes this shirt. She wears it with a Denim skirt, her Cowgirl Hat, Belt, Boots, etc. The only problem is the sizes run a little small so she won't be able to wear it for to long. She will be able to pass it unto a friend when it doesn't fit her anymore though.

(Trying them on!)

(Here is a good view of the breathable mesh.)

(Checking out how comfortable they really are! And they really are comfortable!)

These are really comfortable. The most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! And there is great cushioning. Every step you make you can feel it! These are really wonderful shoes.

What type of Headboard do you like?



I have a question. My Mom and Dad recently bought a new Headboard and it looks really nice. What type of Headboard do you have? Is there a certain one you like better than the others? I found a couple of really nice headboards. One of them that my older sisters would enjoy is the Fashion Bed Group Richmond Mahogany Wood Headboard.


My sisters are using bunkbeds and I know that they would love to upgrade to single beds. They also like Mahogany Wood and they prefer wood headboards. This one looks really nice!

What about a bed bookcase? Do you have one of those? My brothers would like having the Prepac Slant-Back Espresso Tall Queen/Double Bookcase Headboard.


One of my two brothers collects two things. The first one is Horses. He likes them and collects anything he can. Horse Books, figures, pictures, etc. The other one he has is Books (okay, maybe he just likes reading them:). He has more books than anybody else in our family and he reads ALOT! My other brother likes Airplanes/Helicopters, etc. so he collects alot of those. He actually wants to be a pilot one day. One of these would be perfect for them. It would give them extra space for their stuff.

Another question. What about Metal Headboards? I like the Hillsdale Burton Way Metal Headboard in Black Powder Coat Finish.


Doesn't this look nice?!? I like it! I think it is pretty. I like the wood borders and the metal grills featuring a lovely scrolled design.

So what do you think? Do you have a preference?
