[Review] Lovable Labels: Address Labels

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention and this proved all too true for Laura Porreca, Owner and President of Lovable Labels. When Laura’s first child entered daycare, she was told to label all his belongings. This meant labeling everything from his outdoor clothing, to his indoor shoes, lunches, sippy cups and backpack. Laura recognized a need in the market for personalized labels that were tough and durable and could stand the test of time and the everyday use that children put them through. After researching and testing many different products and designs, Laura created a line of labels that include Regular and Slimline Stickers, Shoe Labels, Iron-ons and Bag Tags. They are not only bright, fun and colourful but also met the high standards that parents have come to expect. The Regular and Slimline labels are microwave and dishwasher safe, the Iron-on labels stay put in the washer and dryer, the Shoe Labels have an extra strength adhesive to ensure they won’t come off and the Bag Tags are made of a durable and flexible plastic. In 2003 Lovable Labels was born! Today, the company continues to grow and offer exciting opportunities for its team of sales agents. Laura also feels strongly about giving back and has incorporated fundraising into the Lovable Labels company. Schools, daycares and camps use our labels to raise funds for extra-curricular activities while providing a practical and useful product for parents and children.

These labels are nice, they stick very well and stay put and do not budge at all! There is like a million in their. To many for me to count or to see how many there are. I also got these inspiration labels are cute! I stuck them on my sticker wall in the garage. They haven’t peeled off at all, like the rest of the other stickers have, It does help that they have that like metal sticker feeling on them! This company by far has the best labels around, in my opinion. Plus they pricing is perfect for the wonderful quality they put into these things!

[Review] Kidorable: Stylish Kid Clothing for Girls

In 1997, Kidorable sprung from the minds, hearts and efficiency apartment of Liping and Jonathan Domsky. They proclaimed, “The world needs someone to create children’s apparel and accessories that are both functional and fun. We can do that.” And so Kidorable was conceived. Starting with lions and cats and bears, oh my, manifested as umbrellas and hangers, Kidorable generated enough sales during its first year to break even and plant fruitful Kidorable seeds throughout the land. The following year sales grew ten fold. Every year since, give or take, a new style and/or product line debuted. And every year, the world joyfully embraced more Kidorable delights, give or take, than the year before. Children, it turns out, absolutely and unconditionally love Kidorable (almost as much as their parents and other children-loving grown-ups do.) In its first three years, Kidorable grew from a hopeful startup to a thriving business with $2 million in sales. Ever since, Kidorable has continued to blossom, evolving into a flourishing global enterprise, contributing to the success of dozens of sales professionals and thousands of retailers, with sales projected to exceed $15 million by 2015. Throughout its first decade, the key to Kidorable’s success has been growth. But not growth simply in the financial sense. For the ultimate Kidorable customers – kids – it’s all about growing imaginations. For Kidorable’s employees, it’s all about nurturing personal and professional growth. And for everyone touched by Kidorable, it’s about growing smiles. For Kidorable, growing larger is a natural and happy consequence of growing better, individual by individual.Today Kidorable is a striking presence, not just in stores, but across the vast landscape of the children’s apparel and accessories industry. By encouraging personal and professional growth in the service of imagination and smiles, Kidorable’s own growth projections continue to soar. Find them on Facebook and Twitter!

Kidorable: Lady Bug Collection

I got this adorable set from kidorable! I was so stoked to get it! I couldn’t wait to open the front door, from the drop off. I use the umbrella which is perfect for weather in our 9 months a year of rain here, literary. I was suppose to do a photoshoot with this stuff, but my kids have been so sick with croup and haven’t had a moment of happiness in this house. Soon though and will link the picture in here as a update! The backpack is so perfect in every way. So darn cute, I love the feeling and the look of it, such great quality and care. The wings are so cute as pockets, how cute and cool is that, she will be stylen while walking down the street! The umbrella I use and sometimes my brother in law, which he uses to pick up chicks apparently, I hear its working. Its great for wind here to, got to love the mountain weather which I am not used to at all. It worse then country weather. Lots of wind, hail, and rain along with flickering lights, along which blue lighting and white flicker lighting. So this umbrella can handle our wind very well, without breaking or flipping to the other side. I just saw it happen the other day too. So I know you will enjoy these products as much as I do! So hurry over and grab something or all! They ship fast and have great customer service and wraps it up very well in the packaging!

[Review] Snack Taxi: Food movers for a Happy Planet

I invented SnackTAXIs way back in 2003 as a way to stem the tide of plastic ziplock bags that flowed from our house to the landfill when our 3 kids started school! We pack over 500 lunches every year, and had definitely fallen prey to the easy appeal of the ziplock bag. SnackTAXIs are easy too - really! They are made in our home-based workshop by talented (and fun!) local sewers - we are committed to keeping our business local, and will never outsource our labor. We hope you’ll enjoy using snackTAXIs as much as we enjoy making them! Find them on Facebook too!

These 2 are so adorable. I will be mixing the snack ones in the other one for the giveaway one! They are pretty neat, my husband enjoyed checking them out to! They have like a plastic in the inside so those mustard or mayo sandwiches don’t mess up those pretty sacks. The owl set is so adorable! I just love that night set! These are great for on the go and for school kids. Plus they can show them off to their friends. They are very well made, they wash perfectly and look the same when they came. The company shipped them to me so fast to wow, couldn’t believe how fast they came to me. They were shipped perfectly in the envelope even for that rainy day wow. The customer service is really awesome to. The folded part on these to keep it closed and fresh, is Velcro style, so its secured well for those kids who run to the bus or school. The snack ones are really nice. I throw my 3 year olds puffs in them for him in preschool. The teacher sure had a kick out of them! So stop by, grab a pair or one and spoil your sandwich to something pretty!

Perimenopause, Menopause & Women's Health Book

This book sure was interesting. We sure had a kick out of the names for these private parts. Good one for the mans one. I really don’t want to give it away. This book was very detailed and had everything you need to know. I sure will be pulling this book out in ten years or so when I get mine. Though this would of been helpful for me when my mom was going through it so I could understand why she was so crazy at times. She went through it at 35 pretty earlie I hear. Which means I might. Though I already feel like I am, cause I am fixed, so i basically already feel like menopause has happened to me. This book so far is pretty good. I like the girl party talk ones, experiences from different woman who experience is differently. Like on the 70′s Show when kitty went through it. Sure makes you moody. This book is good for woman who go through it or teens who have moms going through it, so they know why they are acting the way they are, and gives you a idea earlie on what to expect!
