CoverMate Food Covers - Review and Giveaway

So, I had a party. I think I mentioned that yesterday. A big party which meant a lot of food! Lucky for me, I was given the opportunity to review CoverMate Food Covers. This is the season for parties - graduations, showers, weddings, etc. That being said a lot of food is in/out of our fridges, not to mention the picnics, going camping and all the summer fun.

You want to be eco friendly?!?! (without using tupperware?!?!) Here is your chance. These handy, dandy covers are designed to fit over your existing bowls. For me, I prepped the salads and the baked beans the night before - thanks to CoverMate, I was able to store the prepped food in their serving dish! Less dishes to wash - awesome. I like plastic wrap - but feel nature naughty using it - use it once and toss. Not with CoverMate - these covers go thru the dishwasher! How awesome is that?!?! My bowls and serving dishes are not one size fits all - lucky for me - neither are the CoverMate Food Covers. They have this awesome elastic bands that fit around just about anything!





And if you need more information you can view this video:



How do you clean these CoverMate Covers you ask?!?! The answer I already told you once - but you run these thru the dishwasher. You just place the CoverMate Food Cover inside out on a plate, bowl, cup, etc. and run the dishwasher. If you messed up both sides just flip it around and rinse under the tap (that's what I did). Worked like a charm!!!

Make your next gathering easy or just make daily dinner cleanup a breeze!

Now here are some offers you can't refuse:

CoverMate Food Covers has a great deal for my readers. You can go to their website - the link provided - request a free sample all you have to pay is postage (which is $3.95 + you will receive a coupon for $1 off your next purchase). AWESOME DEAL!!!

Company Invaded....

What a wonderful, wonderful weekend! My baby finally got Baptized! WHEW! What a weight off my shoulders - at least he wasn't the oldest child there! In fact, he was one of the youngest. That being said we had a large party! I've always had a get together after the Baptisms of my other children - but never on this scale. We had THIRTY-TWO, yes THIRTY-TWO people at the house. I don't know what happened - I just kept inviting people. Most of them were family (I love having our families get together). I know I am lucky that my family and my hub's family not only get along but like to spend time together. Then I invited the neighbor's. Always good to make friends with the neighbors. Then I added my daughter's best friend and her mom and my son's best friend and his parents. It was a good crowd! So fun - lots of food and cake and good company!

I almost can't wait to do it all again.

L'Bri Review

Skin care - what an issue. I am really lucky. My whole life, I've been blessed with pretty good skin. As I have gotten older, I've really tried to be good to my skin. I've used what I thought were really good products. I couldn't really speak to whether or not those products were natural.

I'd like to thank Debbie for giving me the opportunity to sample her product, L'Bri.

Let me start with a little product information:

L'Bri is an all natural product line. The products are aloe vera-based. The products are manufactured here in the United States, Wisconsin in fact. I had a lovely conversation with Debbie on the phone and she told me that we could have an opportunity to tour the plant in Mukwonago, WI. (my in-laws live in WI -so I'm up that way at least once a year!). What a fun idea to see the manufacturing plant where they make the products I put on my face. Clinque has never offered to bring me to the plant :)

I tried the Cleanser, Freshner, and the Moisturizer. I have to say that in a few days my face felt amazing! My husband who never notices when I color my hair noticed I had changed products for my face. He noted that my face was softer! WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT?!?! I also was given a sample masque but haven't gotten there yet.

So go to Debbie's website and check out her L'Bri products. They are fantastic!

Febreze No Spill Wood Diffuser REVIEW

I was given the opportunity to review a Febreze No Spill Wood Diffuser. Have you seen these in the store?!?! One word - AWESOME!

I was careful about reed diffusers in my house. I have a little boy. A little boy and the reed diffuser are like oil and water, they just don't mix. Until now! I have a secret, no spill weapon. The Febreze No Spill Wood Diffuser uses Wood Wick technology.

The design is really pretty. Simple and elegant. I love it. The bottle itself doesn't have a big Febreze logo on it. The smell is so pretty. It isn't overpowering in my house and you can smell it everywhere.

The bottle has indeed been knocked over by a darn bouncy ball. I was really worried at first because it was on my husband's computer armoire. I went over to clean up and only had to stand the bottle back up. FABULOUS!

At Walmart, the Febreze No Spill Wood Diffuser comes in a variety of scents - Willow Blossom, Pomegranate Mango, Green Tea Citrus, Cranberry Pear and Honeysuckle Orchid. I got the Willow Blossom. LOVE IT!!!

The Febreze No Spill Wood Diffuser retails for around $14.99 at Wal-mart.









ModernMom Insiders were given this product to test by Febreze but this in no way influenced my opinion and there was no monetary compensation for my reviews.

I've had a death......

my iphone - well, I can't say for certain if it is dead, but the backlight isn't working making it impossible to deal with.

Then for some reason - it erased my calendar and my contacts. Sad sigh. I dont' write anything down it all goes into the iphone. I'm so sad. My poor husband also had an iphone death. So sad. It makes me want to cry.

I'm lost without it - it makes me sad.........

sniff - off to continue mourning.

Oh to be witty....

First of all welcome to my new friends and my old friends!

I've been bouncing around the blogsphere partying with UBP10. The party is continuing to rock on! I've met some wonderful bloggers. I've also read some hilarious blogs. I'm green with envy. I wish I could be witty. I'll even take snarky (haha! read that on a blog last night).

The queen vs The Babysitter

I promised I would expound upon this discovery. On Thursday night we had a 2 sitter split. I'll explain. We had the sweetest, southern girl come babysit. Her accent was just so cute I could have bottled it up and sold it. She was so sweet (granted she complemented everything from my makeup to my shoes - who doesn't love that?!?!). Anyways - she came to babysit the younger two. The older was with a different babysitter because he was going to a birthday party. The sitter taking our older boy I've known forever and trust her to drive the little man around.

Sooooo, apparently in my excitement to rush out the door for a date - I forgot to sign the check for our son's babysitter. Ooops! Well, she dropped him off when she did, she caught the princess in a moment. She was standing at the top of the stairs in her pull-up declaring in a loud-crying- pitching-fit sort of way that she was not going to change into her pj's. Meanwhile the baby apparently was voicing his dismay also (granted I think that I set the babysitter up for disaster as the baby didn't take a nap). I was shopping I needed a dress. LOL! Okay, back to the story. Well sweet babysitter asks the other babysitter if she has ever sat for our kids before (Thank the Lord she has). She set that hot mess straight in a hot second. She took princess and quickly showed her who was boss - got her in her pj's and put her in bed. She told sweet sitter to go and read her a story. While our usual sitter got the baby changed and in bed.

Of course I don't know any of this until later. I can never figure out why sitter's hot tail it out of my house. I know it isn't my oldest - most sitters are lucky if he gets one word out the entire time they have him. It is clear - the princess is acting like a princess. sigh ~ the baby is just a baby and I refuse to blame him for being cranky (since I am blaming myself).

Needless to say - we have another night out tonight - a wedding!!! Who doesn't love a good wedding!? This one will be so much fun! Not that all weddings aren't fun - but I love this Bride, I love the Groom. It will be full of friends - sigh. Good times. I can't wait.

Even better the sitter is my mom!!! YEA!! She is keeping my 3 angels with broken halos overnight - so sweet of her - THANKS MOM!!!!

Now - back to the party....
