Product Review: Photo Sharing Made Easy With Vizit Digital Frame by Isabella Products
4:21 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
Do you want to share the photos of those special moments in your life instantly with your loved ones, or see photos of what your family and friends are seeing and doing right at the exact moment it is happening displayed full size and framed? Then you’ll definitely want to take a look at the Vizit Digital frame by Isabella Products. The Vizit Digital frame allows users to instantly share photos from/with friends and family in real time that will become instantly framed in your Vizit Digital frame. How does the Vizit Digital frame work?
The cellular-connected Vizit Digital photo frame allows you to not only display your photos, but invited friends and family can instantly send photos to your digital frame as well. Photos can be shared via email, MMS, Internet sharing sites, or Vizit-to-Vizit. 
Each frame does require an annual or monthly plan to their secure online site that provides a place for you to store and organize images that display on your frame. Your photos will be stored and managed remotely from Vizit Me's online site (vizitme.com); and this also where you are able to control and invite which cell phone numbers and email addresses, and other Vizit frames have permission to send images to your photo frame.Right from your Vizit Digital frame, you'll be able to set your features and customize your slide show by using the touch screen directly on your Vizit frame. There is no programming of the Vizit frame, just simply plug it in and it's ready to start displaying your photos once some are sent. The easy to use touch screen also makes it easy to browse your pictures, send messages or thank you notes, and more. The frame comes in choices of both silver or black and can sit directly on a table or be wall mounted, whichever or wherever you choose.
My thoughts on the Vizit Digital frame:
This is photo sharing made uber easy and up to the minute with photos sent right to your Vizit digital photo frame. It is easier than manually uploading your photos from your cell phone, or photo sharing sites, etc. and overall is great for creating a social and photo sharing network between special family members and friends over a mobile network.
The Vizit digital frame is perfect for anyone who wants to share some of life’s moments instantly framed with their family and friends. I also think it would make a great gift for those older relatives who don’t use cell phones or computers. You could give the frame as a gift and manage their subscription for them, inviting friends and family who matter most to them. On their end, they simply will enjoy seeing photos of their most cherished loved ones arrive and framed directly to their Vizit frame. They can very easily interact with those who sent them right from the touch screen on the Vizit frame as well.

Clean & Freshen Your Home with Mr. Clean with Febreze
9:54 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
I love the feeling of walking into my freshly cleaned home, especially when it smells great. It seems more relaxing somehow, and it makes me feel confident that my home is clean, germ free with a pleasant ambience. It's important to me to keep my home clean and healthy for my family, and the Mr. Clean with Febreze products help me do just that.
When cleaning my home, I already liked to use Mr. Clean with Febreze products to tackle two jobs: to disinfect my home and to leave a fresh clean scent when finished. With two small children and several pets, very messy ones at that, it seems I am constantly cleaning something, so products that make my task easier are always welcome in my cleaning routine.
I was recently sent some of the newest cleaning products from Mr. Clean with Febreze to try out. I was impressed with these products and now have to say both have now become permanent staples in my cleaning supply lineup.
Here's the products I recently tried from Mr. Clean and my thoughts on them:
It’s nice to know that cleaning your bathroom isn’t just making it look nice, but you’re actually killing bacteria and avoiding the bleach smell of traditional cleaners. Mr. Clean® Disinfecting Bath Cleaner with Febreze® Freshness cleans 2X more soap scum per swipe while killing 99.9% of bacteria and helps eliminate odors with the freshness of Febreze.
Available sizes: 32 oz.
Available scents: Febreze Meadows & Rain®, Febreze Lavender Vanilla & Comfort®
Mr. Clean Disinfecting Bath Cleaner is effective against Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus (Staph), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other odor-causing bacteria, including Proteus mirabilis and Escherichia coli vs. the leading bleach all-purpose spray cleaner.
Buy it: For more information on these products and other Mr. Clean Products, click over to the Mr. Clean website. These items can be purchased at most retailers nationwide. You may want to request these money-saving coupons from Home Made Simple featuring a $3 off Mr. Clean Coupon.

This product is wonderful to use to Clean, Disinfect, and Freshen your bathroom. Not only does it leave a pleasant scent when finished cleaning, but it kills up to 99.9% of bacteria. You can use it on sink, toilet, and bath/shower. It's foaming action also worked great on soap scum and even the hard water buildup. It left everything looking shiny and clean and the room smelled fantastic!
The other product I was sent to try was the Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser Bath Scrubber with Febreze Scent:
The build-up of tough soap scum on your sink, shower and tub can quickly transform your bathroom from shiny and clean to dingy and grimy. Getting your various surfaces sparkling again, however, doesn’t mean hours of backbreaking work when you use the grime dissolving power of Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser® Bath Scrubber that cleans 3X more soap scum per swipe*. With an Eraser pad that’s 30% larger and more durable than the Magic Eraser Original combined with a built-in soap scum dissolving cleanser, the powerful micro-scrubbers in the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Bath Scrubber make tackling bathroom build-up as easy as ever.
Available sizes: 2 ct.
If you have hard water like I do, then you already know the amount of scrubbing it takes to eliminate those hard water stains and soap scum buildup from your tub, grout, shower doors, and more. With Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Bath Scrubber with Febreze Scent my cleaning time is cut in half because I don't need to scrub away these stains. Simply wet it, squeeze out excess water, then gently rub the scrubber on the surface you want to clean to remove tough dirt and soap scum. Not only does it remove the stains/dirt with a lot less scrubbing, but also left behind a pleasant scent of Febreze Meadows & Rain. My bathroom looked shiny and very clean.

Product Review: Apple & Eve Fruitables Juices
7:00 AM Posted by Centsible Mommy
Are your children picky eaters? Mine are. My boys seem to go through stages where they will no longer eat the foods they used to, or they will resist trying different foods. Getting them to eat their vegetables and other nutrientt rich foods is a daily struggle. And like all moms, protecting the health of my children is on the top of my list, so naturally I worry about my children having healthy eating habits and whether or not their nutritional needs are being met when they don't eat the foods they need.
Battling my kids to eat their veggies is no longer, as I have found a way to sneak veggies into my children's diets. Of course, I am still going to encourage them to eat actual veggies, but I feel a bit better knowing that some of their nutritional needs are now being met. How do I sneak veggies into their diets? We very recently tried Apple & Eve's Fruitables Fruit and Vegetable Juice Beverages and my boys love it.

We very recently tried Apple & Eve's Fruitables Fruit and Vegetable Juice Beverages and my boys love it.
What is Fruitables Fruit and Vegetable Juice Beverage?Fruitables are great way to help kids get their daily fruits and veggies; and because this juice tastes great and the veggies taste is undetectable, kids don't realize their "eating" their veggies. And at only 70 calories per box, you can feel good giving kids their fruits and veggies without all the added sugar and calories.
Fruitables come in juice boxes and family-size bottles in a variety of yummy flavors like Berry Berry and Tropical Orange and many more.
Visit the Apple & Eve Fruitables website for more information, a complete list of flavors or to find out where to purchase Apple & Eve products. You can also sign up for their newsletter for money saving coupons and more.

2010 Top Toys Guide: Part 2- TONKA TOUGHEST MIGHTY Dump Truck
9:53 AM Posted by Centsible Mommy
My little construction crew loads this dump truck up and makes their "deliveries" everywhere, even through the roughest of terrain: rocks, sand, dirt even an occasional mud puddle or two. With its giant wheels this truck is definitely made to handle it.
The handle releases allowing them to dump their load (rocks and dirt) and return to their "work site" for more. Indoors, they load it up with small toys, and head to their "delivery" destination as this authentic looking dump truck makes its way over makeshift mounds of blocks and more.
Overall, this toy is durable, cleans up easily, and is made to withstand the play of two kids through the harshest of play and conditions.
And although this toy is not new in 2010, I am still putting it in my 2010 Top Toys Guide, because my little construction crew love it so much. And as mom, I am impressed with the quality and durability. This toy is a great product and would make a great investment for entertaining your little "construction worker" for years to come.
More details: Award winner, Toy Tips Approved. Guaranteed to last a lifetime
Buy it: The retail price of the TONKA TOUGHEST MIGHTY Dump Truck is $29.99 and can be purchased at hasbrotoyshop.com or at most retailers nationwide including Walmart, KMart, Toys 'r' us and more.

Product Review: Sid the Science Kid Gotta Know Microphone
9:36 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
Who is Sid The Science Kid? If your children haven't yet discovered Sid and friends, Sid the Science Kid is an animated television series on PBS Kids, starring Sid, a funny and inquisitive 5-year old. Join Sid and his friends as they celebrate their excitement and curiosity about the world through discovery, activity and fun!
Sid the Science Kid Gotta Know Microphone
Your child will love exploring his or her world with an electronic microphone just like the Sid the Science Kid characters on the animated television series!
Fun push-button features let your child create applause noise after he's interviewed someone, laughter noise when she's told a joke and even play the Sid the Science Kid series theme song and silly sounds when they’re ready to sing! For extra fun, they can set it to “echo mode” and listen to their voice echo…echo…echo… everywhere they go! For ages 3+.
Our thoughts on the Sid the Science Kid Gotta Know Microphone:
This toy was a big hit for both my boys ages 5 and 2. My 5 year old loved mimicking Sid by conducting his very own interviews, with silly sounds, applause and more interjected, of course. My 2 year old loved the echo feature the most. He loved talking and singing into the microphone. Both my boys got a big kick out the silly sounds and music. With 4 different colored push buttons to choose from, kids can easily press a button to hear a different sound.
Buy it: Sid the Science Kid Gotta Know Microphone retails for $14.99 and can be purchased online at HasbroToyShop.com or wherever toys and games are sold including, Wal-Mart, Toys "R" Us, Target, and more.

{Closed}Giveaway: Education Outdoors: Camp Games & More
10:58 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
This giveaway is now closed. The winner randomly selected was #36 Angela Livingston. Congratulations, Angela!
Summer is synonymous with swimming, barbecuing, family get-togethers, and, of course, no summer vacation would seem complete without camping or some sort of excursion into nature. There is something so nostalgic about camping with the family; the smell of the fire, weenie roasts, making S’mores, and just the overall peace being in nature brings.
Whether it’s simply pitching a tent out in the back yard, or venturing off into the wilderness to set up camp, or just a day outdoors, you’ll want to be sure you have plenty of family-fun activities and games planned, especially for kids, who sometimes can get bored rather quickly.
This is where Education Outdoors comes in. Education Outdoors offers a variety of games and activities for family fun that focus on the outdoors and nature theme that are suited for the young and old alike.
I was recently sent 2 of Education Outdoors' wonderful games for my family to review: The S’mores Card Game and Camp Travel Edition board game. Both are really fun games.
S’MORES is a very fun and unique card game designed for up to 6 multi-level players. The object of the game is to build the perfect S'more (or at least an edible one-2 graham crackers, 1 marshmallow, and 1 chocolate) before your opponents. Players get a higher point value based on the quality of S’more ingredients (there is burnt marshmallows, broken crackers, and other not-so-perfect ingredients mixed in as well as bonus cards adding to the fun of the game by adding or reducing your point value). First player to collect all the ingredient cards and call out “S’more!” wins. My family and I LOVED the S’MORES Card game. This game is simple yet so much fun! And because it is so simple, even very young children can play. The recommend age is 6+ , but my 5 year old played easily. This game is even fun for rainy days at home or for Family Game Nights!
You can also trade cards with your opponents, "stealing" their main ingredients. My son got a big kick out of the cards that took points away like "you've dropped your marshmallow in the fire" and many other scenarios that added to the fun while trying to build the perfect s'more.
Watch the video to see how S'mores is played:
The Award winning CAMP Travel Edition is very compact and mobile, with a unique wood design. Up to 4 multi-level players, and has fun "setback" and "move forward" features. All new outdoor trivia cards, with vibrant full color images, includes content highlighting all 50 states. Game includes: 50 question cards, 4 game pieces, 4 level cards, decoder, and spinner.
My family and I liked this game. I especially like it because it compacts and is easy to bring along when traveling or camping. It is also great way to learn fun trivia and facts about our beautiful United States.
You can watch the video to see more about CAMP (Travel Edition):
Education Outdoors has many family games and activities with a nature/outdoors theme. To see more of their products or find out where to purchase these games, visit them online at educationoutdoors.net.

Holiday Gift Guide Part 2: Green Toys-Recycling Truck
2:24 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
Not only do I appreciate that this recycling truck is made from recycled materials, helping to alleviate our impact on our environment a bit, but I also love that all the toys from Green Toys are made form durable plastic (BPA and phthalate free, I might add), so they are tough enough to withstand the play from even the toughest of toddlers. I’m happy to say that the cookware set I reviewed last year is not only still a favorite in this household, but also has survived all that my 2 boys have unleashed on it.
The recycling truck is great because not only does it reinforce the message about the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling and teach the basics of doing so, but overall it is such a fun little truck.
You child can roll this recycling truck around collecting the bits and scraps of paper or trinkets (bottles, cans, and paper) that can be sorted into the different compartments and hauled off to be recycled. The movable recycling bed and open and shut doors add to the realism and fun of this truck.
Not only are Green Toys environmentally friendly, they are safe, and fun, too! Green Toys produces fun, classic, battery-free toys that will encourage hours of imaginative play.

Review & Giveaway: Kinder Glo Fun Safe Portable NightLights from Blue Moon Lites!
2:24 PM Posted by Centsible Mommy
I was recently sent a couple of Kinder Glo Nightlights from Blue Moon Lites to try out for my boys. Before their arrival, and going by the information from the website alone, I was unsure as to how this product was going to deliver. Expecting just another possible mediocre children’s gadget, I wondered if my boys would care a less about the Kinder Glo nightlights, or if they would cast them aside while they played with the box and bubble wrap as they have done so many times before when products have not delivered as promised. Boy was I wrong!!!! My sons (ages 5 and 2) love their new Kinder Glo nightlights and have used them everyday since they arrived!
Before I could even get the night lights out of the box, turned on, and onto their bases to start them charging, I had what seemed like a 100 little hands reaching and grabbing to see what these newly acquired items were. Right off the bat, the Tyrannosaurus and Brontosaurus designs appealed to both my boys…who were first convinced they were some sort of toy rather than a light. (Luckily, Kinder Glo Nightlights were designed with kids in mind because these lights are made of durable plastic, stay cool to the touch and are portable so that they can be played with like toys).
When I finally managed to take the lights away, turn them on, and set them on their base, the light show began and so did the ohhs and ahhs. My boys now fascinated by what they were seeing, were already talking about how they were going to take their new little dinosaur friends to bed with them.Thankfully, the lights were somewhat charged right out of the box because they could not wait to take them off their rechargeable bases and play with their now glowing and color changing dinosaurs. Kinder Glo nightlights make great daytime pals as well as comforting nighttime friends, and as most moms do, I love products that multi-function.
At bedtime, both my boys took their new nightlight friends to their beds, watching the soothing light show as they drifted off to sleep.
Some features of Kinder Glo Fun Safe Portable NightLights:
Fun- because they are made of soft and durable plastic and can be played with making great daytime pals
Safe-because they stay cool and never get hot and can be kept in your child’s bed during the night
Portable- because they are rechargeable and still light up even off the base
They also have different color settings (red, green, and blue or a multi-colored sequence) and 30 minute or all night time settings that can be easily changed with a push of a button to create a soothing nighttime pal.
What this Mommy liked:I like that this product is unique-until now I hadn't seen anything like it. I also like that that these lights are safe and stay cool. What I liked most of all was that my children were happy with them; and of course anything that makes my children happy makes this mommy happy!
What the boys liked:
They loved the dinosaur designs and that they could play with these lights and carry them around, making for a fun time! They also liked the color changing light show and that these could be used similarly like flashlights on their nighttime trek to the potty, etc.
What this mommy didn't like:
