Got Woopra back on my computer! Now if only I could get one review done a week that would be SUPERFLY! I miss blogging so much. What I’m able to type is so spacey that I wish I had more time to spend on one subject in each post.
So for those that are looking for reviews from a mom with two boys ages 4 and almost 3 please don’t hesitate to email me, caleenna at gmail dot com. I am able to check email mostly on the weekends so send it Friday and you will get a response by late Monday night. Also from the time I receive the product or the time I receive confirmation of the review it will start the week of using the product, website or what have you. Then on that last day I will compile on my notes and type up the review, it will sit for a day so that I may come back to it and reread it before posting. I will also send you, the vendor, a link to the review so that you may do as you please with it. I will have this posted on the PR page of my site as well so it will be in on spot at all times.
This will be my policy from now and until I can afford to have internet at my own home. If you have any concerns or questions please email me at the above address.
In other news, my family has been sick the chills the aches you name it we are now starting to get over it but I just went to the doctor today and I have a slight case of bronchitis. Icky stuff I tell you. The boys though seem to be doing alright and I’m sure they won’t get worse.
Gotta go home and call the parents of the child that I babysit and let them know that I now have antibiotics to help me get better.
Enjoy you Monday Night.

I’ve been asked to review the Personalized Name Pillows Ebook from You Can Make This.com. Let just say it was easy to read just like it was easy to read the tie and apron Ebooks I was sent.
They look really neat, and if and when I ever have the money and time to buy the materials you better believe I’d make one each for my two boys. Of course I would let them pick out the fabric that want.
Connor would probably pick John Deere, Cars, Transformers, Spiderman, or something animals. James would probably pick John Deere or SpongeBob.
For your chance to own your very own Ebook, which I’ve been given the chance to giveaway to TWO READERS. Your main entry is to tell me how many you make and for who. Second entry would be to tell me what those pillows might l
ook like.
For EXTRA Entries you may do the following:
~ Follow my blog
~ Subscribe either in email or reader
~ Follow me on twitter.
~ Vote for A Daily Dose at the Social Luxe Lounge for Guilty Pleasure.
~ Then you may just comment on any other POST from the past as long as you come back to this one to tell me which one you’ve commented on.
This contest Ends June 22 at midnight EST!

Name Your Tune contacted me to do a review of their CD, which by the way is the cutest thing I’ve heard. I’m so glad they contacted me. I love the CD and so do my boys.
Having a
personalized CD with your kids name in every song is a great thing. They learn their name as well as the song. I had one CD made with both Connor and James’ names on the front of the disc as well as in the songs. Now the thing about this one is that every other song is either James’ name or Connor’s. You can get multiple CD’s with each of your child’s name or like I did on CD both names.
Now the first night I put the CD in my computer and played the Instrumental Lullaby and my boys were asleep within ten minutes they were both asleep. Although I did have to turn off the all the lights and the television. Here’s a little vlog about it. I know it’s dark but you’ll hear and see my boys along with my computer.

I’ve been given the chance to give one of my readers a chance to win their own CD. I know that you know you like to have personalized items for your children such as blankets, clothes, and room decor. For your
first entry is go to
Name Your Tune and come back here to tell me who you would have this personalized for.
First Entry Must Be Done for the Following Extras to count.
