Hello! SkinnyJeans Review & Giveaway

by
Hello! SkinnyJeans!  I’m not certain but I would guess you are supposed to say it like Hell-oooooo skinny jeans!! It is like a celebratory hello.  Think about the way you would say it to a good friend when you have always liked the way skinny jeans look on skinny girls but now you have them on and they actually look good on you.  Hellooo!!

I was pretty thrilled to get my hands on a pair of hello! Skinny Jeans!  I am, how should I put it…curvy… and I usually like to wear flared bottom jeans to offset the size of my hips and thighs.  I have had a love/hate relationship with skinny jeans in the past.  I love the way they look on someone so I try to find a pair that look good on me only to hate every. single. pair. that I try on.  They usually don’t flatter my figure at all.

My days of longing are over! I was sent the GreenJeans CoutureCut of Skinny Jeans to try.  When I first put on hello! Skinny Jeans I held my breath.  Not because I was trying to squeeze them on but because I was really hoping that these skinny jeans would actually look good on me.  Voila!  They are like magic, or as the description of them says “literally photoshops the body.”  These jeans lift and shape in all the right places while still being comfortable.  The thighs are very ‘scooped out’ separating and slimming the thighs. The Inseams are drawn forward, tricking the eye into seeing less on the front of the leg which is just brilliant! The jeans also have light and dark shading to make legs look thinner and longer. Did I mention that they are comfortable?  They suck you in in all the right spots but I wore them all day long and they felt great on.  So… skinny jeans that look great and are super comfy? I think that is a winning combination!
 
Yep, those are my legs in hello! SkinnyJeans.   
Check out all of these before and after SkinnyJeans photos here.  I think you’ll be impressed!  SkinnyJeans also come in up to size 18 and they have inseams up to 37″!  They are showing some serious love to those of us who couldn’t normally wear skinny jeans!  
So, after all of that, you would like a pair right?  To purchase a pair visit their shop here.  The jeans start at $149 and up.

The Learning Tower {and a Giveaway Worth $199!!}

by

I am just going to start off this review by saying I am pretty sure you want one!  I know I wanted one and now that I have one I don’t know how I EVER got along without it!

 

The Learning Tower entered our lives just a couple weeks ago.  I couldn’t wait to get it put together and start using it.  It is a good thing it only took me about 20 minutes to assemble because I had 4 of my children practically crawling over me in anticipation of using it.

We have had SO much fun over the past week snacking together, making food and just hanging out at the same level because of The Learning Tower. My 2 year old is thrilled with her new found freedom once she climbs up and happily stands on The Learning Tower while the rest of us are making breakfast or dinner.  My 5 year old and 7 year old have had fun raising and lowering the height of it so that they can join in the fun too.

Just in case you have never heard of the Learning Tower I will fill you in on all of it’s benefits.  I will warn you though, like I said before, you will want one once you know all that it does!  The Learning Tower is, well… a tower. It sits up next to your counter tops and allows little ones to stand safely near you while you work.

 Have you ever had a child pull up a chair to “help” you make cookies?  I don’t think I have ever made it through a chair-at-the-counters experience without someone falling off and bruising some part of their anatomy.  With The Learning Tower those days are over.  You can adjust the floor of the tower to different heights as your child grows (or if you are like me and you have a few different ages of kids). Children 18 months and up can use The Learning Tower. The floor is wide (15″ x 18″) and can hold up to 500 pounds.  The best part is the 4 sided railing though.  It keeps the kids safely in their space.

Would you believe that there is more that this amazing thing can do?  My kids were so excited about getting a spot at the counter that they could hardly stand it when I told them that they could also use The Learning Tower for puppet shows! You can actually buy a kit that includes an easily attachable roof, red curtains, and four different theme signs to create a puppet theater, doll house, drive-thru, or lemonade stand!  My kids also made a fort out of it and played there for over an hour.

 
And if that doesn’t make this tower multipurpose enough for you then you’ll love to know that you can also get an art easel to attach to it.
Sounds amazing doesn’t it?!  I really do think that The Learning Tower is an amazing and helpful invention for families.  Kitchens (and bathroom sinks too) have long been in need of a safe and sturdy stool for children to be able to wash their hands, help out and be a part of what the rest of the family is doing.  We will use ours for years to come. 
The Learning Tower is made by little Partners.  If you would like to know more about the ages and stages for The Learning Tower here is great info and videos that go along with each stage.
If you would like to purchase The Learning Tower you can do so here. Shipping is free over $99.
The wonderful folks at The Learning Tower are offering my readers a chance to win one in the color of their choice!

PakNak: Brilliant Little 3D Decorations Review & Giveaway

by

So, the school year is almost over and your daughter wants a new backpack because hers doesn’t have her new favorite animal on it.  Or your son has recently developed a new love for Robots but you don’t want to go get a new lunch box and backpack just because he’s not into dinosaurs anymore.  Enter PakNaks.  These genius little 3D soft rubbery designs that you can attach to backpacks, lunchboxes, headbands, lamps, notebooks, and anything else you can think of to decorate.  They come with velcro to stick on an item and the best part is that you can take one design off the velcro and stick another one on when you feel like changing them.

We received 2 PakNaks to review.  I knew they were cute from seeing them on PakNak.com but they are even more adorable in person. We were sent Robert the Robot and Clair the Cat. My kids actually fought over who would get to use them.  Even my tweens wanted to use them.  Once I assured them that we would get more they calmed down (whew!).

We chose to use them on a backpack and a lunch box.  They are so easy to put on and are instant decorations.  PakNak.com has a wide variety of designs such as a dinosaur, ladybug, butterfly, football, monkey, turtle, and many others too.  They are all so cute you will want to get several!  No more trying to pick a design your kids will want to use all year. Just pull the design off the velcro and place another one on.  They are so easy to put on just about any item you can think of wanting to add some flair to.

PakNaks would make such great gifts for Easter baskets, to tuck in a “just because I love you!” note sent to school, for birthday party favors, or stocking stuffers too!!

If you would like to purchase any of the great PakNak designs you can get 20% off.  Just visit their website and enter PAK20 at checkout.  Don’t miss their free printable coloring pages (as cute as can be)!

Want a chance to WIN 3 PakNak designs of your choosing? Then follow the instructions below to enter. Be sure to leave me a way to contact you should you win.

Mandatory to Enter:
Visit Paknak.com and come back and leave me a comment about which design you like the best (it may be hard to choose just one!)
