Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon, has died at 82 years old. NBC News broke the story today. Neil was recovering from a heart-bypass surgery he had had a couple of weeks ago. Such sad news. Our prayers go out to his family.
$0.49 Pink Socks at Gymboree!
August 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I don’t know about you but I am a HUGE fan of Gymboree! They have adorable kids clothes and I love that they have whole matching outfits {including hair bows!} put together for me. Another reason I love them is their awesome clearance sections. Just about on any given day you can go to their website and find a great deal. Today however, I found a tremendous deal!!!
Right now, you can get a pair of these adorable pink socks for only $0.49! These are regularly $4.25. They still have sizes 0-6, 6-12, 12-24, & 2T-3T available. I just bought 5 in each size to use for my little girl and to donate. These would also make a great addition to a baby shower gift.
As always when shopping online, I checked our Coupon Code Database but there wasn’t a Gymboree coupon to be found. {They did however, have BabyGap coupons and JCPenney coupons.} There are other great deals to be had at Gymboree too! If you plan to buy something else at Gymboree anyway, add a pair or a few pair of these socks to your order and make some little girl happy.

Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand Wipes for Back to School
August 22, 2012 by 9 Comments
Since I was first pregnant I’ve been kind of a germaphobe. I wanted to avoid germs to avoid being sick because I knew I couldn’t take strong antibiotics to fight it. That plan has worked well for me. I haven’t been sick in over two years and my little one is over a year now and hasn’t been sick. I’m not completely crazy and my house isn’t close to immaculate or germ-free. I know that some germs are good for you but I’m sure we get plenty of those anyway.
Since having a little one who is into everything I’ve became a little more cautious. I’m constantly wiping down her hands and washing things she touches. For the longest time I wished that there was something that I could take with me to kill germs when I’m out and about. Lysol spray is obnoxious and not exactly ideal for travel. Clorox wipes aren’t convenient in their giant tub. I wished for wipes that I could fit in my purse, car, and diaper bag and I finally have them! I’m seriously elated. Wet Ones antibacterial hand wipes are amazing! I can wipe down tables at the restaurant instead of trying to discreetly slather hand sanitizer. These will be perfect to carry with me to wipe dirty hands when washing isn’t an option.
Not only do they come in a container similar to the travel diaper wipes but they also have individual wipes packages! These Wet Ones single packs would be perfect to keep in a jacket pocket, in the glove compartment, or even to slip in a lunch box. Come to think of it, these are perfect for back to school! I bet any teacher would be glad to receive a package of these to start the school year.
“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Wet Ones. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

15 Beauty Uses for Vaseline
August 22, 2012 by 11 Comments
Vaseline is a wonderful product, wouldn’t you agree? It’s probably the most inexpensive and versatile products out there. Right up there with the many uses of baking soda! You might be surprised of all of the things Vaseline can do. Here’s a list of my favorite 15 uses for Vaseline.
1. It softens dry and cracked elbows.
2. Rub a little over your perfume places {behind the ear, neck, wrist, etc.} to keep your scent lasting longer.
3. Massage it into your cuticles every night before bed to keep your cuticles soft.
4. For kissably soft lips add a little Vaseline over your favorite lipstick. You can also mix Vaseline with a drink mix, such as Kool-Aid powder, to make a colored and flavored lip gloss.
5. To avoid spray on tan streaks or dark spots rub Vaseline all over your knees, ankles and hands {any dry spot} to achieve a beautiful no-bake tan.
6. To prevent lipstick smudges just spread a little Vaseline over your teeth and lipstick smudges won’t be a problem! As a side effect, you’ll also smile a lot more. : ) This is a tip used by beauty pageants contestants and cheerleaders.
7. To tame wild eyebrows, add a little to Vaseline your brows with a clean mascara wand or a clean toothbrush.
8. If you have a bottle that is always difficult to open make it a easier next time by rubbing a little Vaseline along the edges of the bottle under the cap. This is fantastic on nail polish bottles!
9. In need of a quick shoe shine? Swipe a little Vaseline over on your shoes and buff gently for a beautiful shine!
10. Vaseline is wonderful for soothing and smoothing skin after shaving.
11. After you carve your Halloween pumpkin, rub Vaseline on the exposed edges to keep your pumpkin from going dry and rotting. {You can see the results of this put to the test in our how to keep a pumpkin from rotting post. Maybe add it on after the #1 tip?}
12. If you have very sensitive skin, Vaseline will make a perfect make up remover for you. Plus, you’ll have super soft skin the next day!
13. Mix sea salt {or sugar}, Vaseline and a drop or too of your favorite essential oil for an incredible exfoliating scrub.
14. If you have dry hair with split ends add the tiniest amount to the ends of your hair to cover them up until your next haircut.
15. Last but not least… Apply some under your eye shadow for a dramatic glossy effect.
What are some of your favorite uses for Vaseline?
