Spin-A-Win by Frigidaire

October of last year,  I was privileged to take part on this wonderful endeavor to help save the lives of kids just by simply pledging my time and spreading the word about it.
This year, Frigidaire and actress Jennifer Garner is continuing the program with a little twist, or should I say with a SPIN!? Yes, with Play Spin and Win, we’re all instant winners!
Just by taking a spin, we NOT only get the chance to win fun ways to spend more quality time with our kids but ALSO a chance …

ReliOn Temple Touch Thermometer Review & Giveaway

WE HAVE A WINNER! Random.org generated number 8 which is Natalie. Congratulations!
When I had my daughter, one of the things I made sure I always have around is a thermometer.  You won’t catch me without it!  To me, it’s the best tool in my first-aid kit. The first thing I use when I suspect that my little one is not feeling well or I’m not feeling well. And I’m sure most of us own the same ole’ regular digital thermometers with that pointy tip that is cumbersome to use since …

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Random.org generated number 2 : Vickie Bartlett – Congratulations!!!
Coconut Trees are the ultimate epitome of a Tropical Island living and these trees have been a part of my life growing up back in the Philippines. And though it has many uses, none can top the end product derived from its’ fruit, one of them being the coconut oil.

Swag Bag Booty Review

I was so disappointed when I didn’t get the chance to attend BlogHer ‘09 this year and missed NOT only meeting the wonderful friends from Mom Select  but also their bootylicious  Swag Suite Invite at the conference! Yet amidst my heartbreak, I thought it best to share it to mom friends online who would enjoy added treat at the conference than let this great opportunity sit in my inbox! So I did.
Fortunately for me, Mom Select graciously sent me a box of my very own swag after I told …

We’ve noticed that even though we’re getting people reading our reviews, we’re not getting any comments! Maricris noticed that someone needed to signup for an account before they could comment. This was done to make sure that a real human was commenting and not a spam-bot.
I’ve loosened up the restrictions on commenting. Now anyone can comment as long as they have a name and email. I do have the akismet plugin installed, so hopefully there’ll be minimal spam. I was thinking of adding support for IntenseDebate or disqus. What do …
