SpermCheck Fertility Kit Giveaway

If you all follow my blog you know I have been trying to conceive our 3rd child now for almost 3 years now :( I have been taking fertility drugs, getting tests done and I have had 4 IUI‘s with nada. It is VERY discouraging to say the least and EXPENSIVE. I am beginning to accept I may never have another child again and it breaks my heart…and miss the ones so much I have lost :(

I am sooo very blessed for the two miracles I do have right now. Every day I love on them and kiss them, probably more than they would like ;)

At the beginning of my ttc journey, we did all sorts of testing, I was tested and of course my hubby was tested too. He was a bit embarrassed to do the Semen Analysis, what guy would not be, or at least be a little bit? I certainly wish that I had the SpermCheck Fertility Kit back then! Hubby would have felt more at ease, I am sure. Come to find out hubbys sperm are AWESOME little guys and he is all good, LOL. It is ME. Well, I think the fact that I have only one tube, is definitely NOT helping the situation :(

Now, I am not making any claims on this kit as I have not reviewed it, but I will tell you what their site says…

The SpermCheck Fertility Kit is an at-home test kit. Men can now test their sperm count in the comfort of their own home! SpermCheck Fertility is the only FDA approved, 98% accurate home test for men. Meaning it is as accurate as a lab test but more affordable and convenient and you can bypass the embarrassment too. In only 10 minutes the easy-to-read results will indicate a normal or below normal sperm count. Since experts do believe that a sperm count test should be the very first and essential step in fertility testing for couples, this kit really makes sense to use, before visiting your doctor’s office and spending money on this. This test is non-invasive and can help eliminate or identify a potential stumbling block to conception. And if you have been trying to conceive as long as I have, you want QUICK, easy and painless ways to help you to conceive  FASTER. I hate all the tests at the doctors I have to do, blah!

 

Why SpermCheck® Fertility?

  • SpermCheck® Fertility FDA approved 
  • SpermCheck® Fertility is as accurate as lab testing – 98% accurate
  • SpermCheck® Fertility is private and convenient – done in the privacy of your own home

General Mills Whole Grain Cereals Review & Giveaway

Are you getting enough whole grain in your diet? Chances are you are not. And, identifying whole grain products can certainly prove to be challenging, while out shopping. Sure you can look for nutritional cues on the front of the products, but you really need to read the back labels to see what is really in these products.

Below are some recommendations from Dr. Travis Stork, (emergency room physician and host of “The Doctors), to help you include whole grain easily into your diet:

  • Start Early! The Dietary Guidelines recommend people get at least 48 grams of whole grain in their daily diets. Get a jump-start on the day’s nutrition by incorporating whole grain into your morning routine. For instance, when choosing cereal make sure whole grain is listed as the first ingredient. One easy choice is cereal with the white check, which have more whole grain than any other single ingredient.
  • Make Simple Swaps. Choose whole grain versions of the foods you love. Great options include whole wheat pasta and whole wheat bread or even whole grain crackers. Also, try different types of whole grain. Use brown rice instead of white rice as a side dish at dinner or popcorn, which is a whole grain, for a snack.
  • Don’t Judge a Food by Its Cover. The front of food packages provide good nutritional cues, but don’t forget to read the ingredients and check the nutrition label and side labels for additional health information. Cereals with the white check even include the amount of whole grain per serving on packaging.

Me and my family are trying to be more healthy this year and are trying to add more whole grains to our days. General Mills has some delicious whole grain cereals to help us do just that!! Cheerios®, Lucky Charms®, Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, Honey Nut Cheerios® and Total® are the delicious cereals that can be found on your store shelves with the white check on it for more whole grain!

To help with choosing products with more whole grain, General Mills developed “Fast Lane for Whole Grain,” an online educational game. You can navigate virtual grocery store aisles and identify products that have whole grain as the first ingredient, with the option to enter a sweepstakes to win one of each of the 50 cereals with the white check.!! For more information about this, please visit the Whole Grain Nation Website.

Giveaway!

One person is going to win 5 boxes of General Mills cereal with the white check!!!

HearthSong Valentine Making Kit Review & Giveaway!

Can you believe that Valentines Day is going to be here in no time flat?! I am shocked at how quickly times flies, just shocked. Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays, not only because there is goodies involved, but because I love creating things with my kids and Valentines Day is all about making cards to give to your friends and loved ones!

Isn’t The Box Cute?

Me and my kids received the HearthSong Valentine Making Kit to review! We got started on it the next day and boy did we have some kind of fun and then some!!! This is a great little kit with everything inside to make adorable Valentines Day cards, envelopes and more!

The Kit Comes With:

• 30 sheets of 9″ x 12″ construction paper (15 red, 15 white)
• 24 white heart-shaped doilies
• 12 red heart doilies
• textured tissue paper (in red, white and pink)
• 32 full-color floral hearts
• pages of stickers
• Colorful glitter
• Glue stick

Plus I received lots of fun stickers and decorating chalks to make some real masterpieces and make we did!!! It was so much fun letting my kids go crazy with their imaginations! Each young cousin of my kids, got a gorgeously decorated Valentines Day Card! We are shipping them out soon as they all live far away from us. I think they will love them!!

 

The decorating chalks are super fun and I love that they come with two little applicators to use and that the chalk comes in a plastic case. So, when you are all done, simply snap the plastic case shut, and store it! Anything easier for me is good!! The only “messy” part of this kit was of course that glitter. So, I was in charge of the glitter :) But, I had so much fun with the glitter I ended up getting it on my floor anyways, LOL! So worth the fun though!!

This kit also comes with a how-to-make Valentines Book that shows you how to make Valentines and the envelopes, we did not use that book as you can see. The kids just used their imaginations!

iTouchless Odorless Touchless Trashcan (Review/Giveaway)

Don’t you hate it when your garbage is full and it REEKS? Or don’t you hate it when you have gross hands or your hands so full you can’t open the lid to your trashcan? Can be very frustrating!!

The iTouchless Odorless Touchless Trashcan is this mama’s newest BFF! Oh ya, I have it nestled in a corner of my kitchen and I’m liking this trashcan! The Odorless Touchless Trash Can DZT13 model is now equipped with a 3-dimensional Carbon Filter Gate (CFG) that uses activate carbon to effectively eliminate and neutralize tough odors. Now, you can’t really believe what a product claims, until you try it out. I was skeptical, so, the day I got this garbage can, I cooked salmon :) Where did the leftovers go? In the trashcan of course! Now, before you gasp in disgust, hear me out! The garbage bag was freshly put in, so the salmon was on the bottom :) Throughout the next day or two, other garbage went in, half eaten sandwiches, yogurt containers, Slim-Fast products and more. The day I was ready to haul the trash out, I had to sniff at the trashcan. With the lid closed, there was absolutely NO smell of the decaying salmon bites that were nestled comfortably at the bottom of this trashcan. So, it WORKS. Of course when you open the lid to the trashcan, that is a different story :) Oh and mamas with new babies, this is PERFECT for the nursery for those messy poopy diapers ;)

Another awesome feature of the iTouchless Odorless Touchless Trashcan is that you don’t have to touch it to open it!This garbage can comes equipped with the latest BEAM sensor technology, opening the lid automatically when you approach within 6 inches and closing it in 4 seconds after you walk away. This is sooo very helpful when I have dirty meat hands, grimy hands or hands full of things! I never have to touch this trashcan, unless I am emptying it of course!  This does need 4 D-sized batteries which are not included.

Since my whole kitchen is stainless steel appliances, this fits PERFECTLY in my kitchen. It is sleek and nice looking and I just love it. Check out the advantages:

*100% touch-free, odor-free and eliminates cross-contamination of germs
* Equipped with a 3D Carbon Filter Gate (CFG) deodorization system
*Provides an unscented deodorizer to neutralize the toughest odors up to 3 months before needing replacement
*Extra-wide opening (11.75 inches is the largest diagonal opening size in compared with all sensor activated trash cans on the market)
* Fits in larger debris such as full size pizza box and 2 gallon milk bottle
* Water-resistant sensor eye guard to resist liquid and stain
* Advanced SealTM (AS) Lid Technology:
-Sealed away lid hinges for better performance and easier cleaning.
-Longer lasting and quieter lid operation
* Air-escape holes at base for effortless trash bag removal
*Optional AC adaptor powered (AC adaptor purchases separately)

Lots of great features!

Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow Review & Giveaway

I have reviewed for Balboa Baby before and was very pleased when they asked me to review for them again. I love their products and feel they are truly quality made and perfect for any mama and little baby!

I received the Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow in the adorable Lola Pattern! Oh my, the patterns that you have to choose from are so pretty, I had a hard time, but am so happy with the pattern I chose! I love it!

The pillow arrived so quickly! The nursing pillow is so comfy feeling and I love the form of it. It is different from the other nursing pillows I have tried (the Boppy). It fits right in front of you and supports so well. It is soft and cushy and very comfortable around my rib cage. This pillow is the best nursing pillow I have tried as it feels very supportive. I love the little “dip” in the middle part of it, to cradle baby while they nurse, so sweet! Oh how I cannot wait until I have a newborn baby again…. please God, can it be soon?? :(

This pillow is simple, fashionable and the only contoured nursing pillow for mom and baby’s comfort. This pillow was developed with lactation consultants and medical professionals. The Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow makes nursing easier and way more comfortable. I don’t know about you, but when I nursed, for the first 3 weeks it was EXCRUCIATING. It hurt soooo badly, but I stuck with it and am so happy that I did. A pillow like this, would have maybe eased the stress on my back and I would have been more comfortable, so I can’t wait to use this when I have a baby again. Just better be soon, I am almost fed up with my body..

This nurse pillows supports baby and brings baby up to a comfortable level so that nursing will be more comfortable. It is at the proper level for a more relaxed feeding time. This nursing pillow also has that unique contoured design that encourages correct feeding position by naturally rolling your baby towards you. This nursing pillow also features a 100% cotton cover for easy cleaning, it comes off with the zip of a zipper, so easy to take off and clean. The pillow cover comes in really cute and fashionable prints to coordinate with your nursery!

This is a great nursing pillow and I can’t wait to actually use it on a newborn baby, preferably my own!
