Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill Smart Technology Pillows Giveaway & Review

All pillows are not made equal or even similar. I quickly missed the new pillow I was trying when my stay at the hospital with mom started. Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill with Smart Technology filled my pillow cases up and was wide enough for my head and shoulder tops to fit on. This pillow returns back to it's original shape and doesn't go flat or stiff. Then I headed to the hospital and met up with their kind of pillows. The barely pancake pillow and the rubber drench pillow, yes I named the pillows and they were horrible.


I got to come home for a while and reunite with the fluffy softness of the Dacron Memorelle pillow. It's a fiber filled pillow with characteristics of memory foam technology without the stiffness. The Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill featuring Smart Technology adjusts to movement to find a better sleeping position with memory foam like alternative that gentler on pressure points. The Memorelle feature home care washing and drying ability, which is a great feature.

Dacron has made it's name recognized with over 50 years of trusted fiber technology and their quality seal on bedding products. As a popular home furnishing brand, fiber quality can be spotted with tag lines that read "Trust What's Inside" & "It Just Feels Good."


I've found a good pillow can make sleep come when your not even tired. Just laying my head down to read with my son at bed time results in me falling fast asleep too, even if I'm not that tired and plan on getting back up to accomplish more. It does just feels good!!


Thanks to our sponsors Dacron one reader will win 2 Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill featuring Smart Technology Pillows their newest product this season. US winner.

ToiletTree Review & Giveaway

 If you've been around my blog for a while you may remember ToiletTree innovated bathroom products, the fog-less shower mirror, and the lighted version is now available! Well now they have a Bamboo 3 in 1 combo set for lotion dispenser, toothbrush holder, and soap dish. ToiletTree has a beautiful line of bamboo bathroom accessories and a new grooming line.

The Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit:
Made from 100% eco-friendly bamboo.
Modern, unique and functional style.
Perfect for any bathroom or kitchen counter top.
Measures 7.5in H x 6in L x 7.25in W.

I love that it can be taken apart so easy to add lotion and the sleek stainless steel look against bamboo. It is simple to clean the toothbrush & soap dish, just pull the metal away.

I know it’s for the bathroom, but here’s a thought just remove the top off the toothpaste slot or leave it on. Add pens and pencils there. In the lotion dispenser add GermX. Add staples, tacks, etc. under the metal on the soap spot. Could also add a magnet under the soap dish and use that space to hold paper clips and they stay in place. Organize your desktop a little.


The Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit is a nice item to freshen up your bathroom for spring and our sponsor ToiletTree has one for a US Winner.

Tidy Books Bookcase Giveaway & Review

We've been to the book fair at school selecting books to read. My sons love for us to read books together and our book collection is quite full. We have a small book stand full and my sons desk is full of books. They needed a book shelf that was easy for them to reach the books at their level with their favorite titles in it. Plus cool looking doesn't hurt at all. The Tidy Books Bookcase fits the needs of my little readers.

 I can tell you when it arrived I thought wow this is going to be to small and was wondering it some pieces were missing. After my workers arranged it I saw that the pieces fit together to make it bigger. We had the best builders on this project and seriously it was easy to assemble, the kids helped. Our favorite design is the Tidy Books Bookcase with natural wood finish and lowercase letters.

See below my boys arranging their Curious George flies a kite, Curious George an the puppies, Garfield Christmas, and the Twelve Dogs of Christmas in the Tidy Books Bookshelf. Just as soon as we got it together they couldn't wait. We are beyond satisfied with the appearance on the Tidy Books Bookcase, strength and quality.

The Tidy Books Bookshelf can hold a capacity of 85 book different shapes and sizes. It's compact design takes very little floor space and it can be attached securely to the wall.

Tidy Books offers these items below:

ForgetMeNot™

Duck Brand Products + Jack-o-Lantern Contest

I use Duck Tape all the time and even more now since I have little ones. There are more things to repair, more arts & crafts to do, school projects, and more cool Duck Products to use:) Have you seen the printed designs & team inspired Duck Tape? I was totally inspired at all the creative uses for Duct Tape at their website. Some people have such great talent creating with Duck Tape and I was blown away at the Prom Dresses made from Duck Tape. You must see!!

This year we've used Duck Brand Products & Duct Tape to hold together a Halloween Costume, on a school project, hanging kids art work, and we tried the Printed Duck^® Brand Duct Tape - Skulls refreshing an old bike. Totally my 4 year old son being creative and it turned really great making my 2 yr old smile big. Be sure to check back and see my oldest son's costume in a couple of days. We used Duck Brand Products for it:) visit it here Halloween 2011.

This time of the year we begin to prepare our homes inside and out for winter and Duck brand weatherization products are there to help. No one wants to be left with a busted pipe in the freezing weather, that is why I suggest Foam Pipe Insulation and Easy Slide Tight Faucet Cover both are easy to install and affordable. Pipe Insulation opens on one side and slides conveniently on to pipe and peel a way and seal insulation together.

Olee Kids Review & $50 Giveaway

I had this beautiful picture of my son, it the photo that is hard to capture. I actually got it by accident. My son was climbing through the tunnel at the playground. I was running to each side sticking my head in and saying peek a boo. I snapped some pics and this was one of them. I'd planned to have it printed to 8x10. While at Olee Kids, I saw that they do Snapshot wall graphic and can cut an image out of a picture. I thought well this one would be simple because I loved the background in my photo.

I was not sure if it could be enlarged as big as I'd like so I sent the original image & the way I would like it cropped to Olee Kids. They sent an proof image back and I could get it enlarged to 36" up to 54." The day came it was delivered and my husband open it and his mouth fell open:) We loved it! Olee Kids did a great job and I'm thrilled.

When I went to apply the Snapshot wall graphic I kept getting it crooked.  My mom was here helping and I'd ask if it was straight cause I was way up it the air. She said it looks great, I think she was talking about the picture or maybe she need her glasses cause it was one sided on the wall. I got my husband's level and marked the wall, finally got it up. It looks fantastic, everyone can see it when they walk into the living room in all directions. I can look up and see it at my desk:)

So the fact is you can move this wall graphic, because I had to while installing it twice. Olee Kids prices for a wall graphic begin at $39.99, a great value. Very easy to add an exceptionally large picture of your child and not have to worry of the cost of framing, because it applies directly to the wall and can be transferred.
