momgaret says "Finally!" about Bali Live It Up Underwire Bra 3353

momgaret — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:17:24 GMT

I wear a DDD bra, so it is very hard to find a comfy bra that gives support and fits well. I went to JCPenny and tried on every bra I could find in my size (a whopping 5) and I was about to give up when I found the Bali Live it Up bra.

It was very pretty with the flower petals on the side, which are actually side support! The straps are wide and comfortable, and it came in a few nice colors, and it came in my size!

I bought 2, and have had them for a few months now, and I still love them as much as the day I bought them! Without a doubt I'd recommend these bras, especially to the full figured women.

They come in many sizes, including DDD and they are pretty, which is hard to find in bigger sizes at an affordable price.

momgaret says "Magic in a can!" about Enfamil Nutramigen Baby Formula

momgaret — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:21:21 GMT

I tried breastfeeding my daughter for weeks, but she never was able to keep the milk down.

I am lactose intolerant, so my doctor said to try a soy formula. I tried that, but then she wasn't pooping.

I went through every formula you can think of, then my friend told me about Nutramigen.

I talked to my doctor, and she said it was a last resort formula because it smelled horrible, is expensive and you can't run to a small corner store to get more if you run out. It is a hypoallergenic easy to digest formula.

I tried it, and my baby girl finally could eat, keep it down and have no issues! This made her so happy and me too! It is expensive, but it was a lifesaver!

If nothing else works, I recommend you try Nutramigen!

momgaret says "Better than a house full of scented candles!" about Lampe Berger

momgaret — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:25:36 GMT

I am a candle freak! I used to have candles everywhere, then after I had my daughter I started getting nervous about the open flames all over the house.
I thought a diffuser was the answer, but my boyfriend's son told me about Lampe Berger (pronounced lamp bershae). His mother sells them, so he was practically an expert!
This Christmas he got one for me, and I couldn't believe how amazing it was! It is sort of like a diffuser with a rope in the oil instead of sticks. You let the rope sit in the oil for about 20 minutes, light the top stone for 2 minutes, blow it out and your whole house will smell amazing! It also has a cap to prevent you from touching the hot stone!
It scents a space of up to 300 square feet! It also cleans the air, it says research proved that it will clean the air of 85% of bacteria for up to 80 hours after you light it!
This is a no brainer, if you like a nice smelling house with cleaner air, the Lampe Berger is perfect! I love mine!

momgaret says "Best slippers I've found!" about Acorn - Women's Boa Bootie in Mushroom

momgaret — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:39:18 GMT

I am extremely picky about slippers, so I chose these slippers for my christmas present. I have gone through so many slippers, and these Acorn Boa Booties are easily the best slippers I have ever had!

They are SO comfy! It just feels like you are wearing socks! You can even change your pants without taking them off!

The sole is so nicely padded, and is rubber, so walking out to get the mail won't ruin them! Oh, and talk about warm!

Most of my slippers were ok, but never too warm, I always needed socks, but not with these.

The outside is fluffy, soft and cute. Without a doubt, I would recommend these to everyone!!...

momgaret says "Great & affordable!" about Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Digital Coffeemaker

momgaret — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:32:00 GMT

I got this Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Digital Coffeemaker for my boyfriend because he goes to work at 4:30 am and never has time to make coffee.

I set up the coffee maker the night before and set the timer, so the coffee is freshly brewed for him when he gets up.

I have yet to have a problem with it and we have had it for about a year now.

It is so easy to use, timer always works, and it makes great coffee!

It is also very affordable! It was only $25 from Sears!

I would totally recommend this coffee maker!!

momgaret says "Perfect starter bed!" about Sorelle Joel Pine Toddler Bed - Cherry

momgaret — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:20:26 GMT

I got this Sorelle Joel Pine Toddler Bed in Cherry for my daughter because she was climbing out of her crib, and I figured it was time for a bed.

I love the color (cherry wood is my favorite!), and it was so easy to put together!

It was a little pricey (I paid $150 for it at Toys R Us) but since then I have found it cheaper online.

She loves it, it is just her size and it has a drawer for her to hid her special toys in...and yes, the drawer is very sturdy and works well! I am making a point of saying this because our crib (that I do love) came with a drawer that was a piece of junk and never worked right, and eventually fell apart. (My bf is a carpenter, so it was put together right, it just wasn't designed well!)

From the first night, this bed was a winner!

I would definately reccomend it!

momgaret says "Inexpensive, low carbs, delicious , and works!" about Frappio - Light Latte Coffee + Energy

momgaret — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:01:39 GMT

I found these Frappio Light Latte Coffee + Energy drinks at Big Lots for 60 cents!!

I love the coffee + energy drinks, but the brands you can find most easily (Rockstar, Monster, etc) are about $3 a can.

I was skeptical about this drink...I mean how good can it be for 60 cents??

I was pleasantly surprised though! It was SO yummy, and it did give me the boost I needed.

It also has no added sugar, only 60 calories, and only 4 net carbs!

Big Lots always has different energy drinks (that you can't find just anywhere) all for less than $1, and I have liked every one I've tried, but this is by far my favorite!

I would highly recommend these drinks!

momgaret says "Good for short periods of time." about Wegmans Wegmans Supreme Diapers, Size 5 Diapers

momgaret — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:08:54 GMT

I got Wegmans Supreme Diapers instead of my normal Pampers Cruisers because they were almost half the price for more diapers!

(Pampers are $40 for 124 diapers, the Wegmans were $25 for 140)

They work just fine, don't fit quite as nicely as the Pampers, but they get the job done.

However, when used over night, they leak like crazy! I'd have the same morning result if I put my daughter to bed without a diaper!

Having to wash everything from her bed daily is not worth saving some money to me...

Bottom line, these diapers are good for the amazingly cheap price, but be sure to get a small pack of your trusted name brand for overnight!!

momgaret says "Works like a dream!" about Spot Shot Carpet Stain Remover

momgaret — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:55:03 GMT

We moved into our house about a year ago, and about 98% of it is a light colored carpet. Of course, with 2 kids and my messy bf, we have plenty of spills and 'accidents'.I thought we needed to rent a carpet cleaner, because I couldn't find anything that would work.

My mom came to visit, and she got me some Spot Shot, and it worked! Every stain I used it on came out fast! I even used it on my chair, and it worked just as well :)

I love that it's so quick, and it doesn't take long to dry. That's important with my baby girl being on the floor. Spot Shot really helped me out! I would recommend this in a heartbeat!

momgaret says "Great and helpful!" about Crayola Large Washable Crayons

momgaret — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:58:44 GMT

These were a life saver!

My baby girl loves to draw on everything! As soon as you turn your back, she's drawing on whatever she can reach!

So I got these Crayola washable large crayons for her from Wegman's (at a great price! under $4), and they are great!

They draw well, are durable and thick, and really do wash off well!

She's already drawn on the kitchen floor, the wall, and our tv screen (yikes!) but it washed off all of them extremely easily!

The only thing is, she managed to get one in the wash...for some reason, the marks it left on the sheets from the wash won't come out...

Fantastic problem solver, as long as they stay out of the washing machine!!

momgaret says "Best electronic site there is!" about NewEgg

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:46:36 GMT

My boyfriend is CRAZY about electronics, and my brother in law (his best friend) is a builds computers for a living, and they bot love Newegg.

We have bought countless things from them, and everything has been of the best quality and the cheapest price.

Don't buy you're electronics anywhere else!

momgaret says "Outstanding and easy to use!" about Craigslist

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:43:46 GMT

I have used craigslist for a couple years now and it is the easiest and most helpful site!

You can find just about anything an there and it's better than ebay because it's local and no shipping!

I have sold many things and bought many thing using craigslist, and every experience has been a good one!

Try it out!

momgaret says "Super cute!! I love it!" about Raggedy Ann Costume: Girls Toddler ( -4T)

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:39:59 GMT

My daughter was 1 1/2 when she wore this last year. It was the first Halloween that she walked with us and went trick or treating! It fit perfect, the wig seemed comfortable (she never pulled on it) and she looked so adorable!

She still wears the dress and socks every now and then as everyday clothes.

Best costume ever!! I almost want her to wear it again this year!!...

momgaret says "Best there is!" about Baby Einstein DVD Collection

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:31:51 GMT

My little girl wouldn't stay still for 5 minutes, let alone through a movie! That is until I got the Baby Einstein collection!

She loves them all! She will stay put through the whole movie, and I don't feel guilty because they are educational. She's learned so many useful things from these movies. She now likes the Little Einsteins (for toddlers).

I would say that these are a perfect choice for all babies and toddlers. Fun, educational and cute!...

momgaret says "I was amazed!" about APX Alarm

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:23:04 GMT

A man came to our house a while ago offering a free alarm installation, and just $30/month for 60 months if we just put their small company sign on our lawn. (They are competing with ADT alarms, and need the advertisement)

At first I thought there were hidden fee's, it was a low quality alarm, or a scam. I let him make his pitch, and he said if we didn't want it anymore within a month, they would come back, tear up the contract and remove the alarm. So we got it.

The installer were very nice and quick. They explained everything and it was all very user friendly. I can even control my alarm with a key fob! I love it.

We have motion sensors that are not set off by pets, a smoke detector, window alarms for the kids, and it even has a setting that will let me know if my baby girl manages to get the door open!

It has been about 4 months now, and we have had no problems at all. They are very helpful when you call, and respond quickly. I know this because my 10 year old accidentally hit the panic......

momgaret says "Fantastic idea...if it worked." about Mommys Helper Sippy Cup and Snack Holder 8 oz Baby Bottle

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:05:04 GMT

This is a great idea, but I think it has yet to be perfected...at least with this specific product.

I got this from www.greatbabyproducts.com thinking it would be so useful and convenient, but I was disappointed to find the quality was so low. It is only $3.95, so I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up...

The lid leaks where it screws on and the snack compartment lid falls off! The cap for the compartment does not screw on, it pops on, then can be twisted to release the snack. Great idea, however the cap is too big! Even when it is empty it falls off!

The cup is a really good idea, but it doesn't work......

momgaret says "Surprisingly good!" about Desnoes and Geddes Ltd. Red Stripe Beer

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:12:59 GMT

Okay, let me first say, I don't like beer. I wish I did because it's cheaper than mixed drinks and liqueur.

Well, my brother in law came over with a 6 pack of red stripe, and the first thing I thought was that it had a cute bottle!

I've tried ton's of beer, and really didn't like any of them. I gave this one a shot, and was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't have the typical 'beer' taste, it's quite good actually. If I start drinking beer, Red Stripe would be my choice.

I can't comment on the price because I did not buy it, but it can't be worse that Corona, Yeungling or Bud Light Lime...

Overall, I would say it's a good choice if you like beer or not! Give it a try, you'll be happy you did!...

momgaret says "Great taste, great energy!" about Rockstar - Roasted Coffee & Energy - Light Vanilla

momgaret — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:02:36 GMT

I usually got the small Amp energy drinks (taste like mountain dew) for $1, then I saw a cashier at my local store drinking this, so I decided to try it.

I've had the original Rockstar, and I hated the taste. I got them because I could find them cheap. This one is delicious! I don't even like coffee, and I love this drink! If I could I would drink just Rockstar Roasted Coffee & Energy Light Vanilla all day!

The only thing is that they are $2.50 a piece...I think it's worth it though. I've tried just about every energy drink out there, and this is the best tasting one I have had. Gives good energy too!

BTW, I'm drinking one now! :)

Thanks Rockstar!!!...

momgaret says "Unbelieveable!" about Mr Clean Magic Eraser, Extra Power

momgaret — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:15:32 GMT

These magic erasers are incredible! They work on counters, tables, sinks, floors, wall, and anything else you can think of! I was VERY skeptical about them, but the first time I used it, I was completely convinced! I have 2 kids and a messy boyfriend, so these are a huge help! Thanks Mr. Clean!!...

momgaret says "Amazing!" about Dirt Devil Quick Power Vacuum

momgaret — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:03:52 GMT

I got this vacuum for valentine's day...and I LOVE it! My bf got it for me, because our 2 year old is always making little messes (snacks and stuff) and he thought this would make my life easier, so I wouldn't have to bust out the big vacuum for small areas. This vacuum is insane! It will easily pick up things my big vac never could! It has a dirt cup that is easy to empty, a crevice tool that is attatched and snaps on, and an easy to clean/change filter. It can be recharged at a included base. This has made my life a little easier, and I am SO happy to have it! Thanks Dirt Devil!...
