“Here Comes Peter Cottontail” DVD Giveaway “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” The Original Classic DVD

Where has the year gone? It is hard for me to believe that it is almost Easter. Since Easter is this coming Sunday, I have been trying to explain the Easter Bunny to Evan so he'll get excited.

I was sent the original TV classic, "Here Comes Peter Cottontail".


Peter Cottontail wants to be the #1 Chief Easter Bunny and everyone in April Valley agrees…except for his archrival, evil Irontail. Hop along with Peter and his friends as they race through time celebrating all of your favorite holidays to deliver the most eggs…and save Easter for children everywhere!

I used this DVD to help explain about the Easter Bunny and eggs. Evan really enjoyed watching the movie and has asked to watch it several times since. I got out the plastic Easter eggs and we have had fun hiding them in the backyard. Evan talks about Peter Cottontail every time we bring them out.

If you're a fan of the classics, this DVD would be a great addition to your collection. It was originally released in 1971 and has been remastered.

Buy It
You can purchase "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" for $9.93 on Amazon.

I received a copy of “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” on DVD as part of a campaign through Family Review Network. All opinions are 100% mine.

Planet Wise Hanging Wet/Dry Bags Can Be Used For More Than Cloth Diapers Review And Giveaway

I have been cloth diapering for over a year now, so I am very familiar with the need for wet bags. They're also great for storing wet clothes from the pool or beach. Sometimes it can be hard to find a wet bag that truly keeps odor and dampness in.



Planet Wise has a fantastic selection of Wet Bags and other accessories. Not only are they completely functional, but they come in several stylish colors and prints. Planet Wise carries wet bags, pail liners, swim/diaper bags, and will soon have washable wipes, training pants, and more!

Planet Wise sent us the Hanging Wet/Dry Bag.


Finally a solution where one bag can carry your wet and dry items at the same time while keeping them separate. Each bag is sewn and sealed for no wicking or leaking plus an added zippered dry pocket on the front including two handles so it can be easily hung on a doorknob and/or carried!

The one downside to using cloth diapers is that they take up a lot of space. You have to be able to find a good place to keep the clean ones as well as the dirty ones when you're at home or out and about. The Hanging Wet/Dry Bag has a zippered pocket for clean diapers and a huge section for dirty diapers.

The Hanging Wet/Dry bags holds more dirty diapers than any other wet bag that I've owned. It is 16.5"x27" and holds approximately 20-24 cloth diapers. This comes in handy when you have more than one in diapers. It has also been great because Evan is potty training and I can throw his nasty clothes in there when he has an accident. If you're traveling, you won't have a diaper pail and this bag would be perfect.


If you don't use cloth diapers, the Hanging Wet/Dry Bag is also perfect for the beach or pool. You can keep dry clothes in the zippered pocket, and you can throw the wet swim suits or towels in the large area.


I keep mine hanging on the door knob of the bathroom. I can spray dirty diapers with the diaper sprayer and put them straight into the Wet Bag. I have been amazed that there is absolutely no odor and the outside of the bag is completely dry. The quality has surpassed my expectations.

If you need a great wet bag for cloth diapers or for a day at the beach, the Hanging Wet/Dry Bag is a fantastic solution. Visit Planet Wise to view all of their other products.

You can purchase the Hanging Wet/Dry Bag for about $29.99 at their retailers.

Get Your Family's Spring Wardrobe For Less At T.J. Maxx and Marshalls Review And Giveaway

With the economy in the gutter, consumers are looking for ways to cut back and become savvy shoppers. Finding quality clothing at affordable prices can be difficult, but I want my family to still dress in stylish products.

T.J. Maxx and Marshalls are two places you can shop and learn “Off-Price 101”; quality designer fashions at a fraction of the price. They carry the same merchandise at 60% less than department stores so that customers everywhere can live the designer life without designer prices. Not only do they carry fashionable clothing, but they also have home decor, accessories, toys, and more.

Marshalls sent me a $25 gift card.


I have always been a huge fan of Marshalls and T.J. Maxx. I can find all of the items that I love at a fraction of the cost. Many pieces in our wardrobe have been purchased at these two stores.

I'm sure people looked at me like I was insane, but I snapped a few pictures while we were there. This was just one row of their fantastic selection of shoes.


They had several racks and two walls adorned with dresses for spring. They had several designers include Calvin Klein and they were split up according to size so it was easy to find what you wanted.


I'm a little obsessed with baby/toddler clothing and these shoes were only $5!


Their prices are fantastic to begin with, but they often have several clearance items as well. I happened to be in there at the end of summer one year and bought several blow up pools, slip and slides, and other summer items on clearance for under $5 each! Here is a shot of just a few of the toys that they had this weekend.


I have heard great things about this Rose Petal Cottage and I saw it out of the corner of my eye while we were shopping this weekend. It retails for $200 and it was on clearance at Marshalls for $39. It was too good of a deal to pass up.


If you want quality, designer products at a fraction of the cost, visit your local T.J. Maxx or Marshalls for some amazing deals.

AIR-O-SWISS 7144 Digital Warm & Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier Review And Giveaway

Spring means really bad allergies for me. I wake up in the mornings and can't breathe. I like to keep a humidifier in whatever room I'm in to help.



AIR-O-SWISS has a fantastic selection of humidifiers and other products. Their parent company, PLASTON, has been making products since 1965. AIR-O-SWISS has been selling products in North America since 2001. They have done their research and combine quality and innovation to meet their customer's needs.

AIR-O-SWISS sent us the 7144 Digital Warm & Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier.


This Digital Ultrasonic humidifier uses high-frequency vibrations to generate a micro-fine mist when blown into a room immediately evaporates. Choose the pre-heating function and mist exits the appliance at a pleasant 104 °F. «ITC™» technology (Intelligent Temperature Compensation) monitors the temperature and automatically adjusts the output when conditions change. A replaceable demineralization (Ag+ Ionic Silver Technology) cartridge ensures water mist without lime scale or mineral residues, and the AIR-O-SWISS quad-band microbial protection system helps prevent microbial growth in the water base. This is particularly important when the humidifier is not used for some time with water remaining in the base.

I have never seen a humidifier with this many features. First of all, it is beautiful. It fits the decor in my house perfectly and doesn't stand out as an eye sore. It can humidify the air in rooms up to 650 square feet which allows me to use it in most areas of my house.

Before the first use, the cartridge must soak in water for 24 hours. Simply take the tank off and remove the cartridge. Place the cartridge in enough water to fully cover it. After it is done soaking for 24 hours, fill the tank with clean water and put the cap back on.


Place the tank onto the base and plug it in. The on/off switch is in front and the green light will come on when you turn it on.


The Hygrostat allows you to set the humidity level. The large LCD screen will show you what the humidity level is.


The timer allows you to set the humidifier to run for 1-8 hours at a time.


It can be set to Sleep Mode where the unit pre-determines a comfortable night humidity level.


The LCD screen lets you know when the unit needs more water, needs cleaning, what mode it is in, and even has an output indicator.


I can be bad about not turning humidifiers on for days at a time and they can get really gross. The Digital Warm & Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier has several features that make it so only clean mist comes out. The ultrasonic system emits high-frequency vibrations to destroy most microbes and the plastic housing of the demineralization cartridge is treated with silver which inhibits microbial growth on its surface.

I couldn't be more pleased with this humidifier. I can rest assure that the mist is clean and the LCD screen always tells me what humidity level the room is at. With so many amazing features, I'll never look for another humidifier.

Aloha Friday

It's Aloha Friday over at An Island Life! Answer my question and make sure you post one on your blog! After that, go relax because today is Friday!!

My question for this week is:

If someone were to come knock on your door right now and come in, would you be embarrassed with how clean your house is?
We put our house up for sale yesterday and have been working hard to minimize the clutter that comes with having two little kids. My house is super clean now, so I wouldn't be embarrassed, but I would have been about a week ago.

High Sierra 32-Inch Drop-Bottom Expandable Wheeled Duffel With Backpack Straps Review And Giveaway

We go on several beach trips during the summer. Now that we have two small children, it seems like we have to pack so much. It has been hard finding the right luggage for our growing family.



High Sierra Sport Company has a fantastic selection of luggage, backpacks, and more. As their website states, they have been a family owned business for over 30 years that is committed to producing thoughtfully innovative bags and luggage that appeal to the intelligence and esteem of the active lifestyle and outdoor consumer. High Sierra strives to bring their customers high quality bags at a price they can afford.

High Sierra sent us the 32-Inch Drop-Bottom Expandable Wheeled Duffle With Backpack Straps.



Take the journey to go. Our 32" Expandable Wheeled Duffel offers a whopping 7,980 cubic inches of space, packing more compartments, functionality and access into one bag than ever before. It has tons of storage options, including a large main compartment that expands 2.5" for extra packing, an easy-access, drop-bottom compartment with hold-down straps for shoes and other gear, and a divider panel between the upper and lower compartments which rolls up to create one large compartment. It even has hidden backpack straps to carry heavy loads up a stairway or along rough terrain. With its roomy compartments and intelligent organizing features, packing more in will never be a problem.

I am in love with this bag. Not only is it huge, but it is really 3 bags in one! It can be used as a wheeled upright, a duffel or as a backpack. High Sierra hit the nail on the head with this one. It has so many features that make traveling with my family easier.

The main compartment holds all of the clothes my husband and I would need on our beach trips. The front can expand 2.5", giving us extra space to pack Evan and Isabella's clothing. The front is accessible from the main compartment which makes packing and unpacking easier. The zippered divider panel keeps our clothing separate, or can be rolled up to keep it all together.


There are Hidden padded backpack straps stored behind the zippered padded bottom panel. This makes it easier to load and unload the car when your arms are full.


The telescoping aircraft aluminum handle system has a locking mechanism that makes rolling the duffel a breeze.


The molded foot allows the duffel to stand upright when not in use, or it can act as a handle to make lifting easier. There is a kick plate between the wheel housings that keep the bag protected from abrasion.


The bag is 32.0" x 15.0" x 15.00", but can expand to 17.5". It holds all of the clothes that we would need for weekend trips to the beach and makes it where we don't have to brings as many bags. The duffel also has enough space for blankets, diapers, and a few other accessories that we would need for the kids.
