When my husband decided to try to start his own business a couple years ago, we needed business cards.  I was able to make a business card template myself using my own computer, but we wanted it professionally printed so we contacted Kinko's. After calling Kinko's, I e-mailed them the file that contained the business card template.  Then they printed the cards in color, 12 per...

In the course of organizing the garage, we purchased a storage cabinet made by Coleman. The size we purchased is 75-3/8”H x 19-5/8”D x 31-1/8”W and is perfect for our needs.  They also offer larger sizes, and my husband is lobbying for one.  These have one fixed shelf and two removeable shelves which gives you a lot of flexibility in what you can store inside.  ...

LifeStyle excite sensual gel is a product that is supposed to increase female pleasure during the sexual experience.  I found this gel while I was a breastfeeding mom, and in need of something (anything!) to increase my arousal.  If I had to write a one-word response to this product, it would be 'wow!'  A few seconds after application, you will begin to feel a warm, tingl...

Last fall my husband went to rent a powerwasher to rid our siding of mold, but came back the proud owner of the Honda Excell 2600.  He thought it would be a good investment, and although I was skeptical at first, now I agree. We use this powerwasher a lot.  Last weekend my husband washed his tractor, all our lawnchairs, and our kids' wading pool that had been sitting out all winte...

After two pregnancies back to back, I found myself with dark spots from melasma on my cheeks that did not go away. I tried to ignore them thinking they were not that noticeable until my hairdresser tried to wipe some off my face thinking she'd dripped hair color on me. Then I decided to do something.My first inclination was to go to a dermatologist, but a $30 copay ...

I am not usually one to try new things, especially those that seem gimmicky, but I received a $2.50 coupon for a Bounce dryer bar which made it inexpensive enough for me to want to try it. These bars stick to a piece of plastic that adheres to the inside of your dryer's drum. When the clothes are tossed in the dryer they come into contact with the bar which deposits the fabric softener on t...

A couple months ago we found ourselves in a bind with a very high credit card balance and no way to reduce our interest rate below 20%.  I have a bank account with Regions Bank and called them to see if they offered a credit card at a lower interest rate we could transfer our money onto.What Regions Bank offered me was a cash advance.  I think I had probably received offers for such a...

Our church purchased some interlocking rubber mats made by Step2 to go under the climbing mats in the toddler nursery.  We wanted something safe, but fun and these mats seemed to fit the bill.  These mats have tongues and grooves just like puzzle pieces and are very easy to put together.  They are slightly textured so little feet have traction. They are made of 3/4" thick fo...

When my daughter turned a year old, we decided to buy her some building blocks for her birthday.  We had noticed that she was getting very good at handling things and stacking blocks so thought it would be a great gift.  Boy, were we right!  Out of all the toys we've ever purchased, I believe this set of blocks has gotten the most use by far. These blocks are sold in bags of ...

My daughter received a pair of Carter's rain boots from her aunt for Christmas.  She absolutely loves them!  They are bright and colorful and very girlie.  She even wants to wear them in the heat of the summer when it isn't raining and when it's 90 degrees outside. These boots are cute, but very functional as well.  They have little loops on the tops that can be ...

The Baby Einstein Lights and Melodies Caterpillar Bouncer was the bouncy seat we used with both my babies.  The chair gently vibrates and helps to calm baby and put them to sleep.  It has an arm that is detachable that has lights and plays 6 classical melodies (these are very soothing).  Little toys hang from the overhanging arm, and older infants can reach out for those.There ar...

My husband works in construction and frequently has to haul scrap materials from the site onto his truck.  He owns the Jackson construction-grade wheelbarrow, which has a 6 cubic foot capacity. This wheelbarrow works really well for him.  It is a little on the pricey side, but it comes with a tough steel-reinforced bed that makes it extremely durable.  The wheels are mounted wit...

Using Baby Legs legwarmers is a great way to keep your baby's legs warm during cooler months.  These legwarmers are made just for little legs and come in lots of cute designs for both boys and girls from infants through size 10. These legwarmers not only keep little legs warm, but because they are not pulled up over the diaper like tights, diaper changes are infinitely easier.  Th...

Where I live snow accumulates enough to make snow removal difficult only a few times each winter.  So, while most people don't like to spend the money on a snowblower, they are nice to have when the times comes. After the first snowfall in our new home, our neighbor let us borrow his Toro Powerlite snowblower.  We had between 3 and 4 inches of snow and this snowblower removed it e...

I purchased a set of aero bars made by Syntace when I began riding my road bike for long distances.  I have never removed them (except for a race, where they are not allowed) and find they make riding much more comfortable. These aero bars were easy to attach to my bicycle's frame and are also removed easily.  They do not weigh much, so will not add to the bulk of your cycle. The...

This is a great leaf blower.  It starts up well on the first try every time we need it.  It is gas powered so it can be taken anywhere without having to worry about an electrical cord.  One of the best features is that it is a backpack unit, so you have both hands free and it is easy to use. We don't have many trees so our leaf blower doesn't see many leaves, but we ...

Gu comes in several flavors, including orange, berry, chocolate, vanilla and plain.  They also have flavors that contain caffeine, which gives you an added en...

This sand and water table is a great alternative to a traditional sandbox.  The table stands a couple feet tall, so kids do not have to climb inside to play with it.  It has two sides, one for sand and one for water.  Each side has a removeable plug, so that water can be drained out. The umbrella that comes with it is useful, since we don't have a lot of shade in the yar...

When I began swimming, I had a big problem with getting water in my ears.  Even though I sometimes wore ear plugs, water still occasionally found its way into my ear canal.  I have a terrible time getting water out of my ear, and would usually end up with a sloshing sound in my head for hours until it finally dribbled out. I found Swim-EAR soon after one particularly long episode with...
