Little Looster: Booster for the Loo {Review & Giveaway}

Wow, one child potty training can be challenging enough, but twins? Some day's it's non-stop potty breaks! One of the biggest challenges are how the little one's will get up on the potty.

Well, thanks to the innovative company Little Looster, we no longer have to fight with having a stool by the potty.  We now have the Little Looster, Booster for the Loo. 

What makes this booster so unique is that it actually wrapLoosters around the bottom of the toilet so when it's not in use it tucks in, making it not only a space saver...but also allows us adults to not have to constantly push a stool out of the way.  Our children love it too, especially since it is always where it should be and not being moved around the house.

IMG_3916The Little Looster was designed by a mom of three children who completely understands what challenges we face in the potty training department.  It is very well constructed - holding not only the weight of my 3 1/2 year olds...but my 7 year old without any problems at all.  It cleans up very easily also!

The The Little Looster: Booster for the Loo can be purchased on-line through Little Looster for $34.99 or at other fine locations, or you can win one through me!

Little Looster and Mom Media Spark have been generous enough to offer one free to one A Mom Having Fun reader!

Aqueduck Faucet Extender {Review & Giveaway}

With having 3 year old twins - the smallest of tasks can be the most challenging.  Since they are both potty training and hand washing is a frequent occurrence...anything we can get or do to make the process easier is always very rewarding.

The Aqueduck Faucet Extender is perfect for helping your kiddo's reach the water.  Instead of moving the stool from the toilet to the sink all the time, they can now stand on the floor to reach the water!  And even for little one's who need to stand on a stool to reach the top of the sink - they may not be able to reach the water yet.  This is perfect them as well.

The Aqueduck is extremely easy to install...literally takes seconds!  It is portable, which is wonderful for going on vacation and visits to Grandma & Grandpa.  Plus, with the scare of BPA in the the plastic products these days you can rest assured that this product is completely safe.  No BPA, PVC, and no Phthalates.  It even comes with one tattoo sticker, I'm not sure about your kids, but mine love their tattoo's.  Although Anna calls them the slang "tat" - she came up with that on her own!



This product was invented by a mom, who with 3 growing boys found it more and more difficult to life her boys to wash their hands.  It's those little repetitive things we parents need to do that are usually our biggest challenges!    Her company - which is going to be offering other great products in called Peachy Co.

The Aqueduck Faucet Extender can be purchased on-line through Peachy Co for $12.99, or you can win one through me!  Peachy Co and Mom Media Spark have been generous enough to offer one free to one A Mom Having Fun reader!

 To Enter to Win:  Visit Peachy Co., and let me know your favorite feature of Aqueduck

Yoplait Kids Yogurt {Review/Giveaway}

Yoplait_Kids_yogurt_Strawberry
There is a lot of talk about kids not getting enough Vitamin D in their diets.  Not drinking enough milk has been one our battles.  Luckily our children love yogurt…especially the girls!
That’s why being given the opportunity to review and have a giveaway through MyBlogSpark with Yoplait Kids Yogurt is very exciting.  We received our “goody” package last week and oldest daughter, Megan, could hardly contain herself! 
Our package included a coupon* for any variety of the Yoplait Kids yogurt products, a foldable travel cooler (to take your yogurt on-the-go), a cool four-piece spoon set, a power magnet picture frame, trendy alphabet-shaped “Kiddie Bands”, a great big bounce ball and a “My First Scavenger Hunt” card game for some after-snack fun.

Yoplait Kids Yogurt comes in 3 flavors – Vanilla (Cars/Lightening McQueen packaging), Strawberry (Dora packaging) and Strawberry Banana (Disney Princess packaging.  Megan selected the Strawberry Banana flavor.  And could hardly wait to start eating it!

They all loved the flavor and consistency of the yogurt, as well as the spoons.  The spoons, called “ice cream” spoons, are adorable and come in bright/cute colors.  The kids loved the scavenger hunt game, which is very appropriate for all ages.  Our 3 year olds had no problem finding the items and our 7 year old had a blast with a 10 year old neighbor who was over.

20110225_0008 20110225_0007 20110225_0009
20110225_0011 Scavenger Hunt items!

ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror {Review & Giveaway} {US & Canada}


I am so excited to have been given the opportunity to review the ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror.  I was actually really happy for my husband who has to shave in the shower or else he has problems with razor burn.  The "fogless" mirror I had bought for him a couple Christmas' ago was never actually fogless.  Plus we could never get it to stick to the wall.

I love the fact that this mirror really is fogless.  To prevent fogging you need fill the mirrors reservoir with hot water.  Also, since we mounted the mirror 5 days ago we've had no problems with it coming down.  The adhesive is a silicone glue which is very durable, I can't imagine it going anywhere.


My husband enjoys being able to shave in the shower without having to fight a fogging issue or trying to balance the mirror since it won't stick.  And I am really excited for me with this mirror!  I never really imagined I would use a mirror in the shower, but with its handy little shelf it's great to put tweezers and razors on.  I really like that I can remove my mascara in the shower and know that it really is all gone!  Also, it's great to use for exfoliating.

The frame with the mirror moves at different angles, which is very convenient for multiple users.  The mirror itself is shatter proof and rust proof.  It also comes with a self-stored squeegee for wiping off water droplets.




This fogless mirror is currently available for $29.95 on Amazon in both the US & Canada. A great gift to keep in mind for a birthday or Father's Day. :-)

I am honored though to be able to offer the ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror as a giveaway to one of my readers!

To Enter to Win:  You must go to ToiletTree's site and tell me what your favorite is your favorite feature of this mirror.

Extra Entries (available after the mandatory entry above is completed; please leave a separate comment for each entry in order for them to be counted).

Doozy E-cards {Review & Giveaway}

It's February, and you know that that means Valentine's Day is coming up quickly! Actually there are several "holidays" ahead of us - St. Patrick's Day, Easter (for those who celebrate), Mother's Day, (my birthday), I mean Memorial Day, ...etc.

Besides all the gifts of candy, jewelry and flowers - cards are always a traditional gift for any holiday. It's even just a great way to tell someone you are thinking of them.

Doozycards offers an incredible selection of electronic cards for any and all occasions. Whether you just want to tell someone you are thinking of them, say Happy Birthday, or say I Love You - they have it all. Doozycards creates all their own animations and in a variety of styles, such as the cute sentimental cards like Valentine Puppies and funny cards like Hot Kisses.

I have so many friends and family that have moved away from the area, and unfortunately life gets busy and goes by way too fast.  When I don't have time to call or send a long winded email - I love the ability to send an E-card with a really nice message on it just to say hi.

The president of Doozy cards is a dynamic woman and mother of 3 boys, and when you sign up for a Premier Membership a portion of the proceeds go to St. Vincent Meals on Wheels to feed homebound elders. So the company itself is charitable and, I think, shows a lot of compassion.

Normally there is a $19.95 Premier Membership fee, but Doozycards has been generous enough to offer 2 of my readers a one year Premier Membership for free.  Once you are a member and logged on to their website you can set up reminders for yourself for upcoming birthdays, anniversary's, or special occasions. 

So here are the details on how to enter the giveaway - 2 people will receive a one year Premier Membership for free!

To Enter to Win:  You must go to Doozycard's site and tell me what your favorite e-card is.

Extra Entries (available after the mandatory entry above is completed; please leave a separate comment for each entry in order for them to be counted).

1 Extra Entry (per method) Doozycards on Twitter and/or Like them on Facebook.

The roller ball on my Blackberry died a few days ago so I ordered a new phone.  I REALLY wanted an Android with the touch screen so I ordered a T-Mobile G2 with Google.  I got my new phone yesterday and LOVE it.  I'm a tech geek and, unfortunately, could spend hours "playing" with this new fun little gadget.  I have to come back down to earth and concentrate on business.  The last thing I need is yet another distraction.  :-)  Although, it is fun for those mental breaks!
