New Glasses

Recently, I got a back-up pair of glasses. You see, I've been misplacing my glasses like a geriatric patient these days and I needed to have an extra set for the in-the-car/in-the-house deal and the upstairs-downstairs situation. I'd have several pairs if I could afford it, but for now two pairs of prescription glasses is enough. Especially since I didn't have to pay for the second pair, just the frames.

I tried to find a picture of me wearing my new glasses, but since I'm the one behind the camera most of the time one does not exist. It doesn't really matter, we all know you are just here to see pictures of my daughters anyway.

My friends at Mom Central invited me to try a new type of lenses, made by Airwear. They are 43% lighter and 10 times more impact resistant than standard plastic lenses, plus they offer complete UV protection and are virtually unbreakable.

Virtually unbreakable? Hello new glasses, welcome to my world of want-to-be-grown up toddlers and curious babies!

To get the glasses, all I had to do was pick out my frames (I went for cheap ones at a local super store) and mail them with my prescription to Airwear. It took a little longer than expected to get them back, all made to suit my prescription, but I was told this was due to this being a newer product and the company trying to work out their shipping and receiving kinks.

You can learn more about these glasses and how to order them by visiting the Airwear website, http://www.airwear.com/. Oh, and did I mention this was an eco-friendly company? They recycle all of their production waste and use as much recylced material in their packaging and production as possible.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Airwear and received a pair of Airwear eyeglass lenses to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

    Well, Charloote looks cute in your glasses. If you look half as good, they are perfect.

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
