As the mother of two boys, ages 5 and 8, I can tell you that toy cars and trucks rank up there as favorite toys in my home. There is something classic about little boys and their toy cars and my two sons are no different. They both have had many toy cars in the past but none that they were able to create and customize on their own. That is why both of them were thrilled to have the opportunity to customize their own Hot Wheels® Customs Car. Anyone can now design and decorate their own Hot Wheels® Customs Car online. All it takes is five easy steps to create a unique customized car complete with a photo of your favorite little Hot Wheels® fan! All we had to do to create our customized car was log on to the Hot Wheels® website and choose our favorite ride from the four cool vehicle styles: Hiway Hauler, Dairy Delivery, Surfin' School Bus or School Busted.

SoapTime® Review and Giveaway
Anytime that I can recommend a great product to you guys and teach my sons a lesson about proper personal hygiene, I jump at the opportunity.

Lysol No Touch Hand System and Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes Review and Giveaway
You can never have too much soap around when you have children. Unfortunately, most soaps cannot guarantee that using them will kill all of the bacteria and germs that you are exposed to on a daily basis. We have always loved Lysol® products in our home but, we didn't realize how important using their products was to the health of my family until my sons and I contracted the H1N1 Virus two years ago. For those of you who don't know this virus by its scientific name, you will probably recognize it as the Swine Flu. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we all got violently sick with this flu because we did not take the necessary precautions to protect our home from harmful germs. Since recovering from this virus, I have paid a lot more attention to the products that we use to wash our hands and to clean areas of the house that can be potential breeding grounds for bacteria and disease such as sinks and the toilet. Obviously, this does not guarantee that we will be protected from all … [Read more...]
