Executees: Custom Rhinestone T-Shirts For True Divas

Say hello to Bridgette, my friend and compadre on Double Duty Divas, a blog promotion and networking site we recently launched, who models tees on the side. "Divas" by the way refer to ourselves as we balance parenting, professional and blogging. One cool way we're promoting the site is with the pictured personalize tee from Executees who create customized shirts made with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements. Not only does it look super cute, the shirt holds up to washing and is soft and comfy too.

Haven't created a business or website recently to promote? They offer other spiffy styles too including tees for brides and weddings, kids and completely personalized styles as well. As extensive catalog of Bella shirts lets customers choose anything from standard long or shirt sleeve tees to hoodies, terry pants and more. Years ago I purchased a pair of yoga pants at the Utica Boilermaker 15K with the Bella label and have yet to give them up even torn and tattered after since they really are my #1 favorite pants for comfort. So if you're looking for a fancied up personalize shirt or pants for yourself or the kids, Executees is a cool pick we're happy to spotlight.



Cool Tip: As Valentine's Day approached, Excutees is ready with various heart designs including my favorite solid heart at the top of their homepage.

Musicolor: Combining Creativity & Technology {Giveaway}

Musicolor by Delta Creative is a fun and creative toy that will enhance your child's creativity by turning color into music. We liked it because it was so easy to do together as a fun-filled family activity. The kit includes a model record players and paper records that your child colors. The paper records have numbers on them so it is also a great exercise in following directions. If you color in all the numbers correctly the record will play a song. Some of the songs include: Jingle Bells, Three Blind Mice, and Humpty Dumpty. This innovative tool compares the power of technology with creativity in a unique way. Musicolor had my four year old occupied for almost an hour. She did need prompting to stay in the lines; I would recommend it for children from 4 to 7 years old. Musicolor was nominated for Toy of the Year in 2009 and also in Playthings Toy of the Week in October, 2009. It is available on Amazon.com, Target.com, and Deltacreative.com and a wonderful activity for the winter months.

OxiClean Max Force Power Packs & Gel Stick Pre-Treater

You've seen the commercials...you know Billy Macys and his OxiClean legacy. But have you actually tried the product? To be honest, before being given two new OxiClean products to test last week, I never tested them out myself. In mid-February OxiClean Max Force Powder Packs and Pre-Treater Gel Stick hit the shelves. To get ready for their launch, Cool Baby Kid gave both a test drive. And I have just one thought...no one told me about OxiClean before? Really? Is there some cult secret like the one that doesn't allow mothers to share the real facts about what labor is really like? (And because some CBK may likely be pregnant I, unfortunately, can't reveal the true on that one.) But I will share the fact...OxiClean is awesome.

The Max Force Powder Packs are cute little packs of, well, powder. Stick them into the washer along with regular detergent to fight stains and make whites whiter and colors brighter. To be honest I don't use them with every load due to the cost of extra detergent. But with kids' clothes that look dingy quick it really does brighten them up. As for the Stain Stick low down. It supposedly tackles the toughest dried-in stains, but since I didn't have any really tough stains to test, I took an old washcloth, drew all over it with green crayon (a totally feasible stain) and rubes on the Max Force. To my surprise, as I was a skeptic about this particular test, voila. Gone. Need I say more? I've been searching for stains to remove ever since.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of OxiClean and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
