Help Your Child Swim With Konfidence

Posted on January 26, 2013January 10, 2016 by Mandy

If you are a parent, introducing your child to swimming can be fun and a little scary all at once.  From the time my son was about a year old, he has loved swimming and playing in the water.  We started out with the standard kiddy pools until he was about six years old and then we joined our local recreational association that has a huge pool.  By that time he wasn’t interested in just staying in the kiddy pool.  The big pool is where he wants to be now.  He has taken swimming lessons and does very well, but we did use the buoyancy jackets and arm floats in the beginning.  I wish we’d have had the great selection of children’s swimming aids from Konfidence to choose from back then.

After checking out Konfidence, I was pleasantly surprised at how stylish buoyancy jackets and suits can be for children.  However, they offer so much more, like sun protection suits, swim nappies, and even fun water toys.  For the littlest ones, the Warma Wetsuits, which are terribly cute, offer some warmth from cooler waters.  As your child is learning to swim, Konfidence swimming aids help them become more confident in their swimming abilities.  The removable float systems in the in the float suits are such a great idea, allowing children a little more freedom as they increase their swimming capabilities. 

Warmer weather is just around the corner and Konfidence has some great winter savings going on now to get you geared up for summer.

Valentine’s Day Cakes From Shari’s Berries

Posted on January 24, 2013January 10, 2016 by Mandy

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and if you’re looking for something sweet and decadent for the special people in your life, Shari’s Berries has such a great selection of treats that are sure to bring many smiles.  If you’re looking for unique cakes, chocolate hand-dipped strawberries, or even fun cake pops, this is your online one-stop shop for all things chocolate and more.

To get into the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I had the opportunity to try out the Three Layer Chocolate Happy Valentine’s Day Cake from Shari’s Berries.  It was tough trying to decide exactly what I wanted to try out because all of the Valentine’s Day treats offered on the site looked so amazing.

This is the cake featured on the Shari’s Berries website that I ordered.  However, when it arrived, it wasn’t exactly the same cake pictured.  This wasn’t something that concerned me as we were only trying the cake, but it might be a huge concern for someone placing an order and expecting what was pictured above.

The cake was packed very well and kept cool in its packaging, but it did arrived slightly damaged.  I feel strongly that this is not a reflection of the packaging, but most likely poor handling in delivery.  It’s bound to happen with food products like this.  Again, not a huge concern for me as it was still edible.

This is a slice of the cake we received.  You can see that it had colored sprinkles on it, but it did say “Happy Valentine’s Day”, so I still think it was appropriate for the occasion.  It was very moist, delicious, and very rich.  If you’re a huge fan of chocolate, this is definitely your cake.

Shari’s Berries has some great coupon codes available to help you save on your orders.  Placing my order was very easy and I was very pleased with the ordering process and shipping updates I received while waiting for the cake to arrive.

I was given the chance to review a complimentary product from Berries.com. All opinions are my own.

Dollar General/P&G Everyday Heroes Prize Pack Giveaway #ad

Posted on January 22, 2013January 10, 2016 by Mandy

One reason I love shopping at Dollar General is because they give so much back to programs that help others in need.  One such program that I am so excited they support is literacy.  I know as a lover of books and a children’s librarian that it only takes one book to open the floodgates of learning and discovering a whole new world through words.  The Dollar General Literacy Foundation can help put people in touch with local agencies that can help them learn to read, get their GED diploma, and learn English.

This February, Dollar General and Procter & Gamble are honoring everyday heroes who make sacrifices for their families and make a difference in their communities.  One such hero is Sabrina in Chicago.

Sabrina is a driving force in the community of North Lawndale, on the west side of Chicago. In addition to raising her own four children in the neighborhood she grew up in, she also became a valued community leader and volunteer. She was the Chair of the Parent Committee at her children’s elementary school and continued to work with a national after-school literacy organization, America SCORES, as a writing coach for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade boys, even after all of her own children went on to high school.

We are so fortunate to have those like Sabrina who give of their time to make a big impact on those who need it most.  You can learn more about this wonderful program Dollar General supports by visiting this page.

On Sunday, January 27, 2013, be sure to check your newspaper for the Procter & Gamble brandSAVER coupon insert and use them at Dollar General to get some great savings on the high quality P&G products you and your family use most.
