School is getting ready to start again and in my house of 8 we are always rushing around trying to get ready and eat in time to get out the door in time. I want them to eat a healthly and nourishing breakfast before school. One of our favorite is oatmeal. We love the instant pop it in the microwave and it is done kind. So when we got the chance to try the new Better Oats Oat Revolution Steel Cut Oats you bet we said yes!
I love steel cut oat but normally I have to cook it over night in the crockpot for it to be ready in time for school. So I love that Better Oats came out with the instant kind. It is only 170 calories, a 1/2 a gram of SAT FAT, 5g of protein, 8% iron and 4g of fiber and tons more stuff. So it is a great healthy option for breakfast. They even have Flax seed which is great for your dietary fibers! Best part is its ready in a little over 2 minutes! Then even have great flavors! I love the Maple and Brown Sugar and the kids love the Apple Cinnamon.
So if you are looking for something easy, fast and healthy for breakfast for back to school check out Better Oats Oat Revolution Steel Cut Oats. You will be glad you did and so will your kids. Everyone deserves a healthy, hearty breakfast!

Smarcks Smart Blocks for kids review
As many of you know I love finding products and toys that are educational for my kids. I mean whats better than a toy that will amuse them for a bit so you can get stuff done and at the same time be teaching them stuff too? I cant think of anything better. I must say all 6 of my kids favorite toys since they were little and even now as they are older are blocks. Blocks of all shapes and sizes. So when I came across Smarcks Smart Blocks I knew these were for us!
What are Smarcks? They are Kids Blocks that talk and teach kids a variety of skills like numbers, colors, ABC's,Math, Nursery rhymes and much more. I think that is the coolest thing ever. We got a 70 piece building set and the color blocks, the nursery rhyme blocks, the music blocks, the math blocks, counting, shapes and ABC Blocks. My kids were so excited. They were fighting over who's blocks they were ha ha. Not that they don't have a million more block around the house but none of them talk and sing ha ha. They had a blast building towers and castles and listening to the blocks sing to them and count with them. I think this is their new favorite toy. They have been playing with them for over a week and have not got tired of them yet. They just love learning and building and listening to them. These are a definite must have for all kids. These would make great birthday presents and Christmas presents. You really need to check these out they are the coolest thing ever!
So if you have kids like mine that love blocks and building you have to check out Smarcks and how awesome they really are! Your kids will love them and so will you and you will know not only are they using their imagination to build stuff but they are learning a variety of skills. So cool so head over and get some now!

Day 9 Back to School Event- Piggy Paint the safe polish review and giveaway ends 9-9
Having 5 girls aged 3 up to 12 we have alot of girly stuff around. All my girls love to dress up and look pretty. They love makeup and fingernail polish but some of the polish out on the market stink, and have so many chemicals not safe for kids or even adults. That why I love Piggy Paint.
Piggy Paint offers a natural, safe nail polish that is safe enough to put on your kids. They offer the Piggy Paint line with kids colors, the Project Earth line with teen colors, and the Refined line with sophisticated colors for adults! We love it beyond words. I love that it has no scent and no chemicals. Especially with my younger kids who I swear have their fingers back in their mouths right after I paint them lol. I love that it goes on easily and dries fast for my kids who are always on the move and don't have time to wait for their beautiful nails to dry. It does chip a little faster then other paints but I think that is a good trade for no smell or chemicals. Piggy Paint also has a Low odor, hypoallergenic nail polish remover that we absolutely love. It has barely any smell unlike others that stink up the whole house and it quickly gets the polish off and safely. I love that.
So if you have girls like mine who are very girly and love to dress up you have to check out Piggy Paint. Perfect for back to school so they can have pretty nails like their friends. So head over and check out their variety of colors for kids, teens and adults. You will love them!
I am giving one lucky reader a $15 gift Certificate to Piggy Paint yay!

Day 8 back to school event- Umi shoes review and giveaway ends 9-2
Back to school means shoe shopping for me. I have 6 kids and every season its time for new shoes I swear lol. For school shoes I always look for good sturdy durable brands that are stylish that my kids will enjoy and that match with their new school attire. This is where Umi Shoes come in! We love Umi and we get them all the time. They have to be one of the best children shoe brands out there that Ive tried! So when they asked me to review a pair of shoes from their new Fall line how could I resist?
I got the Radiant Boots in black for my almost 7 year old for this winter. They are absolutely even more adorable in real life then the pictures. I love the height of them. I love the non slip soles. I love the design and color but most of all I love that the rubber sole part comes up and covers the toes. I swear my kids must walk on their toes. That is always the first part to get ruined on their shoes. So I am so glad this has the extra protection on the toes! My daughter is in love with them and I know they will be a hit at school with her friends. They are absolutely the coolest boots around!
So if you are looking for reasonable priced durable kids shoes you definitely need to check out Umi Shoes. You will love them and so will your kids! Perfect for back to school!
We are giving one lucky reader a pair of Umi's of choice yay!

Knot Genie review and Contest
I have 5 girls that all have alot of hair. We have used brush after brush and I still hear whining and griping and crying and running away every time I try to do their hair. Really its got to the point I hate doing their hair anymore. Its a very stressful time for all of us. So when I got the chance to try a Knot Genie I thought why not!
The Knot Genie is a hand held cloud shape brush with no handle almost like a horse brush lol. Its bristles are soft rubber like. I immediately thought this is not going to get the knots out of my girls hair. Boy was I wrong lol. I did like a blind folded test with my girls and brushes half their hair with my regular brush and the other half with the Knot Genie and immediately they could tell a difference. both sides got all the knots out but they didn't cry with the Knot Genie. They were like what are you doing to my hair on the side with the Knot Genie and not realizing I was brushing it and hen I said brushing your hair they were immediately turning around to see what with. That made hair brushing alot easier especially with my long thick haired 3 year old. Now we only use the Knot genie and love it. This will make School mornings alot easier with getting their hair done fast with less drama and that is a very good thing in my crazy house. So head over and get yours now for back to school!
Right now Knot Genie is doing a Back To School Contest on their Facebook Page where you can win a Knot Genie and $500 for college. That's awesome! All you got to do is submit a short video of WHY YOUR CHILD NEEDS THE KNOT GENIE. The first 50 people automatically get a free Knot Genie! So check out the contest and more info HERE!

day 6 back to school event- Educational Insights Batter Up! review and giveaway ends 9-2
I love finding educational games that my whole family can play or even games I can give to the teachers as present that the whole class can play. So when Educational Insights ask me to review Batter Up! Whole Class Game you bet I jumped at the chance.
Batter Up! Whole Class Game
More of an educational item – but get creative and you can turn this product into an awesomely fun activity! This fun, reusable game provides a quick and convenient alternative to a common classroom whiteboard game. Simply divide up into two teams, write names on the included write-on/wipe-off pieces, and ask any question. If it is answered correctly, spin the spinner to determine the “play”. The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins! A great way to practice any subject. Grades 1+
Our Opinion:
I loved that this game could be used to study any subject. We love to use it to practice spelling words or math problems. We can even use it as a test study guide games for anything and that's my biggest love of it because it helps them study in a fun way. They love it! I use little treats or stickers to reward the winning team and runner ups. Definitely a great and fun way to get your kids to study!

Day 5 Back To School Event- Discount School Supplies review and giveaway ends 9-2
It is that time a year again when we are all scrambling all over to get the best deals for back to school supplies. Lucky I have found the solutions to drive from store to store and all and its called Discount School Supply. They are a website that has pretty much everything you need at very low prices. It will save you time and gas and you can just shop at home in your Jammies and get what your kids need lol.
I got alot of my kids stuff there and all at great prices. For under $40 I got 2 packs of Crayola crayons the 8 packs, 4 sticks of colorations washable glue sticks, two 12 packs of NO. 2 pencils, 2 pencil sharpeners, a set of 24 decorate your own glasses craft kit, set of 12 canvas pencil bags, a double sided upper and lower case alphabet board, set of 8 dry erase markers, 2 packs of 9"x12" construction paper with 50 sheets in each, and a pack of 12 beginner pencils with erasers. Can you believe that? That's alot of stuff for cheap.
So how was the quality of everything? Well first off everything was great brand names and great prices and shipped fast to me. The 2 packs of crayola crayons were great. None were broken and they color great. I know my kindergartner will use these alot!
The Colorations washable glue sticks are awesome. I love glue sticks because they are less messy and gives the kids the freedom of gluing things themselves. The glue dries fast and hold wonderfully.
The No.2 pencils well are pencils and work great and being No.2 I know they can be used for test and at school no problem. They don't break easily and my kids will be using these alot!
The pencil sharpeners are great especially since they have the lids on them to catch the shavings and that's a good thing haha. They sharpen the pencils easily and quickly!
The Double sides Upper & Lower case Alphabet board I got for my Kindergartner. It is a dry eraser board with her alphabet on them and a place where she can trace them and them write them on her own. This will save alot of paper and will help her so much with her writing. This is also what I bought the dry eraser marker for and they work awesome on this board. Love it!
The construction paper is great for my kids and their little art projects they are always making for school. I can never have enough construction paper. This paper was tough and great assortment of colors.
So overall we were very impressed with what we got and love everything. They all did what they needed to at very affordable price. So if your still out shopping for school supplies then you have to check out Discount School Supply and all they have to offer. You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter so stay up to date with their special deals and new products.
We are giving one lucky reader a $25 gift certificate to use at Discount School Supply Yay!

Day 4 Back to school event- Educational Insights KaBAM! game review and giveaway ends 9-2
I am in total love with Educational Insight products. I really am! They have so many learning things that are fun and help my kids. I love the games that help them with their homework. The newest game we got was KaBAM!. KaBAM! is a fast fun card game that helps your kids with English and is so much fun!
KaBAM!
The fastest word-builders win this quick-thinking, head-to-head word game. Two players or teams draw cards and set them down next to each other, face up. Each card features word parts including suffixes, prefixes, single vowels, consonants, and diphthongs. Be the first to build a word by adding one or more letters to the letters on the cards, and you win the round. Now you can play our infamous Facebook Wordplay Wednesdays at home! Ages 7+
Our Opinion:
We love games especially card games. Only my three oldest are old enough to play this game so far but my 6 year old has been watching and is figuring it out she just got to get he whole reading and word spelling thing down first. This game reminds us alot of WAR in a way. You split the deck into 2 even stacks and you play two players or two teams. Then you flip over the first card on the stack both teams do and set them next to each other and the first person to say a word out of the letters down wins the cards. EXAMPLE: one card says OU and the other card says D so you say the word LOUD or DOUGH and win! The person or team who wins all the cards in the end or the most card at the end wins. Not too hard but it can get challenging. It really helps my kids with spelling, reading and word building. I love this! Definitely a fun and great game for the whole family!
So if you love learning toys and games you have to check out Educational Insights and KaBAM!. You will love it and so will your kids and their teachers!
We are giving one lucky reader the game KaBAM! yay!

Day 3back to school event- Terracycle supplies review and giveaway ends 8-26
I always love finding the newest and coolest back to school items for my kids but I do like to also find things that are Earth friendly as well. This is where TerraCycle comes in for me. Me and my kids have seen their things here and there for a few years now but they are really becoming popular lately.
What is TerraCycle? It is a company that is reducing waste by finding innovative uses for materials others deem garbage. TerraCycle pays non-profits and schools to collect used drink pouches, yogurt cups, chip bags and more! TerraCycle also collects industrial waste. The materials are upcycled into affordable, high-quality products. With help from millions of people like you, TerraCycle prevents 1000’s of tons of waste from going to landfills. I think that is a awesome idea!
So what did we get from TerraCycle? well we got some awesome things and I got ideas for Christmas and Birthday presents as well. First off we got a Honest Kids Backpack that is made from the Honest kids juice pouches . It is a tough backpack. My daughter loves it because its cool and another because it is purple ha ha. It is a great size and like I said tough. I see this backpack actually lasting the whole year unlike the last year back pack I got from some place else that started ripping within a few months. I this this is a great idea to reduce waste and make very cute things.
The next thing we got was a Classic Lay's spiral Notebook. My oldest loved this one. With her starting junior high this will be great for her to write notes on. Plus who doesn't love Lay's chips? Only thing is they might make you hungry looking at them ha ha. But definitely a durable notebook and lots of fun.
The last thing we got was Coffee Leaf Paper. Yes paper made from Coffee leafs. This is great computer paper. It has a great tan tint to it and texture look as well. Great for invites, resumes, or just a great looking final report. I love it!
So check out all these great products TerraCycle has plus all the other awesome product they have. It is cool and neat items that help save the earth and lessen landfills and that's always a good thing in my book. There are cleaners, toys and school supplies and more to chose from. I want the skittles speakers for my Ipod that would be awesome ha ha! So head over and check it all out!
We are giving one lucky reader a Notebook, a Pencil case made from juice pouches and some Pencils yay!

Day 2 back to school event Educational Insights- Human body poster and giveaway ends 8-26
I am fascinated with the anything that has to do with anatomy and health. I think it is so amazing how our bodies work. I try to teach my kids about their body as well because I mean there body are the most important thing to take care of and if they know how it works then they understand their bodies alot better. So when we got the chance to try out Inside Out Lenticular Human Body Poster I was excited!
Inside Out ™ Lenticular Human Body Poster
A seriously awesome poster for any science fan! Don’t look away! A magical way to present the carious layers of the human body, the Lenticular Human Body Poster shifts from two kids to their skeletal systems, muscular systems, and organs. You won’t believe your eyes! Grades 1+/Ages 6+
When we got it we were excited to open it and check it out. The kids immediately thought it was pretty cool. They always loved those cards you move to change the scene and this is exactly what this does. You look at it one way you see two kids standing there. Then look at it different then you see their bones or organ systems or muscular system. This was pretty neat. It was a good size so they could really see the details. The only thing I would change is there should be some labeling on it so they can learn what they are actually looking at. Other than that this would be a great poster for the kids that loves human science or high school or college kids learning biology. So head over to Educational insights and check out the Inside Out ™ Lenticular Human Body Poster.

Day 1 of Back To School Event- Prefense Hand Sanitizer review and giveaway ends 8-26
School is a breeding ground for germs. The true is my kids get sick more while at school then over the Summer. Now the school my kids go to are big with hand sanitizer. The main thing they ask you to donate is hand sanitizer. I think this is great! So now what hand sanitizer works the best and the best value? Well I just heard about Prefense and I was intrigued.
What is Prefense? Well it is a silica based foaming hand sanitizer that contains No alcohol! Prefense is made of natural ingredients and has absolutely NO alcohol in it! It also protects you for 24 hours or 10 hand washings! It is also non-toxic and safe for kids. Also since it is silica based it doesn't dry out your hand like the alcohol based sanitizers. Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more. We fight germs that other hand sanitizers can’t. Because “one spray lasts all day” our 1.5 oz Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer offers 120 applications, costing only $.08 per day, compared to $1.20 per day with alcohol hand sanitizers. These are all awesome things!
We got a small sample size bottle to try out. We have loved it. Its not sticky or stinky like the other hand sanitizers. It goes on fast and dries fast too. I love that it protects you so long and last through 10 hand washes. That right there is awesome to me! This is perfect for back to school to keep in your kids back packs or give as teacher presents. Trust me this would be a hit for teachers! I am definitely gonna buy me some more! So head over to Prefense to get your bottle or you can get it on Amazon. Follow Prefense on Facebook and Twitter to learn more and great specials as well!
We are giving one lucky US reader a big 8 oz bottle of Prefense for back to school yay!
