Product review: Wee Squeak Shoes

THE MOST ANNOYING SHOES EVER!

We went to a family birthday party this weekend and one of the kids there (not a relative) had these shoes on. They look normal right? Well hiding in each heal is a very loud squeaker (like you would fine in a dog toy), so with every step, hop, jump you make with each foot you hear a very loud SQUEAK! 


Now put these shoes on a 3 year old kid and guess how many times you hear that squeak within a 2 hours time? I'll tell you... about a billion. At least that is how it felt in my brain... each squeak was like someone poking my brain with a small pin.


I guess the only upside someone might have to these shoes is you know where your kid is at all times through out your house. But a tiny cat bell would also do the trick and would be way less annoying.


Thank goodness my girls do not own these and if they got them as gifts they would be set on fire! 


Do you have someone you don't really like... give their kids these shoes.

Product Review - White tank top

I love white tank tops!

I wear one almost everyday, under sweaters, under shirts, t-shirts, to bed. They are wonderful. I have two brands I like the best. Sure I try other brands but I always go back for more of these.

#1: H&M white spaghetti strap tank. They are a bit longer than you can usually find which I like having that bit of white peeking out. They sell them in every color. (photo is not of the H&M tank, I couldn't find a photo of it.)

#2: Hanes tagless undershirt/wife beater, they are so comfortable, you just can't go wrong with this under your t-shirt or paired with some pajama pants for bed.

Product Review - Magic Noodles

Amelia was having a friend sleep over for the first time so I bought the girls some Magic Noodles for a craft project. These things are so cool! They stick together after you dab the end on a wet sponge. They had a ball making flowers, glasses, rainbows and crowns.

Pros:
- This is a "green" product, made from cornstarch and dissolves completely in water! Love that!
- It gave us a good hour of creative fun!
- When you are ready to throw them away just put them in a sink with water and watch them melt away.

Con:
-They are a little fragile, Amelia's crown broke the next day. This really is only a "con" for the girls since I didn't really want these things in my house forever.

I would definitely buy these again!

Product Review - Tube Fee TP

I have not purchased this yet... but I will.

I love this idea!!!!

I read an article that says 85% of people do not recycle the TP tubes (this is shocking to me, how hard is it to recycle these???) Removing all the tubes from TP would save over 160 million pounds of waste from being added to landfills nationwide!

I will write a review once I have tested it out. If you can't wait please give it a try yourself and let me know how it goes.

Product Review - Kleenex Hand Towel Review

This is not really a product review since I have not purchased or used this item. It is more of a product observation. I saw the commercial for these Kleenex Hand Towels and was very bothered by the thought of them. I just don't see them as being a "green" item. When we know the effects of all the trash that is thrown away it really surprises me when companies come out with a products that is so anti planet friendly (they are not even made with recycled materials, they are made with 100% virgin fiber/trees.

I figure a family of four (like mine with two young children) would use about 20 - 30 of these a day. Ugh! I just couldn't do it. I know in public restrooms a product like this is necessary. But in a home where I could put a fresh towel out daily and never add trash to our planet or cut down trees... there is no contest... it's cloth hand towels for us.

Product Review - Bias Tape Maker

I finally bought a Dritz bias taper maker and I am kicking myself for not spending the $5 for this sooner! This thing is awesome! You cut the strips, put it through and iron! No more burning my fingers trying to fold the fabric myself! I used it to make the straps for this dress I made for Anna. I will be buying a few more sizes of these for sure!

Anna picked out the fabric and she loves her new summer dress!

Product Review - Lysol No Touch Soap

I saw a commercial for this and had to try it. Mainly because my girls are always making a big mess with the foam soap pump we had. Anna would put it on the toilet lid and pump making a mess all over the lid. So this gadget caught my eye!

When the girls saw it they were very excited to use it! The price was not bad, $9.99 for the auto pump, one container of soap and it came with two batteries! I bought the cucumber splash scent, which my husband hated the smell! The girls and I liked the smell.

Well... it's awesome! I love this thing! I have not had to wipe soap off the toilet seat since we got it. It squirts out the perfect amount of soap, no mess, so Mama is happy!

The down side... they sell refills bottles for about $4 a bottle. I always refill my pumps with large tubs of soap from Sam's Club. This cuts down on the plastic waste. So there was no way I was going to buy a refill every month. So once it was empty I gave Brian the job of figuring out how to pop off the lid so we could refill it with our own bulk soap and with a scent Brian likes. He used a screwdriver to pry the lid off and then popped it back on, so you can refill it yourself.

As the commercial says... never touch a germy soap pump again!

As I say... one less mess for Mama to clean up it always good!
