• About

    I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.

    Proflowers Gift Basket Review

    July 10th, 2010

    Proflowers does not just sell flowers in fact there’s an entire assortment of gift baskets, plants, cakes, wine, teddy bears and lots more. I was given the chance to review a birthday gift basket. Of course I chose one of my all time favorite things ever, chocolate – the Ghiarardelli Chocolate Basket. What a joy!

    Inside the basket you’ll find:

  • 2 Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares with Mint Filling
  • 2 Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares with Caramel Filling
  • 3 Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares
  • 3 Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Squares
  • Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Bar with Caramel Filling
  • 2 Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Bars
  • 2 Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Bars with Mint Filling
  • Red Coffee Mug
  • 2 (.85 oz.) Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Hot Chocolate
  • 2 oz. Ghirardelli Ground Coffee
  • 4.4 oz. Ghirardelli Masterpiece Collection
  • Of course, the chocolate is delicious. There’s enough to keep me happy for days. My husband says the coffee is out of this world and he’s not waiting to treat himself to it. The coffee mug is huge! I can even use it as a soup mug. The basket itself is fantastic. It’s not one of those cheap baskets that will bend when you put a few things in it. It’s quite heavy and the handles are sturdy. I’ll be reusing this basket as a bread basket.

    All this for only $49.98. You can ship any of the items from Proflowers next day or a specific date in the future and it is guaranteed to arrive on the date you select. Standard shipping is $9.99 and there is a lot of detail on the shipping process. For example, it’s recommended to ship the basket when someone will be there to accept the item. No one wants melted chocolate, right?

    Choosing a gift from Proflowers is easy. There’s a huge selection. The website is simple to use and you can call their customer service phone number for any questions. The packaging of the items is lovely too. I’d be happy to receive a Proflowers gift basket!


    Epsom Salt Pampering Mother’s Day Gift

    May 5th, 2010

    You can pamper Mom on Mother’s Day with Epsom Salt.  Epsom Salt  is easy to use, easy to find in your local supermarket or drug store and it’s inexpensive, but there’s a lot you can do with it. You can learn about gardening ideas, easing muscle strain and more from the Epsom Salt Council.

    Some Mother’s Day Gifts With Epsom Salt:

    1. Make an Exfoliating Cream: Mix 2 cups of Epsom Salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Use the mixture to gently scrub away dry skin patches.
    2. Make a Facial Cream: Mix 1/2 TSP of Epsom Salt into cleansing cream for a deep-pore cleansing. Massage on skin. Rinse with cool water. Pat dry.
    3. For a Relaxing Soak: Add two cups of Epsom Salt to the water in a standard-sized bathtub; soak for at least 12 minutes, three times weekly. For an extra treat, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil for a refreshing scent.
    4. Foot Scrub:  Mix 2 cups of Epsom Salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Use the mixture to gently scrub the heels and dry, rough patches on the feet. Repeat every few days.

    Pamper Mom this Mother’s Day with Epsom Salt. Make up one or all of these gifts and put in a pretty jar. Don’t forget to help her out and run her bath, do her facial and pamper her tootsies!


    On The Cuff Review Mother’s Day Gift Guide Event

    April 30th, 2010

    On The Cuff prevents water from running down your arms when you’re washing your face, washing dishes, bathing baby, etc. An unusual idea, but once you use it, you won’t want to live without it. Make your Mom smile this Mother’s Day with On The Cuff!

    She’ll wonder what it is, but when she tries it, she’ll probably say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” As Moms we have our hands in water a lot and who wants wet sleeves or wet arms? On The Cuff solves that problem easily.

    ON THE CUFF™ – the “one size fits all” design is easy to use and comfortable to wear.

    • The unique stretch material of the cuffs allows you to slip onto your wrists without tearing.
    • Requires snug fit, push cuffs up your arm to tighten if needed.
    • If cuffs get heavily soiled rinse with warm soapy water, squeeze out excess water and allow to dry.

    My Review: I have to admit, I thought this was an odd item at first. After using it a few times, I realized the time it saved though. I was a lot less frustrated when doing my every day tasks. I used it when washing those dishes and things I don’t put in the dishwasher, when I cleaned off the counters and when I helped wash my daughter’s long hair. And no wet arms or sleeves. They were easy to pull over my hands and then fit on my arms. I like the mesh bag so to keep them in and dry.

    Purchase: Buy a mesh bag with 2 cuffs costs $7.99 online.

    This Mother’s Day Gift Guide event has been ongoing throughout April. Please visit to see other reviews and giveaways.

    Mesh bag and two cuffs provided by On The Cuff through a review opportunity at The Product Review Place.
