Get Organized With BusyBodyBooks!

2009 Holiday Gift Guide

The Organzier/The Not-So-Organizer/Students/Busy Moms/Business Women/Everyone

I love the idea of being organized, but I have a really hard time with the execution of it! With my girls growing older and my husband changing job positions and now having a continually changing schedule, I have a really hard time keeping up with everything in my over-scheduled mind! Thanks to BusyBodyBoo Organizers, I don't have to!

BusyBodyBook Organizers are more than your average day planner. The BBB GRID format allows a clear view of your daily and weekly schedule, not just for you, but for the entire family! With 5 columns, each family member can each have their own space so you can clearly see everyone's schedule so you are never double booked. But BBB Organizers are for more than just busy families. They are also great for keeping up with work projects, personal goals or school.

I love that BusyBodyBook Organizers are large enough that I can actually read what I've written in them. They also have a protective plastic cover on the front and back so it's pages protected from spills and rain. Other great bonuses of the BBB Organizer are the To-Do Lists which are perforated to tear out and slip in your purse or pocket, pockets on the front and back covers, the To Doodles opposite the weekly calendars to jot down notes, goals and such, and a bookmark to keep your place even when the book is closed!

About Your Time LLC not only offers BusyBodyBook Organizers, but also Student Planners and Wall Calendars. You'll never use a regular calender again!

To purchase, visit BusyBodyBook.com. Prices vary from $12.95 - $17.95, depending on which organizer you choose. If you order now, you can use the code FREEBBB in the comment box at checkout to receive a free 2009 BBB to finish out this year!

Eating Healthier with Kellogg's

Everyone these days is concerned with eating healthier. We all especially want our kids to eat healthier and take in all of the nutrients they need each day. One thing we can all use more of is fiber. Fiber helps control weight, keep the digestive system working well, plays a role in the health of your heart and can even reduce the risk of diabetes.

Kellogg's Froot Loops and Apple Jacks is making getting fiber in our kids a lot easier with their new fiber enhanced cereals. Same great taste, but with added fiber to keep your kids digestive system on the right track! To find out how much fiber is recommended on a daily basis, check out the Kellogg's Fiber Guide. You'll be surprised at how much you're really missing! But Froot Loops and Apple Jacks now offers a whopping 10% of the daily recommended amounts!

We had the opportunity to hold our own taste testing session to see if we could tell the difference between the regular cereals and the new fiber enhanced ones. When I hear added fiber, I tend to expected a box of sticks and cardboard flavored dullness. I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly could not tell a difference in taste!

Watch below to see what Kristin thought of regular Froot Loops vs Froot Loops w/Fiber.



And we can't leave Sarah out! She's trying out the new fiber enhanced Apple Jacks and loves them!

We were all impressed with the flavor of both cereals and every morning Kristin announces that she's having her Froot Loops with fiber! Once I explained what fiber is and how it benefits your body, she became very proud of eating a little bit healthier and was even prouder that healthy eating tastes so good!

"I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Kellogg’s and received boxes of Froot Loops and Apple Jacks and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate."

Fabreze Home Collection & Giveaway

I love for my home to smell fresh and clean. But regular air freshers are often unsightly and candles aren't always an option with grown men who knock things over kids around.

Imagine my delight when Fabreze introduced it's new Home Collection with the elegant Flameless Luminary, Scented Reed Diffuser, refreshing Room Sprays and the long lasting Soy Candles!

Flameless Luminary:
Fabreze Flameless Luminaries are an elegant way to spread a wonderful scent throughout your room without the dangers of candles. They are battery operated and give off a gently flickering glow to add warmth to any home. The interchangeable shades offer a variety of scents and colors that perfectly match any decor or mood. My favorite scent is the Cranberry Pear. It smells so luscious!

Reed Diffuser:
Fabreze Reed Diffusers add style and long-lasting fragrance to any room! They are simple to use and with each turn of the reeds, they bring on a fresh burst of scent. My daughters love turing them each day and mine has lasted for quite a while now. I can definitely tell when they've been turned!

Room Spray:
Fabreze Home Collection Room Sprays have scents that are more elegant that their previous sprays. The Willow Blossom scent is refreshing and gentle while the Pomegranate Mango is light and fruity! I love the smaller can and the design is nice enough to have it setting out for easier use instead of hiding it away in the cabinets.

Soy Candle:
Fabreze Foy Candles boast a longer burning time than traditional candles. I believe it! I've burnt mine time and time again and I still have over half of the candle remaining. I love the Green Tea Citrus scent for my bedroom and the colors coordinate perfectly!

WIN IT:
MyBlogSpark is offering one blessed reader an $20 Walmart Gift Card to purchase your own Fabreze Home Collection scent products!

TO ENTER:
Tell me which product and scent you would like best.

Guinness Book Of World Records 2010

2009 Holiday Gift Guide

Everyone/Inquiring Minds/Kids

Want to see the world's longest fingernails?
Wonder how many gathered in the world's largest gathering of Santas?
How about the largest number of rattlesnakes held in someone's mouth? Ewww!

Well, pick up a copy of Guinness World Records 2010 and put your mind to ease! It lists all of the above and thousands more records, both normal and the utterly strange!

We received a copy of this fascinating book and my girls haven't put it down! They LOVE pouring over its pages and discovering new, cool and weird things that it holds. They love keeping it in the car for any length of trip and when their friends ride along, there is always entertainment!

Some of the pictures and records are disgusting! (I can't stand to look at the long fingernails! ICK!) But they are all captivating and interesting for both kids and adults. We've looked through it dozens of times and still find something new and cool each time.

Guinness World Records 2010 would make a fantastic gift for anyone! It's a great conversational piece and coffee table book. It is available for purchase at Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, and various local retailers for approximately $20.


Oh...and by the way, the largest number of Santa Claus ever gathered is 12,965 in Derry City, North Ireland! That's a LOT of milk and cookies!

Magnificent Manicure Kit

2009 Holiday Gift Guide
Girls Girls Girls!

Girls work hard! School, texting, primping, dancing, walking, sports, etc. And girls need a little pampering after all that hard work!

With Elmer's Scientific Explorer Magnificent Manicure Kit, girls not only get a good pampering, but they are learning too! Science is everywhere, from the food we eat to the beauty products we use every day.

Elmer's Magnificent Manicure Kit teaches girls about cosmetic chemistry while enjoying a manicure or facial scrub. Not only is it fun to use, but they get to make most of the elements themselves! Girls can create their own custom scented lotions, make crystal mud, buff and shine their nails and so much more!

I have two tween age daughters who are as different as night and day. One is prissy and loves make-up, jewelry and anything sparkly. The other loves to explore, catch bugs and play soccer. However, they both LOVE to do make-overs on each other and their friends. This kit was right up their alley! They created, they stirred, they mixed and experimented. And then...each got a chance to relax while the other did the pampering. They turned their room into their own personal spa and spent hours doing nails and facials and foot scrubs! And boy did they ever smell...um...fragrant! LOL! My daughters had a blast with this kit and have shared with their friends about it. They've also asked if there are any other kits and have added them to their Christmas lists!

The kit includes lotion base, bath salt, crystal mud, cucumber melon fragrance, green dye, 2 toe a, a soaking tray, measuring spoon, mixing spoon, pipette, nail buffer, pumice stone and an activity guide.

The Magnificent Manicure Kit is a perfect Christmas gift for girls ages 8 and up. You can find it online at ToysRUs.com for $19.99 or at local retailers.
