Blair Candy Review

August 15, 2011 By Anne

I love candy as much as the next person, but my hubby loves it more!

Finding old fashioned candies or unusual candies is not always easy.

I found a place that carries all kinds of candy!! Blair Candy.

Blair Candy has everything!!Old fashioned candies, concession candy, themes candies. You can buy in bulk or individual. Blair Candy has been around for over 70 years, so you know they know their candy! They sell wholesale or retail – check them out!

I was able to review the Smarties Lolli Pops. I haven’t seen these in years! basically it’s a big smarties on a stick. Very yummy!! Some are tart and some are sweet.

I recently had some friends over for a movie party and everyone grabbed one and enjoyed! Plus I took some to work for the girls to enjoy!

I received the above candy to facilitate this review. My opinions are my own.

August 15, 2011 By Anne

Ever have that moment that you don’t know what to make for dinner? You’ve tried the same old recipe over and over again and need something different.

Now you can check out Ragu – Mom’s the Word on Dinner on Facebook for more ideas!

We used to use the same brand of sauce all the time. Then I started to buy whatever what was on sale. That included Ragu. I love the fact that is has 2 servings of veggies in every half cup! My kids don’t get all the veggies they’re supposed too. 🙁

Ragu is now our number one spaghetti sauce. We rarly buy any other brand.

I love being to go on to Ragu’s Facebook page and coming up with alternative dinners that I know my family will love!

Ragu would like to give on emOmmy Has to Work reader a $20 Vis gift card to have dinner on them!

I received a jar of Ragu and a $20 GC too! This does not affect my opinions – we love it! This is a Mom Select review.

Paper Jamz Pro Series Microphone Review/Giveaway

August 9, 2011 By Anne

Do you like karaoke or just like to sing in the shower or in the car? We are a family of singers! My husband actually used to sing in a band back in the day.

Paper Jamz has a cool new musical instrument, Pro Series Microphone, that you can sing along with.

Using unique Perfect Pitch technology, the microphone analyzes and tunes the singer’s pitch in real-time, with five separate modes: Solo/Duet, Auto Harmony, Auto Vibrato, Chorus, and Auto. It was so cool to be able to sing with this.

The microphone comes with 2 pre-loaded songs, but you can download an app on your computer and add your own music to it. We had no idea what the songs were that were loaded, so I went to work on getting my own music. It took a few times to download and then a few more times getting the music transferred. This could have been operator error, though. It’s still easy enough to do though, the microphone comes with a USB cable and the app is free.

We got the songs downloaded and the kids took over singing right away!

It’s really cool how it adds chorus and auto harmony. I would love to get another one so the kids won’t fight about it. Paper Jamz has other instruments too, like the guitar or drums.

Check out Hunter signing!

The only thing I did not like about this is that it only allows 3 songs. It is not hard to change them, but I would have preferred more. Other than that I love this and so do my kids!! Great gift for birthdays!!

Paper Jamz would like to give one Mommy Has to Work reader a Pro Series Microphone to try for yourself!

I’m trying Rafflecopter for the first time, let me know what you think! I received the above product to facilitate this review, opinions are my own.

DaGeDar – Cool New Racing Toy

August 6, 2011 By Anne

I was invited to try a cool new racing toy by MomSelect. My son was super excited and couldn’t wait to open up the box! DeGeDar is the latest from the same company that brought us ZhuZhu Pets.

Basically you have a ramp with a loop and the balls go down the ramp at high speeds and you try to land the balls in a cup. There is also a launcher that you can use with the ramp or by itself.

The balls have cool characters on them that you can go the DaGeDar website and unlock your character.

We had several of my son’s friends over to play. Everyone seemed to love playing and racing and talking about how cool their ball is.

I think the person that liked them the best was my 3 year old daughter, Savannah. Up early this morning, she was playing with them again! She’s getting pretty good!

I received the DaGeDar ramp, balls and accessories to facilitate this review. I passed out balls to some of the guests as well. This did not affect my opinions. This is a MomSelect review.

Back to school is here!!! Want something special to give to your student to make the school year less daunting? Try Frecklebox. They have some great personalized school supplies.

Freckelbox is one of my sponsors for the Back to School Giveaway Hop starting August 7-14th.

I’ve gotten a few different items from Frecklebox, like the personalized book I reviewed last year and the personalized puzzle I bought for Savannah. The quality is great! I have no complaints at all. I recommend them to everyone! I like to get gifts that have the child’s name on it. It adds just that extra touch.

So what does Frecklebox have for Back to School? Lots of stuff! Binders, folders, journals, bookmarks, lunch boxes – these are so darn cute! There are notebooks and clipboards too. All the items come in a ton of designs for girls, boys, young children and older children. It’s almost hard to choose which one to get. Even I like some of the designs for myself. Maybe I’ll have to get a journal for me!

Frecklebox is sending me a binder for Hunter. I haven’t received it yet, but you can see the picture. I’m not worried though, cause like I said everything else I’ve received has been great!
