Land’s End

James recently got new water shoes from Land’s End.  Summer is right around the corner (although today doesn’t feel like it is) and every year we purchase him water shoes for the beach.  I have to say – I have never seen water shoes like these.  These look and feel like everyday tennis shoes but the material is mesh like and there are tiny drainage holes at the bottom of the shoe.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes.  The best part is the price tag – they are less than $25 on sale.  If you spend any time at the beach, lake, or outdoors this summer protect your child’s feet with Land’s End water shoes for boys or girls.

Mr. Beam’s Ceiling Light

We got a couple of these lights to use in our crawl space under the house.  Whoever built our home thought it would be a great idea to put the furnace/AC unit in a 3″ high dirt floor crawl space that is black as night.  In order to change our filter we had to crawl under the space to find  the light switch using a flashlight.  I’m not sure about you but not being able to see what is in the dark isn’t my favorite thing.  The Mr. Beam’s Ceiling Light is motion sensored and turned on every time without fail.  In addition it lit up the entire crawl space with no problem.  We love this thing!

Voodoo Blend

My husband drives an older Nissan Pathfinder with leather seats.  However, the leather is rather lack luster.  Last weekend he tried the Voodoo Leather Rejuvenator and although no product would restore his seats to their original condition, the Voodoo did a remarkable job.  It made the leather darker, softer, and more “hydrated” in our opinion.  I’m not sure if it is my imagination but it made the leather SMELL like leather too…an added bonus for the new car feel. You can buy it now for $12.99 on Amazon.

Wii Country Dance

Our family spends a lot of time doing Wii together so when we got a chance to do the Wii Country Dance we couldn’t say no. Unfortunately our living room isn’t large enough to experience the full potential of this game, but we sure had fun trying. I am a particular fan of the Billy Cyrus song myself.

Country Dance features more than 25 songs from country music’s biggest names of past and present including Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Sugarland, Johnny Cash, Miley Cyrus, Brooks & Dunn, Zac Brown Band, Tim McGraw and more.
Country Dance is easily accessible to newcomers and familiar to fans of the popular rhythm dance genre of videogames. With integrated friendly cooperative modes, anyone can pick-up a Wii Remote™ and get moving along with their favorite dance partners. For more experienced players, the perfection mode assesses each dancer’s skill and gives a score only when their move is a perfect hit.
Country Dance for Wii™ is rated E10+ for Everyone by the ESRB and is now available for $29.99.

NCircle Word

If you have a little one the Complete Word World 16 Dvd Collection (Pbs Educational Wordworld) will keep them learning and entertained. James is getting a bit too old for these now but when he was younger he loved them. We have since passed them on to our friend Lucas to enjoy. The series teaches vocabulary, phonics, letter development, spelling, and a bunch of other things without being boring – a must to keep little ones interested.

La Creme

I was sent four flavors of the REAL DIARY creamer a couple months ago and finally finished the last bottle. It comes in four flavors – original, hazelnut, french vanilla, and cinnamon vanilla. The most noteworthy thing about the creamer was that unlike other flavored creamers this was not too sweet. La Creme uses naturally flavored, rBST- and lactose-free ingredients. I will definitely buy it again if my store starts carrying it.
