Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE {There's a Party in my City} Review


This show was way awesome! I was about 10-15 rows away from the stage. My kids had so much FUN! And of course, I did TOO!

When we arrived to the Fox Theater in St. Louis, everything went smooth until we got inside. We were scrunched so tightly, like sardines waiting for the doors to open. They weren't letting people inside until 5:00pm, when the show was supposed to start. So, finally we make it through the doors, show them our tickets, btw they had no security means what so ever. No one check my bags at all. Then we get to another room, waiting again! I went to TWO different lines before I said enough is enough, my kids were screaming and crying because they wanted to sit down. I was like just take me to my sit I am NOT waiting in another line! So, we got to our seats and then things were fine. The Fox Theater was definitely NOT big enough for a big show like Yo Gabba Gabba, it's too small. It was just as rough getting out of the building after the show.

Other than the uncomfortable conditions we started out in, the show was spectacular!

Proactiv's Interview with Katy Perry!

Proactiv Solutions Review

Same Formula, NEW Technology: Micro Crystal
New Proactiv Solution has be formulated with an exclusive micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide, designed to allow the key active fighting ingredient to absorb more quickly into pores. Typical benzoyl peroxide particles on average are 25% larger than the pore and can vary in size. The new benzoyl peroxide in Proactiv is approximately 1/10 the size of the pore, and the particles are evenly sized and uniform throuout the formula.

The even particle size and overall distribution of the new micro crystal benzoyl peroxide may help prevent clumping of benzoyl crystals, which allows for better absorption into the pore and may minimize the occurance of the dryness and redness sometimes associated with benzoyl peroxcide.

Purchase:
Retail is $49.95/Proactiv Preferred Customer price is $39.95 or visit www.proactiv.com or call 1.888.819.2019

Get to know I Green Mommy {Spotlight}




My name is Rachel McGuire, and as of 2010 (before august) I'm 39yrs old. Born in Ohio, but have lived in SE Missouri since I was 13 yrs old. Married with 3 beautiful children quickly growing into adults. My passions are my family (children), pets, Cooking, Wine, camping out in the summer building snowmen in the winter and Doing Every craft I can get my hands on in my spare time.
I have been creating green products (recycling fabrics and found items into completely new items) for well over 18 years now. I've always Given my creations away to friends, family or to whomever I felt needed it more. One day a friend told me, if I'm going to work that hard I should sell some to help fund my "obsessions" so, It was about 3 years ago that I finally decided to set up shop to see if anyone else would be interested in the items as well. At that time I had my OWN website and was creating all natural Bath and body products from scratch.
It was a year ago that I switched gears toward my other crafty passions and opened the Etsy shop. It all started because I am a Craft-a-holic (raised by a craft-a-holic). I have found that a fantastic way to de-stress is to do some sort of crafting, lately i've been sewing, but I love to crochet, paint (tole mostly), scrapbooking (traditional but mostly Digital using my Degree in Computer Graphic Arts Design). I very rarely "craft" for myself, I usually always have someone else in mind when the idea's hit me to "create", which is why my items make great gifts. My inspiration comes from my children and pets, and what I see and feel from friends & other people's creativity and energy.
I keep myself VERY busy, when I'm not playing mom, wife or Maid. I am crafting my little heart out and Blogging about it on one of my three blogs.

http://igreenmommy.blogspot.com ( the blog associated with my Green Etsy shop ) , http://amomsrantings.blogspot.com ( the blog where I talk about family parenting and my obsessions of entering giveaways, doing product reviews and Sponsoring my own Giveaways of my Etsy Green products ). and http://raeleidesigns.blogspot.com ( where I post my latest graphics creations when I am doing my Digital Scrapbooking ).

Ebeanstalk Pacifier Review Opportunity

We've been asked to test a brand new children's pacifier that could soon be available on the market for children ages 6 months to 24 months.



This pacifier is manufactured by a leading brand in the child nursing category. The main objective of this test is to see what share of

children take this pacifier vs. what share reject it. Results from this

test will help determine how viable this new product will be

commercially.



IF YOU ARE A BLOGGER, WE ASK THAT YOU DON'T BLOG ABOUT THIS NEW PACIFIER. Instead, we will give you a free age-appropriate toy that you may blog about if you'd like.



If you would like to participate, please reply to mwhitaker@ebeanstalk.com with your mailing address and the specific age in months of your child (must be 6-24 months of age).



After you receive the pacifier and have a few days to try it, we will email you the link to a survey where you can tell us your experiences with

this new product. Specific instructions will arrive with the pacifiers

concerning how to use them for this test. Each respondent will receive

two identical pacifiers.



If you do not have a child 6 to 24 months, but know moms that do, feel free to forward this.



Thanks in advance for your support,



Meg Whitaker
