CSN Stores Review



For all my readers that participated in my 1st Birthday Bash you know I did a review for CSN Stores about a toy chest for my son. Recently I had another opportunity to do a review or giveaway and I wanted this time to share the great stores at CSN with you, my readers! So in about a week for the Valentine's Day event I will be hosting a giveaway for $20 gift certificate that can be used at any of the 200+ stores CSN has on any product. It does not cover shipping but many of their awesome products come with free shipping. Or you can use it towards a larger purchase.



While I was checking out all of the great stores CSN has I found some really great stuff in the Modern Furniture section. Our house does not have much in the way of a style and some simple decor additions and lighting would really change the whole look. I found countless items that I added to my wish list of items! With tax season giving everyone refunds I thought what a great time to do a big furniture purchase.

 Gus Modern carries a wide variety of living room furniture that has that sleek modern look. I loved the Sparrow Glider for $850. It comes with Free Shipping, which I love. This rocker looks nice and would be a perfect way to rock my little guy to sleep at night without looking like a baby rocker.



One brand I thought had great stuff is Thomas Paul. He has great pillows, towels, coasters, dishes in a sleek and simple design. My favorites are the Sea of Life Dinner Plates $40 and the Bath Shell Mat $40.




Check Back in about a week for the Giveaway and I will be posting about it on my facebook and twitter as well. If you find a great deal on Modern Furniture I would love to know and share it with my readers.

JustPaperRoses.com Review and $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway




Just Paper Roses is a great website for fun and unique gifts. They have tons of Valentine's Day gifts as well as Anniversary gifts. The one gift that cracked me up is their famous toilet paper! What loved one wouldn't get a smile on their face seeing this adorable tp in their bathroom. I switched our tp in our bedroom bathroom right before I knew my husband was going to go in there. I waited for a second then heard him laugh and open the door. His first question was "Where did you get this?" I was sneaky and kept it hidden until that morning. The toilet paper says " I Love You From Top to Bottom" You can see more of their cute and fun Valentines gifts here.




We both got a laugh out of it and then I proceeded to dress my son in a decoration of Valentines tp! He looked so cute! Of course we used the rest of the roll in the bathroom.
We were also sent the cutest Valentine Bear for my little guy. He loves stuffed animals and he shrieked with the cutest amount of joy when I handed it to him. It is very soft and wears a cute Valentines tshirt.


The site is full of cute gifts. One of my favorites is the Golf Toilet Paper. It made me laugh and I know my hubby would get a laugh out of it. This would be great for a birthday or Father's day.
They have Paper Roses of course and so much more. My favorite set of roses is the Just Candy Roses. They are made with the Dot Candies that are on paper. I loved those candies as a kid!!

I Want A Dog CD Review



This CD made me laugh. My son loved the I want a Dog song. He just learned to say "DOG" so he was yelling "DOG" when he heard the word. It was very cute.  We do have a dog and he adores her. This song would melt any dog lovers heart. It sings of floppy ears and being your best friend. I know many families cannot have a dog for many reasons, just as I cannot have a cat since I am allergic but the song is just so cute! It might make you want one! There are also so many ways you can be a dog friend! You can volunteer to walk shelter dogs, something my father in law does. Or play with a dog from a family member or friend who has one like my sister does for her sons. We can all in some way or another fulfill the pleas of kids who "Want A Dog"! A great thing about this CD is that 20% of the profits form each CD purchased will be donated to the North Shore Animal League of America.

 Song #4 "Turn That Phone Off" was powerful to me and in a way somewhat sad that a song like this has to be made. I know it is a great message, we do need to hang up our phones. It is just sad how in the song the kids are asking mom to get off the phone and listen to them how they talk about their day and at a soccer game how a parent misses the action because they are on the phone. I remind myself sometimes with the computer too that I need to make sure I am not ignoring my son. The song is great for kids because they do need to be the ones to tell their parents to hang up the phone! This is definitely a new generation of parents that we have cell phones, the internet and music at our fingertips. This song is a good reminder to wake up and pay attention to our kids before they grow to the stage where it is "don't look at me" rather than "look what I can do!"


This CD has parts when real kids are talking and I found that part to be cute. The song "Birthday Parties Always End In Tears" made me laugh. My parents have a few birthday pictures of me in tears. For me it was because I did not want to wear a dress. The song cracked me up. This song is a reminder to keep parties simple and small! 
My son did not seem to like this CD too much. The songs didn't capture his attention as much as other CDs we have reviewed. I think maybe it is a little more big kid songs. The first song he did like and I did too.


* I received a free copy of the CD mentioned in this review from a PR company.

Juno Jr Welcome to Harmonica Springs CD Review



After reviewing a Juno Baby DVD we were thrilled to be able to review the CD. This CD is Juno Jr Welcome to Harmonica Springs. It is so cute! My son was carrying around the CD case and was happy so it didnt make it into the picture! We were also sent some very cute Juno magnets. You can see all the Juno Baby CDs available at the website here.

One of the main reasons I love Juno is her sweet voice. She always sounds so happy and upbeat. My son loves the beats and rhythmic music that he sways and dances to it. He of course loved the opening song because it is Juno's theme song and he remembered it from the DVD.
I have a few favorites on the CD and so did my son. My is "It's Your Heart That Sings" it made me smile so much and its how I feel about my little guy. He has such an ear for beats. Music is the one thing he will fall asleep within minutes to. I also liked "Goodnight Juno". Having already watched the DVD I could picture all the Juno Baby characters as they were singing. My son really liked "The Sound of a Train" and "Friends Make a Symphony".


The CD also has instrumental music of the songs. I knew my son would love these ones and he did. He does the cutest sway when its mellow songs and when its a beat he can dance to sometimes he was dancing so fast he fell over and laughed.

I think the CD is perfect to buy after seeing the DVDs. It allows you to bring Juno and her friends with you in the car. I also like that I can put it in the CD player and let him listen without having to watch the tv.
If you have not discovered Juno Baby yet I definitely recommend giving it a try!


For more info on Juno Baby and her friends you can check her out on facebook and twitter.

Juno Baby sent me a free copy of the CD mentioned in this review for free.
