Pretty Little Liars Soundtrack CD

I love music. I love all kinds. So when I was given the chance to review the new Pretty Little Liars Soundtrack I was excited. I have watch it and and love the music.  This CD has a combination of R&B and soul and Pop and a little rock to it. It is a awesome CD.

One of my favorite songs on it is Beauty queen. It has a awesome beat and I love the meaning its getting across. It is saying that nobody's perfect. That person you think is the Beauty Queen, perfect, beautiful, and smart still has their falls and issues. This hits home for me because I envy alot of people and down on myself alot and I know I shouldn't but it is hard when they look so flawless and happy and this song let me know its just a mirage that nothing is perfect!

The second song I love is I Wont. I love Colbie Caillat and is it a great soulful song. Its about falling in love with someone and them telling you they just want to be friends even though you love them and gave them your heart. I know that feeling and it really is impossible to go from in love to just being friends. I feel for her in the song and it just makes me love the song so much more.


So if you love music or love Pretty Little Liars then you have to check out the new Soundtrack CD.Catch Pretty Little Liars Mondays 8/7c on ABC Family, and visit iTunes to preview songs and pick up a copy of the album here: http://bit.ly/e2S527 .

Simple Solution Pet Products review & Giveaway ends 3-18

Do you have Dogs or Cats? Are you house training or litter training them? Do you have that dog or cat smell in your house? Well I got the solutions for you. It's called Simple Solution. They have everything from training pads, diapers, carpet cleaners, and even grooming supplies for you dogs and cats!

I have always had cats since I was little little and I have carried that on with my children too. So 7 months ago we got a kitten, a male kitten. He has done really good with litter box training with very few accidents but there have been some and I can tell you they are the hardest smells and stains to get out. Simple Solution sent me their Extreme Stain + Odor Remover. I was excited to use this well because I have tried alot of different products out on the market and very few have worked so I am always looking for more products that actually works and not just a waste of money. Between a cat and 6 kids my carpet and funiture has many different odors and not good ones lol.

I first sniffed it because that's how I am I have to smell things to make sure they smell good haha. This had a light fragrance to it but not overpowering and it was a good smell. I first tried it the carpet where the cat had peed on and that I have tried to clean up with other stuff with no prevail. I soaked the area with this product and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes then I took a dry cloth and dabbed up the spot as much as I could to dry it and clean it. Then I waited until the next day to see if it was better. I immediately noticed the stain was 100 times lighter and barely noticeable and the smell was gone and to think this was a old stain and it did this well. I can imagine what it will do when the stain is fresh. I am sure that stain would not be there! I then decided to spray my couch to remove the dingy cat smell and kids smells and did the exact thing I did with the carpet but I didn't soak it with the solution just sprayed it over the entire surface and let it dry and My couch looks and smells so much better. This is a definite product I will buy again and again.

So if you have some pet issues and need help look no further than Simple Solution. They got what you need and you will love it. So check them out!

We are giving one lucky reader a bottle of the Simple Solution Extreme Carpet solution. I am so gonna buy me some of this for my carpet cleaner!

1. Go to Simple Solution and tell me another product you like

Cheap Tees are comfy and cheap for kids and adults

I must admit I am a lover of comfy clothes. I would wear my stretchy sweats and a tshirt everyday if I could. So I like finding fashionable comfy clothes as well as cheap ones too. This is where Cheap Tees came into my life.

Cheap Tees has all the great brands you love like Hanes, Fruit of a loom and Champion and much more. Best part they are all really affordable. They have clothes for kids, babies and adults. So it really is a great site for every one!

I got me the Bella Ladies Stretch Yoga Pants in black which are normally around $40 but on Cheap Tees they were only $19.99. They are stretchy and comfy and look awesome on me. I love them! I can wear them around the house and out and even to bed. The fit wonderfully and are very quality made. I love exercising in them since they are so comfy. Definitely my new favorite pants!

I also got the Hanes Youth Tagless tee in Royal blue. I love this because it is tagless and my kids hate tags on their shirts. Plus hey its Hanes a brand I trust and love. My daughter loves the blue since its her Buzz color. It fits her well and I know it will last a long time and best part it only cost $2.94 WOW! At that price I can really stock up.

So if your looking for cheap but quality made clothing for your whole family you should definitely check out Cheap Tees. You will be glad you did and so will your bank account ha ha!

I received the two products talked about in this review for no cost to do my review. It did not effect my review and opinion in any way. My review is my honest and complete opinions and you have the right to have your own opinion!

College students save money by renting Textbooks

Whether you or a loved one or child or friends or who ever is in college knows how much it cost to get that great and needed degree these days. Well anyway I can save money I do it. So when I heard about Campus Book Rentals I was intrigued to know more.

I am planning on going back for my Nursing degree as well as I got 6 kids to put through college so this intrigued me even more. You spend a majority of you money buying textbooks for your classes that you will use one semester and then just lug it around the rest of your life . Trust me I know I have two big boxes of college school books sitting in my garage lol. Well why not rent them and then use them and send them back and get your new ones and so on and save a ton of money up to 90%. There is even a 30 day money back gaureentee! Best part there is free shipping both ways as well to save you money! This is the great idea ever! You can bet I will be using this service alot!

So if you know a college student or are one check out Campus Book Rentals. You will be glad you did! Plus you will be helping a great cause called the Operation Smile. For every book rented a portion of the money with go to this wonderful foundation to help children with cleft lip that cant afford surgery. That's awesome!

Ready for her UVU Ballroom Competition!!!

Pringles are not just for snacking they make great recipe ingredients too!

Now if your like me always looking for great new recipes to try and looking for ones that have some ingredients you usually always have in the house then I got some great ones for you. Now I know you all heard of Pringles and how yummy they are. Now there are other ways to use them other then just as chips and I am going to share some with you.

The first one is
Crispy Fish Nuggets

The one is awesome! I tried it with the Salt & Vinegar, the original, and the sour cream and onion and I loved them all. I also do the same recipe with Chicken to make fried chicken or chicken nuggets and they are awesome! It is so easy and tasty and a great way to use chips!

The next recipe I tried was
Loaded Twice Baked Taters Appetizers

This was like the Tater skins you get at the restaurants. It was crispy with a yummy flavorful potato and soft center. This one I will use alot for parties and get togethers. It was delicious and easy and a hit at our house!

The last one was the weirdest one but the best honestly.
Pringles Brownies

Yes I know Pringles in brownies umm I don't know about that! Well I am the type of person I will try everything once and so I did and well I was shocked! It was wonderful! It was tasty, chocolaty and awesome. You couldn't tell there was Pringles even in it. It was a little thicker consistence but other than that they were one of the best homemade brownies I have ever had! My family and friends loved them! I will be using this recipe again as well!

So if you like new recipes I would recommend you trying these they are awesome! I also recommend you don't under estimate Pringles and their usefulness because I use them alot for all kinds of things and there are so many flavors to choose from!

 My girls had a blast and there was so much to chose from it was so hard to chose. For our appetizer we got the kicked up queso dip and chips. MMM we all loved it. The chips were fresh and warm and thin and crispy. The Queso dip was not spicy but cheesy and hearty and I loved the salsa. All 6 of enjoyed it!

For Lunch I got the Chicken Club wraps with load mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Oh my it was awesome and came with 3 huge wraps and delicious potatoes with bacon, chives, cheese and more and well my 2 year old swiped my corn on the cob which was juicy and sweet. It only cost me $8.89.

My 12 year old got the Big mouth burger bites with salad and fries. She absolutely loved her burgers and her house salad. She said they had lots of flavor and were way better then fast food burgers! It was alot of food for her so she couldn't finish all of it! Best part it was only $7.

My 8 year old  and 4 year old both got the kids  Cheese quesadillas one got it with fries and one got the cinnamon apples. They were awesome. Lots of cheese and not over cooked. The apples were sweet and warm. The fries were big and just enough crunch. They only cost me $4.49 which is awesome for kids meals.

My 6 year old got Mac and cheese with mashed potatoes. I know go figure we go out to eat and she gets that haha. It was good though not the box stuff. Nice and cheesy and a huge bowl. The mash potatoes were her favorite! Again only $4.49.

 We were very pleased with the atmosphere of Chili's and our waitress was awesome. The menu was huge and so much variety. There is definitely something for everyone there. Best part for me is for all 6 of us the bill was a little over $40. Amazing! We had a awesome girls day and will definitely go back again!

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

If you like unique and fun clothing for your kids then I have the place for you. Class Attire has the cutest Chalkboard Tees. Yes That's right Tees that your kids can draw on and personalize.

I got the pink butterfly chalkboard tee for my 4 year old and she absolutely loves it. She thinks it is her special shirt. She has shown it to her friends and teachers and they all think it is so cool. I have had so many compliments and notices for this shirt. They are a great price at only $25. They are quality made and ours has withstood many washes already. I think they are the coolest. There is even a little pocket called the Chalk-it to hold your chalk. Even the package it comes in is cool. It comes in a tube which my kids have turned into a penny bank. Got to love being green. Not to mention the shirt can be recycled many ways once it has been outgrown. It comes with a paper to show you many ways to reuse it. I love that! We already have decided once it doesn't fit or gets stained up we are making a pillow out of it.

Overall we are very impressed with the quality and style of the Chalkboard tee from Class Attire. Its been a hit in this house and community. So if you are looking for something you and your kids will  love that is different then anyone else you must check out Chalkboard tees. You will be glad you did!

Brand New Leapfrog DVDs

We love Leapfrog. We have Leapsters, Didj, Tad, and many other great leapfrog toys. I manage my kids TV time so I like when they watch educational shows during their TV time. That's why my kids love Leapfrog DVDs and so do I.

Leapfrog came out with 2 new DVDs this January called Numbers Ahoy and The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park. These are perfect for my 3 youngest. Not only are they entertaining to watch but it helps them with their numbers and alphabet. They love counting and doing their ABC's along with the movie. They love Tad, Lily and Scout. They laugh and have fun while watching them. They are definitely their favorite movies as of now.You bet Ill be getting more Leapfrog DVDs again!

Numbers Ahoy synopses:
(Ages 3-6): Tad and Lily need a little number sense to help them get through a complicated game. So their magical firefly friend, Edison, takes them on a fantastical journey under the sea! When a pirate mistakenly captures their cute puppy pal Scout, they must use their new understanding of counting, grouping and estimating to rescue him. Join them as they navigate the deep and face foes such as sharks, crab henchmen—even Pirate Pythagoras himself—and begin to see numbers in a whole new way!

The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park Synopses:
(Ages 3-6): When their firefly friend, Edison, takes Tad, Lily and Scout to the place of his childhood dreams, the gang is shocked to discover that Alistair Alphabelly's Amazing Amusement Park is... closed! To make matters worse, Edisonhas gotten himself stuck atop the Fantastical Ferris Wheel.The only way to save him is to turn on the rides in the park with the magic of the alphabet. Now the children must learn all of the letters, big and small, to save their friend, save the day and perhaps even meet the rhyme master himself, Alistair Alphabelly!

So my overall opinion is these are great DVDs to add to your children's collection. They will love them and so will you. They will help them learn and enjoy learning. So check out Leapfrog DVDs brand new DVDs.

Ms. Independant and Brat Cat!!!

My daughter new addiction Peter Rabbit Organic pouches

My 2 year old has allergies and it is sometimes hard to find her stuff she likes to eat that she can eat. She loves fruits and veggies thank goodness and the new pouches alot of fruits and stuff come in to just drink is her favorites. They are easy, fast and fun. Peter Rabbit Organics has her favorites and now they even add veggies to the mix.

They have came out with 3 new exciting veggie flavors

- Pea, Spinach & Apple 

- Carrot, Squash & Apple 

- Sweet Potato, Corn & Apple

Now I know those might sound gross but my daughter loves them. I think the fruit sweetens up the veggies and she drinks them down like they are candy. She will eat them morning , noon and night. I think these new pouches are the best baby and toddler food invention yet. Less less then trying to feed them from a spoon and easy for on the go. Plus toddlers like the independence. They are fun because I think it reminds them of the juicy pouches they all love. They are great for 6 months and up. They will all love them. Best par t is they are 100% organic and perfect size to fill up their little tummies with healthy fruits and veggies.

Overall I am greatly pleased with Peter Rabbit Organics pouches. The only problem I have is I can never buy enough of them to keep them in the house haha. So if you have a little one you have to check these out. You and your little one will be glad you did! You can get them at Amazon, Babies R Us, Diapers.com and more.
