I've found that some of the most unique gifts are ones that come personalized to a child. My kids are thrilled when they have a book, music or toy that is specifically made just for them. They know it's there and cherish it. I was introduced to Personalized Books by Mickey where there are literally hundreds of products to choose from that can be personalized in some way or another. My daughter received the Ballerina Princess Personalized Children's book that has her name as well as two of her friends (you can add up to three for this book), fun illustrations and a story that any little girl would love. The book is also personalized to her in the front as well as has who it's from (whatever you would like.) This is just one of the many products I would have loved to receive for my children. The book selection is extensive and I'd love to get music for my kids, personalized music has always been huge in our home. Gift packages, DVDs, music, books, personalized name meanings and so much more. I was amazed at how quickly I received the product once it was ordered as well, especially for it being so personalized. Looking for a quick gift that's unique look no further, Personalized Books by Mickey is your stop.
Everyone has different styles they are looking for. I know it took me forever to find the exact cabinet I wanted in my tv room and then I came across this gorgeous Cynthia Media Stand from Pottery Barn. Oh my goodness! Thank goodness my husband is one heck of an engineer and came up with the plans and my husband grandpa made this for me.
A fabulous piece of furniture can really make a room. I'm not a fan of the television being the focal point to a room so why not put it on a great tv cabinet, fill it will some decor and the focal point isn't just the television but the gorgeous piece of furniture it sits on. What do you have for your tv furniture? Do you mount your flat screen on the wall? Share!
We play a lot of board games in our home, it encourages family time as well as incorporates all kinds of skills like taking turns, color recognition, counting and more depending on the game that are great for my children. Recently we added the board game Stone Soup to our game collection that has been enjoyed by the entire family from the company Peaceable Kingdom. It's one of the five new games that Peaceable Kingdom has introduced that are cooperative games for children. Cooperative games are when the children play together to win the game, not just one person wins but you work together to win the game. We have a few different types of cooperative games and at first I didn't know how they would go over, but they really have encouraged my children to work together while still having a lot of fun. These new games from Peaceable Kingdom can all be played in 10-20 minutes, and are made of 100% green products like soy based ink on FSC paper and corn based plastic.
I am extremely excited to share with you a remarkable company I was recently introduced to called Canvas Press, where you can place an image you love on canvas. If you're anything like me these type of sites typically leave me a bit skeptical because I'm worried that my photo is not going to turn out as I envision it's going to. Boy was I wrong.. Canvas Press is high quality! I was able to choose my own photo to put on a 16X20 1.5" Gallery Wrap Canvas and immediately I knew I wanted a family picture that was recently taken to be put on the canvas. It was very easy to upload and maneuver on the site and there customer service is great if you need any help at all. I waited a very short period of time and my new canvas art came in the mail, packaged wonderfully and I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the package. It was absolutely gorgeous. It was like I was looking into a mirror the quality was exceptional. I love how the canvas wraps around so you have the photo on the surface as well as the sides. My husband and I instantly got it up on the wall and kept commenting all night on how great it looked. I couldn't believe my husbands words when he snatched up the coupons that came with the print and said we will definitely be ordering more of these in the futuree. Don't just take my word on this product either, we've had family and friends over and 
everyone has commented on how great it looked. Canvas prints can make many different sizes and different types of products are available and at affordable prices compared to the other canvas providers I have seen in the past. I'd love to try the metal prints someday. These make for great gifts!

Awhile back some of my friends and I decided that we would throw a baby wearing party since we love baby wearing and give others the opportunity to try a variety of carriers before making a purchase. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to many more in the future. A new type of product for parents along the lines of baby wearing is the Baby Nari Hip Hugger, a product I have never seen before. What it is is a carrier that straps around your waist with a large adjustable Velcro belt and buckle and then your child can sit on the durable light weight material with soft padded foam for comfort that is connected right on the belt. Unlike other baby carriers you must be supporting your child at all times. The Baby Hip Higger is made for infants that can sit up on their own.. from about 10 months to 36 months and can be used fo
r anyone who has a waist size of up to 40 inches. The product is super easy to use and exceptional if you are a hip carrying parent.. which I am very often. It gives your arms a break when they feel like they're going to fall off from supporting a heavy child. The Baby Hip Hugger has convenient mesh pockets and zippered pockets for snacks or other needs. After using and having other mom's try the product we found that it's not made for wearing for long periods of times, but a very neat product overall. The Baby Hip Hugger comes in different colors and is even made for baby facing in or out.
Recently I had the opportunity to check out the Karmin G3 Salan Pro Touramline Hair Straightner Flat Iron and I have been very pleased. It straightens your hair quickly and leaves it looking smooth and professional. I like how this flat iron has 1" plates so though it's small you can get close to your head so you can get all those strands that don't like to stay in place. This flat iron also has temperature adjustment so whether you have thick curly hair or fine hair you can get that perfect look, it's for everyone. Did you know that flat irons help you achieve waves, curls and give you that straight look? It's true, I didn't realize you could get gorgeous curls with a flat iron without all the fly aways that a curling iron can give you. Check out Hair Products Pro for some of the best flat irons as well as another must have the best hair dryers. I know with summer being just around the corner and those humid days you are tempted to just pull your hair back in a pony tail, slick it back with a headband or hat.. and though those styles are cute.. they're not for everyday. A great flat iron will help keep your hair looking great even in those humid, hot nasty days that are just about here!
This is an award winning product that works great at letting your little one get a longer nap, keeping them in the shade while napping, protecting from pesky bugs and works like a charm. It attaches around your stroller with elastic tabs that stretch and velcro together, move it to get the perfect fit. New is the SnoozeShade for the Infant Car seat. These are a must!
As you can see I have tested it out on the two different strollers here, a double and single jogger as well as a regular stroller with four wheels that an infant seat latches into. All work great!
If you've been around Momma In Flip Flops2 for awhile then you've probably read my reviews once or twice on LYSOL and some of their different products. It's been awhile but I've always enjoyed using them. With it being spring cleaning season I was given the opportunity to use some of the products again, the Disinfecting Wipes and Spray. Now, let me back up a tad here. . . I was using the LYSOL wipes constantly... they were my go to for everything for a very long time. Then slowly I quit purchasing them. . . maybe for a variety of reasons like not wanting to purchase so many things that aren't reusable. Well I'm back because I forgot just how great these wipes are. They are so convenient, make clean ups so easy and they kill 99.9% of all viruses, bacteria and help prevent the spread of germs in your home. I love that they remove allergens which is becoming even better because I now know that my husband and youngest son have allergies (wonderful). If you haven't tried them do. . . I even have a friend who uses almost everything reusable (she's great like that) but she purchases these too! I have them on my list for today actually. If you're more of a spray person then check out the LYSOL disinfecting spray that also gets the job done killing viruses, germs, bacteria and all that. Get that stuff out of your home by really killing it when you're cleaning. The wipes are available in two different scents and the spray seven, giving your home a clean and fresh scent. Available in mass convenient stores nationwide.
I've never gotten into lip gloss that has a lot of color to it, I try it only to quit using it awhile awhile because it leaves my lips sticky, clumpy, the color is gone instantly or I look like I'm really trying to show off. Recently I've been introduced to RIMMEL London and several different beauty products. Though I have heard of Rimmel for years I don't recall actually trying the products. The Moisture Renew Lip gloss SPF15 from Rimmel London has truly impressed me. This lip gloss is not stickying and a new formula reduces dryness by 95% while shielding the lips from the sun's rays with the SPF 15. It's glossy and gives you a luscious pouty lips that look great. Available in 14 fabulous shades I was able to find a few that looked like me, not making me feel like I'm trying to hard but definitely colors that will make you stand out if that's what you're going for, knock up dead ladies. It's very easy to apply and you can take it with you anywhere! Available in Mass markets and drugstores nationwide including CVS, Walgreens and Walmart.
