If you are planning to visit the Big Island of Hawaii, there is one place on the Island that you MUST see. In my opinion, it is the most BEAUTIFUL spot on the Big Island, and not to be missed. Waipi'o Valley, the "Valley of the Kings" lies on the northern end of the Big Island. From the lookout you'll be able to see magnificent views of the valley below including taro patches and a black sand beach. Although the valley is only accessible with 4-wheel drive vehicles, you can always hike down if you really want to explore! Let me warn you though, the hike is strenuous! Once in the Keep reading...
ShowNo Towel GIVEAWAY & Review
I came across a great towel, that is perfect for the beach, pool, or even after bath time. It's called a ShowNo towel, and as the website states, it really is the "Ultimate kids 3 in 1 towel".The ShowNo towel drapes right over your childs shoulders like a poncho, so they can wear it to and from the beach or pool rather then having to carry it.

It's simple with the ShowNo, they can get their clothes changed with the Showno on! Keep reading...
Best apple App for Toddlers – Elmo Calls
Who doesn't like Elmo? My 18 month old daughter LOVES the Elmo Calls app. We don't have an iPhone, but I uploaded it on my 5 year olds iPad. My little one asks her big sister for "Elmo" all the time, and she won't stop asking until the Elmo Calls app is on. There are both audio and video calls as well as voicemail. Her absolute favorite is the one with the cow, where Elmo, says "moo..moo..moo". She sits there and "moo's" at the screen, then wants to watch it all over again! For some reason, she isn't interested in watching any of the other "calls" from Elmo, all she wants is the one Keep reading...
ecosential by: Smart Choice “smooth cook top cleaner” product review from electrolux-store.com
I've always thought of electrolux as appliances only, so when I found out you can find other products as well at their online store, I took a look around. I found that they carry a line of "eco-friendly" kitchen cleaning products called "Ecosential By: Smart Choice", and I was able to try a few. The first I tried was the "smooth cooktop cleaner". We had just had a spaghetti dinner, so my stove top was a mess. I also had some old grease stains that were stuck on, no matter what other product I have tried in the past. Along with the cleaner I also recieved some scrubbing pads. I sprayed on Keep reading...

iPad 2 for Kids?
I know a lot of people think we're crazy for getting our daughter her very own iPad 2 for Christmas. My hubby actually thought I was crazy when I first told him! lol. It wasn't until Black Friday that I finally talked him in to get it. We got it directly through apple, I believe it was $41 off. I also shopped through rebates and saved an extra 2% on the purchase. So it ended up being a decent deal for an iPad 2.I wanted to get her something that she'd really make use of. The way I see it is, you could spend A LOT on toys, and have them play with them once, or you can get Keep reading...
