When you have kids there is a good chance that you have you have had to help with cleaning up cuts and scrapes. I always have Band-Aid® Bandages on hand because you never know when you are going to encounter an accident.

Band-Aid Prize PackI always have a first-aid kit handy at all times. I have a large first-aid kit full of different products like Band-Aid bandages and Neosporin and I also keep a little one in my purse. Not only do my kids go through bandages, I have my share of cuts and scrapes too. I currently have my first aid kits stocked with some CUTE Monster’s University theme bandages too!

So the Band-Aid brand is a BRAND that I have been using since I was a kid. When I need a bandage or my kids ask for a bandage, you will most likely hear us say “I need a Band-Aid”. I am a mom that is frugal, but when it comes to our bandages, I never buy the generic brand. I love the Band-Aid variety and I really like that they are always coming out with bandages with my children’s favorite characters on them.

When you have to stand on your feet for long periods of time, it can help to have comfortable shoes. I just started school last month full time and for one of my classes, we are on our feet for 3-4 hours. This would happen to be my baking class where we have to dress in uniform and part of the uniform requires closed toe shoes.

This would happen to be my baking class where we have to dress in uniform and part of the uniform requires closed toe shoes.

For my baking class, I have been wearing a pair of the L39 Mary Jane shoes from Arcopédico. These shoes are cute, stylish and also very comfortable. The shoes are designed with a Faux leather reptilian print with an adjustable Mary Jane strap. On the inside the shoes have a smooth textile lining that helps regulate the climate of the inside of the shoe. These shoes also have a padded foot bed that provides comfort for your feet.

I think these are one of the most comfortable shoes that I own. They go well with my black and white checkered chef pants for my baking class too! I normally have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable to wear for a long period of time and can’t wait to try some of shoes from Arcopédico.

Arcopédico is a high-quality women’s comfort shoe brand specializing in lightweight, anatomically-designed, arch- and circulation-supporting shoes that are hand-made in Portugal. The company was founded in Portugal in 1966 by Elio Parodi, inventor of the original knit shoe. Simco Imported Shoes, Inc. became the sole U.S. distributor of Arcopédico shoes in 1983 after Manuel and Virginia Simas discovered the shoes on a trip to Portugal. Their sons Dan and Doug Simas now run the company.

Make Sure To Add Wet Ones To Your Back To School Shopping List

by 5 Comments

“I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Wet Ones. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating”

I can’t believe that the summer is almost gone. I usually look forward to the hot summer days when it is cold and on those HOT sunny days, I can’t wait for Fall to arrive. It is now September and I am officially back in school at our local college full time and all of my kids are currently in school too. This school year I have a kindergartner, a 4th grader, a freshman and a junior. Although I am enjoying them being in school, I don’t like that they are growing up so fast!

For my youngest two, they had a Back To School Supply list that included antibacterial wipes. That means adding some Wet Ones in my child’s backpack to give to their teacher to help keep the kids in the class germ free. I have been using these products since I was a child and love being able to help our teachers out with supplying the class with a couple containers each school year.

TeacherLists.comDid you know that Wet Ones helps to support our teachers through their partnership with TeacherLists.com. This is a free service that teachers can use to post their wish list for the items they would like parents to send their children to school with. Since Wet Ones joined forces with TeachersLists.com in 2012, they have helped to donate 15,000 products to teachers across the country to help get their wish lists filled.

If you are sending your kids back to school, will you be sending some Wet Ones too?

 

 

Spare One Emergency Mobile Phone

I received a product sample to facilitate this review. No monetary compensation has been received and all thoughts and opinions stated herein are 100% my own.

Have you ever been in an emergency situation and wish you had a cell phone? I currently have a cell phone that I pack with me wherever I go, but there are many people out there that don’t wish to have a cell phone like my grandparents.

Spare One Emergency Mobile PhoneFor those want to have a cell phone in case of an emergency, but don’t want a cell phone bill or contract there is the Spare One Emergency Mobile Phone. This phone is convenient because it is powered by only 1 AA battery and provides up to 10 hours of talk time and keeps a charge for up to 15 years!

For those that want to use it just for an emergency phone, this will come in handy because NO SIM card is needed for emergency call button. For those that like to travel internationally and hate roaming charges, you can bring this phone, purchase a SIM card with prepaid minutes in the area you are located and pop the SIM card into the phone. Since my grandparents refuse to own a cell phone, I think this might make for a perfect gift for them. They could keep it in their car for when they travel just in case of an emergency.

Here are some additional features:

  • Waterproof bag
  • Torchlight/LED flashlight
  • Audible Feedback
  • Extreme operating temperatures

These might come in handy for your kids that walk home from school. You might want to keep one of these in their backpack just in case they need to make a call.
