Febreeze Wooden Wick Candle

I love using Febreeze products to freshen up my home with. During the holidays I look forward to the Limited Edition selections over the holiday season. Recently I was sent a very yummy smelling Febreeze Wooden Wick Candle to review. I love how this one candle can make my living room smell so good. I also love the wooden wick, you get that holiday feel of the cracking of wood burning while the candle is lit. Another great feature is that these candles last longer than most, so you can enjoy the amazing fragrance and the crackling sound for longer! Hurry and get your Limited Edition Frebreeze Wooden Wick Candles today!

Monroe Shocks: Preparing your Vehicle for Winter

The Winter is coming, and in some places, it is already here. I am not talking about the season itself, I am talking about the Winter weather in general. Those icy, snow packed roads means time to make sure that your vehicle is prepared to weather through it and keep your family safe. I think that one thing that most people overlook is the shocks. The thing is, if your shocks are not any good, you can get in trouble with your vehicle when driving on slippery roads. Making sure your shocks are good and changing them out makes for a smoother, more comfortable ride for your family and safer handling for you. Your vehicle can actually take quite a beating over the winter months, and if you go in those months with bad shocks, you will quickly regret it. People get stuck and when they do, they can spin their tires on the roads, which then creates potholes. Or just the ice and slush on the roads can create those potholes, when you are driving down the road and you hit one of those potholes, you can easily loose control of your vehicle, especially on slick, icy roads. Those shocks are meant to absorb the majority of the impact, if they are bad you can easily get into some trouble. Recently we were sent a full set of shocks for my Beast! She really needed them, in fact it had been at least two years since we last had them changed, and with my husband taking her out hunting, I know that the shocks had taken quite a beating. But the wonderful people from Monroe Shocks were kind enough to send us some shocks so that we could prepare my Beast for the Winter months! Now it is recommended that you have a professional replace your shocks, but my husband is my mechanic for the most part and he was able to use a friends shop to replace our old shocks with the new ones. I honestly did not know that ours were bad until I drove my Beast with the new ones on her. I was very glad that we were able to get this done. I also learned that we should replace our shocks about every 50,000 miles, well I know my Beast has way more than 50,000 miles on her and I know that we probably drove her over 50,000 miles in the past couple of years. If you are curious about your shocks or if you know they need to get replaced, then take your vehicle to your local mechanic and ask for Monroe Shocks!!



Halo Safe Sleep Crib Set (Preparing For Baby)

I think when it comes to babies, you want to be as prepared as you can be, before that new baby comes home! We all know that swaddling a baby keeps them warm, makes them feel safe and can also keep them safe! One company that I just loved using with my kids is Halo. Halo makes great SleepSacks and SleepSack Swaddles that not only do parents love, but babies love as well. In fact, the Halo SleepSacks are preferred by health professionals over a blanket and a quilt.
It is like putting a wearable blanket on your baby, it keeps them warm and they can safely sleep in them as well! Well those amazing creators from Halo have come out with a whole new collection that will be available in early 2012. We all find that those crib bumpers look great in a babies crib, but the thing is, health care professionals say that those crib bumpers can be very dangerous to a baby. Yikes! Well Halo now has a 5 piece crib set that does not have a crib bumper, but is very attractive to put in your babies room. This set is the 5 piece Halo Safe Sleep Crib Set and it includes a coordinating Halo SleepSack Swaddle for a newborn, a SleepSack Wearable Blanket in a small, two soft jersey crib sheets and a crib skirt. Hospitals everywhere find that they like the Halo SleepSacks better than a baby blanket because it cant go over babies face and cause a interference with breathing. The sheets and crib skirt can make it so you can decorate babies crib, but create a much safer sleeping environment for your baby. Like I said these crib sets will be available in early 2012 and they will come in six different patterns including pink, blue, and neutral tones!
