The MuseBox Digital Mix Tape Canadian Female Artists - Free Copy for Everyone

The MuseBox is based in both Toronto, ON & New York, NY. Recently, their gang at the Toronto office noticed that they were involved with a nice chunk of Canadian female artists. So, they figured they'd make a digital mix tape of their favourite songs & put it on the interweb. What with the Canadian Thanksgiving having only just recently come & gone and the holidays right around the corner, family has been at the forefront of their thoughts. And at heart of every family is a mom & dad. Eureka!

So, here you go - a mixtape for you to download & enjoy from the MuseBox. Their first volume features all of their female artists. I love it and think its great! Thank you MuseBox!!

A Stay-at-Home Mom and Working Mom… Best of Both Worlds

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ashworth College. All opinions are 100% mine.

These days there are so many more options for stay-at-home moms to still be able to hold a career while taking care of your children. This is awesome for moms who would like to contribute to the household income or if you just want to do something for yourself since your life became all about your children. For those who don’t know me… I am a Stay-at-Home Mom and own an online Baby Boutique Store. I’m my own boss and can create my own daily schedule which includes laundry, checking emails, washing dishes, sending orders to customers, changing diapers, getting dinner ready, running to the post-office, etc…

The best of both worlds... train for a work-at-home career and be home when the school bus arrives!

Not long ago work-from-home moms were someone who babysat or sold cosmetics part-time. There were exceptions, such as the successful author who wrote novels at home while toddlers played in the backyard. However, for most, it was in a domestic capacity.

Today’s work-at-home moms are journalists, web designers, medical billing coders, customer service reps and virtual assistants. They hold conference calls while spooning strained peas into the baby’s mouth. They finish business proposals as the children sleep. They stop what they are doing to wipe a runny nose and celebrate milestones. The best of both worlds.

Not surprising, the Internet has given moms more choices when it comes to making money. It’s now possible to work completely from a computer. And Ashworth College makes it possible to learn the necessary skills to succeed as a work-at-home mom, offering a wide range affordable, accredited programs that are ideal for this growing professional segment – including bridal consulting, interior decorating, floral or jewelry design, medical and paralegal transcription, catering, even graphic or web design.

To help you get started with your new career as a Work-at-Home Mom… Ashworth is an Online College that offers more than 100+ nationally accredited career diploma, Associate Degree, Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree and Certificate programs for today's hottest and most popular careers, including: Medical Billing, Web Design, Bridal Consulting, Interior Decorating, Human Resources, Marketing, Early Childhood Education and more.

Whether professionally "on-ramping" after not working while raising the children or "off-ramping" to become a work-at-home mom, for some, it means getting a job for the very first time and for others it is completely changing careers in order to accommodate this new life change. For these moms, training for the new career is an essential part of the process.

More about Ashworth College:

• Flexible and self-paced so you can study whenever and wherever you like -- ideal for stay at home moms and working adults

Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving - Halloween Public Service Campaign

Halloween means dark streets full of little kids distracted by candy and costumes. That makes it especially important to start planning a safe and sober ride home from whatever fun you'll be having that night - so your evening doesn't turn into a real nightmare.

Whether at a Halloween party, a costume contest at a bar or trick-or-treating through the neighborhood, many of us will be on the road this weekend. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ad Council are reminding everyone that the best way to stay safe is to plan ahead and designate a sober driver before you head out for your Halloween festivities.

Here's some helpful information and tools that will help make Halloween a safer day for everyone:

• Designated Driver Drink List - One of the most important things you can do before going out is designate a sober driver. If you're throwing a Halloween party, make sure to offer non-alcoholic drinks for the sober drivers. View a compiled Facebook tab with 50 non-alcoholic party drink recipes.

• Alternative Ride Locator - View this Facebook tab with a list of nationwide alternative ride programs that can help keep you safe.

• Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving website - Sign a pledge not to drink and drive; play "Spot the Difference," an interactive game that simulates the effects of buzzed driving; and watch a real-life video about how buzzed driving changed one woman's life.

This Halloween, let's work together to put an end to buzzed driving. Don't ruin your Halloween with a DUI - or worse. Remember to plan ahead and designate a sober driver before you begin celebrating. Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.

Pineapple Chic Modern and Classic Maternity Clothing Giveaway

I would like to introduce you to Trisha Taylor. She is a wife, a mom and a designer. She has a maternity line that is launching next season called Pineapple Chic. Like most mommy designers she decided to create this line when she realized how painful it was to shop for maternity wear. All her dresses are made and manufactured in Canada and fabric are eco-friendly Bamboos and modal. She has created a convertible dress that can be worn multiple ways including inside out, where it then becomes a new color! She's excited to show women that they can wear fabulous colors confidently as they embrace the joys of pre-motherhood!

Pinapple Chic modern and classic designs are created to maximize the maternity wardrobe. Departing from standard maternity wear, they have created unique designs that allow the mother-to-be feel she is wearing regular clothing, simply enhanced to accommodate a growing belly. Pineapple Chic maternity clothing is made from high quality, hardworking knit jersey that not only allows for flattering draping, but provides the perfect amount of stretch to flatter all body types - at every stage of pregnancy. The stretch property of the fabric allows each garment to recover its original shape after wear and washing.

Smell the Scentsy in the Air - Breast Cancer Awarness $50 G.C. Review and Giveaway

The thought of Cancer scares me because it can happen to anyone at any age. It's always on the back of my mind. Breast Cancer scares me the most since it is one of the most popular cancers that has affected many women. Scentsy has joined The National Breast Cancer Foundation to support their breast cancer awareness and education programs. With a purchase of Love, Life, Hope Scentsy Warmer one hundred percent of the net profits from the sale will go directly to The National Breast Cancer Foundation. The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Casie from Scentsy has graciously offered a review of the Love, Life, Hope Scentsy Warmer along with some other wonderful products.

My mom was visiting when the package arrived and she was sampling and smelling everything with me. The Scentsy Bars I received were Snowberry, Eskimo Kiss, and Autum Sunset. I love all of them but my favorite is the Snowberry which smells like Cinnamon to me. Scentsy Bars are specially designed wickless candles, perfectly suited for all Scentsy Warmers. With convenient break-apart sections, you can divide one bar into different warmers or mix and match scents.

I was surprised at how big the Love, Life, Hope Scentsy Warmer Full Size is and how beautifully designed. It comes with a light-bulb to heat the bar waxes so you don't have to worry about a fire from a candle. It heated very quickly and please be sure to keep this away from children's reach because it will get very hot. I did also find that this was a great science experiment for my 3 year old. She learned about solids turning into liquid and vice-versa. After I used the Warmer... the next day I woke up to my house still smelling like the Scentsy Bar. It put a smile on my face and what a great way to get my day started. Kind of like the smell of Coffee in the morning.

I also received the Black Raspberry Vanilla Antibacterial Fragrance Foam, Home Sweet Home Room Spray, and a Perfectly Pomegranate Scent Circle to hang freely in cars, lockers and closets. I hung it in my car so I could try to cover up bad smells that come with having babies and toddlers (ha ha ha)... you know... from spilling their milk and dropping food in the car.

Scentsy’s philosophy of Simplicity, Authenticity, and Generosity has made us one of the fastest growing companies the direct selling industry has ever seen. Casie is located in Caldwell Idaho just north west of Boise. She does in home parties in the Treasure Valley Area but she has had people do parties all over the US and Canada. If your not located in her area she will send you a basket party which includes a small kit with catalogs, samples of all the fragrances, and order forms. All you have to do is show it around to your friends and family, collect orders, and she will work with you to enter it and ship it. If you visit her website it explains more about what a hostess will receive when you host any type of party.

She's also always looking for those who are interested in doing what she does in their home towns as a consultant. Anyone in the US or Canada can join her team. This information is on her website too under the "Join" tab and it only costs $99.00 plus shipping and tax to get started.

Visit Casie's Scentsy page www.JustAWickAway.com to purchase your own fabulous Scentsy products. Purchase is not necessary to enter into giveaway.

WIN IT:
Casie is offering one lucky reader a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to her site! Open to US and Canada residence only. For a chance to win you must do the following:

**Required** Visit Casie's Scentsy page and tell me what you would spend the $50 Gift Certificate on if you won. Please leave your email address in the comments so I have a way to contact you if you win. Do this before November 4th and you are in. Good luck!

Dora the Explorer and Friends Magazine Review

My children love Dora!! After my son learned how to say Mama and Dada... Dora was one of the first words my son began saying. Most days I find myself singing Dora's or Diego's theme song while I'm cooking or cleaning "Go Diego Go, Go Diego Go"-- LOL.

Both of my children enjoyed going through the new Magazine with me. They were entertained with stickers, coloring, and playing fun games. On some of the pages there are "Notes to Grown-Ups" about an activity to do with your child. I give this Magazine 5 stars! There is so much in this magazine that it will keep your children entertained for days.

Fiesta! Party! Dora the Explorer and her cousin Diego, stars of the hit Nickelodeon shows, now have their very own magazine!

Dora the Explorer and Friends Magazine is packed with exciting stories to read together, lots of fun puzzles and great activities to join in with.

Each 36-page, bimonthly magazine introduces kids to the multilingual world of Dora and Diego, taking them on amazing adventures while helping them discover new things about their world. The magazine will help young children develop important preschool skills in reading, writing, math, problem-solving, creative thinking and awareness of the world around them as well as learning Spanish along the way. Plus, with a 12-page pullout workbook section and fantastic stickers to use in every issue, learning has never been so much fun!

Find out more about the magazine, enter sweepstakes and download some fun, free activities at www.titantots.com/dora

Store Brand Formulas versus Name Brand Formulas?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you having trouble finding Similac® Advance® Infant Formula at your local retailer? It’s been almost a year since I have used Baby Formula but I recently read an article by Stacey Bradford about her thoughts on generic store brand formula and pricey name brand formulas. This was the first time I heard about Similac powdered baby formula being recalled because some lots have been found with beetles or their larvae in the formula.

With my first child it was all about having the best so my husband and I spent a fortune on pricey name brands. When we had our second child we were more concerned about saving money… now that we had a toddler and a new baby. I did some comparison between Parent’s Choice Advantage™ Infant Formula to Similac Advance and felt comfortable knowing that these formulas are nutritionally equivalent and offer the same benefits:

- Prebiotics to help support baby’s immune system

- Milk-based nutrition containing all nutrients, vitamins and minerals for growth and development
DHA & ARA, which may support brain and eye development

- Available in 23.2 oz and 12.4 oz sizes

FDA regulations have minimum nutrient requirements for all baby formula that are sold in the US. Just because one formula cost more than the other doesn’t mean that it is better for your child. Why not switch to generic formula sold at retailers including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, and Babies “R” Us?

All infant formulas are subject to the same exacting standards of the FDA pursuant to the Infant Formula Act. This legislation vested FDA with the authority to ensure that all infant formulas sold in the United States provide the necessary levels of identified nutrients required for the growth of healthy babies. Store-brand formulas are nutritionally equivalent to Enfamil® and Similac® brand-name formulas but cost up to 50% less for a savings of $600 a year per baby. See the savings for yourself with this Parent's Choice Savings Calculator.

Enter their “Bag It” sweepstakes at carolinapad.com where three lucky winners will receive a bag filled with Carolina Pad goodies! Contest begins October 4th and they will pick 3 winners at random on November 1st!

They would also like to offer my readers a 20% discount on any bag they order from carolinapadstore.com (Discount code BLOG20). This is an exclusive offer to only a small select group doing this review of their totally cool Studio C bags! I encourage you to check out their website, become a Facebook Fan and follow them on Twitter.

Contest ends October 31st 11:59pm. The Hot Chocolate Everyday Tote I received was provided at no charge by Carolina Pad. No other compensation was given in exchange for this review. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. We wish you the best of Luck!!

Agoo Leggings Healthy Halloween Happiness {Giveaway}

When it comes to looking cute, Agoo Leggings are one of those great products designed to be fashionable and functional all in one. Designed perfectly to fit over baby's legs, they provide warmth from the elements and an added layer under dresses or over short pants. EC babies are still protected, yet easily accessible. No more baggy tights or socks that fall off, these stay on and are always comfortable.

For those crawling, Leg Huggers protect knees and legs from scrapes or abrasions from hard surfaces. Toddlers love their style and individuality when accessorizing outfits. Moms appreciate them for potty training and quick access.

All Agoo Leggings are created specifically for cute and cuddly legs. They are made using sustainable, eco-friendly bamboo.

Bamboo is arguably one of the world's best sustainable resources. With a growth rate of up to a meter or more per day, bamboo holds the world record as the fastest growing plant.

It is said to be the new cotton, since it shares many of the same properties and offers a few advantages. It is more anti-bacterial than other fabrics, which are very absorbent, causing them to hold dampness in. Because bamboo wicks moisture away, it's great for your circulation and skin, preventing over-heating or chills from trapped-in moisture.

Bamboo's is composed of a matrix with various microscopic gaps, which allows the fiber to be more breathable, comfortable and have better thermal regulation than cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers, keeping you cooler, drier and more comfortable. The unique structure also allows bamboo apparel to absorb and evaporate perspiration faster than any other fabric.

It is also hypoallergenic, and its organic, natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to even the most sensitive skin. Bamboo apparel also protects you from UV rays, naturally.

If all that weren't enough, bamboo apparel is good for our ecosystems because it does not require pesticides, insecticides, or fertilizers, and does not involve the use of genetically modified organisms. Most importantly, bamboo fibers are biodegradable. Clothing that looks good, feels good, and is good for the environment.

MYTAGALONGS Are you Prepared? {Review/Giveaway}

As a mom and woman I run into so many unprepared moments such as a broken nail that snags my clothes, my daughter falling down at the park and getting a cut, can't find my pen when I need to write something down, and the list goes on and on and on. MYTAGALONGS created special tool kits that are compact with some of the essentials that will help us out from day to day.

MYTAGALONGS sent me the 911 Tin and the Handywoman's Kit to review. They are both small and easy to carry around in your purse or back pocket. Each one will fit in the palm of your hands. I couldn't believe that so much stuff could fit in these cases especially the Handywoman's Kit. The Handywoman's Kit came with scissors, tweezers, nail file, toothpick, pen, flashlight, ruler, screwdriver, and a magnifier glass. I used each one of these accessories and they all worked perfectly.

The 911 Tin is a little thicker and holds more emergency items that you would need for the "Uh-Oh" moments. The tin case is cute and you can choose which color you want; silver, grey, white, or purple. The 911 Tin comes with 2 flossers, hair elastic, tweezers, sewing kit, bandaids, nail file, and double sided tape. What more could you ask for. This is a must have for any mom or woman.

MYTAGALONGS offers so many more items that will help keep you organized and save you more time. Some of my other favorites from their site are the Purse Organizer, Tampon Tote, and Note Pad of Sticky Notes but please visit their sites and see what will help keep you organized.

Kushyfoot - Massages your Feet with Every Step {Review}

You may remember in August I did a review and giveaway for Kushyfoot. I loved what they sent me and I still wear each one very regularly. They were very gracious and sent me another pair of the Flats-to-Go in Black and the Lace Foot Covers in black and nude.

The regular-cut Lace Foot Covers make me feel super sexy. Their intended to show like sexy foot lingerie. I love just wearing these around the house. Embellished foot covers are expected to be a strong trend and the must-have talked about accessory of the season. They have a cushion that protects the soles of your feet and a suggested retail of $3.49 per pair. That's awesome!!! Only $3.49!!! I would get one in every color or these would make for great stocking stuffers for Christmas. They come in black, white, and nude. These Lace Foot Covers look chic with the new Flats-to-Go.

The Black Flats-to-Go are something that every women needs to have in their wardrobe. They are great to wear after those long hours in heals or for travel. Kushyfoots Flats-to-Go are soft, flexible faux leather, light weight, affordable, and folds up to fit in your purse. They come with a cute clear plastic carrier with its own little handles so take them everywhere you go! They have an elastic back for a better fit and they have NOT slipped off my feet once. They come in black, silver, gold and an average retail value of $8.99.

Kushyfoot is the first hosiery brand to incorporate the ancient healing art of Reflexology in trouser and knee highs, foot covers, toe covers, athletic socks, tights and men's socks to massage with every step.

The massage action works by providing extra comfort through its 3 dimensional padded and wavy design and it provides a cushion between bare feet and the hard soles of a shoe. The Kushyfoot sole helps relieve tension and discomfort in achy feet, thereby helping to relieve stress and fatigue throughout the entire body. These therapeutic socks protect your feet and leave you feeling refreshed all day!

Kushyfoot offers assorted styles to complement every type of footwear from foot covers, toe covers to trouser socks and sheer knee highs for ladies. Also available are tights, sheer and opaque fashion knee socks. These womens hosiery products are made of soft elastane and premium nylon for ultimate comfort and extra durability.

Other categories include athletic socks for men and ladies, made of a blend of combed cotton, nylon and elastane for added cushion in your sport shoes."

(Massage action may vary from wearer to wearer)
