Little Scout Review

"Welcome to Little Scout, a new online shop especially for young boys. Our aim is to find different toys and other fun things for boys who want to discover, build and conquer the world around them, in a way that comes naturally to every budding young pioneer. And as our products will have more than a dash of retro style, we hope that you'll love them too."

I am very excited to tell you about a really cool company that I came across recently; Little Scout.

Little Scout is a company that offers tons of toys for boys. I don't know about your son, but my little guy has a very short attention span. He has what seems like millions of toys and still constantly complains that he is bored. At Little Scout, you can find lots of unique toys that are sure to keep your child's attention for longer than a few seconds.

With Spring already showing up here in NC, I chose a fun review product that my son could use outdoors, which is his favorite place to be! I had the chance to review the Outdoor Explorer Kit, and I was really impressed by it!

Here is a little about the Outdoor Explorer Kit (from their website):

This Outdoor Explorer Kit contains everything you need to discover nature close up.
Kit Contains: A4 sketchpad, coloured pencils, LED headlamp with batteries, drawstring backpack, magnifying glass, bug checklist & tips on keeping a nature journal.

My son took this outside to play this week, and had a blast. He didn't just spend a few minutes playing with all of the items included, he spent well over an hour exploring our backyard, looking for bugs and sketching things that he thought were interesting. He wore the headlamp the entire time, which was really cute, especially considering it was a bright and sunny day out! I love the drawstring backpack that is included that helps keep all the items together and ready for his next outdoor adventure!

All of the items were made of excellent quality, and I can see them lasting quite a while, even in the hands of my little explorer. I am really pleased with the Outdoor Explorer Kit overall, and I would recommend it to any parent who has a child that loves exploring outdoors. I am definitely considering purchasing the 'Adventure Walks for Families' book from Little Scouts, for ideas to make our backyard an exciting journey that our whole family can explore!

Also, you can purchase Picture Keeper from many widely distributed catalogs such as Crutchfield, Hammacher Schlemmer, National Geographic, Sharper Image, Solutions and Stoneberry."

Today I am happy to tell you about a new product that I found: Picture Keeper. I recieved the Picture Keeper 4 for review purposes.

Just last week my family visited Disney World for the first time. It was an amazing trip, and needless to say, we took a TON of pictures while we were there. We're talking nearly a thousand photos that are now our treasured memories of our awesome vacation. I always worry that if my computer crashes, I will lose all of my photos and to date, I have not had any way of backing them up in case something like this happened. Now with Picture Keeper, I can save all of these photos, along with the other photos on my computer on one compact little device.

Picture Keeper 4 can hold up to 4,000 photos (based on photo size). Outside of the safety of having my photos stored on an external device, I also love the fact that the process to backup your photos is as simple as can be. You simply plug in your Picture Keeper, open the program and click Start Backup, then unplug and store in a safe place. No obnoxious downloads or passwords needed. I love products that are efficient and simple to use, and I found this product to be both of these things!

I would highly recommend Picture Keeper to anyone and everyone. It is such an easy way to store all of your precious memories on one small device, and always have a backup of your photos should your computer crash.

BUY IT! You can purchase the Picture Keeper at www.picturekeeper.com.

WIN IT! One lucky reader will win the Picture Keeper 4 (ARV: $30)!

Become.com: Comparison Shopping Website

Today I want to tell you about a website that I found: Become.com. Become.com allows shoppers to compare prices and shop for discounts online so that they receive the lowest possible prices. You can search all kinds of name brand retailers and find basically any product that you can think of!

You can find any type of shoes, from cheap minnetontka moccasins to the "mary jane" womens clog at very affordable prices.  I personally found some really great deals on Crocs slip-ons and Roxy flats! You can also use become.com to search for hard to find items, such as a mastectomy lap suit.

I love all of the great search options at become.com and have already found lots of great deals! If you are looking for a specific item, or just shopping around, be sure to use a comparison website such as become.com to find the best deals on the items that you want.

Sponsored Post: A red carpet look that will be flattering for prom

Guest post written by Janie Thomas

If going prom dress shopping with my daughter has taught me anything, it's that the most surprising ships end up being flattering! And sometimes the most basic shapes can't look good on everyone. It really can fool you looking at the stars on the red carpet and figuring out how they can look so amazing in these dresses and then see someone in real life trying them on!

My daughter is an athlete and in great shape too. I guess it just really is so much about your body type to see how something will fit you. We were checking out some dresses online before our trip to the mall to try on dresses when I ran across info on Debt Settlement Family. I'd heard of it before and knew our debt was to the point where we needed outside help, so we're going to get it from them.

We also found some flattering dress tips in relation to red carpet looks. Never would I have thought that having extra fabric, like the peplum shape, around you waist would be flattering but it really is! She ended up picking one out that was kind of Tina Fey's Oscars dress and she couldn't be more excited about it.
