CSN Stores $35 Giveaway!


I love Modern Design, just a few classic pieces and no clutter. My home does not reflect this at all, especially the no clutter part. I love the way simple pieces make such a statement. Since we're talking about making a statement, how cool is this Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair. I love it. Just looking at it makes me feel more relaxed. Place it in a clean, quiet room and I'm pretty sure I'd be out for an afternoon nap. (Until someone told my kids where I was!) Some day, maybe my inner designer will be able to figure out a way to incorporate pieces like this into my house.

Currently, I may be able to work in a chair more like this Dutailier Intermezzo Glider. I love this Oeuf Toddler Bed as well.
These pieces are all found at the CSN Store AllModern.com. Just in case you aren't yet familiar with CSN stores, they have over 200 specialty stores where you can find just about anything. My experience with them has been nothing but positive. I have found nearly every item I have looked to buy online, at one of their stores, very competitively priced. If you haven't already, take a look around and I think you'll be surprised at what you find.

CSN Stores and Deal Friends are giving away a $35 gift code, good at any of their 200+ stores, to one reader. Here's how you can win:

Ocean Saline Products Now For Kids - Review and Giveaway

Your little ones nose is very sensitive during the winter, especially if you live in a dry climate. Keeping their nose moist will help keep them comfortable and healthy. Ocean has made it easier with a new line of nasal saline developed just for kids. It is a non-medicated nasal saline spray that is designed for moisturizing dry nasal passages in newborns and children up to age 12. Ocean for Kids is safe for every day use and has a smaller nozzle. I am currently using this products on two sick kids. They haven't fought it at all and I have been pleased with it. They haven't complained of dry noses at all since using it.

Ocean has products to keep mom and dad healthy as well. Ocean Complete is my favorite. It is a 2-in-1 product that comes with separate tips. One tip allows you to use it as a fine saline mist, great for keeping nasal passages moist. The second allows you to use the product much like a Neti-Pot, but this comes pre-mixed. You can use it daily for sinus irrigation. My nose always feels dry, thanks to sinus and allergy problems. I have felt much better since using Ocean Complete. Doctors seem to be recommending these products more and more to me. (Ocean is the #1 recommended brand) It makes sense that when your nasal passages are dry, germs and allergens can freely pass through. I have been happy with these products and will continue to purchase them when the bottles I currently have are gone. Visit Ocean Nasal Care and you can sign up to receive a $3 off coupon.

Win 3 Full Size Ocean Products: Ocean for Kids, Ocean Complete and Ocean Premium! Here are the details:

Juno Baby Review and Giveaway


Juno Baby is a new company founded by a mom, PhD. and Emmy Award winning composer. My children recently received one of a currently expanding line of DVD's from the Juno Company. The Day the Music Stopped is geared toward pre-school children. This particular title teaches rhythm, melody and harmony. The pre-school line focuses on music appreciation and education with original orchestral music and engaging, interactive stories.

I wasn't sure about this before we watched it. I really wasn't sure my kids would watch it. I was SO wrong. They were both glued to the TV the entire show. They were singing along and talking to the characters. We all loved the bright colors and cute characters. They had no idea they were watching a music lesson.

In The Day the Music Stopped, Bunny presses the big red button on the Shush Machine and accidentally silences the town of Harmonia Springs. Juno and her friends have to create their own music to bring the music back. This is where they learn the lessons about rhythm, harmony and melody. Once they have those pieces, they have music.

The Juno Company offers products from both the Juno Baby and Juno Jr lines. You can check out The Day the Music Stopped and the other products here. Also, through 1/27, you can find their products for up to 60% off on Zulily.

You can feel good about a purchase from the Juno Company. Your child will be learning from what they are watching and you are helping others learn to. Through their One For All program, every time a Juno Baby product is sold; one is donated to a child in need.

I have a copy of The Day the Music Stopped and a Juno Baby tote bag to give away to one reader. Here is how you can win:

Mandatory Entry:
