Hey all, Rubyblood here bringing you another giveaway featured in our Holiday Gift Guide.

This is for you all out there needing new pillows to rest your heads on at night. I know a lot of us forget how important a pillow is to our everyday activities. What we don't think about is if we don't feel well we aren't in the best of moods and neck pain can cause the worst of them all.

Check out our review here:

I love pillows and have lots of them to sleep on. A good nights sleep depends a lot on your pillows, if your pillows aren't comfortable, then you can forget about that well needed beauty rest. There is nothing worse than waking up with neck pain because your pillow isn't up to par. If you can use a new set of SmartSilk Pillows, then just enter below on the Rafflecopter. 

EZwipers: Anco Series 31 Wipers Giveaway

Is your vehicle ready for the upcoming winter months? Most people don't think about getting their vehicles ready until the last minute. It's better to be safe than sorry and start preparing now. Winter will be upon us sooner than we think. 

Are you in need of new windshield wiper blades? Most times we don't even think about changing our windshield wipers until they are falling apart. Having a great set of windshield wipers plays a huge role while driving. You never know when you are going to be caught in a rain storm, snow storm, etc...If your windshield wiper blades aren't working properly, then you are potentially putting yourself and your family at risk for an accident. 

We recently had the opportunity to review a pair of Anco 31 Series windshield wiper blades for our 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. Check out our review HERE!

MnC Reviews had teamed up with EZwipers to bring you an awesome giveaway for a set of front and passenger Anco Series 31 wiper blades. All you have to do is enter on the Rafflecopter below.

EZWipers: Anco Series 31 Wipers Review

Fall is here with all of the gorgeous colors and cooler weather and with that also comes preparation for Winter. Because Old Man Winter will be here before you know it. If you live in an area that is subject to rain, snow and ice during the winter months, then one off the things that you prepare is your vehicle, and a great way to start is with your windshield wipers. 

We recently had the opportunity to review a set of front and passenger Anco Series 31 wiper blades for our 2006 Chrysler Town and Country van from EZwipers.

First, let's talk about browsing EZwipers site and ordering. The EZwipers website is the easiest website I have ever used.  They make searching for your windshield wiper blades a breeze and you don't even have to create an account. All in all, you can easily place an order in about 90 seconds. I don't know about you, but that is wonderful for me. I can't even go into an auto parts store and find the wiper blades I need in 90 seconds. 

The owners of EZwipers.com spent a lot of time creating a site that is simple and fast. No guest accounts to create☺ Ordering wiper blades online takes the pain out of going to the big box store or auto parts store and then trying to figure out which wipers you need using the one of those Wiper computer terminals.

Check out EZwipers Press Release HERE

When our windshield wiper blades arrived, I was extremely happy because they had very detailed installation instructions right on the back of the package. I don't mean a quick little paragraph that tells you how, but full step by step instructions with illustrations. 

My husband has taken the old windshield wiper blades off in preparation to install the Anco Series 31 wiper blades for our 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. 

Right in the middle of the installation of our new windshield wiper blades.

We are done! Both Anco Series 31 wiper blades for our 2006 Chrysler Town and Country have been installed and look great. Total installation took less than 5 minutes. Thanks to EZwipers we are now ready to meet winter head on with our new windshield wipers. Don't they look great? 

We are extremely happy with not only how easy the Anco Series 31 wiper blades were to install, but how well they are made and most importantly, how well they work. We are so glad that EZwipers has helped us to worry about one less thing in getting our vehicle ready for winter.

Hugo the Happy Starfish: One Step at a Time Ebook Review

Being an avid reader myself, I am trying to instill that love of reading into each of my five children. Not only is reading an important part of life, but it opens up a whole new world in their imagination. The can explore all types of adventures, just by opening the pages of a book. I love the fact that they are all creative in their own way and I know that reading helps with that. 

I was recently given the opportunity to review a children's book called Hugo The Happy Starfish: One Step At a Time!

Come on a sea adventure with HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH as he finds out that

HAPPINESS STARTS WITH COMMITMENT.

“ONE STEP AT A TIME Happiness Begins One Step At A Time”

is a great tale to teach commitment.

Hugo is a little starfish with a big sense of adventure. One day he finds an empty candy wrapper with a picture of a huge chocolate mountain. Usually when Hugo finds trash in the ocean it upsets him but this time what he found made him curious. Hugo discovers that his chocolate mountain is in fact a real mountain, which is called the Matterhorn and is located in Switzerland. He decides to set off on a journey to find this mountain – a huge challenge for a little starfish! Hugo learns to take one step at a time and to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Join Hugo as he finds the secret of perseverance when the road gets difficult.

ONE STEP AT A TIME is a story about the need for perspective, whatever mountains we face. This book is the perfect way to each kids to divide big challenges into little chunks and to take things one step at a time.

Having never read any of the Hugo the Happy Starfish books, I was excited to have the opportunity to review this children's book. From the very first page, Hugo the Happy Starfish grabs your attention and brings you right into the story with him. Following Hugo from the depths of the ocean floor to the top of The Matterhorn, is a huge adventure where Hugo the Happy Starfish has to travel a great distance and battle the cold and snow. He gets cold and tired, but yet, he never gives up, no matter how badly he wants to. He perseveres!!! Hugo the Happy Starfish takes it One Step At A Time!!!

This is a wonderful story with great illustrations that teach our children to seize the day. They learn all about feelings and emotions and it teaches them that no matter the size of the challenge, just take it one step at a time. Had Hugo the Happy Starfish given up, he would have never made it to the top of The Matterhorn and learned that great sense of pride in accomplishing his goals. He set his goal and no matter the challenges he faced, he didn't give up on his commitment to finish. 

I greatly enjoyed this children's book and so did my 5 children. They loved following along with Hugo the Happy Starfish on his amazing journey. 

Yesterday is history - Tomorrow is a mystery - 

Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present!

Character Development for Children

Believing that happiness can be learned, feelings can be understood and that building character based on a positive attitude leads to happy, content, self-confident and successful human beings, I have created this exciting series of charming books about HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH.

The series of books on character education aims to help educate children about their feelings, their attitude, their choices and the consequences that follow and includes an introduction to the Spanish language, lessons of character, ecological alertness and life skills--all amid a backdrop of a colourful island and mystical underwater world.

I have always had a love for teaching and helping others. Being able to share the wisdom of the right attitude through my stories gave my life a new goal to make a difference in the world.

Today I live my dream of helping others to find the right attitude for life - because life gets so much easier with the right attitude. We might not be able to control life's circumstances or other people's actions however we can control our attitude towards them.

With lots of LOVE and HAPPINESS,

Suzy Liebermann

Zangadoo App Review

Everyone loves games, whether they are computer games, video games or even apps for your phones. Let's face it, we all play some sort of game at one time or another. 

I was recently given the opportunity to try a new game on my iPhone. Zangadoo! 

Help Zangadoo and his little brother Joey find their way home after losing their magic boomerang.

With the support of their closest mates Emily Emu, Platypus, Barnaby Budgie, Wally Wombat, and Cooper Koala, you can help our stars navigate five challenging levels: the Outback, Billabong, Rainforest, Beach, and then back home to Zillaroo, Australia.

Along the way pesky dingoes, crocodiles and other exhilarating Australian obstacles make for a wild and amazing adventure. And when things get a little scary, Zangadoo's magic boomerang is right at your finger tips to help save the day!

Boomerangaroo!

I am not much of a gamer, but I couldn't wait to try Zangadoo. I downloaded it right away and went to playing. Of course, my husband had to take it over. That's ok though, as I grabbed his iPhone and downloaded the Zangadoo app on it as well. 

It wasn't long after we started playing that all of our children had to get in on it, so the 2 phones were being passed from child to child and of course, parent to parent. Zangadoo is a really fun game that the whole family can enjoy. Even our 3 year old twins play. 

Its a great Australian game that really pulls you in. With plenty of animals, scenery and adventure to occupy the kids or the husband for a while. 

Here are a few screen shots taken right from my iPhone during game play. 

If you love apps and the Outback, then I highly recommend Zangadoo.  Not only is Zangadoo fun, but it's Free too!!! Download it today!!!

While you are at it, don't forget these awesome coloring pages for the kids!

MnC Reviews would like to Thank Zangadoo for the opportunity to review their fun app.

Build A Bear My Little Pony Princess Twilight Sparkle Review

When you have 5 children like we do, you have a house over run with toys, especially stuffed animals of all shapes and sizes. They all have their most favorite that constantly sleeps with them or is always on their bed. Granted, these stuffed toys have all seen much better days as they are old and have really been put through the ringer by our children, but I just don't have it in me to get rid of them not matter how torn up they are. 

Recently, I was given the opportunity to review a stuffed toy from Build A Bear. I have heard so many great things about Build A Bear but honestly, even with 5 children, I have never been in one of their stores. Sad to say, I have never lived close enough to one, or even been shopping where there is one. 

Never fear though, as I learned that you can shop right on line and customize and build your very own right from the comforts of your home. For my review, I chose the True Friend My Little Pony Princess Twilight Sparkle. 

When you find a true friend, it's magical! You're guaranteed to find a lifelong friendship filled with imagination with PRINCESS TWLIGHT SPARKLE®. This princess gift is perfect for MY LITTLE PONY fans! It comes with PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE® dressed in the Coronation Cape and Gold Bow Flats, and MINI SPIKE THE DRAGON.

Before I even get into discussing the My Little Pony Princess Twilight Sparkle, let me tell you how my package came. I was completely surprised at how much detail Build A Bear not only puts into their toys, but their packaging is amazing. 

Pictured are all 4 sides of the box. The scenes are very detailed and illustrated so well, my daughter was ready to grab the crayons and get to coloring. 

My Little Pony Princess Twilight Sparkle is absolutely beautiful. Build A Bear left no details undone with her, from the top of her head to the bottom of her shoes. Her colors are beautiful and vibrant, her stitching is the best I have ever seen on a stuffed toy, and her cape and crown are exceptional. Any princess would appreciate Princess Twilight Sparkle. 

I was really surprised with her weight as I am used to stuffed toys being flimsy and extremely lightweight. Not with Princess Twilight Sparkle. She stands nicely on her own. 

Let's not forget about her friend...Spike the Dragon. He is absolutely adorable too and has beautiful vibrant colors that match really well with Princess Twilight Sparkle. Though Spike isn't as big or as weighted as Princess Twilight Sparkle, don't let his size fool you. They make a great team!

Spike the Dragon is very well made too. His stitching is also impeccable and the kids love him. 

Build A Bear doesn't leave out anything, they even send you a Birth Certificate to personalize. I think this is wonderful as it makes the toy mean so much more to a child when they can name it and give it a birth date. I highly recommend framing it for your child to hang on their wall. 

After taking plenty of time to review Princess Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon, I have to say, I am highly impressed with the quality of these toys. I have seen plenty of stuffed toys in my life and continue to see them at stores on a regular, but Build A Bear really takes the cake over all other stuffed animals. 

With 5 children, these 2 toys have really been put to the test in my house, and you know what, they still look as new as the day we took them out of the box. How many toys can you honestly say that about? In my household, none until Build A Bear. Usually within a week, we have some toy that has gotten a tear or a hole, but that hasn't been the case with Princess Twilight Sparkle or Spike the Dragon even after several weeks. My daughter laid claim to both of them as she is the princess of the house, but all of the children play with them. 

I highly recommend Build A Bear for all of your stuffed toy needs. You can pick out one of the pre-made ones on the site or even customize your own. Can't make it to a store? No problem, just shop online HERE.

Ozeri Cardio Tech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Review

Everyone worries about their health at one point or another in their life, even if they have always been healthy. As my husband and I have gotten older and now have 5 children ranging in ages from 3-10, we of course have started to worry about our health a little more. We want to be able to grow with our children and also be able to keep up with the energy. 

We were recently given the opportunity to work with a really great company called Ozeri. We were able to choose the item that we wanted to review, so being health conscious now, we decided to review the Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor . 

CardioTech products offer clinically proven technology and are used by physicians and hospitals around the world. Compact, portable and simple-to-use, the Ozeri CardioTech BP5K Blood Pressure Monitor is an advanced wrist cuff monitor with a new intelligent voice-guided feature that alerts you to the proper positioning of your wrist for accurate blood pressure measurements. The audible voice also automatically provides a hypertension assessment after each measurement. With ample memory, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor stores up to 180 blood pressure readings with date and time memory recall (90 readings x 2 users), and automatically classifies each blood pressure reading according to World Health Organization hypertension guidelines. It calculates average blood pressure readings based on all readings in memory, AM versus PM readings, or the 3 most recent readings. The Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor also detects irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia) for an improved understanding of your heart's health. Backed by a 5 year warranty, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor ships with 2 AAA batteries included, a carrying case and user manual.

 New intelligent voice-guided feature alerts you to the proper positioning of your wrist for accurate blood pressure measurements.

Automatically provides an audible hypertension assessment via a new talking function (as well as a display on the LCD screen).

Portable, accurate, and simple-to-use with clinically proven technology, stores 180 blood pressure readings (90 x 2 users) with date and time recordings.

Automatic Irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia) detection and Hypertension Indicator.

Push-button access to average blood pressure readings based on all readings in memory, AM versus PM readings, or the 3 most recent readings.

Of course, we have always been used to the Blood Pressure Monitors that are used at the Doctors office and hospitals, as we have both had the unfortunate pleasure of having to be subjected to them quite a bit. The huge cuffs that they (the doctors and hospitals) have to slip over your arm all the way up past your elbow and then once activated, it feels like it is sucking all of the life out of your arm. 

I was so excited when we received the package and opened it up. Not only was the Blood Pressure Monitor a nice compact size, but everything you need was right there in the box, even the batteries. It also includes a very nice case to store everything in so you never have to worry about damage. 

How easy is the Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor to use? 

Of course, we wanted to try it out right away and were concerned with having to set it up. We inserted the batteries, wrapped it around my husbands wrist and turned it on. As soon as the Blood Pressure Monitor was turned on, a nice voice started talking and telling us where to position my husbands arm. That's right, the Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor has voice guided operation! Check out the video that we recorded below...

The Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor  is not only very comfortable to wear, but extremely easy to use. I was so surprised with how fast it is. As you can see from the video, from the moment you turn it on, to getting your arm correctly positioned to your final reading, it all takes less than 2 minutes. My husband and I are both amazed at how accurately it reads not only your blood pressure but your hear rate as well. The fact that is also provides an audible hypertension assessment and has Arrhythmia (Irregular Heartbeat) Detection are just added bonuses.

We highly recommend the Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor  whether you are someone that has health problems or are just like us and becoming more health conscious. This Blood Pressure Monitor is perfect to have in your home and also compact and convenient enough to take anywhere with you.

25 Things You Should Know

1. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

2. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

3. Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

4. Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

5. To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.

6. For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.

7. Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

8. Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm!

9. Reheat Pizza
