March Madness Giveaway: Dapper Snappers Kids Belts $25 GC Ends 3/20

With three boys my youngest gets a lot of hand-me-downs.  Plus, I do a lot of shopping at garage sales.  Between the two,  half of my 5 year old's pants are too big around the waist.  Not to mention he hit a growth spurt and grew taller but slimmed in the waist.  We just recently potty trained so traditional belts are just an invitation to disaster.  That's why I was so excited to find Dapper Snappers; they are kids belts that only use the back 3 loops!  They're elastic and adjustable so they don't need to be removed for diaper change or trips to the potty.  Simply slip them through the back three loops and snap to size.  With their clips they can even be used without belt loops.

I really love Dapper Snappers and even plan on buying a couple of their Dapper Snappers for Moms for myself!

Dapper Snappers are:

• Affordable (Find a Retailer near you)
• Versatile in a wide range of colors for girls belts and boys belts
• Recommended for ages 9 mo-6 yrs and One Size Fits All
• Perfect for kids who are in between sizes or wearing hand-me-downs!
• Convenient – no need to remove for diaper changes & doesn’t impede potty training
• Made in the USA
• Mom-invented
• Compliant with CPSIA regulations. http://www.DapperSnappers.com/safety

Buy It!
Dapper Snappers are available in both boy belts and girl belts, solids and prints.  They have clips for use without belt loops and even belts for women!

Win It!
One lucky Hot Mom Tips reader will receive one $25 GC usable on the Dapper Snapper website.

Ideas That Spark: Smart Living: Cut a Three-Hour Clean to 30 Minutes

From the Editors of Ideas That Spark

By Gail Belsky





If you had two or three hours to spare, you could easily spend it cleaning your kitchen, bathroom and family room. They are the most heavily used rooms in your home, and they get dirty fast. Or you could spend 10 minutes cleaning each one and use the rest of the time for something a lot more fun.
The trick to speedy cleanups is to reduce the amount of products you use and to clean only what needs to be cleaned. Unless you’re fanatical about removing dust bunnies from under the couch, make that a monthly chore. Mop the kitchen floor twice a month instead of every week, and allot an extra 10 minutes for that task. Meanwhile, you can do a quick and effective cleanup -- either all at once or a little each day -- in no time at all.

Kitchen: Get Gleaming
The secret to a speedy kitchen cleanup is one of the cheapest products around: plain old vinegar. Either white or cider vinegar on a paper towel can clean and shine the sink, counter and appliances -- including stainless steel. (Don’t use on marble, however. It can damage the surface.) Before you start, clear off countertop clutter, and load dirty dishes into the dishwasher.
Dirty floor? You should have time for a quick sweep. But if you want to mop up too, cleaning expert Donna Smallin, author of Cleaning Plain and Simple and the One-Minute Cleaner (Storey Publishing), suggests checking out the new Bissell Steam and Sweep: “It leaves the floor clean and dry in a few minutes.”

Bathroom: Spray, Wipe and Go
Step 1: Pour 1/2 cup of bleach into the toilet, and let it sit.
Step 2: Spray the shower walls and door with daily shower cleaner.
Step 3: In the meantime, focus on the countertop, sink and mirror. You’ll only need one product for all three, according to Smallin: glass cleaner. For the mirror, use a rag, not paper towel, to avoid scratches.
Step 4: Return to the toilet. Scrub the bowl and under the rim with a toilet brush, and flush.
Step 5: Use disinfectant wipes for the outside and the seat.
You’re done!

Family/Living Room: Swipe and Sweep
Quickly vacuum the floor and sofa cushions wherever you see crumbs or pet hair. (If you can’t see it, don’t sweat it. You can do a proper sweep-up later on).
Clear off the coffee table, but don’t bother with furniture polish or oil soap. Just dampen a microfiber cloth with water and swipe it over tables, lamps and any other surfaces.
And for easy clutter reduction, Smallin suggests tossing items that belong elsewhere into a laundry basket -- and taking it somewhere else to put away!

Ideas That Spark: Home Style: The Cleaning Cheat Sheet

The Cleaning Cheat Sheet From the Editors of Ideas That Spark By Nancy Kalish Feel like you never stop cleaning? A 2008 University of Michigan survey found that American women scrub their houses an astonishing average of 17 hours a week, and (no surprise) their spouses spend a lot less time with a sponge. The good news: “Such drudgery is totally unnecessary,” says Jeff Bredenberg, author of How to Cheat at Cleaning: Time-Slashing Techniques to Cut Corners and Restore Your Sanity. Follow his tips to make short work of your housework. Keep Dirt Outside Establish a no-shoe rule inside your home, and you’ll prevent all kinds of muck from ever touching your floors. Place a basket by the front door and ask everyone to deposit footwear there. Cover up Using washable slipcovers on couches and upholstered chairs won’t prevent spills, but it will keep them from becoming a permanent stain. If you can’t bear to cover up all the time, use the slipcovers on high-risk occasions, such as kids’ parties (think: drippy chocolate ice cream and sticky lollipops) or holiday gatherings (red wine and salsa). So many colors and styles are available that you don’t even need to spring for custom-made ones. Just make sure you can pop them in the washing machine. Get a Disposable Countertop Next time you cook something messy, cover the counter with wax paper. It will keep your space clean when you grate cheese, set down a sauce-covered spoon or bake cupcakes. Afterward, just crumple up the paper -- and the mess. Make Appliances Clean Themselves Food processor or blender Fill half with water, add a squirt of dishwashing liquid, close lid and turn on. The food will spin off the blades. Then just rinse. Garbage disposal Empty a tray of ice cubes into the disposal, throw in some orange peels, then grind until ice disappears. Any bad smells will go with it. Microwave Heat two cups of water in a microwave-safe bowl on high for five minutes. The steam will loosen cooked-on splatters. Then simply wipe away with a paper towel. Buy Denture Tablets Throw one into your toilet bowl to make stains vanish overnight. The next morning, just brush a tiny bit and flush. Denture tablets also remove coffee and tea stains from mugs and get rid of crusty buildup in the bottom of flower vases. Just fill with hot water and drop one in. Get Rid of Pet Hair If you have a dog or cat, you probably also have a couch or drapes covered with clingy pet hair. To remove it easily, warm a dryer sheet and rub it over the material. This zaps the static cling, allowing the hair to fall off so it can be vacuumed up quickly. Can It Don’t waste time trying to dust the crannies of computer keyboards or piano keys. Instead, just give the dust a fast blast with a can of compressed air -- sold at office supply stores. This also works on pleated lampshades and chandeliers. Know When to Stop No matter how much you scrub, certain household items, such as door mats, stovetop drip pans and shower curtains, will never come completely clean. So when they get too soiled, bite the bullet and replace them.

Great Giveaway: SKOY Natural Multi-Use Cloths Ends 2/6

SKOY cloth is a ...

100% biodegradable
Absorbent
Re-usable
European-made
Clean
and Fun…

Multi-use cloth

Ok, I've got to just tell you right off, I love these cloths!  They are truly great!  I use them for everything: soaking up spills, wipe down counters, dusting, cleaning the bathroom and washing dishes.  The Skoy cloth is super absorbant with an absorption factor of 15x its own weight.  A single Skoy cloth is so durable it can be reused for months, replacing up to 15 rolls of paper towels.  They are machine washable and dishwasher-safe.  I wouldn't recommend drying in the dryer, although they are dryer-safe, because they will shrink, but there's really no need since they dry so quickly on their own.  To sanitize simply wet it and pop it in the microwave for a minute or two. SKOY is made from a unique blend of natural cotton and cellulose from wood. SKOY is both biodegradable and compostable. An independent composting test showed that SKOY broke down completely within 5 weeks. Bottom-line,  I cannot praise these cloths enough.  I very highly recommend them and will definitely be buying more, for myself and as gifts!

Buy It!
You can buy Skoy Cloths directly from the Skoy Website, Amazon.com or one of these E-tailers and local Retailers.

Win It!
One lucky Hot Mom Tips reader will win a multi-colored 4-pack of SKOY cloths.

Product Review: Oliver's Labels Personalized Kids' Labels

Oliver's Labels are washing machine and dishwasher safe personalized labels.  They have all types and designs of labels.  My son chose the sports theme and we were sent a sample pack.  I really like their Stick-Eez clothing labels, they are no-sew, no-iron labels that you just stick on the care tag.  For tag-less clothes they also have iron-on labels that are easy to put on, and this coming from someone who is seriously domestically challenged.  Some of their other types of labels include safety wristbands, shoe labels and bag tags.  Oliver's labels designs range from cute to elegant to allergy alerts.

My favorite thing about Oliver's Labels is their Found-It code.  This is a lost and found code that you can get on your labels for free.  If an item is lost, whoever finds it can go to the website listed on the label and enter your code. Your code is tied to your email and Oliver's Labels acts as a go between to recover your stuff.  Your personal information is kept safe.  This is so much better than putting your phone number on your stuff.

Buy It! You can purchase Oliver's Labels from their website.  You can purchase individual types or one of their packages.  They also offer custom packages so you can get exactly what you need.

Connect! You can connect with Oliver's Labels by Facebook, Twitter and RSS

Great Giveaway: Family Facts Activity Wall Calendar Ends 12/19

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

One of my New Year's resolutions, in fact the most important to me, is to get the family organized.  Now that all 3 kids are in school and participating in extracurricular activities we really need a way to keep everyone's schedule straight.  I had been just keeping all appointments and activities on my phone.  That works great to remind me an hour before, but it doesn't help anyone else know what's going on.  It really irritates my husband because sometimes he won't find out about an appointment until I'm getting ready to go.  While this system has been working better than none, I'm actually getting to most of my appointments, it's not enough.  I need a way to keep everyone's schedule in one place that's easily accessible to the whole family.  Family Facts Activity Wall Calendar does just that.

FROM THE WEBSITE:
An organizer for the wall! This organizer calendar is the perfect 16-month planner for every busy family. Complete with extra-large grids to keep track of each day's events, large storage pocket, over 390 stickers, write-on / wipe off boards, a pen-with an eraser, and contact sheets for important information such as the pediatrician, dentist, orthodontist, veterinarian, school, bus company and much more. This all-in-one command center makes it EASY to stay on top of your busy family's schedules.Each day is divided into 5 colors, so if you choose to organize by color, you can, without having to grab different colored pens. From soccer games to business trips, EVERYONE'S schedule is easy to follow with 2011 Family Facts Family Activity Wall Calendar.

Order for the holidays and get a free pad of paper--makes a great stocking stuffer. Offer ends 12/17/10.

MY THOUGHTS:
Family Facts Activity Wall Calendar is just what I needed.  I love the colored spaces for each member of the family, it saves space not having to write in the names and I can see at a glance who has what.  I also love the stickers, they are especially great for my 5 year old who's learning to read.  I also love the fact that it is dry erase.  Schedules are constantly changing so it's great to be able to just erase and rewrite them.  The large pocket is awesome and the spaces for notes and contacts are very useful.  I highly recommend Family Facts Activity Wall Calendar.

BUY IT!

Family Facts Activity Wall Calendar can be purchased from Calendars.com for only $12.95

Great Giveaway: Teach Them to Tie with Tie Buddies Ends 12/19

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

Learning to tie can be one of the most difficult challenges for little ones.  Not only do they need to learn the steps necessary to tie, they also have to learn how to hold and what to do with loops.  This can be very confusing and difficult for little fingers.  Enter Tie Buddies.  Tie Buddies go on the laces and essentially make the loops for them, teaching them how to hold the laces while they learn to tie.  Tie Buddies were invented by a mother trying to figure out a way to teach her own children to tie.  They currently come in 2 designs, fairies for girls and race cars for boys.

My Thoughts

Jordan isn't quite ready to learn to tie, his favorite shoes are velcro.  But when I can get him to wear his shoes with laces he's getting better at tying and it's definately thanks to Tie Buddies.  I think these are really great for when kids are ready to learn to tie.  I highly recommend this product.  It makes a great stocking stuffer!  Even though he's still learning, Jordan was really excited when he got these.  He loves the design and thinks they make his shoes look "cool."

Buy It

Tie Buddies can be purchased from Tiebuddies.com for only $8.99 a set.

Win It
One lucky Hot Mom Tips reader will win a set of Tie Buddies of their own.
