Review and Giveaway: Sentry Safe and a Tax Time Survival Kit

February 19, 2012 By 34 Comments

 

It’s that time of year again – Tax Time! If you’re like me, it’s a stressful time and I’m always trying to get all my documents together and organized before I sit down with my husband to do our taxes.

SentrySafe wants to Make Taxes Less Taxing by helping you out this tax season by getting organized and keeping your documents safe. Head over to this fun website when you need a break and play games, enter to win prizes and check out some tax tips!

Every household should have a fire-proof safe to protect all your valuables. I’ve always been worried if something would happen to our house and had important documents about our house and cars, birth certificates and CD’s of pictures in a box. But if something would happen I would have lost them. A fire-proof safe protects all of those items that can’t be replaced.

We were sent the HD4100, a Waterproof Fire-Safe File.

This safe is perfect for the home or the office. It holds up to 40 standard hanging folders, so it’s perfect to hold all your tax documents and other important items. The lid also provides organization and easy access to items like passports, flash drives and more. The safe features a privacy key lock with two keys to help limit access to who needs it!

In preparation for doing our taxes, I put together a Tax Time Survival Kit!

My Tax Time Survival Kit includes: 

- Notebook

- Nice, comfortable black pens

- Tylenol for any headaches that may pop up

- Post-it Notes for easy reminders

- Snack! I got some Reeses Fast Break Candy

- Iced Coffee [We were going to need some caffeine to keep us going!}

SentrySafe wants you to be prepared this tax season and they are giving one lucky reader a HD4100 Fire-Proof Safe and a $25 Walmart Gift Card to create your own Tax Survival Kit!

Review & Giveaway: Win a $149 LG Remarq Kid-Friendly Cell Phone from kajeet

February 18, 2012 By 25 Comments

 

 

These days, technology is everywhere. I have friends who have children that are ages 10-12 and all of their kids are begging for a phone. Before I was a Mom, I used to think there’s no reason a child that young needs a phone. But these days, I’ve definitely been thinking differently. A phone can actually be a good thing for a child, as long as a parent is watching over them. When I think of Hayden being older and being without me I want to be able to get a hold of him when I need to and vice versa! But can you really trust a kid not to use their phone to go online, use up all your minutes or go over your text limit?

If you’re thinking about getting a phone for your child or teenager, look into kajeet cellular phones – phones specifically designed for children!

Not only are the kid cell phones from kajeet affordable, they are also safe and let the parents choose the features available on the phone!

Check out some of the great features that kajeet offers!

No Contracts, Activation Fees or Early Termination Fees.

kajeet understands that kids are always changing their minds. With kajeet, you’re not locked into a contract, there’s no activation fees or outrageous early termination fees like other phone companies.

Easy Parental Controls

With the parental controls, you can decide how many minutes and text messages are allowed. You can even control who your child calls and texts and when!

With the Time Manager, you can make sure your child can’t make or receive calls and texts during school or after bedtime.

The Feature Manager lets you control if your child has mobile internet access and the ability to download ringtones and games or even receive pictures!

GPS Phone Locator

Yup, I’m going to be one of those Moms who wants to know exactly where their child is. {Can I be like that when he’s in his twenties too?} I love the option of a phone having a GPS so you can instantly locate where they are.

 

kajeet cell phones are on the Sprint service, so you will have nationwide coverage also. Since kajeet is the company providing the service you won’t have access to things like Spring Navigation, Social Zone, Sprint TV and more.

The kajeet website is very easy to navigate also. First, you choose your phone. All of the available phones are Android phones like LG cell phones or even the HTC Evo Shift!

Once you choose your phone, it’s time to choose a service plans. Service plans start at just $4.99 a month. The most popular plan is only $19.99 a month and that includes unlimited texting, picture messaging, parental controls, GPS locator and 150 anytime minutes.

Fill out your information and then the phone is sent to you!

 

I received the LG Remarq to review, which has a slide out QWERTY keyboard, a built-in MP3 player and even a 1.3 MP camera! This it the perfect phone for your child or tween!

I love that parents have total control of the phone. Bad grade or missed curfew? Subtract texts and minutes! Good grade? Add some minutes!

Review and Giveaway: 39DollarGlasses.com

January 31, 2012 By 1 Comment

 

 

 

I have been wearing glasses for over 6 years now and I have to confess. I’ve had the same frames for over 6 years too. When I purchased my glasses way back when I spent over $400 for glasses and as the years passed, I just didn’t want to spend the money on getting new frames. Little did I know, you don’t HAVE to spend that much money on eyeglasses!

At 39DollarGlasses.com, they offer high quality prescription eyeglasses AND sunglasses! Owned and operated by 2 eye doctors, their goal was to provide people to be able to bypass expensive retail establishments and save money by ordering online! You’ll even be able to get all of those extras like anti-reflective coating.

The website is so simple to use! You’re able to search by metal glasses, bifocals, kids eyeglasses and more!

The biggest problem I had was trying to narrow it down to what I wanted. There were hundreds of different glasses to choose from and many of them you could pick from more than one color!

I had an idea in my mind that I wanted black frames since my current frames were brown. I also wanted plastic frames, for some reason I don’t like metal frames. From there, I was able to narrow down my selection to 59 results. Picking the shape of the frame (oval for me!) I was able to narrow it down to 9 results!

I decided to go with the Madison frames! These are originally $200 but 39 Dollar Glasses sells them for, you guessed it, $39!

Madison Glasses

 

Each set of eyeglasses includes tough scratch-resistant coatings, 100% UV protection, polished lens edges and a hard case!

Checking out was easy and I was able to input my prescription information and add any extras if I wanted.

They also FAST turn-around and can even do next-day delivery for a little extra in case you have an emergency! They also ship free to active service men and woman no matter where they are serving!

I was so excited for my glasses to arrive! They were shipped super fast and I put them on as soon as I could.

They were exactly what I imagined. The glasses are lightweight but sturdy (if that makes sense!) and super comfortable!

Here’s a better closeup of the frames.

If you’re wanting to order a pair of glasses from 39DollarGlasses.com for yourself, use the code SIPPY to save 10% off!

One lucky reader is going to win one pair of prescription eyeglasses or sunglasses (up to $75!).
