EvoraPlus Review and Giveaway


EvoraPlus, the minty all-natural probiotic for oral care, has improved!!! I had reviewed this product before and it was good then, now it's even better!

EvoraPlus is mintier and It’s easier to use! With a new, stronger formula, now EvoraPlus only needs to be taken once a day, rather than twice a day. And now even the packaging is more environmentally friendly!

Within 30 days of using EvoraPlus daily, the natural healthy oral balance of good bacteria will be greatly restored and you will begin to notice a whiter, brighter smile and long-lasting fresh breath, like I did!

EvoraPlus probiotic mints are:
•Safe and effective for ALL ages

DaGeDar Review Party


I had the chance to be the coolest Mom in my town this Summer by hosting an In-Home Party sponsored by DaGeDar, the game of speed and skill!

DaGeDar is one of the hottest new toys to roll out this year from Cepia, the makers of ZhuZhu Pets.



From the moment you pick up a DaGeDar ball, you know it's something different. Drop the ball down the track and swoosh - you are hooked. This simple game of speed and skill is like no other. Innovative, thrilling, and addicting, all you want is more DaGeDar!


Each DaGeDar is made from a weighted ball bearing, and has a character face and code. These steel core, super charged ball bearings are pretty fun to play with. Each set comes with 2 ball bearings, some are goblins, aliens, pirates and more, each alittle different making them fun to collect. My son and nephews had a blast! They set up the High Speed Stunt Jump Track and let their balls go racing. The had fun positioning and guessing how how far each ball would go and made their own little game out of it.

That's what is great about this, it's a game where “House Rules” rule. Players determine how to play and ultimately how to win. Each player will want to control the speed and velocity in order to perfectly propel the ball through the track set’s loops without falling out. Each player can create their own stunts and tricks.


Since they had so much fun playing with DaGeDar balls and tracks they want to collect more balls and they want the Two Lane Battle Jump RaceWay. Check out this picture and you will see why.

Oh Yeah!!! All the Possibilities and hours of fun!!! The options of game-play are endless and up to each players own imagination and creativity. Get your game on!!!

*Disclosure: Thank you to MomSelect and DaGeDar for providing us with all the goodies for our In-Home Party. My son and nephews really enjoyed these hot new toys and will have playing and sharing them with their friends. *

Back to the Roots Mushroom Kit ~Review & Giveaway~


I love mushrooms!! I usually buy them in the supermarket but this time I grew them right at home. It was pretty simple with the Grow your own mushroom kit from Back to the Roots . These kits lets you grow up to 1 1/2 pounds of oyster mushrooms as in little as 10 days right from the box. All you need to do is soak the bag for 24 hours, then use the little spray bottle included and mist twice a day. Just set the box in your window sill and watch them grow. It says you can grow multiple crops, and we are in the process of growing our mushrooms for the second time, I'm sure we will have mushrooms again soon. The soil provided in the kit is safe and sustainable made from 100% recycled coffee grounds.
If for some reason, you have a questions or concerns about growing your mushrooms, there is a video that shows you step by step, but it is really simple and great for kids to do themselves.

You can buy your own Grow at home mushroom kit for $19.95 and they are offering a new program right now.
