Glee Gum Gum Pops Review & GIVEAWAY

**I received the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other products or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**

Glee Gum just came out with another great new product.  My kids were really excited to be able to try this new treat.

Glee Gum Gum Pops

We always love to try new products from Glee Gum.  This new product was just as great as all the other products we have tried.  I love that glee gum uses natural ingredients.  These gum pops were awesome.  There are 3 great flavors in this package: sweet strawberry, crisp green apple, and juicy orange.  My favorite is the sweet strawberry just because I love strawberry flavored candies.  My children loved all the flavors included in this package.  The green apple flavor tastes like green apple but isn't too tart like many other green apple flavored candies.  The only thing I didn't like was that the pops themselves are a little hard to open.  I had to help my 8 year old open the pop using scissors just so she could eat it.  She didn't mind at all and loved the Gum Pop so it was just fine.   I loved the Gum Pops myself.  My son also loved them as well.  

I absolutely LOVE that Glee Gum uses natural ingredients in their products!!  The lollipops are not heavily colored because they are not overloaded with food coloring like other products.  These natural ingredients and more natural sweetener than other products makes me feel good about being able to give my children this treat.

Check out Glee Gum and see what other great products they have!!

I LOVE glee gum!!  They have so many great flavors to choose from in their line of gum. You can find them not only online but at specialty stores.

This is the Place Heritage Park Visit & GIVEAWAY

**I received tickets to visit the park in order to give an honest review.  No other compensation or products were received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.** 

This is the first opportunity I have ever had to be able to go to This is the Place Heritage Park.  We were so excited to have the opportunity to go as a family.  I always love to go sight seeing and find out a little more about history.  This is the Place Heritage Park is a great local Utah attraction.  It is located right across the street from the Hogle Zoo.  This is a great place for locals to go and take your family for a great day of fun, or anyone if you are paying a visit to Utah.

There are some great monuments to see at This is the Place Heritage Park.  Many of these monuments depicting the settlement of Utah, the settlement of the United States, the Pony Express, and many other great monuments.   These monuments were really neat to see.  I had never seen them before and it was fun to learn about more of the State of Utah, history about our country, and enjoy the beautiful workmanship of these great monuments. 

This is the Place Heritage Park is ready for fall and Halloween!!  They have great fall decorations throughout the park as well as upcoming events.  

The Witches Ball is one of the great upcoming events going on at the park for the Halloween Season. There is also the Haunted Village coming to the park.

I have heard great things about the Haunted Village at This is the Place Heritage Park.  We visited the park before these great events so we didn't have the chance to check them out.  Several of the employees talked about the Haunted Village and told us what a fun time of year it is at the Park.  It would definitely be something I would love to visit someday.  It sounded like tons of fun from what we were told about these events. 

So many events come and go throughout the year that there is almost always something fun going on to be able to participate in.  Earlier this year they had the baby animals at the park.  My kids would have loved to have gone to see that.  

Instead they had fun milking the fake cow.  It was fun to watch them try to do it especially since they have not seen how a cow is milked.  This was such a fun learning experience for my kids and they loved every second of it. 

One of their favorite parts of the visit to the park was the pony rides.  My children LOVE pony rides and there are not too many places we have found nearby that have pony rides.  They enjoyed it so much that my daughter wants to go back there again just to ride the ponies. 

There is also a really great play area where children can just play and use their imaginations.  My children loved the wooden train and miniature buildings depicting the town.

They had so much fun going door to door at the little buildings. Fun to watch them keep going in and out of the buildings and pretending to be the different types of workers that would be in those types of buildings.  The fire house was their favorite.  This area was so cute and fun for kids.  My children loved this area so much we had to do a little coaching to get them to move on.  It was so fun to watch them play.

It was a lot of fun to go through the houses at the park and teach my children about history and how different things were over 100 years ago than they are today.

This little gift shop inside the park is so much fun.  My children loved looking around at all the old fashioned type candy and toys.  I absolutely love the look of this little store. 

At the tannery we learned about leather and how it is made.  Then we learned how they made different types of leather items and how they made them decorative.  My children had the chance to stamp their own piece of leather.  They loved being able to do it themselves and seeing that they could create different designs.  The men in the leather shop were so entertaining.  One of my favorite parts about the tannery was how knowledgable the men were, and how happy and excited they were to teach the children & share what they knew.

Of course what kid doesn't like a train ride?? There were two types of trains at This is the Place Heritage Park and of course my children had to ride both of them.  This larger train was a train that took you around the park.  It was great to hear the conductor talk about the park as you passed different sections.  This helped us learn much more about the park than we would have learned if we had just been walking around the park on our own.

This smaller train went around a pond and it was more of a ride for the kids.  Of course they had to ride it and they loved it.

A great part of the park is the discovery area with this awesome ship and other things for children to discover and play on.  My children were no exception.  They loved this ship.  It was put together with such great craftsmanship. I was very impressed with so much I had seen around the park and how much detail things have depicting the correct time period. 

Besides the pony rides the other favorite for my children was panning for gold.  They had this little river for people to pan for gold.  My children tried to collect as much gold as they could in the time we allowed.  Then we took the gold to the bank to see how much the gold would have been worth in the time period when panning for gold was most popular in the west. They had so much fun doing this that they keep talking about it and asking when they can go back and pan for more gold.  Of course it was just pyrite but they enjoy it just the same.

If you haven't been to This is the Place Heritage Park I highly recommend going for a family outing if you are a local, or if you are from out of town I recommend you check it out if you ever pay a visit to Utah.

You can enjoy $2 off per person on your regular admission to the park just for being one of my readers!!

Purex PowerShot Detergent Review & GIVEAWAY

**I received the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other product or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**

Purex has outdone themselves again coming out with yet another wonderful product!!

New Purex PowerShot detergent simplifies the laundry routine by taking the guesswork out of the measuring.  Purex PowerShot is the only bottle that automatically dispenses the right amount of super concentrated formula with 50% more stain fighting power in every drop* (*VS regular Purex liquid detergent)

Easy to Use

Just open the cap, fill the bottle upside down to deliver one super concentrated dose of detergent.  Flip the bottle back upright, and you are done!  The PowerShot engine automatically refills and is ready for the next dose.

Just the Right Amount

The built-in auto-dosing technology in the bottle does the measuring for you, so there's no waste and results in a perfect clean every time!

• Use 1 flip for regular loads
• Use 2 flips for large or extra dirty loads 

 My kids love to help me with laundry and we have made it one of their chores around the house to help with the laundry.  They will usually sort the laundry and then one of them will usually put a load in the washer but then I have to come measure the soap into the cup then start it.  My son always wants to do it by himself but I always hesitate letting him because I don't want him to use too much detergent.  I love Purex PowerShot detergent!!  I can now let my son start the laundry all by himself and I don't have to worry about him using too much detergent.  It smells wonderful just like the other products I have used by Purex.  I love that this detergent is so concentrated.  Before this detergent I would sometimes wash a load twice if it just doesn't smell or look clean.  In our home we sometimes have had to wash a load of laundry twice because of sweaty gym clothes and kids that love playing outdoors.  This detergent will get my laundry looking and smelling clean with just one wash AND LITTLE DETERGENT!!! 

To celebrate the release of the NEW Purex® PowerShot™ detergent, Purex will be hosting an amazing giveaway!

Click here to Enter the sweepstakes & get a $1 off coupon.

DrainWig Review, Promo Code, & GIVEAWAY

**I received the featured product free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other product or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**

 If you ever head to clean out your clogged shower drain you know, how gross and disgusting that glob of wet hair can be.  The solution is finally here! Introducing DrainWig! There's no more need for harmful chemicals that will ruin your pipes or dredging your drain by hand.  DrainWig is an easy solution for a nasty problem.  Tub, sink, or shower, DrainWig is the perfect  solution for keeping drains unclogged.  

Of course they have the cute bathroom decor look to them.  They can go with so much bathroom decor and I like that they are white so they are close to the color of the tub and don't stand out way too much.

I don't know a single person that doesn't get clogged drains.  We have a lot of problems with clogged drains at our home.  My daughter has long curly hair and it always fills the drains right up.  Of course the short hair can still clog the drain as well.  I was happy to have the chance to review this new product.

With such a simple design this product is very easy to use.  Even though it is very easy to use it comes with very clear instructions.  The DrainWig is VERY easy to install.  Our way of usually cleaning the drain has been to take the bathtub stopper off and then pull all the hair out with a really long pair of needle nose pliers.  I love the idea of having something right there to help get it out and not having to have to go find another tool just to clean the drain.   I haven't had this in the drain quite long enough to be completely covered in hair but I can defiantly see this product starting to catch the hair in the drain.  I think this product has some great potential to save me some time from having to unclog my drains all the time.  If you have drain problems like I do then I highly recommend you check out the DrainWig for yourself and save yourself some time and money.

Shower Curtain Rings Review + Giveaway

**I received the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other product or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**

Shower Curtain Rings

The shower curtain rings comes in a pack of 12 beautiful rings to enhance your stylish modern bathroom décor for many years to come. It is made of polished brass & stainless steel and will not rust.

It is perfectly designed clamp to fit securely and rolls easily on 3/4" to 1-1/8" diameter shower rods (curved, straight or custom type) to prevent the shower curtain from falling off.

The installation is very simple and easy, save time & value for money. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and able to withstand any bathroom environment conditions.

I have a hard time finding shower curtain rings that I like that are also neutral to go with any kind of decor I have.  These shower curtain rings were the perfect fit for my home and I was so pleased to have the opportunity to review this product.

My Review

These shower curtain rings are so simple but yet exactly what I needed for my home.  I always find shower curtain rings that are really "pretty" but not very functional.  Many of the kinds that are just a C shape are so hard to keep both on the rod and keep your curtain on the hook.  I love these shower curtain rings because they close all the way.  I also really like that they have little roller balls built in so they slide across the rod very easily.  I had some similar to these in the past but the rollers were a different shape and they just didn't roll across the rod so well.  These shower curtain rings are my new favorites out of all the ones I have tried over the last 13 years.  If you need something simple, functional, and to match with almost anything I suggest you try these amazing shower curtain rings!!

Fairhaven Health FertilAid Fertility Supplements Review & GIVEAWAY

**I received the products featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other product or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.  Also I am in no way giving any medical advice.  For medical advice or recommendations please seek your doctor.**

 This is something near and dear to my heart and I have not yet spoken of this publicly.  So here it goes........

 I currently have 2 children.  My son is 10 and my daughter is 7.  When my daughter was born with a congenital heart defect and we knew we would face more surgeries and things to come with her so at the time we didn't think we wanted any more children.  Fast forward to when she was about 4 years old, we decided we wanted to start trying to have a 3rd child.  Our family just doesn't feel complete yet.  We have suffered from infertility for the last 3 years.  It has been hard for me to understand why this has happened to us because I knew we were already able to conceive 2 children before.  I have struggled with this a lot emotionally.  Most people don't like to talk about how they "feel" about their infertility.  I feel VERY frustrated most of the time and sometimes it is really hard to see everyone around me being able to have babies and things working out so easily for them.  It is really hard to go into the doctors office and see all the pregnant woman knowing how hard we have been trying.  I have come to terms with many of the feelings that come along with infertility but that doesn't mean that it isn't still hard to go through.  I won't share too much of that here since I am reviewing these products but hope to share more with you in a later post.

  We ended up seeking a specialist in infertility.  This doctor recommended that we try the FertilAid Supplements from Fairhaven Health.  We have already gone through much testing and so we at this point are willing to try almost anything.  We were so excited to try these products to see how well they helped.

These were the FertilAid products for Men that we have tried:

Formulated by Amos Grunebaum, MD, the ingredients in patented FertilAid for Men* have been scientifically demonstrated to enhance male fertility and improve overall reproductive wellness as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Ideal for men with a low sperm count or for those looking to optimize their sexual health. 

With much testing we had found out just about a year ago that my husband had very very low sperm count with almost no motility.  We don't know if this was the case years before when we were trying to conceive our other two children, but as he is much older now it has effected him in this way now. (It took us more than a year to conceive each time before) When the doctor recommended us to start taking the FertilAid products he recommended them mostly for my husband but then told me I could probably get great results from them as well.   I don't feel like the FertilAid for Men alone was enough but combined with the other products I feel like it gives them just what they need to improve the count and motility.

CountBoost for Men is a non-prescription dietary supplement designed specifically for men who have been diagnosed with a low sperm count - the leading cause of male infertility. CountBoost is not a standalone product, but rather it is designed to be taken along with FertilAid for Men. 

CountBoost is designed specifically for men who have been determined to have a low sperm count. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a "low sperm count" is defined as a count of less than 20 million sperm per milliliter of ejaculate. 

 MotilityBoost for Men is a non-prescription dietary supplement designed specifically for men who have been diagnosed with a low sperm motility, which along with low sperm count represents a leading cause of male infertility. MotilityBoost is not a standalone product, but rather it is designed to be taken along with FertilAid for Men

MotilityBoost is designed specifically for men who have been determined to have low sperm motility, typically by way of a semen analysis (SA) conducted by a physician.  

After taking the supplements for about 6 months my husband was retested.  When we got the results of the test we were very surprised.  He went from having very very low count with almost no motility to being just at the low end of the chart and there was much more motility.  This was exciting news for us because it meant that things were a lot more possible than we had originally thought.  If he had not taken these supplements I don't think things would have improved so drastically.  Although the results were better he is still in the low category but that is much better than what his results were the first time around.  Seeing these results keeps us very optimistic.

Here are the Women's supplements that I tried:

 

With an all-natural, non-prescription, patented formula that brings together scientifically-validated herbal ingredients and essential vitamins, FertilAid promotes female hormonal balance and reproductive wellness, supporting fertility and optimizing your chances to conceive. FertilAid is your fertility enhancing supplement and your complete prenatal vitamin - all rolled into one. 

 

OvaBoost was designed specifically for trying-to-conceive women who are over the age of 30, and for women who have PCOS. However, OvaBoost is also intended to optimize egg quality and ovarian function in trying to conceive women of all ages.

The formulation for OvaBoost was developed on the basis of a large, and ever-growing, body of scientific literature that explains the underlying causes of poor egg quality and ovarian dysfunction, and points to effective and promising natural ingredients for improving egg quality and ovarian function.



FertileCM for Women is a balanced dietary supplement to promote the healthy production of fertile cervical mucus – the bodily fluid central to fertility and conception. The ingredients in FertileCM have also been shown to support female arousal and sexual sensitivity and strengthen the uterine lining, both of which can increase chances for successful conception.

My body doesn't ovulate every month like it should.  I have been taking Clomid for at least 8 months now just to get my body to ovulate.  I noticed a huge difference in the timing that my body ovulated being on the FertilAid supplements rather than not taking them even with having the Clomid.  The one thing that I really love is that these supplements don't have the side effects that Clomid has.  It is miserable sometimes to deal with the side effects of prescription drugs just to get pregnant.  Being able to take something that doesn't add any new side effects is great.  I also really noticed that from taking FertileCM my cervical mucus was of much better quality.  I recently talked to my doctor about taking these supplements and he said he would recommend anyone trying to conceive to take FertileCM especially if you are on any medications like Clomid.  My doctor told me that day that Clomid can actually dry your cervical mucus making it actually harder to get pregnant rather than helping.  This is another reason I don't want to be on the medication long term.  I would much rather take the supplements and be able to cut out the prescriptions.  I also felt like I am not as "moody" when I take the FertilAid supplements.  I felt like for me personally it regulated my hormones a little better and made my whole body actually feel better and more energetic.  I probably get a lot more nutrients from the supplements than just my regular diet and that sure helped with the overall feel of my health.  I am so happy with the results I received from Fairhaven products and I plan on the continue use of them.
 

As of now we still haven't had any luck conceiving but our chances are much better with FertilAid in our life.  I hope to soon have good luck and be able to conceive. (Fingers crossed!)  I know miracles are possible so I am not giving up.

If you or anyone you know has infertility issues I HIGHLY recommend you check out Fairhaven Health and the supplements and products they offer!!!
