Unless of course you need them to coordinate with your grill.How about the Sea Sponge Tampon? Comes in sizes 'teenie', 'regular' and 'large'. Also for prolapse. I'm all for natural, green alternatives but this is going a bit too far. What? It comes with its own carrying case. Don't we women all love little purses? … [Read more...]
Don’t Forget Your Personal Terrain!
File this lovely device under "Products I won't be reviewing'- The Peek-a-Bu Pube Mirror because every "girl" wants to 'command her personal terrain'. Now I am all for being well-groomed at all times of the year "down there". And if your man needs some help with his back hair and manscaping then maybe the Peek-a Bu mirror is for you. But they lost me in the pitch with all their talk about personal terrain, checking my secretions and the descriptions used for some of the 'hot, summer styles' I could craft and style my nether regions into.The Ocean Wave~ Feminity & Artistry ~ "Reveal your free-flowing, creative style and throw your partner for a smashing surprise...." Yeah, because I have this kind of time. If I did I wouldn't spend it waxing my pubic hair … [Read more...]
My Take on Review Blogging- Good or Bad
Most of you know that I also write a review blog, Mummy's Product Reviews. Initially, I didn't set out to write product reviews. It all started right here back in 2006 when as a weekly feature I did 'The Product of the Week'. People were always asking me about places to go, brands, beauty items, I could go on. As a self-admitted "product whore" and advice columnist wannabe, it seemed a likely fit. 'The Product of the Week' was simply my take on a product I tried, loved and wanted to share. That's all. Nothing was sent to me, no one pitched me. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Just items from my house. Review bloggers didn't hold much world wide web space if any back then. Over time things have obviously evolved. An Arbonne consultant sent me a slew of stuff and I joined the Parent Bloggers … [Read more...]
Product Reviewer Welcomes You to Her World
7 a.m.- What the heck is that bizarre hellish chirruping noise? Almost like a chirping bird, almost like a mechanical cat tied in a sack being sent up river. I slam the array of buttons on the Alarm 3000 that I'm testing out this week hoping it shuts the damn thing up. Wait! Where the heck am I? I don't recognize the duvet cover I'm sleeping under. Oh right, I put a new one on last night from that store that only makes things out of bamboo and hemp. The indigo blue color is dyed by real ancient Phoenicians!7:05 a.m.- In the bathroom jackhammering my teeth with the latest Sonic toothbrush and wishing I had some Novocaine or maybe anti-nausea medicine. This toothbrush might seek to eradicate gingivitis but it is also systematically wiping my gums clean out of my mouth! Only the … [Read more...]
Products I won’t be reviewing
I review a lot of products and many more come into my house that I never even wanted to know existed much less ever review. Here are some that will not be making the final cut on Mummy's Product Reviews.1. Monogrammed Toilet Paper- The ultimate in personalization I suppose. I especially love the gold monogramming because just having cushy double-ply Charmin is obviously not enough for some people. To me this is the be all and end all in tackiness.2. Hufu- What the heck is hufu? Why it is tofu that has the texture of human flesh. Just in case you want to be a cannibal and um.. just can't go through with the procuring of the actual meat. Blech doesn't even cover it. Is it just me or does Hufu closely resemble a Hot Pocket?3. Batter Blaster- The aerosol spray pancake batter. It's fast … [Read more...]
Get Loud, Get Vocal!
I love products! I write product reviews for a living after all. I simply adore trying new items. From crackers to soap my house can be jam packed! Though I haven't actually tried jam. I give an honest review too. Yes, really. If sometimes it seems that there is just too much that I love it is because quite frankly there is a TON of great stuff out there. Now there is one more. Get out your favorites list and add this to it. You are really going to want to. Vocal Point.What is Vocal Point you ask? I know you are all pins and needles. Simply put, Vocal Point is the 411.

Even better, companies (well-known ones at that!) will look to you for … [Read more...]
Toys made in China..grumble…
Yesterday, I went on a quick run ($100 dollars later) to Toys R Us with my mother. We picked up a few "essentials" for T.D. and friends. One plastic table, four chairs, an entire dinner set, and a bike later we strode into the house only to be asked by my father,"Were those toys made in China?" Sigh...How sick am I of thinking of this stuff? Very. I am relieved that we live in a newish house that has no lead paint. I "trust" that my local water company isn't lying to me about what is really in our water. I try my damnedest to keep our house free of toxic cleaners, preservatives, and all manner of bad things. Is it too much to ask that I not have to be so vigilant about toys? Toys are supposed to be fun, not arbiters of death or illness. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks in … [Read more...]

For the Ladies
I think maybe I should get some of these because no matter how hard I am sweating at the gym I still feel like all the women are looking at me like, "Can't you control those things lady?!" Then thinking, "Well, hers must be fake." Ha! If only. Then maybe I wouldn't have to work out so much to keep them perky. … [Read more...]
Product of the Week!
This week's product is a book. A book I can safely say kept us sane in the last few weeks. I don't normally do this type of thing either. I don't like reading childcare books. I find that I'm usually already doing what they say and I have a few "Duh!" moments and throw the book to the wayside or I just don't agree with their methods. The book, 'Good Night, Sleep Tight: The Sleep Lady's Guide to Helping Your Child Go to Sleep, Stay Asleep and Wake Up Happy' (Sheesh!) actually did do all those things. I bought the book out of desperation and had a friend suggested it. Her child wasn't sleeping through the night. She read the book. The kid sleeps like magic. We were on month three of that after an almost entirely blissful year of angel baby sleep through the night nights. We removed … [Read more...]
