Several weeks ago, I received the NaturaProtect Deluxe MattressProtector and the Washable Wool Comforter to test and review. Since the items were in a twin bed size, my 10-year-old son had the pleasure of testing them out himself! This was quite a treat for him because we usually buy him the “bed in a bag” bedding, which isn’t made from the softest of materials. Sorry, son. A little information about each item: NaturaProtect Deluxe Mattress Protector The mattress protector is a waterproof barrier between your…

::GIVEAWAY CLOSED:: Congrats to HilLesha! My 10 year-old snatched up the iFrogz EarPollution CS40 Headphones as soon as we received them in the mail. He had been looking for a good pair of headphones since we purchased our iPad a few weeks ago. He immediately plugged the headphones into the iPad, then started playing his games and listening to music. I was surprised by how none of the sound leaked through-I couldn’t hear it at all on my end, which is a good thing! When…

Today’s Blogging 101 is on REVIEWS & GIVEAWAYS. LET’S GO WAY BACK. When I first created Mom Spark, I was baffled at the giveaways I saw on other mom sites. They were giving away expensive electronics, clothing, and other high ticket items. How were they doing this and how could I get in on that? I didn’t have a clue. In my own naivety and inexperience, I reached out to a fellow blogger who was giving away a Flip Camera and asked her for her…

::GIVEAWAY CLOSED:: Congrats to Sharon Seneker! I have always had problems with my ears. I suffered from ear infections and painful earaches from infancy to my teens. I still get uncomfortable earaches when I fly and chewing gum just doesn’t do the trick. I am also not a big medicine user, so I like finding simple solutions in lieu of pills. I was intrigued when Eardoc approached me about a new product for ear pain that requires no medication whatsoever. The Eardoc is a device…

If you can remember way, way back when I first started Mom Spark last year, you will remember me bragging about my Baby Einstein DVD collection. Can you believe that my son, who is almost two now, still loves Baby Einstein™ movies? There is something about the simplicity of the video and complexity of the music that makes Baby Einstein™ DVDs ‘da bomb. When Mom Central put out the call to review the new Baby Einstein™ World Animal Adventure DVD, I was probably one of…
