Congratulations to the winner of the Bob Evans Giveaway!
Windex All In One Giveaway!
Do you suffer from WWAS or Window Washing Avoidance Syndrome? WWAS is the perpetual postponement of cleaning your outdoor windows. According to a recent study 80% of homeowners admit they have avoided cleaning their outdoor windows, and I know I fall right into that category. In fact, we have never cleaned them in the 6 years that we have been here! When it comes to window cleaning , it is probably last on the list.
We have a ton of windows on the back of our house, and well I just can’t reach them but they are in serious need! If you have WWAS, I have a terrific giveaway just for you! With Windex All In One, all you have to do with it is spray the window and the cleaning pad with the garden hose, use the handy long reach pole with the All-in-One cleaning pad, then rinse off the window with the hose. And the best part is you don’t have to dry it. You can watch a demo here .
If this is as easy as it says then I will be giddy with excitement to get out and clean the windows. Anything that will make my life easier and motivate me to get out and do the things you often overlook, then that is a huge plus!
Would you like to give Windex All-In-One a try? Doublebugs will be giving away three All-In-One Cleaning kits.

Macaroni Grill Meals Made Easy Review and Giveaway
May 17, 2009 by Laurie
Filed under Contests, Food & Recipes, Product Reviews
We are huge fans of pasta and Italian dishes of any kind in our house. I love to cook in general and I love trying new things. We were recently given the opportunity to try Romano’s Macaroni Grill Favorites, courtesy of My Blog Spark. Not only was I excited to try these new meals, but I am a huge fan of Macaroni Grill Restaurant, so if it tasted anything like what I bought at the restaurant then I am a happy camper.
I must admit I have never been a huge fan of meals in a box but I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised! We tried the Creamy Basil Dinner, and all you have to do is add chicken and a little milk. The meal was extremely easy to prepare and took about 20-25 minutes to make.
The boys completely finished their plates and were saying “mommy more pastas please.” So, for them this was a big hit. Toddlers can be some of the pickiest eaters around, and I think they tend to get bored with the same things, so this adds a little variety and they loved it. The only thing is that I would have to prepare two boxes to feed out family of four, but other than that it was delicious.
The dinner kits include everything needed to create a high-quality meal in one box including premium ingredients such as such as vine-ripened tomatoes, select cooking wines, specialty herbs and 100% semolina pasta. All you have to do is add one pound of chicken or your choice of proteins such as shrimp or Italian sausage. Varieties of Romano’s Macaroni Grill Restaurant Favorites dinner kits include Garlic & Herb Chicken Penne, Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta, Chicken Alfredo with Linguine and Chicken Marsala with Linguine.
I have only tried the Creamy Basil so far and I am very eager to try the others, because if they are anything like the first, then I will have 3 more easy meals to prepare. It helps to take the guess work out of what’s for dinner and makes it easy when you have had a really long day, or you just want something that is quick.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!

Evenflo Comfort Select Performance Breast Pump Review And Giveaway
April 20, 2009 by Laurie
Filed under Blog Tours, Contests, Mom Central, Product Reviews
After having the boys, I was so overwhelmed to say the least. After 16 weeks of bedrest and 8 of those weeks in the hospital, and the fact that I was a first time mother and pregnant with twins, was a pretty big deal. As a new mother you have so many questions about how to do things and what you should be doing, but I had always known that I wanted to breastfeed the boys. I had not realized the importance of breastfeeding until they were born 6 weeks early and spent close to three weeks in the NICU.
For preemies, providing them with breast milk as soon as possible was something my nurses encouraged because they say that the milk you produce then is different and would provide my babies with a lot of things they needed. I can remember the first few days at home, and crying because I wanted to give up pumping, but my two tiny little men in the NICU, made me keep on going. I would pump all through the night and visit them sometimes 2-3 times a day and bring them all my pumped breast milk.
I never quite got the hang of breastfeeding them together, and one of my little guys has a tongue tie that prevented him from feeding properly so I would pump for him and for both of them when I needed a break. Pumps can be a lifesaver, and are great when you need the break or if you have two babies and one doesn’t do well at the breast, you can still give them pumped milk in a bottle.
I was excited to review Evenflo Comfort Select Performance Breast Pump because since I am a breastfeeding mother, I like to see what is out there on the market currently and for in the future when we decide to have another child. The pump itself is very easy to use, and easy to hold, and comfortable and this is important. It is not overly noisy which was a pet peeve of mine with one of the pumps that I own. At three in the morning the last thing I want to be hearing is a loud squeaking noise, and especially with sleeping babies nearby. I had no trouble using this and all parts are easy to clean and better yet BPA free.

Kolobags Giveaway
April 9, 2009 by Laurie
Filed under Contests, Product Reviews
Since getting my laptop back in November, I have been on the search for something to put it in. Most of the laptop bags that I run across are very generic and let’s face it made for the male population. Let’s face it a girl doesn’t want army green, charcoal grey, or black as her only choices for carrying her prized possession.
I recently ran across Kolobags and discovered some pretty fabulous looking finds! They have a wide selection of laptop messenger bags and even laptop backpacks. I was in awe of how big their selection was and I can even search bags by color, which we all know that color would be blue. My personal favorite has to be the Clark and Mayfield quimby quilted laptop case.
They also have some pretty cute every day around town bags like the Room It Up navy stripe laptop messenger bag which is bright and cheery and perfect for spring!
Room It Up Features
· polyester
· matching pull out laptop sleeve and accessory case
· exterior dimensions: 15.75″ x 4.75″ x 14″
· fits most pcs and macs with 15.4″ screens (laptops up to 14.25″ x 2″ x 11.5″)
· recommended as a laptop messenger bag for women
Kolobags definitely has one of the bigger selection of laptop bags and I would encourage you to check out their site and sign up for their newsletter. They offer free shipping and returns on all orders over $50!
Would You Like To Win A Room It Up Bag of you very own?
