My wife loves Thirty One, so when we saw that they had Halloween items, she jumped in.  She said the treat bags are perfect, for Jacob’s First Grade Class’s Party.  She also loves the bigger bag, that can be used when 6 year old, Jacob, goes Trick or Treating. The Cinch Sac is perfect for Trick Or Treating.  You can carry it from house to house.  It’s not so small that nothing fits in, or so big that 3 neighborhoods later, you are thinking, “why isn’t this bag full”.  It’s great for the night out, in our neighborhood.  I love it, and can’t wait for Jacob to use the Glow in the dark bag.  Available in Glow in the dark Lil Bones, or the Playful Pumpkin bag. Key features: Polyester Drawstring Closure Exterior Zipper Pocket Screen Printed designs Lil’ Bones screen print glows in the dark Glow-in-the-dark thread available as personalization option Monogramming and personalization options available, one line maximum Approx. 18.5”H x 14.5”L The Littles Carry All Caddy are perfect as well.  I plan on getting enough of these to work for my son’s classroom.  I always go all out for holidays, and Halloween is the first big one.  With the…

We love Babytime! products.  Especially their Baby Safe Sun & Bug Collection.  This is a great selection.  We are safe from the sun, and from the bugs.  The formulas are both great. I’m one that gets mosquito bites, that turn to bruises before healing.  So this Bug Shield is great for even me.  I love it, and haven’t had a mosquito bite, since I started using Babytime! Bug Shield. Our family is going to the Beach, one last time, before summer officially ends, and this collection is great for taking to such a place.  Even if it’s cloudy, sunburn still occurs.  So the Sun Shield, which is SPF 35, is great for the entire family.  Especially those of us that burn. The Sunny Sunscreen is water resistant, for up to 80 minutes.  This is fantastic for relaxing, in the water, at the beach.  We don’t have to worry about being burnt, even while in the water. The Might Shield is enriched with Probiotics, so this is perfect as well. Two great products, in one kit.  I can’t believe how much of a lucky find this truly is. You aren’t left feeling greasy after applying one, or both, products.  Your skin…

We love Biz, in our family.  Biz is our go to product, when we have deep, built in stains. For instance, the other day, my 6 year old, son, fell outside, in the grass, with a brand new pair of school jeans on.  So, I didn’t think about it, when he took them off, but the next day, I remembered.  I took them down, to our laundry room, and put Biz on them.  I even took a brush, and made sure I got down to the deepness of the stain.  And, low and behold, the stain came out.  It was a great day in the Means household, because that stain actually came out.  I knew it would, with Biz. My mom taught me, from the time I started washing clothes, to make sure to use Biz.  It’s not only a color booster, but a stain remover.  She’s used it for a long time, and now, I have too.  Someone told my mom that Biz gets mildew out of clothes, and it works.  The smell, and stains are gone in just one wash. Biz now has a Booster, and a Pen, along with Powder & a Liquid.  The liquid Biz is…

I love the BBQ Grill Light from Cave Tools.  Now that Fall is approaching us, this is the perfect time to have this light.  I can still BBQ, outside, in the evening, and be able to see.  My dad also loves this new tool.  He said he will be ordering one, soon.  He said, “this will make it great to BBQ during the winter months, on my blocked in patio.” I’m able to see, with ease.  And, knowing if the food is cooked properly.  This is very important.  The food has to be done the first time, especially when you have a houseful of family, and friends, eating over.  We love to do dinner parties, so this makes it so much easier. The BBQ Grill Light has taken a difficult task, and made it amazingly simple.  If you have an Amazon account, and would like to order, use the link at the beginning of this paragraph.  The price is a great on as well.  You won’t find a better BBQ Grill Light, if you can find another one, anywhere.  I also love that it is “Built to last.” Features include: Illuminate Your Entire Grill – 3 Brightness settings provide over…

I love the new CUJO Smart Firewall.  It’s fantastic in so many ways.  I love that I can protect every item, in my home, connected to my router, with CUJO.  This is the most fascinating to me.  My Television is protected, simply by having it hooked to the router.  It’s that easy. Another great feature, is that I can control what my 6 year old does online.  He has an iPad, and he loves being online, now I can control how long he is allowed online.  This is great, since school just came back in.  With me controlling his online time, he is more likely to study more often. Parental controls features:   parental controls for all devices   internet filter   time limits   social media monitoring  pause internet  alerts and reporting remote administration user profiles and settings You can connect CUJO to your router, and control CUJO with the App.  It’s so simple to hook up, it took me about 1o minutes. The features in CUJO are amazing, and you will get so much out of CUJO.  The firewall protects malicious activity from your computer, including hacks.  You really need to go get CUJO, he’s even on sale right now….

The new Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Shatter Your Senses! Book is spectacular.  So many great stories in it, and all true.  I love reading the Ripley’s books.  They always tell me so much stuff I didn’t know.  For example:  SEE the world’s most expensive dress ever sold at auction, worn by starlet Marilyn Monroe and covered in over 6,000 rhinestones! Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has always been so entertaining to me.  And, my wife just loves it, as well.  Now, my 20 year old, daughter, is into it.   And, we are getting our 6 year old, son, to look through it as well.  He’s starting to read, but he really enjoys the pictures, for now. The new Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is on sale now, and there’s a first look at all kinds of things, including: TASTE the freaky foods featured—from starfish skewers on the streets of Beijing to Australia’s witchetty grub! FEEL the heat as you read about Taiwan’s traditional fire fishing! SMELL the fresh air—which is sold to tourists in Guangdong Province, China, by the bag! HEAR the crowds roar as performers like AcroBritt, Short E. Dangerously, Captain and Maybelle, and Hammer Head take the stage in…

I love my Protect-A-Bed Zefiro Memory Foam Pillow.  I have Stenosis in my neck, and the Zefiro pillow really helps the neck pain.  I used to wake up multiple times a night, with severe pain.  Now, I don’t wake up with any pain.  I love it!  It’s a miracle come true.

I’ve had a slow leak, in my truck tire, for about a month.  I received this Slime Kit about 2 weeks ago.  When I filled my tire, it made that barrier where my tire is still fixed.  I can’t believe I didn’t know about this product a month ago.  I would’ve gotten it sooner.  I love Slime, and have always bought their products at our local parts store.  Now, I have a newfound love for Slime.  This kit is super.  I would recommend it to anyone who has had a leak in their tires. The Tire Repair Kit is easy to use, and it took only moments to get finished. Features include: Includes 15.2oz.
