KRE-O CityVille Invasion Marina Madness Review

I've been a BzzAgent for like forever. If you're not familiar with them, they are a word-of-mouth marketing company. You sign up for a campaign, they send you the product, and then you tell the world about it. Their latest campaign I signed up for is for the Marina Madness set from the KRE-O CityVille Invasion collection.

If you aren't familiar with KRE-O, they're in the same market as LEGO, but KRE-O offers sonic motion technology. In other words, the bricks move. We're not talking LEGO Mindstorms here. There is a battery-operated controller brick if you want to call it that. When on, the base brick emits sound waves, causing movement from the bricks that aren't connected / bolted down. Cool technology, but can be a little loud.

Three Aspects to Consider When Searching for Web Hosting

Hard Drive Bays by Petr Kratochvil

This week's guest post comes for those looking for cloud hosting options.

The more that smart phones enter the hands of every individual, the more important it is for your business, regardless of its size, to have a presence on the Internet. Without it, current and potential customers will go elsewhere. While this is true, it doesn’t mean that every small business needs to purchase their own server and hire an IT person to manage it. Many companies offer a wide variety of web hosting services. For example, you can get Sparknode cloud VPS server hosting if that meets your requirements.

But what do you need in a hosting company? Before you can answer that question, you need to decide what you need in a website. Following are three questions that can start you thinking about your website needs:

• What type of website do you need to run for your business? 
• What security aspects are important for your website? 
• How much control do you want to have over your website?

Yes, the giveaway ends Friday the 13th at 11:59pm. Good luck and please share if you know of more local sites whose readers might be interested.

Starting yesterday (September 10th), Thomas & Friends: Animals Aboard! is available on DVD, only at Target. If you wait until October 8th, it will also be available for digital download and video on demand, from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. It’s full steam ahead for Thomas, Percy, Henry and the engines as they learn lessons about being kind to animals, doing good deeds and helping friends of all shapes and sizes!

5 Secrets to Smartphone Savings

With all the hype around Apple's iPhone announcements, we have a guest post today from Andrea Woroch. She has some great tips before you plunk down some big bucks. She helps consumers live on less without radically changing their lifestyles. Her full bio is at article end. You can follow her on Twitter or Facebook for daily savings tips & shopping strategies.

Apple geeks everywhere rejoice; your Christmas morning is coming Sept. 20 when shipments of the new iPhone 5S and 5C models are expected to hit stores. If waiting even ten days seems like torture, you can get giddy online with the unveiling of Apple's fresh designs released today at their California headquarters.

As with any new technology, getting your iPhone upgrade on day one will come with a considerable price tag. Even the widely speculated "cheap iPhone" 5C model may surprisingly cost you more than you bargained for. If you're in need of a new smartphone, here are a few suggestions to help reduce the cost.

1. Talk to Your Provider
Wireless providers have as much incentive as anyone to see sales records from the new iPhone launch. To entice their customers, they'll offer up promotions like zero down or extra rebates so you buy right now. Before you pay any price for the latest iPhone, have a chat with your provider and see what extras they're offering.

Disney Pins Giveaway

Apart from the costume horns, it has been some time since I found something on the more unique side in a group giveaway. Here is one of those giveaways where the prize is a set of 9 Disney pins from the 2013 Hidden Mickey Collection. April over at Pixie Dust Savings is hosting the giveaway. Below is her review of the company Disney Pins $1.15 and up.

Disney pin trading is a very fun hobby to have. April learned about pin trading a couple years ago and has been hooked ever since. It is super fun and great for all ages! Pin trading doesn’t have to happen just in the parks though, there are a lot of groups on Facebook and other places online where people trade pins. Thousands of pins exist and finding the ones you love is part of the thrill of the chase. Since Disney is a vast enterprise, so are the pins. Pins are available for every type of person, character, movie, and time period. April personally loves to collect princess pins, Tinkerbell pins, and Star Wars. Her husband tends to collect Star Wars, villains, and fun ones like the Florida Sunbird ones. During each event or holiday a new pin or pins is released.

Chevrolet Traverse Challenge/Contest

When I first saw the Chevy Traverse, I thought minivan, but it is considered a crossover. Looking to get out of that minivan or want something more economical than an SUV? The folks over at Armour Meats have a CONTEST where you can win one. Yes, contest. You have to guess how many of their BreakfastMakers fit in the vehicle. The entry period runs through the end of October and you get only one entry so make your guess good. Lower 48 states only (and DC).

Britax Pioneer 70 Car Seat Giveaway

We're beyond car seat days ourselves, though still use a booster. Here's to hoping my readers can use one as they aren't cheap and they are certainly necessary. The giveaway runs until 9/30. Good luck. We're big fans of Britax. The biggest thing I learned about car seats is they basically have an expiration date and you can't really pass them from kid to kid. Safety standards change over time, things wear out, and you really should have/get the latest for your child to be safe.

Thanks to Britax for sponsoring this wonderful giveaway and our host, Everything Mommyhood, as well as our fabulous co-hosts, Green Grandma, Mew Review, Military Wives Saving, Spit Up is the New Black, Faith Filled Footsteps, Downshifting PRO, and Coupon Spice, and a handful of other bloggers for helping promote.

flattenme Personalized Water Bottle Giveaway

Here we have a giveaway of one $24.95 personalized water bottle from the folks over at flattenme. Enter below for your chance to win. Before entering, be sure to read the review of the flattenme water bottle.

flattenme Personalized Water Bottle Review

The personalized book thing seems like it is everywhere these days. I still like it, especially as someone is just learning to read. The new reader's excitement as they see their name in the story is unbeatable the first time they see it. The printers/publishers are branching out into new products to see what else they can personalize. Thanks to the folks over at flattenme, I had the chance to try out their personalized water bottles. You provide the picture and they will superimpose the head of your child on a superhero, ballerina, or astronaut, among several other characters, too. Your kid then gets a water bottle that will never be mistaken as someone else's.
