Mother's Day Gift Guide - Collage.com Photo Blanket & #FREE 8X10 Canvas Print!

As a mom of four, one of the things that makes me the happiest is getting a good picture of my children. I have spent thousands of dollars getting professional pictures done over the years, but often times I find my own home pictures are actually better and more natural. But printing those pictures is a hassle and I can't print jumbo copies that I can hang on my walls. That's where Collage.com comes in.  They take your home photos and turn them into high quality prints that are nicer than anything you'll get at a picture studio. Have your favorite family photo printed on canvas, aluminum, or even a blanket. The possibilities are limitless.

 For my review, I was sent a gift code for a photo blanket so that I could experience the full Collage.com service. They make it incredibly easy to create your masterpiece. All I had to do was upload my favorite photo. I barely had to make any adjustments at all. It was super easy and only took a few minutes. Once the picture was loaded, I was able to choose between a full color print, black and white, and  sepia. I went with color print, but you can preview how each option will look to help you decide. You can also crop the photo down to size or adjust it so it fits. In addition to the blankets, you can also create your own canvas, bamboo prints, calenders, ornaments, and so much more.

Once I was done with the ordering process, I proceeded to a secure check out where I was happy to see shipping was a reasonable price. I received the finished product about a week later.  I was very happy with the whole shopping experience and I am very excited about getting this beautiful blanket. It's soft and cuddly, and the colors are very vivid. We'll be sending this one off to my husband's mother so she can snuggle with her grandchildren even when they aren't close by.

!!!!!!!!!!!FREE CANVAS!!!!!!!!!!

If you've been dying to get a canvas print but thought it was too expensive, now would be a great time to try this fun service. New Age Mama readers are being offered an exclusive discount.  Just in time for Mother's Day, you can get a FREE 8x10 CANVAS!  Just pay the shipping and handling. To take advantage of this offer, simply enter the code NEWAGEFREECANVAS at checkout. This offer is limited to the first 1000 people to respond, so don't wait.

Make Pleasure a Priority - Trojan #Giveaway

The makers of Trojan™ Lubricants in collaboration with YourTango released a national survey today, examining the sex lives of American parents. The survey uncovered 78 percent of parents report diminished sex lives after having children. The good news is that sex and pleasure are still a priority to most parents, with 40 percent of parents saying that if they had an extra hour in their day they would spend it having sex with their partner.

In an effort to help parents bring the pleasure back into their relationships, the makers of Trojan™ Lubricants partnered with YourTango to tap the real experts – parents – to share their stories, experiences and tips on making the most of limited alone time.

"As a mom I know that between work and kids, finding alone time with your partner can be a challenge to say the least," said Logan Levkoff, Sexual Health Educator, Member of the Trojan™ Sexual Health Advisory Council and mom of two.  "Happy parents equal happy children, and intimacy plays an important role in keeping couples connected. After children, many couples become better communicators, which makes it easier to be open about your wants and needs, whether it's incorporating Trojan™ Lubricants or experimenting with a fantasy."   

While today's parents say the reasons for a diminished sex life are busy schedules (27 percent), the need for extra sleep (25 percent), and children always being around (21 percent), they are still finding ways to get creative and make pleasure a priority.  Top tips from the parent experts include:

• Make pleasure-enhancing products a mainstay in the bedroom: 68% of parents turn to lubricants and nearly 58% turn to vibrators to help set the mood and achieve the big "O". Fortunately the makers of Trojan™ offer a full line of lubricants and vibrators to help parents spice things up and increase the pleasure.

• Of those who haven't yet explored the pleasure aisles of their local retailer, 71 percent are interested in trying products to enhance pleasure and maximize the little alone time they have.

• Create a sexy secret language: Parents have taken to using code words to build anticipation for their bedtime activities. "Back rubs" and "business meetings" have taken on a whole new meaning!
• Plan a "sex-it" strategy: While more than 41 percent of parents say they need to be more flexible and spontaneous with their sex lives now that they're parents, it's important to schedule time away from your kids. Plan a play date for you and your partner alone, giving you more time to reconnect.
• Sexting: More than half of parents have sent steamy photos or texts to each other. Creating a sense of excitement and anticipation throughout the day can be a great way to start foreplay hours before you make it to the bedroom.
• Open the lines of communication: The survey showed a direct correlation between the level of open, honest communication and the level of sexual satisfaction that parents experience, with 40 percent of parents being more comfortable expressing their wants and needs post children.
•  

"The survey made it clear that parents are striving to maintain that passion by trying new things in the bedroom," said Bruce Weiss, Vice President of Marketing for Trojan™ Sexual Health products.  "They're looking for products that make the most of their alone time and Trojan™ is answering that call with our new line of Lubricants." 

The makers of Trojan™ Lubricants are committed to providing the tools everyone needs to experience pleasure – this includes parents too. 

• Arouses & Releases

Our Thoughts:

What makes Share Brand headphones a great purchase? Not hearing from my son that he can still hear what's going on while listening with them! Not only that, but he was impressed with how stylish they are! These are used every day, whether attached to my laptop, his tablet, my cell phone, etc. He always has them, always!

I love them for the fact that they support men and children's health! More products should give portions of their proceeds to support causes as such. I enjoy that when you purchase these, yes, they're a little more expensive, but you're helping others at the same time!

There's a button on these that allows you to stop and play the music without having to turn the screen back on the device you're using. One click of a button on your headphones and you can pause and play at will. This isn't supported on all devices, it's trial and error really. Nonetheless, this is a fun and easy feature!

These are great quality! The sound is awesome, and they are built well. A lot of headphones don't hold up well, but as I said before, my son takes these everywhere and uses them all the time. I haven't noticed much wear and tear on them.

I'm sure that you will enjoy them just as much as my son does, and you may even get them for your yourself!

Review: Funnybone Toys and Funnybones, the world's oldest game you've never played!

 Funnybone Toys is a toy design company creating games that have won nearly 20 awards.   Their newest product, Funnybones™, the world’s oldest game you’ve never played, will debut at the New York International Toy Fair 2014.  Funnybone™ pulls inspiration from a classic game that has been played for over 2,000 years.  FunnyBone Toys has revamped the ancient game with a modern twist.

Our Thoughts:

We love Funnybones! I thought originally it was just for kids, but I was incredibly wrong. I found myself personally playing with this into the early morning hours, determined to get it right! I never did. Addicting and fun, every kid will love this new addition to the Funnybone Toys family. Numerous ways to play, all of which involve tossing the bones in the air and trying to catch them. It's really not as simple as it sounds. 

You get five different colored bones, a carrying chain, a pouch and a rules book. Your imagination is key! Even though there are suggestions in the rules book on how to play, you can continue to create new ways to catch them; there isn't a wrong way! We have laughed and cried and been angry several times at these little bones; every time it's been because we can't catch them accordingly. 

This is a great addition to our game repertoire, and is perfect for that special kid in your life! You can play by yourself or with others, and the ideas to game play are limitless! There will be hours of fun had when playing Funnybones™, the world’s oldest game you’ve never played. Inexpensive this makes a great gift for any time of the year!
