I am a Bzzagent and receive these products for free to try and give my opinion. I have 20% coupons for those interested also :)

I received the wipes, 80ct, two sippy cups and used my coupon to get the training diapers.
First, the wipes.  Although my little guy doesn't need them as much, since thank goodness he is mainly potty trained, except for some night accidents.  However, with 5 kids, living in AZ where they are always barefoot and dirty, we've had plenty of occasions to use them!  I was actually very surprised how strong and sturdy they are.  I do like the fact that they are scent free. I don't think I'd mind the baby smell if I had a little baby, but since my youngest is now 3, this was really good. I've bought name store brand wipes in the past, but they were never as good as these Kroger brand. Very impressed and definitively earning a 5 stars!
The training pants: cute with little fire fighter. Same feature as the pull-ups with the  design that disappear if wet and with the sides that can come off easy. I must give an honest opinion on those and thus must admit that I have no idea on how absorbent they are, because we are being very successful at potty training ;) From the look and feel, it's a 5 star from me too, very comparable to brand names with the same features.
Sippy Cups: this is where I give it a 3 star.  The cup is not insulated for freshness. That is a big no non in a toddler's life.  Because no matter how vigilant of a mother you will be, your child will always find that morning sippy full of milk and take a sip at 6:00pm! With non-insulated cups, he will experience his first taste of sour milk for sure.  The second negative part is the "suction". It is so hard to get anything out of it.  I know younger babies suck pretty hard, but still, the child shouldn't turn blue!
I love the idea of having the tip covered with a lid, but the lid is too hard for a little one to open on their own, which can be frustrating for both sides.
It earn the 3 stars from me for the fun two colors, the lid covering the tip from germs and the hard to misplace valve, due to it's bulk and different shape.
All in all, I'm very happy with their products and will recommend them.

Goodwill Finds

I love going to Goodwill.  Some days are good, some not as good. I just like to get toys for my kiddos, to complete their collection of Littlest Petshop or Playmobiles or Little People. I scored pretty good today.  All this for $21.  The cameras are digital and they work. It's just fun. I use 20% coupons each time (get them by signing up for their emails). Thursday is dollar days, meaning that everything from a certain color/week is $1.00, but it's hard to find things unless you get there right at 9:30.


It's not like Santa didn't bring enough crap to our house, but really, kids are made to be spoiled a little or a lot.  So I will indulge and spoil them with my Goodwill finds as long as I can (then move onto grandkids, but I have plenty of time to think about that, ahhhhh).
