Coffee House Inspirations Creamer Review
August 29, 2010 by SaraM
Filed under Adults/Parents, Back to School, Dad, Grocery, Mom, Review, Reviews and Giveaways
Even though it has been a hot summer, I still have enjoyed having a cup of coffee here and there. I am not a huge drinker of coffee and probably will not be until I am at least done nursing/being pregnant. It is such a joyous moment in my life, however, when I do have time to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee (iced or not). All of the delicious cafe drinks are great, but not so nice on the budget or the waist line. So I was excited when International Delights sent over two delicious “skinny” coffee creamers to try:
Skinny Vanilla Latte: Experience this coffeehouse classic with a decadent infusion of sweet vanilla flavor, without the fat and 30 calories per 1 Tbsp. serving
· Skinny Caramel Macchiato: Sip and savor the bold coffeehouse caramel flavor with notes of sweet cream, without the fat and 30 calories per serving 1 Tbsp. serving
They both were good, but my husband and I preferred the Vanilla Latte over the Caramel Macchiato. I didn’t find them as creamy as our normal International Delight creamers, but the flavor was great and therefore a win in our book! Ohh, and I loved the way they felt in my hands ~ very European or something. I would certainly recommend anyone looking for a flavorful coffee without the fat to check out International Delight Coffee House Inspirations Skinny creamers. Especially those of you that need to get up early to get your kiddos off to school!!

Mastermind Review and Giveaway
August 29, 2010 by SaraM
Filed under Adults/Parents, Back to School, Big Kids, Dad, Giveaways, Mom, Review, Reviews, Reviews and Giveaways, Teens
Many of you may have grown up playing Mastermind, the great code breaking game. I for some reason, do not recall ever playing it. My sister, however, assured me that it rocked and it did. We played it as soon as I got it in the mail. She happened to be here ~ yeah!! The basic idea behind the game is that one player sets up a secret code (a sequence of colored pegs) and another tries to break it. My husband and I had a great time playing this game as well (and it was awesome to use my brain for something other than singing the ABC’s and the Itsy Bitsy Spider.Mastermind Attache, the travel version, comes attached to a small flat case (hence attache) with compartments to store all of the pegs.
I love the idea of making such a wonderful game compact and easy to take along. Unfortunately, I think that the execution wasn’t great. The pegs are small, very, very small. My husband had a lot of trouble picking them up. They could have made the whole game a bit bigger because there is A LOT of wasted space in the case (or made the case smaller). The peg holding compartments don’t stay shut so when you carry the case around all of the pegs go flying around the case, making it time consuming to pick up the tiny pegs. Also, I think that the compartments should be at the ends of the board game, just to make life easier. However,
I still LOVE this game. It is really a blast and is a great price (around $13 on Amazon right now.) I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, two person game that wants a little metal exercise as well.
WIN!! Two of our lucky readers will win Mastermind Attache!!

GROOBS
August 24, 2010 by Krissy
Filed under Adults/Parents, Back to School, Dad, Featured, Kids, Mom, Reviews, Reviews and Giveaways, Teens
If you’re looking for some soft and comfortable shoes and want to buy from a place where giving isn’t an option for them then you MUST try out GROOBS.
Jason Fry is the Founder of GROOBS Shoes. Jason is an entrepreneur at his core. His first successful venture was a lawn business when he was 12 years old. The company slogan was “Why Ask Why Try Jason Fry, The Lawn Ranger.” Since childhood through today, he has started various other businesses ranging from a fresh fruit and vegetable delivery service – to a successful commercial real estate capital company that is in operation today.
With GROOBS Shoes, Jason has decided to dedicate his energy and passion for creativity and more importantly people and concentrate on building GROOBS into a socially conscious company that gives back to the many people in need in our communities and abroad with the BOGO FIVE O business model.I don’t know about you all, but to me knowing that a company actually has a HEART means a lot to me. I like knowing that HALF of what I spend goes to help someone in need and what is great is knowing it is going to a charity of MY choice. GROOBS gives YOU the choice to pick the charity and to me that is just awesome.
Giving Relief Out Of Buying Shoes
GROOBS was founded for one reason. “Compassion.”
With every pair of GROOBS you purchase, you
and GROOBS become partners.
Partners in Compassion.
For every pair of GROOBS you buy,
we will give a new pair of GROOBS to someone in
need with the help of the shoe charity www.soles4souls.org
………..and we’re just getting started. In addition to sending a new
pair of shoes to a needy individual, you will also get to pick a charity of
YOUR CHOICE to send 50% of the proceeds to your chosen charity.
For short and to change the meaning of BOGO, we call it “BOGO FIVE O” –
Buy One Give One AND 50% of the proceeds will be sent to a
charity of YOUR choosing!
You pick the charity that you are passionate about.People may ask
“Why don’t I skip the shoes and donate directly to a charity?”
We say “Do it.” Make a difference in someone’s life.
Volunteer, give money but why not get your
GROOB ON and make an impact in a person’s life?
Others might say
“I’m just an average Joe,Tom or Jane, how does simply
purchasing pair of GROOBS make such a huge difference?”
As we mentioned above, buying a pair of GROOBS is also
giving a new pair of shoes to someone who is homeless
in your city and may not own a pair of shoes or a child that has
never worn a pair of shoes in their life and has an enormous
chance of contracting intestinal worms by not
wearing a simple pair of shoes.
Also, you may be driven to do something about hunger in Houston, Texas.
When you checkout you could choose the
Houston Food Bank and feed at least five people
for a day (YES A DAY) simply by
purchasing a pair of GROOBS.
Maybe Project Mosquito Net is YOUR charity and
you give to them all year round and you are
well aware that Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds
and an insecticide treated mosquito bed net would stop this.
Well when you buy a pair of GROOBS you automatically are giving
again through a purchase you were going to make anyway and your
purchase is giving another mosquito bed net to a child…………….
Go ahead, click the SHOP GROOBS link and give back with GROOBS.
Together we can make a difference and you get to choose where those
differences are going to be made.HOW THE GROOBS NATION WAS BORN
I, Jason Fry, and my wife were in church – December 2009.
I was sitting and thinking to myself “Wow!!!
I can hear the thunder but I just hope I don’t see the lighting”………
Just kidding……………not really. Anyhoo………..
December is the month when the church has their annual
giving drive to help those in need on a local, national and
international level. Seeing a picture of an impoverished
child behind the speaker hit me hard. I told my wife after
the service (because she gets mad at me when I try and talk to her
in the service), there is so much need in this world it’s overwhelming.
The thought is paralyzing. Need is around every corner and in every country.
I told her I have to do something. I said “Why don’t I create a shoe company
(yes I love shoes) with every pair of shoes we sell, part of the
proceeds are donated to a charity of the consumers choosing
AND we give new shoes to someone who desperately needs a
pair whether they live in Uganda or Houston, Texas.” Need has no boundaries.So what is this 50% of proceeds talk? How much is that really?
In an effort not to waste your time with “Business Man Talk” and
for us to be on the same page…….depending on the style of shoe,
shipping cost etc, 50% of the proceeds equates to $6 – $9
per pair sold being sent to your charity. We will keep you posted
constantly on the amount of money going to the charities per pair sold and overall.Finally, why shoes? Shoes are a necessity for everyone and collectively as
one huge consumer we can make a profound impact in this world we all share.
Whether you are passionate about cancer, autism, hunger, poverty and so forth……………..
we are all “on fire” about something. You choose your passion!!!
With that, GROOBS was born.The process is simple and my elbows are kind of shaking
from typing and I don’t have one of those foam things
that sits in front of your keyboard that you can rest your wrists on while you type.1. Pick out a pair of GROOBS.
2. Pick a charity you are passionate about.
3. Press CONFIRM ORDER……………BOGO FIVE O!!!
GROOBS. GIVING IS ON OUR SOLE!!!
So here are the shoes I was able to review from GROOBS.
Now I must have to honestly say that these babies are the most comfortable I have EVER worn.
Inside they are super soft, they really make you want to get on your feet and walk around, no more worries about your sore aching feet from walking the mall!- Soft Canvas Upper
- Suede Toe Area for that Suede Toe Area Look
- Durable Outsole with major traction if you want to add a dance move to your karaoke number
- Super Comfortable Insole
All of GROOBS shoes are super comfortable and the reason I know this is because
I was able to hand out some GROOBS shoes while at BlogHer in NY this year.
We got so many compliments on the shoes they were all so psyched about them!To say that GROOBS and Jason Fry are one of the best companies I have ever worked
with is an understatement. Jason is a great guy with an
awesome personality and I am honored to have the pleasure to work with him and
GROOBS and be able to tell you all about their awesome products.
So…I’m going to share more pictures of GROOBS with you! Get the feel for them and by ALL
means, buy yourself a pair of these babies!

Sock Grams
August 22, 2010 by Krissy
Filed under Adults/Parents, Back to School, Barefoot Thoughts, Big Kids, Dad, Featured, Kids, Little Kids, Mom, Review, Reviews, Teens, Toddler
We had an absolute great time at BlogHer. While we were in NY we were able to hand out some Sock Grams to some lucky ladies!
As you can see by the look on their faces they absolutely loved them!I am more than sure you all have heard of Sock Grams before, but if not here’s a bit about them.
Sock Grams was born out of the desire to send a greeting to a loved one, along with a small gift. We often found ourselves wanting to send a greeting card, to celebrate an important milestone our friends and loved ones reached, but we wanted to send a little something more than just a card. We also wanted to ensure the gift would last and, most importantly, be in acknowledgment of something that was important or of interest to the person we were giving it to. Novelty socks, in the myriad of patterns and colors were our answer!!!
We found a world of novelty socks that fit all areas of interest, patterns and colors. We found so many that were fun, fashionable and downright humorous!
With the artistic talent of friends at Brainmusic Design we’ve developed our own greeting cards for you to choose from. We wanted to make sure our customers could personalize these gifts, so we include a component to add personalized greetings and/or salutations.
In our search to make the Sock Gram package special and add a pampering component, we found a Medi-Spa Foot Balm. In each Sock Gram we include a .25 fl oz packet of Foot Balm. This Foot Balm was developed more than 60 years ago, specifically to treat feet. It can help relieve pressure of swollen and tired feet and speed healing of blisters and minor abrasions.
So, what does a Sock Gram include?
Your personally chosen novelty socks – as many pairs as you’d like to send.
One specially chosen greeting card, with a personal message, if you so choose.
One .25 fl oz packet of Foot Balm.
Your specially wrapped gift with tissue paper inside a durable, waterproof, blue metallic envelope.
What I love most about Sock Grams is the ability to give them as presents, for absolutely any occasion. Perfect for all of those sock lovers out there!
They can be simply given to brighten someone’s day.
We gave out some of these, and I love these!
They’re called ‘Cutest Pedicure’ Socks.Some Goldfish Glub Glub Socks;
And so many more! I’m calling YOU out! If you received some Sock Grams from us at BlogHer, please share!! Also, please send your pictures to me so I can post them on Barefoot Mommies!
Sock Grams offers;
Tons of sock for TONS of occasions!They all are SUPER cute!
We honestly had such a great time and really enjoyed seeing everyone’s faces when we gave them to them.Keep watch on Barefoot Mommies for MORE posts about Sock Grams, Twitter Parties, Giveaways and TONS of deals going on at Sock Grams.They’re gearing up for the Holiday Season so we’ll have A LOT more coming from and about Sock Grams!![halloween_ad_web_300X250[1]](http://www.barefootmommies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/halloween_ad_web_300X2501.jpg "halloween_ad_web_300X250[1]")

Paper Mate Plant-a-Pen Blog Tour
August 18, 2010 by LizN
Filed under Back to School, ReviewI love office supplies. It’s one of the things that’s making me feel better about sending my daughter off to school next week!
I knew that trying out the new Paper Mate eco-friendly pens and pencils would be a great way for me to test out some new writing utensils for me and a fun activity to do with my daughter. As the name of my post implies, you can actually plant some of the pieces of these pens and mechanical pencils. They are biodegradable, so, over time, they will break down completely in the soil.
The pens themselves write really nicely. I am a bit of a pen snob and am very loyal to particular pens. (I’m actually this way about ALL office supplies. I can be a real pain to work with.) I really like using these and added them to the family pen jar in the kitchen that we use all the time. I use pencils much less often, but these were nice to write with and my daughter likes using them for her assignments at home.
Planting components of them was fun to do. We used a container we had some marigolds in earlier this summer (before we killed them). My daughter and I thought it was weird to bury part of a pencil, but we’ll enjoy checking on it once a month. I set a reminder on our Google calendar for the 15th of every month to see how it’s coming along. (There is a pretty cool video on their website with a time lapse of the pen breaking down in the soil.)
I think these new Paper Mate pens are a great way to get the most out of your office supplies!

Sharpie’s “New” Liquid Pencil
August 18, 2010 by Carrie
Filed under Adults/Parents, Back to School, Big Kids, Dad, Featured, Household, Kids, Mom, Review, Reviews, Teens, Twitter Party
Okay here is the way for your kids to have “ULTRA COOL status”.. Of course Sharpie has done it again….. a Liquid #2 lead pencil… it is erasable for up to 24 hours and then becomes permanent. My 12 year old daughter is a Sharpie addict, if you have kids or you are a Sharpie addict too then this is what you need!
Step aside old yellow No. 2. Sharpie® will boldly enter the pencil business by revolutionizing the classic, tried and true writing instrument with cutting-edge liquid graphite technology. My daughter started 7th grade this week and got to take one of these in and use…the kids were AMAZED!!! Trading for cool pens is a “BIG” deal at her school and this was a “HOT” item to be traded.. BUT NO WAY would she do it!
The new Sharpie® Liquid Pencil hits stores nationwide this September. Using the newest liquid graphite formulation, the Sharpie Liquid Pencil writes like a pen but erases like a pencil. Sally Grimes, vice president of marketing for Sharpie says “Sharpening standard pencils takes up valuable classroom time, and mechanical pencil leads seem to constantly break. The Sharpie Liquid Pencil means no more sharpening, and it’s erasable for up to 2, after which it becomes more permanent. It’s unlike any other writing instrument out there.” The Sharpie Liquid Pencil features a line width comparable to a 0.5mm No. 2 pencil.
YES, ULTRA COOL STATUS is what kids will reach when they show up at school with the coolest, newest pencil around!
Liquid graphite technology for a better pencil!
- An exceptional writing experience
- Consistently smooth performance
- Easy erasability; no smudges – and no more broken leads
- Graphite becomes permanent after about 24 hours
- Strong, bold lines with a write length twice as long as other liquid-graphite pencils
- Unique pressurized refill technology
The Sharpie Liquid Pencil joins the Sharpie Pen as the latest innovation from Sharpie –now the largest writing brand in North America.
ABOUT SHARPIE®
For 46 years, Sharpie has been the popular brand of permanent marker associated with the autograph experience. Newell Rubbermaid, maker of Sharpie® markers, is a worldwide leader in the manufacturing and marketing of writing instruments, art products and office organization and technology products, including such well-known brands as Paper Mate®, Sharpie®, DYMO® Parker®, Waterman®, EXPO®, uni-ball®, and Rolodex®, among others. Visit www.sharpie.com for more information.
I am getting to enjoy a Sharpie Liquid Pencil for myself… and after showing it to a lot of my friends.. I have to say that I think I hit the UTRAL COOL status with them too.. lol
I think that after using this new pencil, I can’t go back. These do not seem to smear like normal lead and they write very smooth. You will be able to purchase these Sharpie Liquid Pencil’s in September to reach your ULTRA COOL status too, and at a pretty good price around $1.99 for a single and $3.99 for a double pack.
Disclaimer: Newell Rubbermaid sponsored this review by providing me with the above stated product for my review.

Patch products has some great games intended for your children but yet fun for the whole family.
When playing games I like being able to include everyone, including my 3 year old. Patch Products has the games that include everyone and you have to absolutely love that!We were able to review Patch Products 3D Sneaky Puzzles Singin’ Sea Creatures. Lot’s of fun!
I let my 3 youngest kids start making the puzzle and get finished with it before I let them see it in 3D with the awesome glasses that are included. They absolutely loved it! I must say I was quite impressed as well with the quality of the 3D. The puzzle pieces are big, so my littlest one doesn’t have any problems and the pieces are easy to hold onto.Not only is the puzzle simply awesome when you put it all together and see the great ocean life and the little fish that are swimming toward you, but when you look you can notice the letters of the alphabet and numbers 0-9 hidden in the picture. My kids absolutely loved pointing everything out to me. They had an absolute blast with this puzzle!
They really aren’t fond of puzzles because they take so long but they loved the 3D Floor Puzzle because Patch Products made it to entice our children! This to me, is a must have for anyone with younger children because they will have tons of play with it.
3D Sneaky Puzzles Singin’ Sea Creatures retail for $14.99 and can be found on the Patch Products website.

My daughter, almost 2, loves this Tigger and Pooh DVD and it holds her attention fairly well. I really like that it isn’t one long movie, but rather shorter episodes that make it easy to turn off after a segment. I don’t normally let her watch TV/movies at all, but on the rare occasions that I need to keep her occupied while I do something (like shower when DH isn’t home) it works great. I also like that it does teach some things ~ like wood floats and problem solving. This DVD probably is a bit better for a slightly older child, but my daughter will grow into it and is entertained non the less.
