CSN Stores review - New Laundry Basket

You might remember awhile back I was contacted by CSN to do either a giveaway or review and I did a giveaway. So, I was really excited to be contacted again and I decided to do a review this time. As I've mentioned before CSN Stores has 250 sites and so many different products -it was actually kind of hard to pick what to review!

I looked at Accent Furniture Direct and thought there's a few things I could get...
But, one thing we needed around here or more specifically that my daughter needed was a new laundry basket. It seems the laundry baskets she's had -have not lasted very long. She had a pop-up laundry basket but,eventually the wires started poking out of the fabric. Then not too long ago I found a different kind but, was disappointed that after about a week it started getting bent and the metal started to poke out of that too -Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:










So, a few weeks ago I picked out and ordered a new laundry basket -We decided on this hamper. I can say that the ordering process went smoothly and it was delivered in a timely manner. As you can probably tell we got 1 with a little bit of a design but, it's kinda plain -white:
But, luckily we could add the fabric liner from her old hamper for a little punch of color-See:








So, it's been a few weeks and so far so good! I would recommend checking out CSN stores for your shopping needs.

My Child ID - A review

Did you know that on an average day in the U.S. 2,170 children will go missing?! Over 2,000 kids missing -PER DAY! (U.S. Dept. of Justice.) And one of the greatest tools we have to help find those missing kids is - AMBER Alert. I'm sure we've all heard of Amber Alert-Right?!

Well, from the same people that bring you Amber Alert.com -there is a new downloadable software called My Child ID. And when I was offered to try it out -of course I was thrilled! My Child ID is a great way to help parents securely store your child(ren)'s information. Of course I was relunctant to think that putting all my kid's information together on this software is really secure -But, I was reassured that it is encrypted with the same technology that the NSA (National Security Agency) uses so I do know that the data is safe! With that in mind I put in my kid's information. It is pretty easy to use and the software is compatible with Windows/PC users and Mac users alike.

I think another great feature for older kids is that you can store their usernames and passwords to different online social networks. All in all I think instead of a system of assorted papers with vital information this is a great way to securely store that information for your family. And if something were to happen you'd have all the info. there and you can send an alert to your network of contacts you put in. I did not get the USB keychain but, if you do get that you'll also have your kid's information in a handy easy to carry way that you can lend to babysitters -etc. also.

Also please remember that if you buy the software for $19.95 or the software+ USB keychain for $39.95 that the sales of the My Child ID will help continue in the efforts to support law enforcement at no cost.
