Clic-It: Smart Diaper Bag System
by Briana Carter on November 12, 2010
Clic-It is the smart way to carry a diaper bag. As a mom of four, I’m wishing this system was around when I needed it! It is a unique system that combines convenience and accessibility to help keep parents organized. Plus, it is a stylish bag for either parent to carry.
So why is it cool?
It allows you to customize your bag based on your child’s age or activities. You can easily remove, add, or rearrange travel accessories with the patented-pending quick release clip system. Plus, everything you need is at your fingertips, which eliminates the need to dig in the diaper bag for what you are looking for.
Accessories include:
- Bottle Holder
- Insulated Tote
- Pacifier Case
- Diapers and Wipes Case
- Organizer Pouch
- Key Ring
- Gadget Case
The Gadget Case is a really cool accessory especially if you use your diaper bag as a purse but want something to detach when you are leaving your child in other hands or just making a quick trip to the grocery store. This bag holds what you want WHEN you want it! I love it!
The Clic-It Diaper bag, which includes the deluxe changing kit is $49.99. Each additional accessory is additional starting at $4.99. You can purchase at Clicitbag.com and will be able to purchase from additional retailers in the near future.
Cli-It is kicking off the “Gearing Up for Baby” Contest from November 15 – December 24. You can log on to Clicitbag.com for details on how to enter for a prize pack including a new Clic-It diaper bag and accessory assortment (value $117).

Olivia 2-in-1 Transforming Playset & 8″ Plush Doll
by Briana Carter on November 12, 2010
The Olivia 2-in-1 Transforming Playset from Spinmaster allows your child to go on adventure with 6.75 year old Olivia. You can transform Olivia’s house magically into a pirate ship. The house includes her bedroom, kitchen, and living room.
Sofia, my four year old, says you can go on a “journal” with Olivia cuz she has a map. I’m pretty sure she meant journey but it was cute! This is an adorable playset. My only annoyance with it is the Olivia figure doesn’t stay on her base very well. I’m sure it’s because of her scrawning little legs.
Toy set includes:
- Transforming House/Pirate Ship
- Olivia Figure and Base
- 23 Accessories
- Sticket Sheet

There is also an adorable Olivia 8″ plus doll. She is soft and perfect to cuddle with! Collect all four including: Artist, Opera Singer, Cow, and outfits. Both are available at major retailers like Toys “R’ Us, Target, Kmart, and Amazon.com.
Visit Spinmaster.com for more items!

Toy State Road Ripper R/C Mobile Command
by Briana Carter on November 12, 2010
My kids have a bit of obsession with cars. They get it from their daddy and papaw! Needless to say the boys were thrilled to get a remote controlled car to play with!
We were sent the Toy State Road Rippers R/C “Mobile Command” blue with white striped Viper. I’m taking the boys word that is a Viper. This car is providing hours of entertainment for them!
- Lights
- Sounds
- Walkie Talkie Themed Controller
- Styles include Dodge Challenger and Dodge Viper
Eli’s favorite part is that it can back up just like a real car does. It was the very first thing he had to tell me. He is six years old and was able to get this out of the box, put batteries in it, and figure out how to play it all by himself. He wanted to show you how it works below. (This is a home video – not professional quality by any means!)
Road Rippers R/C Mobie Command or Motor Muscle are sold online at Amazon.com or in stores like Walmart, Target, Kmart, and more! Retail price is $35.00.

The Hunger Game Trilogy Review
by Briana Carter on November 7, 2010
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins was recommended to me by a friend. I’m so glad I took her suggestion as I voraciously read the entire Hunger Games Trilogy in a weekend.
The Hunger Games is set in a future or parallel universe where every year there is a Survivor type event where children will fight to the death. The citizens of Panem are required to watch while their young children try to maintain their survival. It is the ultimate sacrifice to remember the citizens that the Capital is who is in control.
The heroine in this story, Katniss, bravely takes her younger sister’s place in the The Hunger Games. Once she made her choice, she is determined to win. Readers will be gripped and on pins and needles throughout the book to reveal the dramatic ending.
I don’t want to give too much away but once you start reading you will be hooked. This book is not only entertaining but brings up all sorts of questions about today’s society. Are we mindless robots like the people in the Capitol? Have we lost our humanity?
This series is geared for young adults but this old adult was held captive by the trilogy and yearns for more. You can purchase the paper back version of The Hunger Games for just $4.98 from Amazon.
