I normally purchase the cheapest razors when I’m out shopping. For instance, the Persona brand is well known in our family as the cheap go-to razor. Personally, I think Persona works well for frugal people with easy to remove hair.
However, recently a representative from Schick contacted us to try out the Schick Quattro razors for women made with the sophisticated features of the Schick razor for men. The Schick Quattro razor has 4 blades with ultra-thin aloe & duo vitamin strips attached that works so well you can skip a day or two of shaving - FOR REAL.
I have to admit that I’ve really taken a liking to these high performance razors, and I’m not so sure I can go back to my cheap-o razor ever again.
Overall, A Moms Review recommends the Schick Quatro for busy Moms on the go who don’t have time to shave every day. The Schick Quatro is a good high quality razor that won’t break your budget. One razor with 4 blades and a holder is around $8.00 which should normally last you around 1 month+.
WHERE TO BUY: your local super center or grocery store

This year we didn’t do a Mother’s Day Gift Guide like many of the review/shopping sites
out there but we will be doing one next year as well as feature a few guides like back-to-school, Christmas, Halloween, and more coming this year. Yippee! So stay tuned!
For those of you that have yet to shop for your Mother or your wife, your in trouble…here are a few picks that we recommend.
1.) It’s too late to order online unless you are ordering flowers and there’s mostly junk or cliche gifts left in the stores so take your Mother or wife out to her favorite restaurant this Mother’s Day. This is something my family normally does every year!
2.) If dining out is not in your budget, cook a meal she loves at home and include the kids in the cooking! They will be delighted! Please do not burn the food.
3.) Moms take lots of photos so why not print out some of her favorite photos and put them in some cute frames for her desk or living room.
4.) If you’d like to buy a gift then you should hurry. We’d like to share with you a few of our favorite gadget picks out of some previous reviews.
The Epson PictureMate Dash Portable Printer! It’s small and super convenient for quick quality photo prints at home! This is probably one of the most useful gadgets I currently own.
Senseo Coffee Maker It makes the perfect single cup of coffee every time! I love mine! Yes, I know, everyone says to not buy household appliances for Mother’s Day but we need our coffee!
And you can’t go wrong with ipods, candles, cameras, & chocolate (not the cheap stuff!).
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mommies out there from AMomsReview.com!

What Mom doesn’t have a battle at bath time when it comes to washing our little ones hair? Either the water is in their eyes or ears, or their hair falls down in their face which makes the shampoo go everywhere. Completely tragic!
Recently I received a sample of the LIL RINSER, made by Splash Guard LLC, in the mail to see if it solved some of these hair raising issues. At first glance it has the look of a teacup, with the bottom and back missing, except it is soft & flexible. My 2 girls’ immediately ran with it, and took turns wearing it as a crown. Not exactly what it was intended for, but it got them comfortable with it for me to use that evening in the bath.
I first tried the LIL RINSER on my 15 month old son, and it seemed a bit large for him. I think it needed an elastic strip across the back for babies. But most little ones are very wiggly & slippery when wet and it takes both hands with them in the tub. My girls’ however are 6 & 3, and it worked great for them. They both have long hair, which is an issue in the hair washing process. My 3 year old is a screamer when it comes to water on the head. But, the LIL RINSER did take the hassle out of tilting your head back to keep the shampoo & water out of their eyes and ears.
In all, I think the LIL RINSER was a hit in my house. It comes in 4 different vibrant color combinations, and easy to follow directions. On the down side, I think it is a bit over priced.
Where To Buy: To see a demonstration or buy your own LIL RINSER visit www.LilRinser.com

These days most kids have an iPod, mp3 player, or other portable device with earphones. As parents, it is our responsibility to protect our kids ears and to teach them the importance of safety when using earphones.
Recently AirDrives offered to send us a sample pair of kids earphones to review. The kids AirDrives are different from regular earphones in that they are gently placed on the outside of the ear. These earphones are designed to bring music to your life rather than blocking everything out with loud music. The volume is also set to max at a lower volume so as not to allow for hearing damage. Overall, A Moms Review recommends AirDrives earphones for kids even though they are way overpriced.
Would you like to win a set of your very own AirDrives for kids? If so, all you need to do is answer the following contest question by visiting the AirDrives website then come back here and leave your answers in the comments section for us. Here is the question (Hint! answers can be found on main page of website easily here!)
What are the two features that adult Airdrives contain that AirDrives for kids do not?
Contest Rules: US resident, 18+, Void where prohibited by law. Deadline is April 30, 2008. 5 winners will be selected.
Leave your contest answer in the comments section. Those with the correct answer will be entered in a random drawing.

In a normal week, we probably eat cereal for breakfast 2 times. However, cereal for our family is not just a breakfast food. We like cereal for quick snacks in between regular meals as well as bedtime snack so we are always on the lookout for yummy yet nutritional cereals we can all eat together. Sadly, these days most of the stuff out there is pure sugar. I’m not saying that we don’t occasionally eat the sugar cereal but we try not to eat it all the time.
When Kelloggs contacted us to try out the new Wild Animal Crunch cereal we were quite excited to try it out. Kelloggs has partnered with Animal Planet to bring us this healthy and educational cereal.
As soon as we got the cereal both boys were mesmerized by the baby seal box cover. It sure was cute! The boys tried a few bites of the cereal and discussed all the things on the box (which they really enjoyed btw!). Within a few minutes I was pouring them a bowl of Wild Animal Crunch cereal with rice milk.
Overall, everyone agreed that the cereal was delicious. We absolutely had to buy it when we saw it in the grocery store this week! Since the cereal has 14 grams of whole grain and less sugar than most other cereals. I’m satisfied! This mom recommends Wild Animal Crunch cereal.
Where To Buy: your local grocery store or online Kellogg’s Wild Animal Crunch Cereal, 11-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

With Summer coming along in the next few months, sunscreen and sunglasses are popping up everywhere. Baby Banz are considered the ultimate in kids sun protection for the eyes and we have to agree. Recently Baby Banz contacted us to review their sunglasses and since we spend an insane amount of time outside during most months, Baby Banz sounded perfect!
After receiving Baby Banz in the mail, our 3 yr. old was eager to try them out. He kept them on for an hour or so while playing around the house. We immediately discovered that these sunglasses truly solves the problem of sunglasses constantly falling off your precious little one. Additionally, Baby Banz offers full protection against UV rays, and they come in a multitude of colors.
Overall, A Mom’s Review recommends Baby Banz! They’re inexpensive, cute, and offer great protection.
Where To Order:Baby Banz Infant Sunglasses - 12 Colors

My 7 year old son couldn’t stop talking about Hasbro’s Martian Matter after he’d seen a commercial for it during a Spongebob episode. So, for his birthday a month ago, he received this gift from his grandparents.
The Martian Matter set comes with the alien maker spaceship base,14 alien body halves,
3 containers of meteor mud (which is strikingly similar to Play-doh), 3 tubes of Lunar Lava gel, and accessories.
When I first saw the commercial for Martian Matter I assumed this would be another toy we threw in the trash because it didn’t work the way it was supposed to.
Upon first glance, making your alien seems harder than it is. However, once we set up the Martian Matter toy everything was so easy that even our 3 yr. old son was making creations on his own. We made several aliens on our first night with this toy and this toy is one of the most used toys in the house right now!
What’s great about the Martian Maker toy is that it doesn’t require electricity and it’s non-toxic. Plus there are so many creative things you can do with this toy.
Overall, A Mom’s Review recommends Hasbro’s Martian Matter because it promotes creativity, it’s non toxic, and it’s remarkably fun! This is another fun find!

If you are looking for a truly one a kind gift for someone very special to you, the

A Pillowcasegram is a custom made personalized pillowcase that includes a message kind of like an old-fashioned telegram but so much more. With all the junk posing as great gifts out there, this is definitely a rare find! It’s a fun new way to show you really care!
In addition to receiving a unique pillowcase that reflects your recipients interests (there are so many styles to choose from) you will also receive a handmade scented soap from In A Lather Soap Company. For the kid Pillowcasegrams, a color-free & fragrance-free “Just good soap” will be included. The Pillowcasegram also comes in a beautifully decorated gift box.
