Welcome to the Tennessee State Fair! Review

We recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with the Tennessee State Fair and attend their event. In exchange for my honest review, we received admission tickets and ride wristbands.

The very first ride they saw was of course the Alien Abduction. For those of you that don't know, this thing just spins around and around. My boys absolutely LOVE it! Me, no thanks!

  

Next they were off to the slides. They walked those LONG stairs MANY times just to zoom back down it! The one to the top left wasn't going as fast as he'd have liked. Notice the arms in the air?


Then off to the coaster. This thing looked really interesting! It basically just went into a fast circle and then you head very loud sirens, just when you thought it was stopping, it decided to take you back around it..... backwards!


Ummmm. No Thanks.


This ride here... CRAZY! 

Unfortunately my one son didn't see it in action before he got on it. Needless to say he wasn't smiling for long! The other one that rode it LOVED it!


It took them for a series of spins up, around what seemed like upside down and more. I was dizzy just watching them!



No fair is complete without the animals! Loved the little bunnies! It was a pretty warm day so I didn't like the fact that they were in those cages with only a big fan blowing in. Some of those rabbits were very large and very furry and they were obviously miserable. I know many of them are like that at "home" as well but I don't have to see it. Probably wouldn't have been so bad if they were allowed loose in a play "area" that they couldn't escape from. 


Another one of my favorite "attractions" was the booth dedicated to my local county fair. The home of Minnie Pearl, Centerville, TN. Down here, we're country ya'll. Our fair holds canning competitions and it just doesn't get anymore delicious than that! The next few pics are of the exhibit from my local fair at the State Fair.


Last but not least, the bumper cars. The rode these at least 15 times back to back!






Overall, we had a great time! My boys rode most of the rides and it wasn't overly crowded when we went. I look forward to going again next year with my family.



Thanks for a great 2013 fair!

Kalorik Steam Mop Review and Giveaway Ends 1-26-13

I recently had the pleasure of working with  Kalorik  and do a review of their  Kalorik Steam Mop . This couldn't have came at a better time. I'm in the "New Year, New You" mode right now and there are lots of things I want to change. Harsh Chemical use is one of those things. The Kalorik Steam Mop works off of ordinary tap water! No detergents, soaps or chemicals needed! You can use the Kalorik Steam Mop to clean linoleum, ceramic tile, stone, marble, carpet, sealed hardwood, parquet and more! It's also very light weight and easy to use! I spoke with Kalorik via email on a Wednesday morning, and less than 48 hours my product arrived via FedEx! Two Thumbs Up! Upon arrival, it took all of 10 minutes to have it open, put together, and ready to use. It came with 2 small screws to attach the base to the actual cleaner, throw a microfiber pad on the base and we were ready to steam! I have hardwood flooring in my entire house so floor care is not something t...

Mabel's Labels Review

  Signs of April receives free products for review purposes and may sometimes be compensated for posts. Posts may also contain affiliate (marketing) links. Thank you to  Mabel's Labels  for sending out their Name Label Gift Pack for us to review.  Labeling is pretty important this day in time. Especially when you have children in school.  Being organized and having everything labeled is very important in our home and even more important for her school items.  We were able to customize our labels, as you will as well. Emma, aka The Baby Child, LOVES any and everything Unicorn so that's what we went with.  Things are often very easily picked up and never returned because something wasn't labeled with a name. She's also very notorious for leaving things at school or on the bus, so these labels will be a game changer!  The Name Label Gift Pack comes with 25 labels which is more than enough to label her school items.  We labeled her lunchbox, ben...

Never Go Down Without A Fight: One Mom's Struggle to Fight CPS

Many people don't know a whole lot about my personal life. I normally keep things quiet and just post my reviews and go on about my day. I started this blog to do coupon match ups but quickly found that I liked doing reviews and hosting the amazing giveaways. It pretty much keeps my mind occupied from the struggles I face and have faced daily the past 4 years.  Four years ago (next month) I lost custody of my then 8 year old daughter. She had gone to her Dad's for a 2 week summer visit in July of 09. I let her go a few days early simply because we weren't doing anything big here at home, however I told them that she would probably be needing a visit to the the Dr by the next morning because she had just gotten into some poison ivy and it would probably be spread by the next morning, but if they were willing to take her, then she could come early. The two weeks came and went and I didn't hear much from anyone. They had taken a trip to Panama City Beach so I didn...
