I was so impressed by Aveeno's Kids Sensitive Cream. It smells lovely, without being too scented and it rubs in super quick. My kids (and my) skin was so soft after use, it was amazing and it felt great after having dry, winter hands. The cream leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated, and it isn't greasy. I am buying this again, and not just for my kids! -

We received Spin Master's Hershey's S'mores game to try, and it was a winner. The kids were super excited to try because it said s'mores on the box, but despite finding no 'real' marshmallows in the game, they enjoyed playing it. You can play with 3-6 people with the winner making 3 perfectly toasted s'mores. Design-wise the game looks nice, the board is round and looks like a campfire and there is a very small, battery-operated, light-up campfire that lets people know when they get to shift their marshmallows closer to the campfire 'embers'. The game is fun, once you figure out the rules. There are parts of the rules that are not really well explained, but you can figure out once you start playing. You really do need the light-up campfire to play the game, so make sure you have 3, triple-A batteries handy before you begin playing. This is a great game for young children (eg. 6-8 years) and would be a great lead-in before a family were to go camping for the first time. The pieces are made of heavy cardboard, plastic foam or hard plastic, so it will last. #FamilyRatedClub #thisisButterly -

I recently tried Hello's sage and eucalyptus deodorant with shea butter and loved how well the deodorant worked without the inclusion of aluminum. The sage and eucalyptus smelled nice and fresh, all day long, although I wish the eucalyptus was a tad less strong. Hello's deodorant provided protection for at least 12 hours, my full work day, so that was great too. The product was great on my sensitive skin and I had no irritation. The one drawback I found was that the deodorant did not go on smoothly, it was a little sticky so it wasn't the best with black shirts and it didn't roll on smoothly in cooler room temperatures. I will be buying this again and am really glad I had the chance to try it.

For families with children loving PAW Patrol, the Chase and Shark Action set will be a hit. This set features the ever-popular Chase with a shark he can use to ride to the rescue. Chase attaches fairly easily to the top of the shark, using the shark's fin. Then you can wheel the shark around, with Chase on top, to have the shark open and shut it's mouth. My kids loved the 'chomping' action of the shark. Chase is relatively immobile though, only his head turns. The one disappointment was that the toy is not meant to be put in water. Despite the name Aqua, it is meant to be enjoyed on dry land. Spin Master makes sure that message is clearly posted on the packaging. Another fun toy for kids to add to their 'PAW patrol to the rescue' collection! #FamilyRatedClub -

I received a Colgate Optic White, Pro Series, battery-operated toothbrush to try and have been using it for two weeks now. The brush is surprisingly lightweight and is comfortable to hold and use. The 2, triple A batteries needed to operate the toothbrush come with it and are easily installed in the base of the toothbrush. The batteries and mechanics of the toothbrush are protected from water with a rubber O-ring. While the brush bristles are very soft, they do a decent job cleaning your teeth and gums during the brush's two-minute timer. There is also a tongue cleaner on the head, which is nice. There are a couple of hesitations with this product though. The head is long and narrow, not a nice round toothbrush head, which makes it a bit more difficult to clean teeth at the back of you mouth effectively. Also, the toothbrush vibrations are really soft and gentle; it is likely doing a fine job but it feels like you need to press down and help the brush work when your using it. Lastly, while the toothbrush head is supposed to be replaceable, I have not been able to find any local stores carrying replacement heads, which concerns me (of course this can change quickly too)! All in all a decent toothbrush that is amazingly lightweight for what it does! -

I was curious to try McCafe's organic dark roast ground coffee and the product did not disappoint! The dark coffee has a wonderful aroma from the moment you open the bag to the point when you take your first sip. The taste of the Organic Dark Roast seals the deal. The coffee has a rich flavour that keeps you enjoying the cup from your first to last sip. You will be tempted to go back for seconds! I'm looking forward to buying my next bag and sharing it with others. #mccafehighgrown #highgrown #gotitfree -

The first thing I noticed about McCafe's Organic Dark Roast beans was how enticing they smelled when you opened the bag, and the smell only improved when I ground the beans. When I actually got around to tasting the coffee, I wasn't disappointed, the coffee had a lovely dark, rich profile that was amazing. I will be purchasing this product in the future and have already recommended it to friends who enjoy coffee as much as I do! #gotitfree #mccafehighgrown #highgrown -

I absolutely loved McCafe's High Grown Organic Dark Roast coffee. The coffee had a wonderful, strong, rich flavour that was a treat to drink. It also smelled amazing once brewed! The fact that the product is organic and employs sustainable farming practices is a bonus. I will be buying this again! -

I don't know what it is about Irish Spring soap, but it definitely brings back memories! The original clean deodorant bar soap smells nice and fresh as soon as you open the box. The soap lathers up quickly and does a great job removing dirt, and even grease if you have it on you! Irish spring has gone the extra step to ensure that the product is paraben and phthalate free, which is nice. I know in the past I sometimes found the soap to be a bit drying, but I didn't notice my skin drying out this time. I'm assuming the addition of flaxseed oil helps with that. Regardless, I love the Irish Spring bar soap, it smells great and helps you stay smelling fresh all day. #TryIrishSpring #gotitfree -

To say my kids were excited to try out the 'life-size' Gabby's Dollhouse Cakey Kitchen set was an understatement! The kitchen set is just over three feet tall and has several plastic kitchen utensils and a few food items that young children can play with. Provided you want to add the batteries, it also plays kitchen sounds and catch phrases from the television show. On the whole, it is a nice set for a young child and it will provide them with hours of play. Potential drawbacks of the set, are that some of the food pieces are made from heavy cardboard, rather than plastic so you know they are going to be destroyed fairly soon. Similarly, some of the pieces required to construct the set (eg. curtains, back of fridge, front image of fridge door) are all heavy cardboard too, which may not stand up over time and multiple children. The set goes together fairly easily, once you figure out the instructions are hidden inside the bag containing all the cardboard pieces! That said, Spin Master did a great job ensuring that similar pieces physically can't fit into a wrong section, by making attachment pieces slightly different shapes, so if you do decide to forgo the instructions it can still be assembled! One odd thing that is missing from the set are plates and cups, there are some utensils, pot, and a pitcher, but no plates or cups, which my kids love to play with and serve pretend food on. My kids were excited to have Cakey cat included in the set though. Ultimately, I would recommend the set to families who have young children, it will be enjoyed and used. #FamilyRatedClub -
