3D Light FX Basketball Light Review & Giveaway!!!

My preschool age son is a sports fanatic. At a year old he was playing basketball and by 2 he was dribbling like a pro and making baskets in a full size hoop in the driveway. It’s no wonder when we were expecting his little brother that we did his new “big boy” room in a sports theme. Recently I was contacted by 3D Light FX about a new product line of sport themed lighting. It was a no brainer that I would jump at their offer to review the lights. I choose the basketball light, which is no surprise. It arrived quickly and was super easy to install. The first thing was to put the decal template on the wall. If you have ever put up a vinyl wall decal, this is very much the same process. You simply peel the paper off the tacky part of the decal and affix to the wall. Then you rub the paper covering the front of the decal so it transfers from the paper to the wall. I wish they had included a plastic tool that comes in other vinyl decal kits because that would make it easier for someone who has never done this or does not have a tool like that. I have one but I ended up using a small board book of my sons as a tool to smooth the paper and transfer the decal. Then you carefully start at a corner and peel back. If you see that any portion is not affixed to the wall, just put the paper back and rub that part and then lift the paper.

When you remove the paper you will have a nice decal with a template for the light. You install the batteries in the light and then install the anchor screws where shown to attach the light to the wall. Simply switch it on for a neat effect in any room. The light comes in soccer ball, basketball, football,hockey puck and baseball styles. If you are looking for a great accent light for a sports nut or little boy or girl’s room, this light is perfect. I also think these lights would be perfect to mount on the wall with bunk beds so that they can each have a light that is close for them to turn on and off and creates a cozy light. Great in a game room or Man Cave as well.

3D FX Light is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win their own 3D FX Sports Light. Thank you 3D FX Light for the review light and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US and Canadian residents.

Organized Living, Big Mesh Sports Basket Review & Give-Away!!!

Having five kids, four of which are boys and add in my husband, we have a lot of balls in the house. Okay, get your minds out of the gutter!!! I am talking about sports balls!!! We have more basketballs, soccer balls, playground balls, footballs, volleyballs and baseballs than I could ever count. I told you how we are trying to get our garage more organized, so when I was asked to pick a product to review from Organized Living, it was the Big Mesh Sports Basket, without a doubt. This great basket is configured with hooks that attach directly to the Grid (SKU 4696425041) or mount direct on the wall. Soft sides are super strong to hold pool equipment, toys, tools, and more. The basket is huge and extra deep to hold large balls, and so much more. The basket dimensions are 30W x 26H x 18D. My husband put this up in our garage right into the studs and it is so strong. He wanted me to put both little ones in it to take a picture to show you just how strong it was. This basket is not going anywhere even if the kids want to slam dunk the balls, when they put them away. It is really great to have a nice big space up off the floor that can hold balls and other sports equiptment. There is a slit on the front that makes it easy to get the balls in and out. This has definitely been a great addition to our garage and really is helping us get organized.

Big Mesh Sports Basket

Contigo AUTOSEAL® Madison Water Bottle – 24 oz, Review & Giveaway!!! {Giveaway Ended}

Recently, I was sent a green Contigo AUTOSEAL Madison 24 oz. Water Bottle. When my four-year-old saw it, he declared it his, because it was his favorite color. As we were heading out the door to his soccer game, I happily obliged. Filling it with fresh ice and water, it took me just a few seconds to show him how to push the button on the back of the lid, so he could drink from it. He thought that was pretty cool, and it was easy for him to handle. He showed it to all his team mates and we have been using it ever since. He even likes to use it at home. This bottle has an excellent seal that guarantees no leaks. I have thrown the bottle in my diaper bag and it has been flipped around and no leaks. The size is great and the quality is excellent. Comes in great colors, so you are sure to find your favorite. One of the things I really like, is that Contigo only makes BPA-Free Bottles.
