Dorm Trunks and C&N Footlockers

This is an exclusive review and sneak peek for the upcoming Back to School Giveaway Hop next week! Be sure to check out the bonus at the end of this post.

Please let us introduce you to DormTrunks.com!!

If you have a tween or teen, a good solid footlocker is a blessing for many reasons. Where do you attractively store all those video games and books? Maybe your kids head off to summer camp every year with less than perfect solutions for their belongings. Perhaps they're getting ready for college and need someplace safe to stash their valuables and electronics. This is exactly what happened to us a few years ago.

Our oldest son was headed to college and wanted to take all of his expensive electronics with him. I was less than thrilled. After searching the web for solutions, we found C&N Footlockers and were intrigued. Not only was the footlocker built to last and a billion times more solid than anything like it you could find locally, it provides extra seating. Bonus!! We purchased our son a Companion Footlocker in black with an Anchoring Cable so it could be locked and secured to his bed at his college apartment. Today, he is married and uses the footlocker for blankets in his home and it's lovely. It will certainly last the test of time and his children will be able to use that footlocker.

We were sent the Happy Camper Footlocker in Light Blue to review. Let me tell you, it does not disappoint! All the footlockers at DormTrunks.com are built with 3/8" solid aspen plywood. Yes, wood! Not some thick cardboard or paper board product. The outside is steel with a scratch-resistant baked enamel finish. Can you believe it? Steel and wood. Honestly, this thing is one sturdy puppy.

The color is consistently the same and not darker on top. Silly shadows!

Additional features include:

Water Resistant and Tear Proof Interior Liner
A Lifetime Warranty
20 color choices including everything from Hot Pink and Lime Green to Olive Drab and Chocolate.
Included Divided Nylon Glide and Go Tray
Can be personalized and decorated with stickers and paint if you want.
World Class Customer Service
Sturdy metal handles, hinges, corners, hasp and details.

There really is just not a footlocker out there that compares to the C&N Footlockers at DormTrunks.com, they truly are amazing. We encourage you to visit them and see what they have to offer. Read the reviews, you'll be sold!!

Fantastic Modern Rugs from AllModern.com and a $25 Giveaway

NOW CLOSED, thanks for entering!! Winter has arrived with a vengeance here! Along with the snow and cold outside are the wonderful things that get tracked indoors. Can you hear the sarcasm? I can nearly hear my poor floors screaming every time my husband drags in ice melt pellets, wet snow and mud. We have tile floors, wood laminate floors and also carpeting. Each one of my flooring types have rugs to help protect them... and as a bonus, rugs are just plain fun! We jokingly call the big 8x5 rug in the living room the "messy mat" because it catches all my husband's crumbs. Now is a great time to invest in new and modern rugs from AllM odern.com (part of the CSN Stores network) as it's an inexpensive way to change the entire feel of your home. What better time to change the look in your home than the dreary wintertime! It's like a mood pick-up for your home and family. I could really use some new runners and this one is beautiful: However, I like

Endo Review and Giveaway!

We're so excited to introduce you to Endo ! Endo is here for all your outdoor t-shirt needs with incredible graphic designs to wear. Cyclist? Camper? They're here for us all. Seriously, what's better than a bright yellow tee with a huge tricycle on it? Yes, a huge yellow real tricycle would be nice but hey, you couldn't wear that and it would undoubtedly be much harder to come by! We were happy to discover that the Endo t-shirt is longer than some which is definitely a bonus. You know, no risk of the bad "low rise jeans - shorter tee - don't bend over or sit" dilemma. It's also pretty dang soft and comfy. In addition to this great t-shirt, Endo also sent their logo tote bag. These kind of backpack tote bags, or "man bags" as all the local teens call them (because all the boys in junior high have them!) are perfect for a light backpack to carry a water bottle, camera, cell phone, snacks, etc., for an impromptu hike, nature walk

Sit-upon Tutorial By Rachel Beyer

As a former Girl Scout, I have lots of fun camp memories. I remember learning to tie knots, set up camp and to cook over the campfire. An essential Girl Scout tradition is making a sit-upon. A sit-upon is a homemade waterproof cushion. They are easy to make and I remember using them every time we did any activity while sitting on the bare ground, which most often was damp or scattered with uncomfortable sticks and pebbles. A sit-upon is great for sitting around the campfire, your backyard, or even a sporting event. There are lots of ways to make a sit-upon. When I was a Brownie Girl Scout, we made ours from old vinyl tablecloths and foam. But in a pinch, you can use a plastic garbage bag and a stack of old newspapers for padding. To revisit this simple craft project, I decided to use a roll of vintage vinyl wallpaper I found at a thrift store and some foam I bought at my local craft store. Essential Supplies: Waterproof Material (vinyl tablecloth, or other store-bought vinyl or
