Yoursphere

 My girls have been playing around Yoursphere and really enjoying it.  They created a sphere about Dance.  Really enjoying talking dance with the other kids.

My youngest joined an Arts & Photography Sphere and my oldest joined a Fashion one (along with a bunch of others)

 Creating the account is super easy to do.  The parent makes the account, then the child goes in with a log in and then changes it to their info.  Couldn't be easier.  If you have a tween or teen and haven't joined yet.  Make sure to use code YSMC-0041

I wrote this review while participating in the Yoursphere Test Drive program by Mom Central on behalf of Yoursphere. I received a free lifetime Gold membership on Yoursphere.com, Yoursphere t-shirts, and a $50 American Express gift card to facilitate my review.

Grill Daddy Pro Review & Giveaway (Father's Day Gift Idea!)

It is getting nice out, summer is almost here ...  Are you like my family and love to get outside and grill?  Who wants to heat up the house with cooking, when you can make some amazing food on the grill. 

The grill comes with a price though, they are a pain to clean.  If you don't clean them well, you get all that yucky burnt up old food on your new fresh food.  I have found the solution dear readers, thank to Mama Buzz and Grill Daddy!

I was sent a Grill Daddy to try out and review.  When I signed up, I didn't think much of it.  I know my husband loves to grill, so I figured hey something free to help clean the grill.  Normally we buy new supplies every year.  In my head, I was picturing the  Grill Daddy to be similar to the grill brushes I normally buy (on the small side).  When I opened up the box I was shocked at the Grill Daddy. It is huge (Measures approximately 22 by 4 by 6 inches) , and so heavy duty!     

The Grill Daddy is a unique system that actually cleans with steam powered cleaning tool that sanitizes grills and eliminates the burnt on food, grease and dirt. Cleaning grills can be a difficult and time-consuming task but the alternative is far worse. Unwashed racks can house bacteria that could contaminate food and leave an unsanitary and bad taste.

Utilizing specially designed stainless-steel brushes, the Grill Daddy releases water as users brush, hitting the grill and turning to steam while rinsing away unsanitary debris.

Other features:

·         Steam-powered

·         No rancid greasy residue builds up on the brush (liquefies and melts it away)

·         Safe for porcelain, steel and iron grills (hot or cold)

·         Ergonomic handle keeps hands away from heat and provides maximum leverage

I thought it might be a pain or complicated to use.  It wasn't!  It was very easy, just add water & let the steam power do the work for you.   Yes, this is a As seen on tv item, but it is one you really need to own!  If you use a grill, trust me you want this product!  

You can purchase your Grill Daddy for $19.95, and it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee.  You’ll also receive a color-coded meat thermometer free of charge with your order (did not receive this, so no review on that item).  You can also get the Grill Daddy at certain stores, like CVS, Sears, Kmart and of course Amazon!
