~ Review ~ Rain Chain Great Gift for Mother's Day!

I received this free for my honest and unbiased review. If you purchase from the link below my friend at MommaBearsBook Blog will receive a small commission. I will receive nothing.

Ok, how can you not love these? This is just a lovely example of a rain chain. Never heard of them? Well you have no idea what you're missing. This is a simple concept. Replace your gutter downspout with the rain chain. It's simple to install. Then wait for the rain. When it rains this makes such a lovely tinkling sound when the rain hits it and goes down the chain. It rained right after we put it up and I just love listening and watching it. I can sit on my big wrap around porch and see it.

This rain chain is nice and long, and extends from the gutter almost to the ground. Mine is maybe a foot away from it. I have mine hanging over a flower bed but it works really well over a barrel or something you may use to collect rainwater. Then you can water your garden, flowers and pets. The rain chain is nice and light in weight making it not an issue to hang from your gutter. It will not cause your gutter to fall or sag. It sways in the wind and doesn't pull at your gutter.

This rain chain comes with an easy to install v section for your gutter. My husband had it up and ready to go before I had even asked. I had been wanting one of these for ages, admiring them at friends homes. I am just as thrilled with it as I thought I would be. I adore the beautiful copper patina that in no way detracts from the house or yard. It's just a lovely addition to our front porch. I will most certainly be buying more, including one for my mom for Mother's Day as she has been eyeing mine.

You can buy one of your own HERE on Amazon.

~Review~ ABC Train Decal

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

We love wall decals. Who doesn't love something that is inexpensive and easy to remove when you want a change. My son loves trains and he is now learning his ABC's. He is two and so I knew this was the perfect age for this ABC Train Decal. So I got one for his bedroom.

The decal itself is very easy to install. You need to go slow but peel off, then press where you want it to be. Smooth with the included plastic tool (That's awesome). Next slowly peel off the outside layer smoothing as you go. Make sure to take it slow and steady with this part. After you do the train you will do the same with the letters.

I love that you have your choice from a ton of colors and fonts for the train, smoke and lettering. You can pretty much match it to any color scheme or room style. I chose a Dark Blue because my son collects Thomas the Train and I knew it would match. It arrive in a tube with the train, lettering and a small sample. Ours was an adorable owl. I actually am going to use that in the kitchen if my daughter doesn't steal it.

The only downfall I can see to this particular decal is that it is not reusable. It is fully removable though and will last for years! You can get one of your own on aluckyhorseshoe Etsy webpage.

I love DIY projects as you all know. Don and I plan on officially having our wedding next year in March so I have been looking for great DIY floral arrangement idea's.

~Review~ Chalkboard Labels by Cestari Kitchen

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I love labels, and use them all the time. Normally I slave away making fabric one's and sewing or gluing them on. This takes ages, especially for large projects. So when I was asked to review these Chalkboard Labels by Cestari I knew this would be such a time saver.

These are just so easy. Use your chalk marker (or chalk) and write on a label. Then peel and stick where ever you want it. Don't have a chalkboard marker? Cestari will give you one when you buy the labels FREE! The marker has a very fine tip. It doesn't smear, drip or streak. Yes! They are erasable also. Just use a damp cloth to wipe off. Even better, you can use the Cestari Chalk Pen on glass, mirrors, vinyl, etc.

This Chalkboard Labels by Cestari set includes 52 labels in a few different sizes. This makes them good for any size project from Mason Jars, to drawers, to note's for your kids. Did I mention that they are reusable? You can remove them by heating them up and peeling off, then place where you want them. So if you stick them on crooked the first time, no problem. I love that they have a shaped edge and are not just square, so much prettier.

You can buy your own set of Chalkboard Labels by Cestari Kitchen on Amazon. Don't forget your free Cestari Chalk Pen. The details are on the page.

~Review~ Canvas n' Decor ~Happy Home Guide~

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I just love canvas. I have the beginnings of a wall full of canvas for my family. I have tried a few different companies since I started a year ago. I must say that from the moment my Canvas n' Decor canvas came in the mail I knew I had found the best one. The photo I sent to them was one I snagged off of my facebook page. I just moved and so do not have my photo's all unpacked yet. So I honestly wasn't expecting it to turn out more than just alright. They did an amazing job.

This is the photo I chose, straight from facebook.

This is my brand new canvas from Canvas n' Decor.

In the original photo my husband and I have very dark faces. But in the canvas they are much lighter. The canvas itself is exceptionally well made. It's very tightly stretched around a large, thick wood frame. The wire hanger is already attached. Most canvas companies send you a hanger with teeth that you must hammer in yourself. So, I was very happy it was attached already. Not to mention it has a soft shell over the wire so that it does not scratch your walls.

I most certainly will be getting more canvas from Canvas n' Decor. The quality is just unbeatable. You will be able to see more about Canvas n'Decor in March on my Happy Home Guide ~Products that will make you and your home happy!~
