Dora the Explorer Multi-Bin Toy Organizer from CSN {Review}

I posted awhile back that I had a review coming from CSN Stores... well wait no longer, here it is.  I had the hardest time deciding what I wanted to review, since there's over 200 stores you can literally spend hours, even days, browsing for products.... everything from kids items to console tables.  I finally decided to add some more storage to my girl's playroom and got the Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer Multi-Bin Toy Organizer by Delta Children's Products.

I absolutely love this organizer and am so happy I ordered it.  It came very well packaged, double boxed, plus all the pieces were wrapped inside.  I did notice one tiny flaw in the picture on the side- there was one spot on Dora where the paint had chipped off.  It's barely noticeable, in fact probably only by me since I put it together.  Assembly was so simple, the instructions were clear and everything was labeled, you only need a screw driver.  It's very sturdy once put together and the girls love it!

 There's enough room for lots of toys, smaller on top and larger on the bottom.  Of course it didn't stay all nice and neat once the girls started playing with everything.  And though the bins are pretty durable, don't let your kids try to sit in them as it'll bend the cardboard.  I'm trying to figure out how to keep the baby (1 yrs. old) from taking the bins apart everyday, but still LOVE this toy organizer.  It looks super cute in the playroom and is really functional for lots of odds and ends.  CSN Stores offers lots of other toy organizers also.

If you've never visited CSN Stores, check them out now and the thousands of products they offer.  You can also connect with CSN on Twitter and Facebook and look for extra savings on their blog as well.

Watch for an upcoming GIVEAWAY to CSN Stores on my blog!!

Disclosure:  I received a free product for the purpose of this review, no other compensation was given.  The thoughts and opinions above are 100% my own and yours may differ.

Time for Tea

Well it's Fall, and I have my first official cold of the season.  It's nothing major... started with a stuffy nose, then a little scratchy throat, and now just feeling run down.

So I actually broke out the one box of tea I have in the cupboard, and I never drink tea (I'm a coffee drinker).  But with having the above symptoms, I felt like sipping on a hot cup of tea with honey and lemon.

If I have it right before bed, it usually helps clear my nose & makes my throat feel better, plus helps me sleep really well.  Yay for tea... what are some of your cold remedies?

More Winners... Congratulations!
