Christmas Molds Review

Christmas time is a time for fun and laughter. It's a time for making unique things to give to others. What better way to do that than to use these molds to make your own personal chocolates or ice cubes. You can use the trays to freeze either water or chocolate, there really isn't a limit to things you can freeze with these. Especially the bigger blue ones, they hold quite a bit! I would suggest putting these at half to two thirds full when you are filing it so that way you don't have an overflow. Clean up with these is a breeze since they're silicone. I love these, and I love the fact that I can have frozen milk pieces that are so festive looking, it is just perfect for the holidays!

Click n' Play Saxophone and Trumpet Review

In the video I show how the instruments both sound and give a little demo of a song. There are 4 buttons on the trumpet. When one button is pressed, you get a single note. You can press, 2, 3 or even all 4 buttons to get a sound that is each pitch separately combined. I was somewhat confused on the trumpet, it had not only 4 buttons instead of 4, but the hole for your finger on the top should have been in front of the buttons instead of behind them. It would make sense if there were 3 buttons for the pinky to anchor, but since there are 4 buttons that hole is somewhat useless. Other than that, it does give off a rather clear sound.

The saxophone has 8 different buttons and a place for the left thumb on the back of the instrument. This one felt more true to the instrument with utilizing 8 buttons. It also allows for a more complex song to be played since you have an entire octave to mess around in. I personally enjoyed playing this one.

I think this is a great way to start out with win instruments, because it teaches that certain fingers make different sounds and also a somewhat lose way to hold the instruments. These are reed instruments though, they resemble a kazoo. You can add voice to them while blowing to give them a different sound, something I didn't show in the video. I definitely know that toddlers enjoy playing this, and it gets them interested in music, which I love. I do recommend this, just know that they aren't entirely true to the actual instruments in design or shape.

GenteckInc Sports Headphones Review

I really can see nothing but good about these headphones. They are extremely comfy first off. Like, wear them for hours comfy. Second off, they fit well around the head, not too lose and not too tight, and with room either way for heads larger and smaller. Something I was impressed with was the fact that the top part of the ear piece did not touch the top of my hear, unlike other hook headphones (it's amazing how the absence of something can really stand out sometimes). The sound quality, from the moment of pairing to when it needed charged, was superb. It has an extremely high quality sound quality. I'm most pleased with it, it brings out all aspects of the music. It is also really easy to pair, it did not take any time at all to pair, and it has a decent range so I don't have to worry about losing signal if I move a smidgen too far away. This blocks out a large portion of outside noises, which is nice if you are wanting this for sports, because those outside noises can easily become a distraction. Not so with these headphones, they easily handle even louder noises, quieting them to the point they are almost nonexistent. Finally, the volume and the other controls are on the right side of the headphones. I like the fact that I don't have to remember which side has volume and which one powers the headphones, having everything on one side makes it easy to do everything you might to do with your headphones one-handed.

Pros:
*Comfy
*Does not touch top part of ears like most ear hook headphones
*High quality sound quality
*Easy to pair
*Blocks out a large portion of outside sounds
*volume and controls all on side

I cannot actually find a single thing that I don't like about these headphones. I would highly recommend them, not just for sports, but for everyday use, these headphones aren't going anywhere unless you want them to.

MatchaDNA Matcha Bowl Review

This is a super cute, super functional bowl. I love everything Japanese, so when the sticker on the side boldly proclaims it's made in Japan, as well as the Japan stamp on the bottom, I get all sorts of giddy. This bowl is the perfect bowl for matcha in my opinion. It's tall enough so that when you're whisking it, it won't slosh out the top. It also has a thin edge, so whether you're serving or drinking straight from the bowl you don't have to worry about there being any spilling or issues. I love this little bowl, and I've found that this also is good for soup (I've only done warm soup, not steaming hot). I love this little bowl, and I love having something actually for my matcha now to drink!

Majestic Bombay Stainless Steal Cuticle Pusher Review

My cuticles are horrendous. There, I said it. So when I tried this out, I was a little nervous. It pushed my cuticles rather effortlessly, and it didn't hurt near like I thought I did. I honestly think it was just because that skin plain isn't used to being moved around. With this, I was able to see the full beauty of my nail. I have no complaints about this, this is truly a nice little cuticle pusher, it seems like I never will have to worry about it breaking, as sturdy as it is. I love how each side has a different shape and it's great for things besides pushing cuticles, a flat edge and a scoop are always handy in all kinds of situations.

32.8 Feet LED Lights Oakleaf Review

These are some really bright lights. And the fact that they're flexible and small means that they can go just about anywhere. They don't really heat up, even after using them for a while. They are super bright, and I am really pleased with them. I know come Christmas time, these will be perfect for adorning the long hallway, they are mystical looking and make everything lit, while still feeling extremely cozy. I love the way this lights things up, giving it a soft glow. This will be the first Christmas for my twins were they will better understand what is going on, and already, the lights and music are entertaining them. I showed this to them and they clapped with glee, they loved how small it was yet how bright it was. Truly enjoy using these, and I know they will make for a festive flair in my hallway.

Ball Room Dancing DVD Set

I imagine if you're looking at this, you're speculating learning how to ball room dance. So you are probably pretty much how I was when I came across this. My dancing ability was waving my arms around and hoping nobody would notice me. However, if you want to go to a wedding it might be good to learn how to dance. It is a thick case, and comes with 7 DVDs. Each DVD has 2 hours of video, so there is lots and lots of practicing dancing. The casing does remind me of Smallville, or any seasonal set. Each section has 1 DVD, which I was kind of perplexed about this. I wouldn't say I've mastered ball room dancing, but I do think I'm competent enough now not to look like an idiot. It's a nice little set, it's got a nice pace. It does feel like it's dragging (of course that could be the fact that I keep pausing it). It has helped me a lot, and if you're like me (dancing skill is waving hands around even at weddings). I decided to take the plunge and I tried out this set so now I'm dancing at least adequately.

Dance Lessons DVD Set Review

Do YOU think you can dance? If you're like me, not only do you have two left feet, you have two left feet and one has some issues. This little DVD set walks you through and teaches you 4 different styles of dance. It's got step by step dance lessons. Even if you're like me and the worst dancer ever, you could probably learn a thing or two from this. It's like a regular DVD. It does have two fliers, one for thanking you and one letting you know other DVDs that would be available for purchase. This is a nice set for wanting to learn, or if you want to brush up on your dancing. For what it's worth, I recommend giving it a go. Now, I dance like I'm just someone with two left feet instead of one that is stumpy.

Primary Health Sports Compression Socks Review

These are some extremely comfy socks. I have rather large calves, so I went with the large, even though my feet fit in the medium range. The socks fit perfectly! They were a bit difficult to get on at first, but that's like any other compression sock I have tried (and I have tried plenty since I swelled up like a balloon during pregnancy). The socks hugged my calves, and the heel fit exactly where it was supposed to. I have not had a single complaint about these, and they're perfect for keeping my feet and legs warm and I haven't lost circulation while wearing these, which is amazing! I totally would recommend these, I imagine that the stretching wouldn't be what it would with regular-sized calves,  but they fit my (19 inch) calves beautifully.

Mamaway Postpartum Belly Band Review

This is a really nice postpartum band. I have a lot of baby fluff that needs supported to help strengthen my muscles. I've tried several different ones now, and this is the most comparable to the one I received in the hospital. However, this one is a lot more customizable than the one that I received in the hospital. It breathes well, even wearing for periods of time I still don't feel like I'm in a sauna. Not only does it not make me uncomfortable with the fact that I'm not sweating like a pig, but it's just plain out comfortable. I still know it's there, but it doesn't dig into me, yet it still supports me. It stretches where I need it most, yet is gentle. I have a rather large scar due to a C-Section with my twins, and that area needs support,but is so sensitive. This has been really nice to wear, even in that area. It's supportive, I actually feel like I'm getting a semblance of stronger stomach muscles with this, if not for the pure fact my baby fat isn't trying to head straight the ground while dancing with gravity. The one thing that I did notice, was that it was a little difficult to take on and off at first, it is a lot more complicated than other belly bands than I am used to. So, there is a learning curve, but once the curve is learned, using this is a breeze. I highly recommend it.

Pros:
*Customizable
*Breathable
*Comfortable
*Stretches to areas needed most
*Supportive

Cons:
*Can be difficult taking on and off at first

WolVol Friction Powered Big Dump Truck Toy Review

I love the fact that this is completely mechanical, that I don't have to use a single battery for this. So many toys, especially ones that have movement that is caused by something inside them, need batteries. This one relies on mechanical gears working together, much like the little hop toys that I used to play with.

The dump truck's dumping action is completely automatic, all you have to do is flip a little switch on the driver's side, and the dump truck will immediately start the dumping motion. When you are done dumping the contents of the dump truck, there is a lip on the end so you can push it down. The back of the dump truck easily swivels, so you don't have to worry about it not swinging open when you're trying to dump it. I have noticed though, that filling this too full will cause the back door to swing open if you're not careful. although that aspect seems to tickle the twins to no end. But, I could see an older child easily getting frustrated with it.

The toy is entirely well-built, it is one that can, and has, withstood my twins' full force. The bright colors keep drawing them in too, so there is that.

Pros:
*Completely mechanical, no batteries
*Has an automatic dump
*Sturdy
*Bright colors

Con:
*Back door doesn't always stay shut

This is a completely mechanical toy, one that requires a big fat zero amount of batteries. It still has motions and whirring noise is not one you get with an electronic jingle. It's brightly colored to attract attention, yet it is sturdy enough to withstand it. I highly recommend it.

Cutieland Pouches Review

These pouches are good for more than just baby food. They are for all the cuties, young and old. Whether you do want to use this for baby food, for toddlers, kids, or even adults (yes, even adults can like an applesauce or yogurt on the go). These are easy to use and clean, so there really isn't any reason NOT to use them if you like foods like that. Just some things listed on the back: BPA free, dishwasher safe, freezer safe, eco friendly, do NOT microwave. So, if you want something to warm up or thaw, do it the old fashioned way and leave the microwave out of it. There is a zipper seal on the bottom so you can fill it whatever you need to fill it with (imagine trying to fill it through the mouth hole, that doesn't sound fun to me!).

WolVol Adorable Mini Fire Truck Review

This is a fun little toy, and it's bilingual. The Spanish is really clear and precise. The English is clear for the most part, but there are a few words that I just have a hard time understanding, even after the buttons have been pressed numerous times. The fire truck not only has words in different languages, but it makes noises pertaining to different emergency vehicles (ambulance, fire truck and police car).

The truck itself is fun, because not only does it have the buttons to do sounds and words, but it also is a fire truck. Something toddlers seem to always be enamored with. The ladder clicks up and down, it isn't stationary. It also lights up, so this has all the things a toddler would want: movement, lights and sounds. This definitely attracts the attention of toddlers and can keep them entertained for quite a while.

Pros:
*Bilingual
*Spanish is clear
*Lots of movement, lights and sounds

Con:
*English isn't the clearest

Even though the English isn't the greatest, I like that I can teach some words in Spanish to my twins. It also has what all toddlers like, which is movement, lights and sounds. I recommend this, just know that the English is hard to understand on a couple of buttons.

Gurin Water Flosser Review

This is a really interesting piece. It's exactly like what I see used in the dentist office. I may or may not have been exited to get one, and the fact that it's not hooked up to an outlet is amazing. I don't have to worry about it going too far away from the wall and coming unplugged.

I feel that it does get my mouth clean, and it's a great alternative to floss. I just have to use water, and I already use water to rinse my mouth out afterwards, so why not use the same amount of water to floss as well as rinse? It's a win-win!

I have had a blast (no pun intended) using this, and it's certainly nice for someone who hates trying to use the cutting strings of floss.

WolVol 2 piece Train Toy with Lights & Music Review

There are two pieces, they do hook together but they don't have to be connected all of the time. There is the main part of the train, which has a bell, buttons, and various other things that my toddler can interact with. My toddlers (twins) especially like the ball that spins and the little flip up character on the side. I did think it was kind of odd that the battery cover was a different color than the rest of the surrounding plastic, but it makes it easy to locate where the batteries go. The on/off switch is actually on the side, which is nice, you don't have to flip the toy upside down to get the lights and music to work (bonus!). There is a string to pull the train along.

The caboose is completely non-electric. It just follows along with the main part of the train. It does have 4 little animals who each have a different shape to their base, so only that critter can fit in that specific space. I thought it was really cute to watch my toddler pulling around the train with the different animals on it. There is a frog, chicken, cow and a dog.

The part that I really like is that it lights up and has music to go with the lights. You just flip the switch on, and here a little chime to let you know it's on. You can make it sound by pulling it, which is nice for toddlers that like to take things with them. If the toy is stationary, just press one of the buttons on the top for sound. Not only does this keep the toddler's attention, but it keeps mine without being one of those irritating baby toys.

Pros:
*Has a lot going on
*Noise when pulled or buttons pushed
*Has shape sorting in caboose with different animals
*On/off switch is on the side, instead of the bottom

Cons:
*Pull string is somewhat short

This is a really interesting toy, it is a great toy with or without batteries, although I definitely think the twins prefer it when the batteries are in it! It's somewhat loud, flashy, but not annoying, which is hard to find in a toddler toy (you can usually get 1 or 2 of those things, but rarely all 3!).

WolVol Take-A-Part Train Toy Equipped with Electric Drill and two Screwdrivers Review

I know I keep calling it a construct power set, but it's a take-a-part and a construct. There are three ways they provide for tightening or loosening the screws. There is a power tool, but there also are two hand tools.

With the power tool, you can flip a switch on the underside of the tool to change which direction it spins. You can swap out either of the heads, the flat head or the screw driver head, with any of the three ways to tighten / loosen the screws. The power tool is the only part that needs batteries, and it takes 2 AA.

All of the screws do look like screws, which made me pretty happy. All of the screws work better with the screw driver head, but the flat head works just as well. It's simple enough to take this apart and put it back together. When you completely disassemble this, there are a ton of little parts, which make this not entirely suitable for younger toddlers.

Pros:
*Easy to use
*Quick to assemble / disassemble
*Realistic
*Can be played with fully assembled or just as an assembly toy

Con:
*Small pieces not suitable for younger children (not really a con, just a caution)

I do want to apologize for my video once again, when I get an idea in my head over what something is named, it's hard for me to change the thought process until afterwards. Please don't hold that against this really neat little toy, it's been a blast to work with, and it's great for teaching my twins how things go together and are taken apart.

Tree New Bee Laptop Cooling Stand Review

This is a pretty nifty laptop cooling fan. Not only does it cool my laptop, but it does so in style. It almost reminds me of a butterfly, especially with the shape and the fact that there are 4 fans. It is incredibly quiet to, I was shocked at how quiet it is. It's a lot quieter than my laptop anyway! It does not contribute to the noise at all, I have loved using it. There are so many things going on with this laptop cooler, not only does it cool my laptop, but it cools my lap too. This allows the laptop to be propped up multiple ways. The cooler itself can prop up with legs in the back, but there are little feet in the front that can prop the laptop on the cooling pad itself to level the laptop back into a more natural angle. This also increases the air to the laptop greatly. Overall, highly impressed and definitely recommend.

WolVol Press And Crawl Inchworm Baby Toy Review

This is absolutely, positively, adorable. There are so many things going on with this toy, that it blows my mind. This toy is so simple to operate.

There is a little tab at the back of the head that you will have to pull to get it to play the music. Just be warned, when you first pull that little tab out, or at least when I pulled the tab out, the toy immediately started playing music. To turn the music on and off, there is a button on the side of the head with a little music note, you just press it once to turn it on, and once more to turn it off. It does seem to randomly do different songs each time you press it, at least I haven't noticed a pattern yet (but between twins playing with this, I imagine I will soon enough).

It does move like an inchworm. You press on the middle piece straight down, and release the pressure to get it to move. It then proceeds to shoot forward, the front wheels clicking while the back wheels making a rattling noise, since it has a ton of tiny little balls that spin around inside them.

The head is a little creepy, it is able to do a complete 360, which is unnerving when you think about it. It clicks as you turn it, which just adds to the creepy factor. That's the only thing that bugs me about the toy, but I can see the appeal to little kids, not only does it move, but it makes sound. I just get creeped out watching its head do a 360 multiple times in a row.

Pros:
*Adorable
*Easy to operate
*Moves like an inchworm
*Lots of different noises and movement

Con:
*Creepy head

Overall, I highly recommend this for little ones, my twins love it. Because my twins play with it, I can safely say this toy can stand quite a bit of abuse, it has two toddlers tugging on it for Pete's sake! I do recommend it, it's a perfect toy for young ones, and not insanity driving to the older ones (I mean the parents, yeah, the parents).

WolVol Steering Wheel Driving Review

There is so much going on with this toy. I'm actually kind of jealous, where was this when I was a kid? I mean, seriously? I would have had a blast with this!

This is incredibly realistic. I mean, granted, I'm probably not going to see the colors that this has in a car, but it has a ton of aspects about a car. It has a shifter, it has the ignition key, it has a horn, it has a REFLECTIVE mirror (can't lie I was excited about that, best part it isn't a warped mirror either!), it has a turn signal and it also has a button for music. My twins will be able to drive a car before they've even started school!

Ok, so this is recommended for littler kids, 18 months and up. Even at the ripe ol' age of 18 months, needing something with a strong suction, that won't knock over with the first charge through, is crucial. This has withstood far more force with the suction that I thought it would, which is really pleasing to me.

After the first initial attempt at toddler bowling ball (the toddler being the ball and the toy being the pin), they soon figured out how this worked, with practically no prompting from me. This has enough bells and whistles to keep both of them entertained, dare I say it, on the SAME toy! That doesn't happen very often right now, so I was ecstatic over that fact.

I might, just might have mentioned by now I have twins. Well, that means that this toy has to be put through a lot of use and abuse. It's held up to everything that has been thrown at it (I mean that literally, it's handled a ton of other toys being thrown at it during "clean up"). So I have no issues in saying that this toy, unless there's something wrong with the individual product, can withstand quite a bit. Mine has at least!

Pros:
*Realistic
*Strong suction
*Highly interactive
*Sturdy

Cons:
*Wasn't around when I was a kid! (Ok, not a con, just something I wish I had had!)

Overall, I really have enjoyed this, and I know as much fun as I've had tinkering with this, my twins have enjoyed it even more!

WolVol Adorable Car Toy Review

This is super cute. I mean, not only does it have an adorable little bug for the car, but it also has functionality, both with sound and without.

Without sound you can use this as a toy sorter. It comes with 6 different shapes, and each shape not only has a letter or number on it, but a fruit that rattles inside it as well. The red triangle has a number 1 on it, with a strawberry inside. The orange circle has a number 2 on it, with an orange inside. The yellow heart has a number 3 on it, with a group of bananas inside. The green square has the letter A on it, with a green apple inside. The lime green flower has the letter B on it, with a pear inside. The purple hexagon has the letter C on it, with a bunch of grapes inside. Each shape has its own little hole to go into, that is color coordinated to that shape. The back shape is on the back door, which actually snaps into place. The back door can be opened just like the back door on an actual car, allowing for easy removal of toys (or clean up).

There are two switches to make this toy go, and to play music. The music switch is on the left side of the bottom of the car (if you have the toy's front facing away from you), and the music is on when it is closer to the head of the toy, and off when it is closer to the back door. The music if plays ranges from songs, to car noises. The other switch, the one that turns the entire car on or off, is at the front. The switch has to be all the way on the right to get it to turn on. When it turns on, if you have the music switch on, it will instantly start playing music. It will also drop down a little set of rotating wheels, which causes it to go in random directions with no way to control it. My twins love chasing after this kind of stuff, and this one is slower than others I've had them play with in the past, but they like the sounds this toy makes more. When you turn it off, the wheels will come back into the body of the car, and the music will shut off. The toy is then a regular shape sorter again, that can be pushed around by little toddler hands.

Pros:
*Super cute
*Functionality with or without sound
*Includes shapes, numbers, letters and fruit with sorting pieces
*Has a variety of sounds
*Can move on its own or be pushed when off

Cons:
*None

I love the aspect that I can use this both with batteries, or without. One is more for stationary play, while the other is a chasing kind of play. Each has a different kind of fun.

KeyboardPad MousePad Review

This has nice rest support both the keyboard and the mouse. The memory foam feels amazing and allows me to use my computer all day without getting cramps or fatigue (eye fatigue is another story). The mouse glides across the mouse pad extremely easy. It doesn't heat up, even when it's been rested on for a long period of time. It has a comfortable sink to it, it doesn't immediately collapse but it isn't so stiff that it takes forever to conform to your arms. There is no glare, so you don't have to worry about this affecting your eyes any. It does stay put on the desk, it doesn't slip and slide, even though the desk it rests on is very slick.

Cattae Cat Scratcher Review

This is really nice as a cat scratcher, but it also doubles as a toddler toy. There are all sorts of textures for a toddler to explore, from the bumps on the top to the slick sides. It also has varying heights and holes, perfect for little questing hands. This also is a pretty large toy, whether it be for toddlers or cats. I was able to capture the wild toddlers playing in their natural habitat, but alas, my camera has been too slow for the almighty cat. I have gotten him laying on it, but that isn't very exciting.

Because of this scratcher's size, it is a little difficult to find the perfect place for this to call home. However, I did find a spot after filming this video. It's easily within reach of the toddlers if I move a gate, but it's still separate enough that the cat can go at it without me worrying a misplaced claw might find misplace some skin. It works really well at keeping the cat from clawing up furniture, so far, every time I have caught him in the act of scratching at the floor or furniture, I just scoop him up and put him on the scratcher. He gets his scratching in, while staying on the Cattae cat scratcher, and I don't have to worry about chasing him from scratching something he shouldn't have. It's a win-win.

Life-Phorm All-in-One Positioning Device Review

If you're like me, you can't use a selfie stick because your phone is too big (or your tablet, whatever floats your boat). I have the Nexus 6, and most selfie sticks do not hold my phone. This is perfect for group pictures though, something a selfie stick is not that good for (at least my family gatherings, which at minimum have 20 people). The legs swivel and hook incredibly well, I can use this just about anywhere, and I don't have to worry about my phone falling over, or being too close to the camera. I love it, and I wish this had came out when I first got my phone, so many awkward stances and so many other things could have been prevented with this! I highly recommend it, I love it, and I love how versatile it is!

First Botany Mud Mask Review

(video editing in process, video will be back up soon)

So I wanted to actually show how to use this mud mask. I did real time for the application, and I showed how to remove it once it is done. I want to just walk through the steps real quick though for how I applied this, how long I took, and how I removed it.

It really was quite easy to apply, you first have to make sure your face is clean, and dry. This part is crucial, you need a clean face before applying. If you have bangs like I do, I would suggest investing in a hair net, it keeps your hair off of your face while still not being bulky like a towel. After your face is all good to go, you want to start applying the mud mask. You want to do a layer that is somewhat thick, but yet still thin enough that you're not waiting forever for the mask to dry. It does take a little bit to apply, but you want to make sure to avoid your eyes and your lips. I would recommend applying this just a little below your jaw line, and as high up on your forehead as you can guarantee that your hair won't get in it. Cheekbones, nose, and above the lip are a must, those are the worst offenders for a lot of people. As is the forehead. And the chin.Really, if you have a face like mine, you're worried about breakouts all the time, everywhere.

I waited, with a medium thickness, a total of 13 minutes and 15 seconds. I waited until the mask was completely dry.

Recommended way to remove: warm water in a circular motion. I do use the circular motion to get most of it off, but there are a few areas that I don't. Do not be afraid to not do the circular motion, it doesn't have too much of an effect that I have seen. I do try to use it in areas that are possible, but if I'm trying to be speedy I don't always use the circular motion, I do just a straight wash off. After all of the mud is gone, make sure to pat dry. This part is important, scrubbing with a towel can aggravate your skin, don't do what I did and learn the hard way.

It will make your skin tingle. It's not uncomfortable, but it will make your skin tingle. Even immediately after your skin is dry, you can feel the freshness, the tightening of your skin. It really is an amazing experience. Do NOT use this more than every 3-4 days though, you could do some real dry out your skin if you do. Just be careful, and with any beauty product, test a little bit on the back of your hand and wait 24 hours to see if you react. Just a cautionary, although I personally have never seen any ill-effects from a proper mud mask. I highly recommend this, this is a really nice mud. (Who knew all those mud baths as a kid could have been so amazing for your skin?)

DEMYLY Silicone Grilling Set Review

The only thing missing is a basting brush. This is perfect for grilling or if you're wanting to do something in the crock pot. Shred meat with the claws like it is butter, grab said shredded meat with the tongs after it's cooked. Use the gloves to hold onto the crock pot (because it's old and gets hot on the outside) as you're getting the meat out. And a silicone spatula is perfect for grilling, due to the being able to withstand the temperature. I haven't had a single complaint about this set. The gloves fit my husband's hands splendidly, and while they are a little big on mine, due to the flexible nature of the silicone, I don't have any issues using them. I really enjoy it, and I highly recommend this set.

Dot&Dot Stroller Organizer Review

This is so much better than what comes with my stroller. I can't even fit a decent sized water bottle in the one that came with the stroller, and the part with a lid is only good for a few napkins. This however can hold two water bottles easily, and have a ton of room for say my phone, my keys, and any other small things I might need in the center area. There are also pouches and stroller hooks, so when I decide to go shopping and it is a lovely day outside, I can walk the twins down to the grocery store, and then use the stroller hooks to carry the things I don't want bouncing around in the basket in the stroller. I've already gotten so much use out of this, and it's held up quite well. It's pretty streamline, there aren't any major bells and whistles, but it does what it is supposed to do, and for that I am happy.
