Casio ~ CTK-3200 Portable Keyboard {Review & Giveaway ~ US only}

I reviewed a Casio keyboard last year on my other blog, which helped Davey learn to play the piano. There is a lot of musical talent in our family, and Davey can now sound out pretty much any song he wants to on the keyboard or piano. My younger brother is extremely talented and can play pretty much any instrument he tries. He has been playing the alto sax and guitar for several years, has played the baritone for a couple of years, and can play other instruments if he had more access to them. He can pick up an instrument and figure it out pretty easily. We have had a piano since I was a kid, but my brother, being a teenager, stays up in his room most the time and has not played on the piano very much. He recently asked me to see if I could get another keyboard for review so that he could start playing and could take it to college with him this fall. He has had this keyboard about a month and has been sounding out music and composing his own music during this time. Casio sent us the CTK-3200 portable keyboard for [...]

Thank you Butch & Harold and Celebrity Trend Expert, Rachel Florio-Urso, for providing me with a Stickr Message Board, free of charge, for review. These are my own honest opinions. I love wall stickers, but I had never seen any quite so unique as the ones at Butch & Harold. They have Stickr Frames to put photos in, Stickr Corners to put artwork or photos in, the Stickr Message Board I received, and so much more! This Stickr Message Board is truly one of a kind. It is a mirror and a message board in one. It even comes with the marker and a holder for the marker that sticks on under the message board. Putting it on the wall was simple, just peel and stick. We did have one little problem though, our wall was a bit textured and we didn’t realize it. So when we look in the mirror it is distorted a bit from the texture. However, it looks really neat and I plan to leave it up anyway. I put it on a narrow wall in my room just inside my door. The marker holder sticks on, and folds out a little bit to [...]

Thank you ProFlowers for providing me with a $65 gift certificate, free of charge, to purchase a product for review. These are my own honest opinions. It’s that time of year again… yes, that time to think about graduation gifts! ProFlowers has so many great products for graduation gifts, not even just flowers — they also have some sweets and gift baskets! I was given a gift certificate to choose an item from their graduation gifts. Since I didn’t think my brother would really appreciate flowers for his graduation gift, I chose some flowers for my mom. She loves Canterbury Bells but can never get them to grow here. So I ordered the Canterbury Bells Garden in the Victorian Tin for her. She absolutely loved it! It looks great sitting on our kitchen table, and I am sure if my mom decides to repot them or try to plant them outside, we will find some great use for the pretty tin it is in! This is a great gift idea if you want to give a lasting gift of flower. A bouquet of flowers will soon need to be thrown away, but these are potted and as long as [...]

Thank you X-Doria and Max Borges Agency for sending me the Dash Folio iPad Mini Case, free of charge, for review. These are my own honest opinions. I am addicted to iPad Mini cases. I have tried out a few now, but I’m always eager to try out new ones. So I was excited when I got the chance to work with X-Doria on a review! They recently sent me their Dash Folio to try out. I love folio style cases and this one is very stylish with its multiple layer design. The outside is black with touches of gray, and the interior is gray. It has a hard case inside that the iPad Mini pops into, giving you added protection. It has the auto wake/sleep feature that has become a must-have for me in iPad cases. It has a magnet inside that makes your iPad Mini sleep when you close it and wake when you open it. This is a really great feature, especially if you don’t want to hear constant alerts from your email or Facebook. When I open it, it shows me all the alerts I missed. The stand is kind of unique on this case, or [...]

Thank you Pong Research and Max Borges Agency for providing me with an iPad Mini Case and Cover, free of charge, for review. These are my own honest opinions. I have become a little bit addicted to iPad Mini cases since I got my iPad Mini in January. Since then, I started lining up iPad Mini cases for review, and I now have 7 different iPad Mini cases. I use different styles for different things. The folio style case is my favorite, and I have a few of them, but my new Pong Research case is by far my favorite! I received the iPad Mini Case and Cover about a week ago and have been using it almost all the time since then. The instant I put it on my iPad Mini I fell in love with it and knew this was my new favorite case. I have received 2 other cases during this time, and tried each of those out for a day, but then I immediately went back to the Pong Research case. First of all, just first impressions with putting on the iPad Mini Case and Cover, it is just really nice! It has leather look and feel [...]

Thank you Emerson Creek Pottery for providing me with a Posie Pitcher, free of charge, for review. These are my own honest opinions. Hi everyone, I have a great review and giveaway for you from Emerson Creek Pottery! We are redecorating our kitchen and really needed some nice accent pieces to go with the new colors we are planning in the kitchen. I have been wanting to start a little collection of pitchers. I have one, and my mom has a couple, so when I saw Emerson Creek Pottery’s Posie Pitchers I knew this was what I wanted to review. I chose the Copper Clay Posie Pitcher which is a beautiful coppery, reddish-brown color. My picture really does not do the color justice! It is a gorgeous color and looks great on our kitchen counter! This is a small pitcher, as you can see from the counter backsplash behind it, and it holds 8 ounces of water. It is dishwasher and microwave safe and ovenproof. All of their items are lead-free as well. We use ours purely for decoration. We thought once our flowers start blooming we may cut a flower to put in the pitcher on occasion. I considered [...]

If you haven’t heard yet, Kenmore recently sent me a double-oven for review! You can see all my previous reviews from both my blogs in my sidebar under the Kenmore logo. I am nearing the end of my reviews — They requested I post 8 reviews between both blogs, and this is my 8th one, but I still plan to post a little “summary review” tomorrow, as well as another review later this year when we use this double-oven for our holiday cooking. They sent me their Elite Double-Oven Freestanding Electric Range, and I have to say while I was very nervous about using it when it first came, I couldn’t live without it now! And because Kenmore is tested for living and makes such high quality products, I shouldn’t have to “live without it” for a very long time. They are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, so that should tell you something about their products! They wouldn’t have made it 100 years if their products weren’t made to last! We have a 20 year old Kenmore refrigerator and a 15 year old Kenmore washer that are still going strong. We would love to update them, but can’t justify [...]

If you haven’t heard yet, Kenmore is celebrating their 100th anniversary and they recently sent me an Elite Double-Oven Freestanding Electric Range for review! You can read all my previous reviews by following the links in my sidebar on either of my blogs. Some reviews are on Mommy and Me Giveaways and some are here at Just Davey & Me. In this review, I want to talk a bit about Cookmore, Kenmore’s recipe sharing website. At Cookmore, you can find all kinds of yummy recipes, posted by Kenmore or Kenmore’s chefs, and also posted by various users who have uploaded recipes. You can “love” a recipe to easily find it later, or create a cookbook and add your favorite recipes to your cookbook, either from the site or ones you added yourself. Then you can easily share your cookbook with friends and family. You can browse recipes, or browse cookbooks if you want to find a cookbook with a certain theme. I have spent a lot of time looking at Cookmore and trying to decide what would be best to try first. We want to try out more features on this double-oven so I chose the Slow Cooker Cowboy Sliders for [...]

If you haven’t seen my previous Kenmore reviews yet, Kenmore sent me their Elite Double-Oven Freestanding Range at the beginning of this month. I have my previous reviews listed in my sidebar, under the Current Giveaways widget. I am posting a series of reviews on both of my blogs through the end of this month. We have tried out a few features over this month, and just tried out another last night — the Cake setting! Yes, this oven has settings for some specific foods such as cakes, breads, and pizza. These settings are designed to give optimum cook performance when baking these foods. We decided to try out the cake setting last night while baking an orange cake. I love that you can set the oven for this with just the touch of a couple of buttons. Hit the cake button, then press start — piece of cake! (Pun intended.) If you need to adjust the temperature you can, by just keying in the temperature before pressing start. This setting cycles between cook cycle and convection to bake more evenly. Our cake turned out amazing! Since we were using a new recipe I am not sure if it was [...]
