i Like Book Review and Mompact Giveaway!

If you like to scrapbook and keep journals, you’ll love the “i Like Book“! It takes journal writing to a different level by having you literally write what you like about the recipient each day. I wasn’t really sure what this book was all about when I first heard about it from Mompact. But once I had the chance to look through it, I really fell in love with the concept. I gave my mom a book once that was for her to fill out with her memories, family history and things she loved about her family. I had forgotten about it until after she’d passed away and I came across it. She had filled the entire book out in her final months. I can’t begin to tell you what a treasure it is. The “i Like Book” is one of those things that has that same power. By filling this out and giving it to a loves one, you have the ability to not only let them know exactly how you feel, but to give them a pick me up whenever they need it!

There are lines to write the recipients name and then what they like about you. You can start your book at any time. It isn’t limited to the first of the year. You can write in the month and start it at any time you want.

There is a spot in the front of the book to add a photo. It would be great to use a photo of you and the recipient together. I also like that your child has a place to write what they like as well. If they aren’t old enough to write, they can draw a picture or you can write it for them. This makes the “i Like Book” a great family journal experience.

#Mompact Blog Hop: Smart Seat Chair Cover Review and #Giveaway.

Giveaway and link to what MomPact is all about is at the end of this post!!!
I am super duper excited to be a part of the MomPact Blog Hop. I am going to be sharing with you the Smart Seat Chair Cover. As a mom of four, my fabric covered dining chairs really get put through the ringer. Literally. They are scrubbed down almost as often as they are sat upon. I’ve tried grocery bags, garbage bags, bath towels, regular dining chair cushions. You name it, I’ve probably already given it a shot. And yet, my children (and some other family members) still manage to spill something in my chair or drop food and really grind it into the fabric. My chair fabric is pretty much ruined. And while I also have wooden dining chairs, the fabric ones tend to get used the most. So I needed something to cover them that would stay in place and actually be waterproof. Because if you spill an entire glass of iced tea on a towel covered chair, guess what? It still soaks through the towel. And if you have plastic under the towel, well it all just slips off of the floor and the chair still gets wet.

So, I was very pleased to be selected to review the Smart Seat Chair Cover. It is made of waterproof, stain resistant, and machine washable fabric that is extremely soft, almost plush or micro suede-like. The cover has 4 very long straps so it fits virtually any chair you have. You start by folding one front strap around a leg and pulling it underneath the chair. Pull a back strap from the opposite corner and wrap it around its leg. Attach the two straps together under the chair. Then repeat with the other two. This will create a criss-cross under the chair. Then tuck in any extra fabric. It is ingenious and stays put! I put it to the test with my wiggly little four year old and the cover didn’t budge. Not once. She dropped food and water and it didn’t soak through either. My chair was as clean after she finished eating as it was when she started. YES!

You can see in the photos above how well it covers my chair. I needed to smooth it down a little more but it goes on very easily and the fabric is fairly stretchy so you can pull it where you need it. It fits nice and snug because you can secure it in place with the velcro on the straps. You can also see how nice and long the straps are. I had plenty left and just simply gave it a little wrap and tuck when the chair was upright to keep it from hanging down. It was unbelievably easy to put on my chair. Here is a video from their YouTube channel that shows exactly how to put the cover on. It is every bit as easy as the video shows too:

The covers have a pricing structure so that the more you purchase, the more you save:

Units	Price Per	Savings

1 to 3	$19.99
4 to 5	$17.99	10%
6 to 7	$15.99	20%
8+	$14.99	25%

It fits a huge variety of chairs as pictured below and Colors include:

Sandstone Tan
Chocolate Brown (The one I have and it is beautiful)
Midnight Navy Blue
Metro Black

It might seem a bit pricey but in the long run, these covers save you a ton of money in new furniture. As messy as mine get, I would spend a fortune just replacing the chairs or even just the fabric on them. With the Smart Seat Cover, if there is a spill, I can just toss it in the wash and clean it right up. So it is actually a very great value and a fantastic way to protect your furniture. And, as mentioned, if you need more than one you save by buying 4 or more. When I first received it, I didn’t see how a $20 chair cover could win my affection. But after using it for a week I can honestly tell you that I LOVE it! And it will remain on my chair for the younger kids to sit on.

You can currently find the Smart Seat Covers online at smartseatdiningchaircovers.com and other online retailers such as Amazon.
