Swinging Summer Fun With CSN Stores

I adore this babysitter swing I bought from CSN Stores as a review product.

I have it hanging on the kids' swingset and now I have a comfy place to sit while they play.

Here's the description for CSN:

This beautiful adult pine swing can be easily installed on most swing sets with common household tools. Its old-fashion swing inspired style is a great peice of wood work that any family can enjoy!

Features:

Pine wood construction

Galvanized zinc chains and screw-in eye hooks

Assembly required

Adult size

Let me tell you this swing is aweome and perfect if you want a place to hang out and read or enjoy the fresh air while your kids play. It sure beats the little belt seat style swings the kids use.

I got my kids this green deluxe swing, which is perfect for their little butts to swing on (though I see them get in my swing when I'm not out there :-)

Here's the description frm CSN Stores:

So me and the kids got new swings thanks to CSN Stores offering me the chance to review anything from their 200+ stores.

I couldn't be happier with my choices- my family will be swinging in style all summer long.

Thanks CSN Stores.

And if you're looking for summer fun products CSN has everything from swings to patio furniture to grills to firepits.

They even have rainsavers and compost bins for greenies like me (which I wanted to buy but choose the swings instead- much more useful for everyone in my family)

A Little Cabin Fever Relief Thanks to CSN Stores

Two things I am considering buying from CSN for the kids' swingset

I don't know about everyone else but I am suffering from cabin fever.

The cold weather has me all bundled up and ready to hibernate- but since I'm not a bear I can't. I also don't want to go outside. I'm not a fan of cold weather. I'm definitely not a fan of bundling up like a Sherpa just to go to the store.

So I stay inside and dream of warmer days.

I've started to plan my garden. I am deciding what vegetables to plant this year and see what seeds I have to buy. I am working on some landscaping designs- thinking of adding a few bushes or small trees.

I also want more outdoor living space. I would love a deck or patio out back with a nice fire pit and comfy outdoor furniture.

That has lead me to online shopping- or right now browsing.

CSN Stores has an amazing amount of outdoor stuff making me wish spring was closer and my pocketbook was fuller.

They have everything from sheds to greenhouses to kids playhouses. They also have fire pits, and patio furniture.

CSN even has outdoor toys, slip and slides, trampolines and swing sets for kids.

CSN also has swing set accessories. My kids need new swings so I'm adding those to my wishlist for sure.

Even if I can't enjoy spring yet at least I can fantasize about what I'd like to do to my outdoor space once it gets here- thanks in part to my wishlist shopping at CSN Stores.

What would you love to add to your yard or garden once spring gets here? A new bench? Maybe a porch swing? I wish I had a porch big enough for a swing :-)

Whatever you're wishing for check out CSNStores.com, I bet you can find what you're dreaming about thanks to their 200+ stores to choose from.

Christmas Shopping at CSN Stores

It's almost Halloween- just a little over a week away.

You know what happens after Halloween right?

Time seems to speed up... until suddenly... before you know it... it's Christmas.

At least that's what always seems to happen with me.

No matter how early I start shopping the holidays sneak up on me and I am always in a mad dash to get those last presents before Christmas Eve.

This year I am trying to be organized.

CSN Stores is helping. With over 200 stores to shop at they have a little bit of everything...including upholstered headboards.

I've been staring at my boring bedroom for months now trying to decide what to do with it. I know it needs a fresh coat of paint. I think I could also use a headboard.

I don't know if I actually want an upholstered headboard or not. I kinda like this tufted leather one (pictured above) but I think it's a little too masculine for what I want to do with my bedroom. It's always an option though.

I know I see several other items that are going on my bedroom makeover wish list even if I am supposed to be Christmas shopping right now (you can see how easily I am distracted, it's no wonder the holidays sneak up on me:-).

Have you seen any wonderful things you'd like to get at one or several of the CSN Stores?

Well you might want to start looking because I am going to be posting a CSN Stores Christmas shopping giveaway soon.

So be sure to stay up to date on the site so you know when the contest goes live.

Shopping with CSN Stores

When I was offered the opportunity to review for CSN Stores I was so excited to get the chance I couldn't wait to find something to purchase then once I started looking for searching I became overwhelmed and it took me awhile to decide.

I mean- Wow- CSN Stores has over 200+ stores to choose from.

Bedding, bookcases, lighting, toys, almost anything and everything you could possibly want.

Searching through the stores I finally decided on this Green Gourmet 12 inch non-stick skillet made by Cuisinart.

I have a 10 inch and absolutely love it. My husband is always going on and on about how he wishes we had more of these Green Gourmet pans so when I discovered CSN offered them for sale I grabbed it.

The Green Gourmet pans are made with a non-stick coating that is environmentally friendly no dangerous Teflon or other chemicals.

Here's the official pan description:

Cuisinart® is leading the way in eco-friendly branded cookware with the new GreenGourmet™ line.

Exclusive Cuisinart Ceramica™ nonstick technology is ceramic based instead of petroleum based, helping to conserve existing oil supplies and the coating is applied at a temperature one half that of conventional nonsticks. And it’s completely free of PTFE and PFOA. Ceramica ™ coating and aluminum encapsulated base construction provide this skillet with high thermal efficiency, which saves energy. Riveted stainless handles stay cool on the stovetop and are made from 70% recycled stainless steel. Today, more and more home cooks are going green… and so is Cuisinart® cookware!

I couldn't be happier with my choice- this pan is awesome.

I also picked a Sandisk memory stick so I can use my Sony digital camera. I hate that Sony can't just make a camera that uses a regular sd card no they have to make cameras that require memory sticks. Well I finally got one so I can use the Sony- or my husband can. That's the camera her prefers.

So technically I just bought two items for the hubby. Oh well if it makes him happy it makes me happy.

And CSN has definitely made me happy. I see so much that I am adding to my Christmas list for myself, the hubby and the kids.

How could I not with so much to choose from?
