Insulated Lunch Bag


This bag is perfect for a small day out with children or for a man who works long hours at work. It has a nice side expandable rope that can hold a half gallon of drink with no problems or if you are going on a picnic you could put the blanket in this spot. 

This would also be great to bring home three ice cream half gallons from the store during the summer. The main reason we don't buy ice cream far from home during the summer is that we live rural so by the time we get home we would have soup. It just makes it home from the nearest store ready to serve up as it is.

DoggieLawn REAL Grass Potty Box Review




When I first saw this I thought I was going to get a piece of fake grass, but it is real grass. When it was delivered I thought they had delivered chickens because the box had breathing holes in it, but there was no noise and then I noticed the words DoggieLawn on the side and got really excited. 

Once opened it was easy to set up. The girls had to walk through it with their bare feet to try it out. With having snow outside including almost a foot drop to the road from our driveway from built up snow being driven on our children have been deprived of walking or even seeing grass for months now. 

Sadly our Saint Bernard only used this once, I guess she would rather go outside, but then again she might just have needed the size bigger then this to feel comfortable using as well. Oddly enough our male cat loves this and uses it quite often. We pick up the bowel movements and leave the rest.

There has been no odor for our cat using it and as of yet we have not seen the grass degrade. We do keep ours in a corner where it gets air from the front door opening and closing so this might have something to do with it lasting this long.

Either way I think we will try the larger version of this for our Saint before giving up, but I do love that our male cat is using the grass instead of the clean clothes bin. He won't use the cat litter box because he is too big and because of the female cats using it. He does go outside when he is let out but like I said there is lots of snow so he hasn't asked to go out as often.  


You can purchase DoggieLawn here or on Amazon.


What DoggieLawn has to say about their product. 
Our specially formulated, hydroponically grown grass is designed to work perfectly as an indoor dog potty, or outside on your balcony as a fresh potty patch. Our dog grass weighs slightly more than one half as much as standard sod for easy lifting and is "soil-less" which means it contains virtually none of the dirt you find in sod sold in home improvement stores. Try it out and see for yourself how much you and your dog will love having their own convenient fresh patch of grass for bathroom breaks!

This particular item will be best suited for those with dogs under 18lbs! You will receive one, 21" by 24" piece of grass and a reusable tray. Simply place the tray in the designated potty area and slide the grass out onto the tray. Throw away the boxes, and your pup is ready to start using the grass!

This product is also wonderful for cats, rabbits, turtles, hedgehogs etc... Our grass is natural and allows your house-bound pet the luxury of bringing the outdoors inside!

Cool Gel N Cap Warm/Cold Compress


Where was this when my older children were growing up. So much more useful then the booboo bunny which is also very cute but just does not cover as big an area as the Cool Gel N Cap. I wanted to see what size heads this would fit and I am glad to report it fits although a bit big from my youngest grand daughter who is one all the way up to my twelve year old although she would not let me take a picture of her with it on. 

Below you can see a picture of my 7 year old with it on and there was still lots of room left. I like that this is soft, can be used with the cold packs either on the head or held in a different area of the body. I like the strap that keeps the cap on and that you can change where you want the cool packs so that it will be able to rest on the sore spot. 

If you have young children with head or ear aches this is what you need. The paks are freezer and microwave safe so you can always keep one in the freezer and one at room temperature ready to heat up in a moments notice, to help you ease your children's pain. 

Being a mom of 6 children and running a child care for years this would have been a great item to have when we stated out being parents over 24 years ago. No one wants to see their child in pain. We all want to make them better right away. This is a great way to make them feel better while having your arms free for hugs and snuggling while the Cool Gel N Cap does all of the pain relieving. 


You can purchase the Cool Gel N Cap here or on Amazon.


What Cool Gel N Caps has to say about their product.
The Only First Aid Cap For Kids  Naturally soothe your kids age 1+ bumps, bruises, fever symptoms, migraines, headaches, ear infection symptoms, and more in a fun, easy, and effective way with the Cool Gel N Cap.
√  Why buy just ice packs, cold packs, or warm packs when you can have a Cool Gel N Cap?
√  The gel packs that come with your Cool Gel N Cap can be used ANYWHERE it hurts, inside or out of the cap, anywhere on the body.  AND… the non-toxic, latex free gel packs can be used cold AND warm, unlike conventional ice packs or cold packs.  This gives you the benefit of both a cold compress & warm compress for anywhere it hurts AND a cozy cap!
√  The Cool Gel N Cap is more comfortable on the head for your child than a traditional ice pack, cold pack, or especially a bag of frozen vegetables as the fabric is not only designed to be cozy, but also remove the sting of ice packs on the skin while letting the cool and warm therapy still get through.  The first aid cap is also designed to eliminate condensation associated with cold packs and ice packs.
  Reduces swelling and relieves pain from head to toe.
  Works perfectly as a cold compress or warm compress.  Freezer & Microwave safe.
  The gel packs are non toxic, water soluble, & latex free.  Also reusable!
√  Machine washable:  The cozy first aid cap can be washed over and over.
√  The cold compress of the Cool Gel N Cap is great for little ones suffering from Hemophilia, as its cooling gel packs slow the flow of blood to the affected area.
√  The Cool Gel N Cap is also a cozy solution for kids suffering from Dravet Syndrome as it is a comfortable way to keep cool during a fever.

BBQ & Grilling Gloves For High Temperature Cooking





Some of my readers may remember I am not good with hot or sharp objects so good products to use them with is a must.

The last time I tried I had a fire that shot straight up. Luckily nothing caught on fire and no one got hurt.  I really love how these gloves fit not only me but also fit my husbands large hands. The other little extra I like is the the cotton straps to that are inside the gloves to hang them up with when not in use.

Ever since we have had an inside electric grill for safety reasons. With the Grill Master Gloves my husband might just let me grill on an outside grill again.

Now to just talk him into buying an outside grill again.

Martian Dice Review + Giveaway


As most of my readers know our family here in Marksville love to play with games. We don't get to play everyday but we do play a lot. We love to try out new games and this one is brand new game to us and one that took a while to get used to but which was very fun once you get the hang of it.

What I love is that it comes in a canister that holds all of the pieces and directions. Something you could take along to keep the kids busy, not in the car (you don't want to have dice everywhere), but once you get to where you are going this is a nice game to keep the little ones busy for a while.

Our family likes games that are different from other games and this is one that fits the bill.



You can purchase Martian Dice on Amazon.
