French's tomato ketchup with no high fructose corn syrup

I am super excited about companies like French's stepping up and making their customers happy. We have always enjoyed French's products but now we have a new reason to love their products like this one French's tomato ketchup. This ketchup has no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, is non GMO, and the best part there is no High Fructose Corn Syrup.

This makes me one happy mama and my family give it thumbs up for taste. We all agreed it taste more like tomato and less like a sweetened tomato. This is great for baking and using in recipes. You would be surprised by what you can add ketchup too. For us ketchup is mainly used as a condiment on hot dogs, french fries, burgers, and meatloaf.

What do you use ketchup on or in?

Binval Photo Clip String Lights

So excited to hang these up. For the Holiday we will hang our cards on them, then after the holidays we will use them for pictures, art work, etc. These remind me of one of my favorite shows where they use something like this to communicate with each other.

Easy to use just add 3 AA batteries per set this one comes with two sets with 15 clips on each string. It has a timer and several modes. I like the combination the best for the Holidays. Now to get some nails so we can hang these right. We have just moved in so not everything is here nor will it fit but I have certainly not seen any of my husbands tools so will have to pick up some small nails as tacks will not go into our walls without hammering them in.

I have really sparse eyelashes that are really short and light in color. I was looking for an answer to now wearing glue to put on false lashes. For me these did not work well because of the short lashes it just looked like I had eyelashes on half of my eyes. 

When my daughter tried these that made her eyes look more awesome then they already were. She was blessed with long thick lashes that even these lashes made look more dramatic. She was totally in love. 

For starters make sure you have a good mirror and tweezers. It takes a while to get the hand of but once you do they will go on more quickly. I love the compact to store them in between use, a great must have to keep track of them.

I love not having to buy glue for her anymore. As for me I am hoping that these companies making the 3D magnetic lashes make wider lashes soon for people like me who need help big time. For now I will be back to using lengthening mascara. 

For those who have lashes but want a more dramatic look the Websun 3D magnetic lashes can be found at my affiliate link below.

Organizing small objects

We recently moved and with that comes a new way of storing and organizing things around your home. That goes even for the smallest items like jewelry, beads, small toys, etc. With a storage box like this one from Lasten they have you covered with 36 adjustable sections you can leave it as it or remove the partitions to make larger spots for larger items. 

Every time we bring home a new organizing item we think we have planned what goes inside by many time the kids will find just as many uses for it as we had already thought up. This one is going to be used for my daughters necklaces. 

This organization box from Lasten can be found at my affiliate link below.

Keep Warm

With growing girls we are always trying to find clothes that will grow with them. One of our favorite items are leggings. They are forgiving and can often be worn when they are a little bigger and then later when they fit just right and if you are frugal you can even make them into shorts when they become too short. 

These leggings from S.G Style really surprised me. They are sized at s/m in womens but they fit my 10 year old with room to grow and they also fit my 14 year old who is much taller perfectly. I love how they have a lining that gives extra warmth during the cold months. Great for wearing with your favorite sweater, or shirts, and just as well for exercises like running. 

These pants are 92% Nylon and 8% Spandex Fleece. My girls both say they are very comfortable. The S.G Style leggings are available at my affiliate link below.

Ask Bongo

I am currently trying out a new app that is available for both ios and google. Learning the ropes of a new app can either be easy or hard, so far this one has just had me send a text message out to who knows where. I can't see the things that it has on the picture shown on the download page so I am bit confused. The one text I did send asked for a price per question or a discount for a set of questions. 

I even restarted my phone and there are no functions for pictures or stickers, etc. I am supposed to write a four hundred word review on a app that is not even working correctly and wants way to much money to just send a simple text out to somewhere. 

At the very least I am upset but will check back every few days to see if they update their app. When things change I will be back to update everyone. This has to be the first time I have been asked to review something that is not working well, and that is not even showing the things that are on their main page which leads me to believe they may have jumped the gun on having reviewers like me check it out to report back to our own family, friends, and readers. 

As of right now I would say stay away till all the bugs are worked out and it is up and working as pictured on their download page. I am very disappointed to report that this is not what I expected at all from a company who claims to have come up with a great app. 

I would also like to state I am a free app kind of person. I don't pay for apps, and free apps I download I have never as of yet ever paid for an in app upgrade just because I am not willing to put out money on a product that will be outdated by another app sooner or later. 

You can find out more about why this was developed through Caroline Thompson. It is a very vague write up by what I can't call anything else but a flop at this time. I apologize to my readers for this but when you review items not everything is perfect or great and sadly this is one of those times when things just did not work out as planned.

Keep your Wii controllers ready to go

My husband has always been a gamer even though he took off years while we were raising our children, we kept up with most of the new systems out there. Once he fell at his job and was recovering before we found out he would be disabled he got into gaming again to pass the time. 

We like to have items that are rechargeable so that we are not throwing away tons of batteries as they aren't good for the earth so recharging packs like these from Sminiker are just the answer. This set is charged through USB which is the only thing I would change as I like things that charge by regular cord but with an adapter which we already had I have the best of both worlds. 

This set comes with 4 battery packs and a charger that can charge up to 4 remotes at the same time. Wii remote not included. Easy to set up and use and will keep you playing for hours on end. The Sminiker charger for Wii can be found at my affiliate link below.

Glass Painting Ideas

When our family thinks of Holidays we also think of arts and crafts we can do each year. This year we want to dabble a bit into glass painting which we can all do. I want to do clear glass ornaments, Glass Picture Frames, and cups this year. Keep a look out for that blog in the next few weeks. 

With Glass Paints like this one form iMustech you can really go all out. One tip is to make sure you wait the whole 7 days for your glass art to be at it's best color fastness. There are so many ideas running through my head that I have the next few weeks to trickle them down to what we are going to do. Making crafts and creating things with my family is one of my favorite activities.

Love My Paddle Brushes

As soon as I could buy my very own brush I ditched the nylon brushes my mother used for boayears on my hair for boars bristle or Paddle Brushes. Paddle Brushes are my favorite by far and this one from BeautyFrizz is awesome because it is eco friendly with a wood handle which means when it someday breaks down it won't take as long to break down in the earth.

I love Paddle brushes for the fact that they go through my tangles easily and always leave my hair at it's best. I don't get my hair trimmed or styled very often but when I do I almost always told that my hair is really healthy for going so long without a haircut. My haircuts are usually a year or more apart.

This is also a great brush for blow outs, and for distributing your natural oils through your hair to keep it healthy longer. This brush from BeautyFrizz is available at my affiliate link below.

Musical Hovering Soccer Ball

One thing our family likes to do is to play soccer. Now with the new hovering soccer balls like this one from TheSimple we can play inside all year round. This one has lights with sound and works on 4 AA batteries which are included. Great for gift giving.

I love how this hovers and moves so smoothly while playing with it. If it hits furniture it will not damage anything. Even our kittens will bat this back and forth to each other. Great for family inside fun on rainy or snow days. Think cabin fever.

There is a downside you can not choose to turn off the music if you choose it all runs on the same switch as the lights and fan. My girls play with this quite often. I even get in on the fun from time to time. TheSimple Hovering Musical Soccer ball can be found at my affiliate link below.
