Phytopia



Recently I was able to try out two product from Phytopia. Each product is sold separately. Both products come with a nice velvet pouch and silver tie to store the product in between uses.

The first is Tranquility which is an essential oil that you can rub and or massage into your neck and shoulder area to relax your body. I really like this one and it is my favorite.

The second product is the Stretch Mark remover which is great for anyone who has given birth, lost weight, or put on weight. Great for the belly, arm, and thigh areas. Easily soaks into skin.

What I love most is that these products don't have a lot of chemicals that will soak in and cause my body harm. These are great for both the home and therapedic setting.


Both Phytopia's products can be found on Amazon.

Organic Stuffed Date






I have enjoyed dates for years. I usually like the more moist dates stuffed with cream cheese, so I thought I would give these a try.

These are more of a dry date stuffed with nuts and different kinds of dried fruit. They were delicious. My whole family enjoyed them.

These are packaged well for gift giving, or just for a a little extra treat.

Change your baby in comfort




Boy do I wish they had something like this when my older children were babies, this would have made things a bit easier then having to rummage around in the bag for items forgotten to change a dirty diaper. Everything from wipes, ointments, change of clothes, and diapers can be stored in this bag.

I love the wrist strap as well as the handle to carry this with. It has one outside zipper, one inside zipper, a mess pocket as well as a stretchable spot for storing wipes. What is really nice is that the bottom part of the pad can be unzipped and thrown in the washing machine, we usually do that with our towels and then hung to dry.

Great baby shower item.

"Favorite Child"


I have to be totally honest I have a favorite child. Each of my 6 children all hold a special place in my heart, and all are my favorite for different reasons. I thought this mug would be great for whenever any of them were visiting.

I also think it would be a nice gift to give each of your children to open up at the same time. The looks on their faces would be priceless and even more priceless when they figure out they all have the same one.

Got Me Tipsy has a few different saying mugs available and each have their place with someone. Great gift ideas.

I thought the writing would be white but instead it is more of a pink color but still very nice.


You can find this mug and others on Amazon.


13 Oz. Glass Coffee Mug with a funny saying. Makes a great gift for mom or dad. A high quality mug for those who are in need of a nice new coffee or tea cup!

AleHorn Tankard as seen on Game Of Thrones


Our family is new to watching Game Of Thrones but we are not new to finding neat and unique items to add to our home. We all tend to have the same things but acquiring unique items that not everyone can have exactly the same is a nice addition around our home. 

These Ale Horn Tankards are made from ethically sourced Cow Horn, which means cows are not slaughtered just to get the horn. This is an all natural item and can be used for cold drinks. Since all Cow Horns grow differently with different waves of color and texture it would be almost impossible to have two of the same cups so this is a really nice item to have if you are a collector of Ale Tankards, or even if you want to have one of your very own to enjoy your cold drinks out while watching the latest episode of Game Of Thrones. Sure to be a talk piece when you have friends over.




You can find Ale Horn Tankards like this on AleHorn.

These drinking horns are perfect for enjoying your favorite ale or other beverage.  Each horn tankard is hand made from 100% ethically sourced cow horn.  As unique as the horn itself, there will be no other drinking horn in the world like yours.

  • approx 5″ tall and holds 12+ oz.
    Made from 100% natural horn
    Formed horn handle
    Sealed and suitable for cool liquids
    Actual horn pattern may vary from the unit pictured
    Please rinse your horn before use. Avoid the dishwasher, extreme temperatures and hot liquids.

Maker Studio: Gears Set





As a mother I love toys that help my children use their imagination to keep themselves occupied. I have been blessed with children with great big imaginations that like to build forts, play with boxes, blocks, ride bikes, and explore nature.

Even if you don't have children who like to do these things you can encourage them by providing lots of paper, crayons, markers, boxes, and other sorts of recyclable materials so that on the those days where they can't find anything else to do you can give them this box filled with all sorts of craft items and really let their minds grow.


With Maker Studio Gears Set you can take it one step further by helping them make their creations move. This might keep them busy for years once they start playing around with the pieces you saved for them on top of the Maker Studio Gears Set.

You can purchase The Maker Studio Gears here or on Amazon.

What Think Fun has to say about their product.
Designed by Engineers for Budding Engineers
Maker Studio™ inspires imagination and a love for engineering. In this set featuring gears, you’ll be able to build a racecar, a cable car, a 3-wheeler and a motorcycle. For each build you’re given Engineering Challenges – experiment with friction, torque and propulsion as you engineer your solutions. Once you’ve mastered all four builds, get creative and design something that’s all your own!
