Lunch Box Fun

Even though I don't always have the energy to make breakfast, lunch, or dinner more special there are times I have a few extra minutes to add some fun to meals.

The five piece sandwich cutter is a great way to add some pizazz with out spending too much time doing it. Big bang for the buck so to speak.

Great for those who don't like to eat their crusts, you can can even use these for a children's tea party, pancakes, cookies, etc.

My daughter love the hearts the best. I know my son would have loved the dinosaurs when he was little. A great way to add a little fun to the lunch box.

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.

No Slippy

Most mats give off fumes, or get moldy while this mat made from silicone does not. I love the way it suctions to the tub, and the way the mat feels under my feet.

Some mats hurt your feet because the suction cups are so stiff but this is soft to stand on. The textured surface is also nice for having grip on your feet while showering.

This is a short mat, so I would like to see this mat made longer to fit the whole tub.

This mat is great for children so they don't slip, for the elderly to keep them from having falls, as well as those who are disabled, or anyone really who wants a little extra safety in their bathroom.


This Silicone Bath Mat can be found on Amazon.

Baltic Amber Teething Anklets

These Baltic Amber Teething Anklets from Pretty Baby are beautifully crafted. I do have to say upfront that I like the necklaces better. Our family has a bleeding disorder and anklets like this can cause bleeding and scarring even after a little bit of time left on the ankle. My daughter made me a ankle bracelet from embroidery thread and a few smooth beads and in a short time I had bruising and bleeding under the skin which resulted in a scar around my ankle where it was touching, even though it was loose. 

Now for those without a bleeding or bruising disorder I think these would be perfect. I just wanted to put that out there for other families like our that deal with this issue. These anklets are really well made and you can mix and match with different outfits as well as share them with other mothers of children in the teething stage. 

Always keep a close eye for wear and tear as well as taking it off for any length of time you will be away from baby. Each set comes with the authenticity card.

The Baltic Amber Teething anklets can be found on Amazon.


What Pretty Baby has to say about their product.

To keep your baby from tugging at the jewelry, we suggest putting it on as an anklet, with a sock over it! The jewelry is approximately six inches around and is currently offered in five colors: cognac, lemon, cherry, honey, and mixed.

Baltic amber contains succinic acid, believed to be a natural pain reliever with healing properties. When worn against the skin, it warms with your body temperature and is said to release small amounts of the substance, which soothes and alleviates some of your baby's teething pain and discomfort. In fact, baltic amber is said to be soothing for people of all ages, making it a smart purchase for pain relief in general.

Millions of parents swear by this type of alternative medicine, favorited as a means of healing infinitely safer than other forms of teething relief suggested by traditional medicine, which bear the risk of unwanted side effects.

The benefits of Baltic amber include:
• Reduced discomfort, inflammation, and pain, allowing your baby to eat and sleep more peacefully.
• Reduced drooling and resulting rashes on the face.
• No risk of negative side effects - 100% natural!

Our amber comes from northern Europe and has been tested and confirmed as genuine amber in both Europe and the US. Our amber baby teething bracelet comes in a protective pouch with our Certificate of Authenticity.

For The Safety of your Child
Please do not leave you child unsupervised while wearing the jewelry for any length of time. Additionally, please note the the jewelry is not meant for chewing.

iPad mini 4 keyboard

I was really excited to get this but once it came I quickly found out it was for an iPad mini 4 which is still nice, just don't have one yet I still have the older iPad mini which by the way still works fantastic but I would like to upgrade and put it on my Birthday List wink, wink.

I really like this case it has the 360 turn, as well as a magnetic backed keyboard so that it stays attached to the case and you don't have to worry about it falling. This comes with the charging cord for your keyboard, directions on how to connect your bluetooth and of course the case.

 “Ready" to overcome their fears,

 

 "Set" their goals high and

 

 "Go" out there and be the best they can be. 

 

The bears come dressed with a (red for Brian or pink – for Brianna) superhero mask and cape, and a special dog-tag style pendant that children can remove from the bears and wear. Each kit also comes with a special storybook and an instructional guide, approved by educators, psychologists, parents and caregivers, to provide easy step-by-step suggestions that the child can easily incorporate into their everyday life.

 

“When children are self-confident, they are more willing to try, and through trying, they can achieve success, Testimonials have shown that children who seemed so lost are now feeling so much more confident.. Brian and Brianna help kids regain confidence, and as they learn resilience - their future becomes brighter.”

Spring time is here so out with the old worn bath toys and in with some new fun toys. I gave this to my granddaughter to use during her bathtimes in our house.
