Keeps your water cool all day long

Water bottles are a big thing in our family, they are used for road trips, hiking, biking, sports, and when ever we know we will be waiting somewhere for a while, as in picking up the kids from their extracurricular activities. 

With that being said I want to make sure my families water stays cool all day long. Believe me finding a water bottle that can accomplish this is harder then you woud think. 

Futurepace Tech is one of the few bottles that we own that can live up to the claim of keeping your beverage cool. 

Think a hot car thats gets over a 100 degrees in the summer and when you get in after a day at the mall your drink is still cool and refreshing. That is my kind of bottle. 

I do wish that they had made a bigger opening so I could put ice inside as well, but the bottle still works without ice so it passes the test. I haven't put it to the test of keeping hot liquids hot but winter is coming which means hot cocoa season so it won't be long till I can give it the full test.

Fun for all ages

Chalk Markers are nice to have, no more chalk dust, but they can be a bit pricey. Beary Genius says that this 10 pack is Professional Quality. Not sure what makes someone a professional chalk drawer but hey it is what it says.

All I know is that they are easy to get started just press the tip in, shake , and then push onto a piece of papers, or chalk board until you see color then you are ready to draw or write.



Fun for home, the office, or school. Think Teacher gift. Can be used on glass, chalk boards, wipe off boards and other surfaces, just test in a small area to make sure it will come off just in case. My children love to draw on their windows or the front door with these for the Holidays. Once the Holiday is over just a few swipes and they can start drawing for the next Holiday.

You can purchase Beary Genius 10 pack Chalk Markers on Amazon.

No more swimmers ear

My husband has always had problems with his ears, from excess wax causing problems to having water seeping in and causing havoc so Ear Plugs are something he really needs to use when he is in the water.

I love that they have more than one color to choose from so  if you have more then one family member with ear problems they can each have their own color.

Even if you don't have problems with your ears you might find that depending on the job you have you will need to have ear plugs in order to protect your hearing from loud sounds. Some people will even use earplugs while they are sleeping to drown out sounds. As a mother this is not an option because you want to be able to always hear your children in case of emergency.

Easy to use, love that they are reuseable.


You can watch my husband giving a demo on how to use them.


You can purchase Stops Ear Plugs here or on Amazon.

No surprises. Easy to use, makes great tasting coffee, and once you have have French Press I think you will agree it is one of the best ways to have coffee.

- Sturdy plastic lid, frame and handle 
- Clean-up is a snap - you can quickly rinse the filter clean or easily disassemble it to go in the dishwasher

How much is a cup?

In coffee lingo, a "cup" is often just 4 ounces. Other brands may mislead you with "8-cup" capacity claims without explaining that means just 4 ounces per cup. Our French press delivers 32 ounces of smooth, delicious coffee (the carafe can hold 34 ounces, but the filter and coffee grounds take up some room). So, how much is a cup? It depends on the size of your mug!
