Gearing up for school

It is almost school time here for my children and I want to make sure their tech devices are always charged and ready to go. I try to get them to tech now when ever possible and they are pretty good with it, but when winter rolls in and there is nothing to do but shovel or be inside they tend to get a little more attached to their tech items when we aren't doing something together as a family.

This cord will have your children's tech items charged and ready to go. If your children have cell phones then you might want to make sure they are powered up in case of emergency so you can get a hold of them or they can get a hold of you.

If you have a AC wall adapter with a USB port you can charge your products even quicker. This lighting cord does not come with one but they are somewhat easy to find for a low price. I know my children have a habit of losing their cords or they break and we need to replace them quite often. Gnome Workshop helps me save money but keeping their prices low so I can keep our devices running.

You can purchase the Gnome Workshop lighting to USB cable on Amazon.

Don't forget to protect your eyes

My 18 year old daughter loves to wear sunglasses but has a hard time finding a pair that fit over her glasses so when these came in she was super excited because she can wear both her glasses and sunglasses at the same time.

No I don't do contacts, if my children want them they have to work and pay for their own just like I had to. Our insurance doesn't pay for them so glasses are her only choice until she can pay for them on her own.

She loves the color, we ordered the Orange pair, she also likes that they are mirrored so no one can see her glasses behind them. She likes that they fold well, they aren't too hard to fold and aren't so wobbly that they won't hold on to a shirt or bag when not worn.

Perfect for summer, weekends, beach, sun, and fun.

You can purchase Sunraze sunglasses on Amazon.

Watching the Birds Eat

Watching birds is something we really enjoy and do most everyday since we live out in the country. This Birdfeeder is really great because you can watch birds eating right at your window. If you homeschool this is a great way to learn about different kinds of birds. Even if you don't homeschool this is a great way for children to learn about birds, even as adults you can learn about birds.

What I found amazing was that this bird feeder has a money back guarantee, a warranty and is easy to put together and take care of.

Metal hangers do exist

To be honest I didn't think they made metal hangers anymore but was glad to see they still do. They don't break like plastic hangers, they can be bent a bit or creased so that they will hold thin strap shirts on so they don't fall off.

Metal hangers also work well for getting doors open that your children lock themselves in with. Like bathrooms. They don't work in all locks but they do work in most interior doors so you can rescue your children from time to time.

I also like that they take up less room then plastic hangers. I still have tons of plastic hangers but as they break and are sent to either the recycle center or the dump. I will be replacing with metal hangers now that I know they are still being made.

You can purchase BriaUSA standard hangers on Amazon.

No more broken hangers

As a mom I am always doing laundry, washing, folding, hanging, putting away, then repeating over and over again. it just goes on and on. Hanging clothes on plastic hangers is nice but plastic hangers break while metal hangers like the BriaUSA children's hangers are not only child size but I don't have to replace them as often which means I save more money, which means more money that can go towards things the kids need.

You can purchase the BriaUSA children's hangers on Amazon.
