Portable Art Easel

What a wonderful to instill the love of art in your children or another adult. This easel is portable, had a drawer to hold your tools, and has a nice handle to carry it around with.

My daughter fell in love with this when it came in so I guess this will be hers. My husband loves the way that the easel can be positioned at different heights for your comfort, the drawer is really nice . The drawer even has a lock so that it won't come open while you are carrying the easel around.

Great product made from wood that will be a great piece for many years in your little or big artists life. Wonderful gift idea.

The new toy in town

Looking for a new toy for your family this year? Some think of it as a game, while others a toy. Great for hand eye coordination, while expanding the mind. Even adults will find this irresistible to put down because you want to be able to do all four sides. Kind of like a rubics cube meets the ball and cup game.

Great for birthdays, gifts, stocking stuffers, something for those who have everything. Go head give it a try, you will be hooked to or least find yourself coming back to it again and again to see if you can do better.

Simple enough for a child but nice enough on the eyes to keep out instead of stashing away in the toy box. Leave it on the coffee table sure to be a talk piece.

Doggy Baths made easy

 I have heard of dry shampoo for humans but until now I hadn't heard of a dry shampoo for dogs. Even though our Saint Bernard tolerates baths, in the winter we don't want to give her one because I don't want her to get sick while she is shaking off outside and then tracking in icicles in on her fur to dry off after.

With this Dry Dog Shampoo from Paw Choice we really do have another choice and a great way to keep her clean during the long winter months without worry about her getting sick from going out after her bath to shake off.

Made in the USA with Mango, Pomegranate, and Coconut for a clean coat anytime of year. Great for dogs who don't like to get wet or take baths as well.

Keep those shoes smelling fresh

With school starting up that means sports almost everyday for next few months with a few weeks off between the next sport here in our home. So that means lots of stinky gym and sports sneakers, not to mention my husband's own stinky shoes. 

I never understood stinky feet or shoes, I think because mine have never smelled before, but I guess not everyone is as lucky as I am to have stink free feet, and apparently my children didn't get the non stink gene from me either. 

We have tried crumpled up newspaper, washing the sneakers, socks, feet, etc but nothing seems to work long term. Now we use sneaker odor eliminator sprays and things have started smelling a lot better around here. Just a spritz or two depending on shoe size after use is all it takes. I also encourage my children to not wear the same shoes everyday, which is hard when you are playing sports because you need those shoes almost everyday. We just make sure to spray them after use and leave them where they can air dry overnight so they are ready to go the next day. 

Works well and sure saves me from looking around the house to find out where the stink is coming from to just find out they are just shoes causing the problem.
