Don't forget your lunch bag



Having a nice lunch from home is sometimes what kids need to feel a little extra loved. I know from time to time my girls like to take lunch from home, but most times they are happy with what is available at school, although from their point of view the food is getting worse so who knows in the next few years we might be sending homemade lunches more often if not everyday.

Even if your children eat lunch in school they made need a lunch bag for either a field trip, or even to carry their snack in. My 3rd graders class has two snacks a day so I want to make sure her drinks stay cool, so they are refreshing when she gets to have them.

These are simple bags available in several colors and if you have some fabric paint you can let your child decorate their very own. Instant unique lunch bag (don't forget to snap pictures).

Even though this says children's lunch bag it is roomy enough to be pulled off by an adult as well.

You can purchase the Hydracentials kids insulated lunch bag on Amazon.

Jumbo Ice Cubes




These are pretty big ice cubes, by the way they are perfect if you have a ice shaver in the house for frosty treats like we do. The kids love these bigger ice cubes almost as much as I do. I like to make ice tea, by putting in frozen cubes of ice tea so it doesn't' water down when the ice melts. 

When milk is on sale we even freeze milk ice cubes for smoothies, recipes, or even just to make a cup of milk more chilled. Think frozen coffee cubes for iced coffee or homemade frosted coffee drinks. 

Great for any drink you want to keep cold either by using just plain water or a mixture of flavors like lemonade with watermelon ice cubes. delicious. 




You can purchase the Large Ice cube mold on amazon.

Wonderful Feet & Toes


These are amazing wish I had known about these years ago. These go on easily, they had mentioned using lotion but they go on my size 9 feet just fine without lotion, the same with my husband's size 10 1/2 and my daughters size 14 womens.


They really helped with pain or discomfort I was having and my husband really liked them because it helped spread his toes which he is unable to do without physically spreading his toes with his hands.

Also great for putting on nail polish while your feet are relaxing.

You can purchase LifeEssentials Pain Relief Toe Stretchers on Amazon.

What Lifessentials has to say about their product.
LifEssentials Pain Relief Toe Stretchers for Pain relief (One Pair)

If you're suffering from Bunion, Plantar Fasciitis, Hallux Valgus, Hammertoe, Arch problems, and Achilles tendon, our pain relief toe stretchers are your best choice to stretch and relax your feet.
 

Created to revolutionize how we care for our feet, you simply slip them on and they will do all the work! A vacation for your feet. It's an easy and effective way to condition and strengthen this often overlooked part of the body. 

Our toe stretchers work between, above and beneath the toes to gently spread them apart and away from the balls of your feet - providing the same exercise you get when walking barefoot. 

Being in shoes or high heels all day can really take a toll on your feet. But luckily, LifEssentials toe stretchers work to reverse these effects by making muscles more flexible and resilient. 

We recommend starting slowly, only wearing them for 10-15 minutes a day. Once it begins to feel comfortable, gradually work up to wearing them at least 1 hour per day. 

Made of high quality medical-grade, BPA-free gel. 100% satisfaction guaranteed for your confident purchase.

Making a switch from plastic to stainless steel






These cups are much better in person then pictured. They are super sturdy and can take constant use in our home.

We don't buy glass cups very often kids are never really good with them so plastic has been our go too, but after using these stainless steel cups I am thinking highly of upgrading.

These are great because I don't have to worry about what might be leaching from either glass, or plastic.
