Bamboo Cutting Boards

I grew up with wooden cutting boards but I have to say I really like the bamboo cutting boards the best, they don't warp, they look fantastic in my kitchen or when they are used for entertaining, and they clean up in a snap.

Although I don't use my bamboo cutting boards for meat, that is reserved for my glass cutting boards only. I do like that the Pratico Goods cutting board has a recessed area to catch juices from fruit which makes cleaning up my counters a snap too.

We are a big family so I really enjoy the larger cutting boards like this but still have enough room in my life for smaller cutting boards as well. This cutting board comes in two sizes, mine is the larger size. At 18 x 12 x 3/4 in I find this the perfect size.

You can find this cutting board and the smaller cutting board from the same company on Amazon.

Uses for Silicone Baking mats.

Silicone mats are used quite often in our home first off to protect our pans, while keeping clean up to a minimum. I have several sheets so that I can take a batch of cookies out just by pulling the whole mat off and putting on another one full of cookies, Great way to cool your cookies while still having the next batch inside the oven. I have about 6 -8 pans ready at any given time during full blown baking season which starts right after the 13th of December which is the last Birthday in our home until close to Christmas. I like the last few days to be all about the Holiday dinner and being able to enjoy our guests.

Silicone baking sheets are non-stick, can be used on pans, or for when we make pies we just put a silicone baking sheet right on the racks to protect our oven from spills. Also great for use on the table  for when you are rolling out dough, making biscuits, or cutting out cookie shapes. So many uses for one item.

If you have any great ideas for baking mats please share them below.

No more yapping

There are plenty of training collars out there but if the only problem you have is a yappy dog, then you might be interested in Bark Control Collar. DogControlPro makes a pretty good one that you might want to try.

Unlike others this one is waterproof, has a long battery life between 6-18 months depending on use, and has an on and off switch. Easy to use but not recommended for small dogs.  Has different size nubs depending on your dogs hair length and size. Has 3 different levels of control so you can choose the that will work best for your pet. I suggest starting off on the lowest and working your way up to find the right setting.

You can find the DogControlPro Bark Control Collar on Amazon.

What DogControlPro has to say about their product.

Digital Microprocessor Automatic Bark Training Collar

This is one of the only automatic bark collars on the market that is run by a digital microchip system instead of a mechanical sensor. This means no false corrections that plague other automatic collars and will only correct when the dog wearing the collar is barking.

This collar solves the 3 most often complained about problems with automatic collars.
1) It is waterproof so can be worn while swimming or in heavy rain
2) It has an on/off switch to conserve battery life
3) It comes with a lithium ion battery INCLUDED that will last between 6-18 months instead of 3 days-3 weeks

This collar is made of high quality materials instead of cheap plastic components and the difference is even noticeable to the touch.

The collar strap is adjustable for almost all size dogs and there are 3 different levels of correction for dogs that range from "timid" to "stubborn"

Spray Facial Toner

Love this toner because it comes in a spray bottle which means I don't have to get out the cotton balls and wipe, I can just spray on my face and bing, bang, done. Love that it is natural, and doesn't sting my skin. Some toners are on the strong side and will irritate my skin.

This will last quite a bit of time as well, also great to refresh your face throughout the day. Make sure to use sunscreen as Glycolic Acid increases sun sensitivity.

You can purchase here or on Amazon.

Doopoo Iphone 6 Earphones

Even though these are slotted to be used with iPhone 6, they work just fine with the iPad mini, and iPod touch, so if you have any of those these work fine, matter of fact my husband took these to be able to listen to his movies while I am sleeping at night.

He did let me try them out before he took them though. The sound is amazing and even got me dancing a little. I had them hooked up to my iPad mini.

Comes with different size buds to be able to find the correct size for your ears.
