Artisan Cooking Supply Silicone Baking Mat





What I love about Silicone Baking Mats is that they can be used for more then baking, think rolling out pie crust, cutting cookies, biscuits, kneading bread, and of course for the kids playing with playdough, as well as other crafting endeavors.

Easy to use, wash, and store. Protects your surfaces, makes cleaning up baking pans a cinch. This on is my daughter's favorite because of the hearts, although my oldest daughter loved this one for the color. As for me it is just another great silicone baking mat that I love to use to make things a bit easier here for me in the home.

You can find the Artisan Cooking Supply Baking Mat on Amazon.

Adult Coloring Books




I have always loved to color, although I don't color nearly as well as my husband (he is so creative), I have yearned for a more intricate coloring book and this was just perfect for both myself, my older daughter, and husband.

We just copy these so that we can use permanent marker without worrying about it bleeding through to the other pages. Great for teens and children who have moved beyond regular coloring books and are ready for something a bit more.

You can find the Amazin Birds Adult Coloring Book on Amazon.


A collection of more than 30 birds from all over the world brings nature into your home and imagination, and nourish your soul with beautiful and magical creatures.
An additional interesting fact about each bird will allow you to expand your knowledge of birds while relaxing and enjoying coloring pictures.
You may know the bird, or you may not, in any case you can to use your own colors and coloring techniques and create beautiful expression of your imagination.
If you would like to share your colors with other people, you are welcomed to contact us and it will be presented on the author's website with your name and anything that you would like to add.

Stay Hydrated While Running



Running is not my thing but I love to walk on my treadmill, and my girls love to hike, run, bike, etc, so this is perfect for any of those things. Even for walking this is great. Love that it folds up compactly,  comes with two bottles, and has a pocket for storage.

Adjustable just a bit more then others I have seen on the market but still not adjustable enough for someone who is obese to wear so I am still on the look out for the perfect hydration belt for the not so in fit ones out there.

You can find the Project Vigor Hydration belt on Amazon.

Keeping Pets and Children Safe



I love these so much better then regular plug protectors because they are paint-able. My children, grand children, visiting children, or animals won't be messing around with the outlets because they won't be able to find them.

Love this idea and wish they had these years ago. This is also great if you have a outlet that has a 240 outlet so that no one plugs into it mistakenly, saving not only a big jolt but also from products being ruined.

We once rented an apartment and plugged in our TV when we moved in and the outlet blew out TV up, our landlord wouldn't replace our TV and didn't even know there was a 240 outlet in the living room. Long story short, we always check the currant of all of our outlets before plugging in for the first time.




You can find the CoverPlug on Amazon.


Whave CoverPlug has to say about their product.
Sharing your home with your dog involves taking responsibility for the dog's safety around electrical outlets and other potential hazards in the house. Dogs are curious creatures, especially when young or bored, and while an electrical outlet may not seem like an obvious toy of choice -- then again, neither does a remote control -- all it takes is one claw into an outlet to shock or even kill him. You can easily prevent this by thinking ahead and dog-proofing your electrical outlets.

The COVERPLUG™ is a durable, molded, and paint-able plastic panel that plugs right into an electrical socket to cover the entire outlet. This innovative outlet cover is held securely in place by posts on the back that align with the ground openings and require no tools for installation or removal. They are made in the USA and use a specially designed plastic that is easily paint-able to match your wall color.

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.
