Keep your ice fresh


I want to be clear that this is not a tray to make ice but a tray to store your ice cubes or spheres in. Even though this is slotted for larger ice cubes or spheres it does work for regular size ice cubes as well. I am just glad to finally have a place for my spheres and large cubes separate from the rest.

We use the large cubes and spheres for drinks, punches, and of course shaved ice treats for the kids. I love that this container keeps my ice from taking on flavor from other items in the freezer such as chopped onions.

Easy to use, wash, store, and works great at keeping your ice fresh and ready to enjoy.

You can find Practico Goods IceCubby on Amazon.


✔ STORE LARGE ICE SPHERES OR CUBES - Holds up to 4 - 2.5 in ice spheres or 4 - 2.25 in ice cubes - works with ice made from popular brands of ice sphere molds and trays (like the Praticube Ice Tray)

✔ QUICK & EASY ACCESS TO ICE - No need to fumble around with ice cube trays and molds to get to your ice, just grab a sphere or cube from the Cubby when you want it

✔ PREVENT UNWANTED FREEZER ODORS - East to remove cover lid keeps unwanted odors and smells from being asorbed into your large ice spheres and cubes

Perfect for serving Wine




We don't drink wine very often but every now and then we enjoy a glass, of course mine has to be 50/50 wine and grape juice. I keep saying if they make wine taste like grape juice I might drink it more often.

Either way this Decanter really makes the wine look that much more special when you are serving it. Much more beautiful then serving from a wine bottle.

Very lightweight but beautiful.

Mom of 11 Kids



Love the package and the product line. I was able to choose one to try so I went with No Time for Dry Skin because that is where I am at this stage in being both a mother and grandmother. Even though this is more like a gritty bag balm don't let that scare you away because the little gritty pieces melt right into the skin quickly.

A product that is good for both mom and baby, which is made in the USA, and each quarter they partner with a children's charity in which a portion of each sale goes to that charity. That means a lot to me that each purchase helps out a children's charity in need.

You can find No Time for Dry Skin and MomOf11Kids other products on Amazon.

Why a Garden hose splitter?







I never really saw the use for a garden hose splitter until I became disabled. Now I can be in one area while my daughter or husband is in another area so we can get the job done quicker.

Easy to use with valves to shut off or on so you can have more water pressure if you need to on just one hose or share the pressure between two hoses.

Great for quick car washes, washing siding, and even gardening.
