Chopsticks for everyone

Our family really enjoys eating Asian foods. With that comes wanting to eat with chopsticks. I learned many years ago at my friend Ming'g house, and have taught my children how to use them over the years. Each of us having our very own set of chopsticks is a fun addition to an asian meal. We had a set of bamboo chopsticks but they wore out over time.

With these titanium chopsticks I don't see them wearing out any time soon, and I love that they come with their own case so they can be stored away between uses. What I think would make these even better is if there were different color pouches so that everyone could tell their chopsticks apart.

You can find the Titanium Chopsticks on Amazon.

Silicone Baking Mat Video Review

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.

Double Wall Charger

One thing we never seem to have enough of mainly because I am still waiting for my husband to build a charging station for everyone's electronics. I have the design in my head just can't physically build it. So here we are with cord and plugs in every room but no one can find theirs.

The first one that disappears is mine even though I  only charge mine in the car or by my computer but mine goes missing. Yes we know it is one of the kids who takes it but you wouldn't know because they can never find mine or theirs. I think it is like the socks twin going missing they never are to be found again.

I really like this iClever charger because it plugs into the wall and can charge two devices at one time. Now I can charge my iPad and my daughters iPad all at the same time. Saves a little insanity from trying to find a wall charger, at least until this one disappears.  I love that this also comes with a cord to charge with which makes it that much more easy to charge our devices when the cords are missing.

You can find the iClever charger on Amazon.

Grinding you Beans

Some people like to grind their own beans be it by manual method or with an electric grinder. We don't have an electric grinder but we do have a few manual grinders. My husband love the simplicity of having already ground coffee but he enjoys the taste of fresh ground coffee even more.

This coffee grinder is both easy to put together and use which is a plus when someone who loves coffee needs a cup quick.

Yes it will take a while to grind your beans but the taste will be worth it. At least that is what my husband says. I am more of a tea and cocoa drinker myself.



You can find this grinder on Amazon.

A Light to Lead the Way

This is a great item to have with the coming cold months ahead. During power outages it is nice to have candles but with children around a light lantern is a safer option. 

I love that this has so many uses from just a regular light to see by to a flashing light, SOS light, red light, and red flashing. 

Great for camping, fishing, emergencies, power outages, or just for fun for the kids to use at night. Works on 3 D batteries not included. This can be sat on a surface or hung if needed. 

This is also waterproof which is nice for those who are fishing, in a boat, or heaven forbid in a flood. Easy to use with several settings depending on your needs.
