Glass Fruit Infuser Water Bottle



You may or not be able to tell but our family is really into infused water, tea, and lemonade. We like to try new concoctions depending on what is in season. Our favorite right now is putting in a tea bag, adding a cinnamon stick, and some apple slices. Yummy!

I really like this glass fruit infuser. I don't see glass infuser very often. It has a nice silicone cover to help protect it from dings, a top that opens to drink out of, and a infuser insert that fits into the top. Easy to use, clean, and enjoy.

You can find this Fruit Infuser Water Bottle on Amazon.

Bringing light to the situation



We live in a old house and it always seems like it is dark, we don't have lights in our closets so we put tap lights in them so we can see to pick out our clothes. This tap light is super bright and works great. You will need 3 AAA batteries which are not included to run it and just a little swipe of your hand and it comes on or goes off.

I was very surprised by how bright this was, much brighter than other tap lights we have had in the past. We are very happy with them. Easy to use just slide the back open, click in batteries, slide back on and stick where you need it. This light does come with two large sticky pieces that are on the back and hold it securely to the wall or ceiling.

You can find this light on Amazon.

Turn your Large Dog into a Lion




When thinking about costumes we don't always think of dressing our pets up but from time to time we do this because well, they so darn cute. We have a Saint Bernard and we have dressed her in pajamas, prom dresses with tiaras, reindeer antlers, santa hats, etc, but never a lion's mane.

Even though this doesn't really go with my Saint Bernards coat she was still a good sport in posing for a picture before giving me the sad eyes that she was not up to dressing up on that particular day. This lion's mane comes with a elastic band type material inside to help hold the mane in place on your dog's head.

You can find the Lion Mane Wig on Amazon.

-Fits necks 13"-32" (Think Beagle/Cattle Dog to Great Pyrenees/Mastiff)
-Premium quality materials used to turn that WOOF into a ROAR!

How to make Cold Brew Coffee


Cold Brew Coffee is not like Iced Coffee because it is not made from a hot liquid but rather by cold water that is steeped with coffee for 12 hours and then enjoyed cold.

We found that for a 20oz bottle like this one from Cornucopia Brands that 1/3 cup of coarsely ground coffee works best. For this bottle you unscrew the bottom of the bottle, take the screen off and fill with coffee, then attach screen and screw back on. Then you are going to fill the bottle from the top opening with cold water.

Let sit at room temperature for 12 hours or overnight for best results. In the morning add whatever you would like for flavoring and you are ready to enjoy Cold Brew Coffee. Even though this does take longer you have a drink that is not diluted by ice cubes, and has a low acidity count. I think you will really enjoy this beverage.

This is the first and only item I have seen that makes a single serving of cold brew coffee, most recipes and products I have seen make enough to be a concentrate, kept in the fridge and then the concentrate is mixed with plain cold water for drinks to enjoy for several days or weeks depending on how often you enjoy coffee.

This also comes with a nice cozy to keep the glass a little safer from breaking which is a real nice extra if you ask me.


You can find the 20oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker on Amazon.

Organizing your stroller




As a mom and child care giver I have pushed many strollers over the years. Before they made stroller bags we were hanging our diaper bag from the back of the stroller, and storing lots of other things under the stroller in the storage area.

Our second stroller had a little pocket on the back where you could store a diaper and wipes, maybe your keys but not much more, then came the jogging strollers and travel strollers that had a place for a drink for the care giver, but we still found we needed more space for stuff.

I haven't seen an umbrella stroller with a spot for anything which is the main reason we never went for one.

With this stroller organization bag you can put it onto a stroller that already has a built in organizer or strap it to one of those umbrella strollers. Just make sure that whatever you are toting around isn't going to tip your stroller over.

I love that this is so versatile, from stroller, to being able to pop it off and use it kind of like a mini diaper bag if need be. There is also a front pouch that zips off so you can keep your money, keys, etc, in here and if you walk away from your stroller you can just grab this and your baby to do what ever you need to while away from the stroller without looking over your shoulder every few seconds to make sure no one is taking anything.


This has a large space with two velcro dividers, two side mess bags, a rounded pocket in the front for a bottle or drink for caregiver, as well as the zip off pouch. The two large straps can be attached to a regular, jogging, or umbrella stroller as well as being taken off and and attached to each other to make a tote bag for impromptu diaper changes. It also has a small flat pocket in the bake where you can store your cell phone.

You can find this stroller bag on Amazon.

The light weight universal stroller organizer by Busfro Brand (pronounced "Boosfro") keeps your essential items within an arm's reach.

The pouch in the front of the stroller organizer can easily be removed and reattached using the convenient zipper. This allows you to take a stylish black wristlet with you wherever you go. Need to take the entire stroller organizer with you? Simply connect the velcro straps together and it quickly converts to a tote bag.
