Reusable Produce Bags



 Trying to be more green as a family is something we have been implementing since we were young parents years ago. Some years are better then others, but little changes make for a big changes over time.

Our new green step is to use reusable product bags instead of using the plastic bags at the store. So far so good and many people have asked me where I got them from so here I am letting everyone know.

This set comes with 5 bag which is good but I think we need another set to have enough for our bigger shopping trips.

Plastic bags don't let the fruit breath but these bags make sure that there is air flow to keep the produce from getting condensation built up in the bag.

When they get dirty I just throw them in a laundry bag, which by the way these can be used for as well, wash without fabric softener, then hang to dry.

You can find these produce bags on Amazon.



We produce high-quality, lightweight, washable and reusable produce mesh bags for fruits, vegetables, and whole foods. Other uses include storage, or even laundry.

Toe Socks even my daughter can love




One thing my daughter Dennise likes to wear are toe sock but with having larger feet it is near impossible to find her regular girl socks much less toe socks that fit her large lady feet

Thankfully they are now making toe socks in men's sizes so now she can enjoy wearing toe socks just like when she was little.

She just gets so excited and this time instead of having a whole package with one set of colors she has 5 different colors to choose from although because her smaller sister has bigger feet then she did at the same age and posed for the picture she was able to pick out one pair for herself.

Now I have two girls with huge feet that want toe socks. I  just wish that the people who made ladies socks would make bigger socks all the way around from regular to toe socks. Not every girl has tiny princess feet. Maybe FuzzyGreen will make larger colorful socks for women.

You can find these toe socks in 3 and 5 packs on Amazon.

Packing Tape





My husband does lots of ebay shopping as well as selling, He also organizes all of my review items, as well as our other items that are packed away until needed for use.

Having good packing tape makes the job that much easier when you are trying to streamline what ever you are doing.

My husband loved the tape but he he tossed the dispenser and used his old one from a different company. He said the quality was in the tape, just not in the dispenser.

Even taking into account they send you 6 rolls of tape and not so good dispenser, the value for what you get is still there.



You can find this packing tape on Amazon.

Keeping teeth safe during sports




As a mom I am seeing Under Armour items everywhere, not knowing much about them and wanting to learn about their products, I thought I would take the chance to review these mouthguards which are of course for Football, are are considered Performance Mouthguards, but hope to get some Basketball mouthguards in time for basketball season for the girls so please check back on that in the near future.

Two of the mouthguards they sent me are the UA flavorblast antimicrobial mouth guards in Bubble Gum and Berry with attached helmet straps. These are meant to have flavor and the antimicrobial properties last the whole life use which means with a little rinse these mouthguards will be clean and sanitary for use inside your mouth.

Under Armour also sent me one of the regular Armourbite Antimicrobial Mouthguards which I really like because the mouthguard has a defined look that looks like it will be better for your mouth and teeth in the long run.

I am really looking forward to reviewing a set for my girls for basketball because to be honest besides telling people about these mouthguards we were not able to actually use them because my girls don't play football. We could have gotten away with using the Armourbite Antimicrobial Mouthguard for Soccer but this year my daughter couldn't play because of her physical being after tryouts.

You can find Under Armour Mouth guards available on their site here.
