PinPix



Are you looking for a really nice bulletin board for your office, bedroom, or classroom? Then you might want to check out PinPix from Art for Frames which you can find in several colors and sizes. If you go to Art for frames website you can even order personalized bulletin boards. Myself I am thinking really nice Christmas gifts that can be useful art.

These bulletin boards come packaged really well. I thought I was getting an expensive piece of art when it was delivered but nope just the bulletin board so right away this company was making an impression on me.

Once we opened the box and took out the bulletin boards I was in love. They come with everything you need to hang this on your wall, and even a package of pushpins. With self healing technology where the holes heal themselves this is an awesome product. Our girls loved checking on the holes in two days to see how much they healed.

Now of course I have two girls who each want one of these plus me being the mom having my heart set on putting one in my computer room, so I am thinking ordering some for gifts for Christmas just has to happen this year so everyone is happy.

The PinPix bulletin boards can be found on Amazon in several colors and shapes.



What Art to Frames has to say about their product.

  • PinPix is a patent-pending canvas bulletin board created with self-healing technology that limits wear and tear when pricked. 
PinPix boards are made from high quality canvas with beautiful designs you will be proud to display anywhere in your home.

Prick the canvas with a pin to display a recipe, photo, note or clipping.

Remove the pin and within the space of 48 hours the holes will partially repair themselves due to the self-healing quality of the canvas!

Mimosa and Apple Champagne



Our family is big on burning candles both for the scent and for the lovely glow they give a room. Very calming. Ocotillo South West did a really nice job of packaging these candles, they came safe and sound. I really like that they included a little charm on each candle container which makes it great for splitting up for two gifts if you would like to. We are going to save the charms to put on our Christmas tree.

It also came with a wick key which I really like, this is the first time we have ever worked with one and I am very impressed. You just push the wick down into the wax to distinguish and then pull the wick back out for a smokeless way to put out your candle. All that is left is the scent from the candle not the flame being put out. Love this.

They each come with a screw on top and the scents well they are amazing. I wasn't so sure about the Mimosa I was more interested in the Champagne Apple. Turns out I love the Mimosa better then my trusted apple scent which is amazing in itself, but the Mimosa really surprised me.

These are great for gifts, or for use in your own home.

The Ocotillo South West Candles can be found on Amazon in several scents.


What Ocotillo South West has to say about their product.

We pride ourselves in using only the highest quality fragrances or essential oils in a soy/paraffin wax blend which creates a beautiful smelling, long-burning candle (40 + hours each).  The wicks are all natural fiber and metal free. Our Spring collection has "Mimosa", a fabulous grapefruit-citrus fragrance, and the other candle is "Champagne Apple”, a wonderful crisp green apple scent.  These are the perfect fragrances and colors for spring and summer.   They arrive in a charming gift box and include a wick dipper for smokeless extinguishing.  This is the perfect set for Mother's Day or any occasion!

Dauber Dawgs Dot Activity Book






This is a great item if you already have the Dauber Dawgs dot markers or even a different set from a different brand. You get 24 different animal sheets, and they are good enough quality to be able to copy if you have a copy machine. My husband scanned these so that my girls and grand daughters can do them all over again just by printing what they would like to work on.

My daughter likes to use the dot markers first and then she likes to go back in and color the rest of the picture.

Really nice for both young and old. Yes even us parents enjoy using these. Can be used at home or school for learning or just for fun.

#ShareTheLuv with $100.00 AMEX gift card


As a mom of 6, grandmother of 2, and past child care provider I have to say Luvs was my most used diaper for cost and effectiveness overall. Yes I bought other top diaper brands when I could get them on sale with coupons and the price was cheaper then Luvs but to be honest that just does not happen often so Luvs was my go to diaper. 

Luvs has large stretch tabs, ultra-leakage protection, a money-back guarantee (found here) and multiple high-value coupon offers throughout the year, Luvs with NightLock provides high-quality features for less cost than premium brands. Available in sizes newborn to 6. 

Right now we are diaper free but I wanted to pass on this great news for those who are still in the diaper phase so that they could really save some money.

The official diaper of experienced moms, Luvs is offering big savings in this Sunday’s paper May 29, 2016  for $2.00 on any one Luvs Diaper Pack   with an expiration of June 25, 2016.  

Additionally, in partnership with Ibotta, Luvs is also offering a limited-time $3 rebate on any boxed variety of Luvs diapers, 54ct. box or larger.

That is a total of $5.00 savings which really adds up quickly when you are purchasing diapers for one or more children. Think of the savings over a year with just the cost difference of Luvs compared to others. They say $150.00 but if you add in coupons, sales, and things like ibotta you can at least double that. College savings anyone?


If you don't already have ibotta register at ibotta here. Then download here for apple and here for android.

100.00 AMEX gift card to be given to one of my readers from Luvs

Dauber Dawgs



Most of us adults might remember using these while playing bingo with our parents, but I have always loved the idea of using these with children to create art.

You can use these at home, pre-schools, and regular schools. I love that this set comes with so many colors and they are so easy to get going. You are just seconds aways from creative dot fun with Dauber Dawgs.

If you visit Cameron Franck Products website you can also print out more worksheets which is a great way to add more dot for your buck.

You can use these to learn colors, letters, numbers, etc. Plus you make some really great art along the way.


Dauber Dawgs are easy to hold and use which is great for young learners or those with developing hand eye coordination. Great for any young artist but I have to say even us adults had fun with these.


Dauber Dawgs can be found on Amazon.
