Toddler Eating Made Easy

Having taken care of my own children during their toddler years and many others I would have loved to have this product from Axsels Home Ware. This is a placemat and plate all in one. It is made from food grade silicone, BPA free, PVC free, and chemical free. 

I love that this sticks to the surface so that learning eaters can eat without having their plate flip over or even better for us caregivers harder for them to pick up and throw. I like to take a wet rag and wipe the spot where this is to be used first seems to give it extra stick. 

This set also comes with a soft fork and spoon for no pain eating for your learning child. Nothing more discouraging then a child hurting themselves with a metal fork which causes them to go back to using their hands. This will give them teachable moments without pain. 

This would make a great gift for the new mom of a toddler, or anyone who needs a little extra helping hand. Easy clean up by hand or in dishwasher.

Colorful Reuseable Straws

One thing to have on hand when you have children are straws.  These straws from BESU are great because you get 25 different straws and a straw cleaning brush.

They are super colorful, reusable, and have  ridges on them to keep them in your lidded cups.

You can use these in your home, work, school, play, and even for parties so everyone can tell which drink is theirs.

My 9 year already picked out her favorite, she just loves straws. I like that straws keep my teeth from being stained any more then they already are.

Electronic Needs for Back to School

With back to school it is time to make sure everyone has everything they need. This year is a bit harder with our current situation but we have made do and gotten most of what we need. With that being said I wanted to make sure the girls had headphones and chargers for their electronics so I also made sure I had a nice long cord for myself. 

This cord from PowerUp is great because it is apple certified, is 6 ft long, and has a braided cord which I think holds up much longer then the unbraided cords out there. This particular cord is in Pink and is apple certified for with iPhone 7 Plus / 7 / 6s Plus / 6s / 6 Plus / 6 / 5s / 5c / 5 / iPad Pro / iPad Air / Air 2 / iPad mini / mini 2 / mini 4 / iPad 4th gen / iPod Touch 5th gen / iPod nano 7th gen. This one cord covers many ios operating models.

Moisturizing Face & Body Paint

My girls like to do face painting from time to time. With Community Days, Fairs, and other events coming up my oldest daughter living home helps with face painting. She will be doing face painting at one of the community events next week and then again at the fair so we picked up some face & body paint to have on hand for our own use and for her to practice with so she is ready.

This face & body Paint from iMustech is nice because each color is safe inside sealed 12ml tubes that can be closed with tubes and aren't open to the elements in between uses. iMustech also includes a nice paint brush for applying the face & body paint, although my daughter uses several items to get the effects she personally wants or is creating on someone's face.

The colors in this set of 12 are lemon yellow, burnt umber, vermilion, sap green, viridian, phthalo blue, titanium white, crimson red, ultramarine, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, and black. The best part about these face & body paints is that they are not drying, they are actually moisturizing. 

With other sets we have had I have always put cold cream or moisturizer on my children's faces before beginning. I just makes a nice pallet and helps with easy clean up when you are ready to remove. I also like that this paint does not crack when it is drying, showing the importance of moisturizing effect. 

Last but not least is that these face & body paints are safe and non toxic. I can't rate them as vegan, which is the only thing I can see that would make them great for everyone.

Stainless Steel Cups

Growing up I remember going to friends or even families houses and they had these colored metal cups to drink out of. Our family was more into glass or plastic and with my own family, we had 6 children so we did mostly plastic it just made sense, but that was because I couldn't find those metal cups I remembered as a child. 

These cups from SeaTurtle are stainless steel, much more sturdier then the cups I remember from my childhood and come in a pack of 4. Two of the cups are 16oz and the other two are 10oz great for families. What I love most is that they come with a lifetime warranty which can be worth it in the long run.
