Autism & Special Needs Music DVD and CD



I have two daughters who are in a contained classroom setting even though they do all specials with the mainstream children they are in classrooms with children of varying ages and learning disabilities.

I have worked with children since I was about 12 years old. Over the years I have taken care of children with learning disabilities as well as children with other issues such as coming from a broken home, single working parents trying to do the best they could for their children, and some with problems that needed specialists to help them throughout their lives.

Each of them holds a special place in my heart, memory, and even in my daily life because all those years later some of them still keep in touch with me. I love seeing their children, and how well they are doing in life. Their struggles, ups, downs, and all the way I know I was a part of their lives even if just for a short while.

I found out long ago that the best way to get children of varying ages ands learning curves to work together is by including music as well as  art into everyday schedules. I believe it evens the field out because music has so many aspects from humming, rocking, singing, dancing, swaying, playing instruments etc, that there is something for everyone. You can hear music, feel music, and move to music.

Perfect for those who have learning disabilities and has been proven to help those who have music in their lives to do better in everyday situations from learning, relationships, and temperament. Even though this is slotted for Special Needs and Autism it can also be use in a home setting, professional setting, and even classrooms.

Bring a classroom of children together through music or just work one on one with any child to see a difference take shape right in front of your eyes.

You can find the Autism & Special Needs Music DVD and CD on Amazon.

Ezy Pruner


We have been looking for a pruner for our rose bush which we uprooted from one area of our house to another area several years ago. I didn't want anything huge, but kitchen shears were just not cutting it. These Ezy Pruners are perfect for the job and even do small tree limbs.

One of the things I have always wanted when we own our home (we currently rent) are some fruit trees. A few Apple, Pear, and maybe a peach tree, as well as a garden with that comes needing garden tools to be able to get the job done right. After a while we may need to buy a larger set but for now this set is just perfect.

Easy to use comes in Black or Red. We have ours in Red. I love how they ratchet and cut without having to use too much strength which I do not have.

You can find the Ezy Pruner on Amazon.


Ezy Pruner Ratchet Pruning Shears - BLKLess Effort Required for Greater Cuts 
If you've ever tried cutting medium sized branches, but have found it a struggle using regular Pruning Shears... then, you'll love using these Ezy Pruners!

Here's why... 

The way in which these Ratchet Pruners work is they have a ratcheting mechanism in place that takes care of as much as 80% of the workload for you! All you have to do is to place the jaws of the anvil blade around the object that you're wanting to cut, like you would an ordinary pruner... grip the handles, squeeze ever so gently until you hear a locking sound... and as simple as 3 easy squeezes... you'll have a nice clean cut right before you! 

No more struggling to cut tough branches of wood, and getting nowhere! 

What Kind of Cuts Can You Expect From These? 
Your Ezy Pruners will make short work of hard branches of up to 1" thick. Though, this doesn't mean you need to only save these for those bigger tasks... you will find your ratchet pruners are great for trimming flower stems, getting rid of dead plants, or any small to medium pruning task, really!

Light where you need it




Tap lights have sure taken a step for the better since we last bought one. We live in a old farm house where there are no lights for the closets, and most of them are walk in closets, so having a light to find things is a must.

Easy to set up, install, and use. I love how bright this light is, as well as the versatility it has. Great also for a backup for power outages.

Sandalwood Beard Comb





My husband has a beard most of the year and with that comes being able to take care of it. For on the go care my husband prefers his beard comb and a little bit of beard oil. He really likes this comb because it comes with a nice case to store it away in between uses.

Love the smell of the sandalwood, and this can also be use for your mustache as well.


You can find the fine tooth comb for beards with leather pouch on Amazon.


What Cornucopia Brands has to say about their product. 

Fine Tooth Sandalwood Beard Comb and Leather Made in the USA Carrying Pocket Pouch

Every person with the ability to grow a beard, and that has chosen to do so, needs it to be one thing, that thing is MAJESTIC. Let us help.

One of the hardest tasks in maintaining a good beard is making sure it is neatly combed as to give the beard the best thickness and body possible.

Plastic beard combs give your beard body, but also creates static and allows the beard to get the same fly away characteristic as long hair after the improper grooming. This makes for undesired looks, and difficulty in managing your beard for days to come. With sandalwood fine tooth combs, you get the same body, and good looks, but you eliminate the static and flyaways.

Best part is, our leather handmade in the USA pouch allows you to slide that bad boy in your pockets safely, and take it on the go nearly anywhere you choose!

Combined with a good oil or just a good trim, these combs can take your beard to majestic levels very easily. Perfect for anyone that enjoys a well groomed beard. Perfect for long beard, medium beards, short beards, and mustaches.

If you facial hair is long enough to comb, you need to be combining it with this. If its not long enough to comb, it should be, and when it is, you need one of these!
