Awesome Holiday Lights

These lights are awesome. They are solar powered, waterproof so you can use these near the pool or outside in bad weather, they have different lighting scenarios so you can change it up depending on the party or your mood. I can honestly say I can see these being used for pretty much all of the Holidays, parties, and just for a fun look in a teens room.

I love the new lights that are coming out to help you update your Holiday lighting and this is one that sure has me excited. We are going to string these around our room for the Holidays to bring some cheer into our year.

You can see these in action on my Instagram here.

The Homeme 50 LED Solar String Light are 23 feet of lighting excitement. and then can be found on Amazon.

Take-A-Part Build Toy

Summer is just around the corner which means summer vacation for my girls. That leaves me to finding things to keep them busy in between what they come up with, mostly for rainy days where they can't get outside to play.

Having little toys like this building kit, and craft projects really saves the day in more ways then one.

It gives my child something fun to do while they are learning to read, follow instructions, match up pieces, sort, count, and of course build.

Great for children ages 5 and up. Everything is included to make two different models but with a little imagination your child might even be able to make a few other designs of their own.

Neon Glow in the Dark Body Paint

Awesome product. I know my daughter Dennise would love to get her hands on some of these. I know my husband was impressed by these as well as my girls who are still home.

They can not wait to go to a party with these or at least throw one here with their friends. This body paint can also be used on wood, plastic, and paper but needs a black light activate. We had a black light flashlight so you can see the picture on the left.

Our family gives Neon Glow a thumbs up.






Neon Glow can be found on Amazon.

Two variations:
1.  Colors included: yellow, blue, pink, green, orange, and red

Recommended for ages 6 and up
Applicable to many surfaces including termporary uv body designs, designs on paper, wood, and clothing

Self Adhesive Vinyl Roll

This is a follow up on products from Angel Direct You can see our other reviews for this product here and  here and on YouTube here.

This is a roll that fits right into your machine if you have one but can be cut and used without a machine as well. Great for making gifts, decor items, and crafts.

Easy to use with a machine or without, great results when you take your time.



You can find this Vinyl roll on Amazon.


What Angel Direct Products has to say about their product.

Angel Craft VINYL is made to last with premium quality and a strong 3 mil thickness. It is best used for INDOOR applications, but can also be used OUTDOOR depending on weather conditions. 

Once you order and it arrives to your home just remove the plastic wrapping and attach it to a roll feeder or use in Provo Craft CRICUTmachine or the Silhouette CAMEO / PORTRAIT die cutter or any other printer that you desire. 

After you have cut your designs you then can use the Angel craft Transfer Paper (sold separately) to easily align your design on the wall or other smooth surfaces. 

WHY 2 1/2 INCH CORE? 

Vinyl has memory, which means it will roll back up to its original position. However, with a larger & thick core it is less likely to roll back up as tightly compared to smaller cores. This IMPROVES "stability" and "cutting" on different roll feeders and vinyl cutting machines!!! 

Great for Home Decor, Weddings, Scrapbooking, Stenciling, Papercrafting, Signs, Windows, Glasses, Tiles, and so much more!

Beautiful 50"s Style Floral Dress

Another beautiful dress that my daughter was able to try out. She has been given so many compliments on this dress, she wants more dresses from Sox on the W.

I really love how this fit her, it washes nice as well. We hung ours to dry and it looks the same as when we first received it.

As you can see she loves this dress which she pairs with either black flats or black boots. I think a pretty red flower in her hair would complete the look, but she just wore her hair down instead.

This has a fitted look but has a little stretch to it. It flows well and she loves to spin around because it billows out so beautifully.

You can find this Sox on the W Vintage 1950's dress on Amazon.

Vintage Pencil Dress

This is one of my favorite dresses that we were able to review recently and boy does my daughter look grownup in it. Very cute, stylish, and fits great.

She was given tons of compliments on this dress, and loved every minute of wearing it. She is excited to get more dresses from this company in the future.

Until then she has a running wish list of other clothing from them. This dress has a back zipper and has a little slit in the back. Love the bow trim and the polka dots are so cute. We paired this with another hat which you can find in my reviews as well if you are interested.

Skinny Tie

I don't really put ties like this in the men's department only area because even women and teen girls can make a tie like this look good.

Brings back memories of the 80's and too me the look with wearing ties still fits in well with both work, and casual looks.

This tie is quite nice and even caught the eye of my 18 year old daughter who was  very interested in it. Glad I didn't get the orange tie because she would have called it for her own.

The Skinny tie is a much narrower tie then most ties and fits well in both men and women's fashion. This tie is available in many colors.

You can find this tie in many colors on amazon.

Ready, Set, Fly

This kite is huge and was claimed by myself when it came in. We hadn't flown kites in a long time. It was long overdue and we really enjoyed it. Usually we just use the kites the kids get at the Town's Easter Celebration but they usually break sometime during the first use so they aren't really reliable, but the kits from Zcutt Home products can be used many times. Ours are still going strong and that is alot. Our family can at times be rough on products because we end up using them so often.

What I think I liked most about these kites were that they were pretty much all put together which is much easier on us parents because our kids want to get out there and fly a kite not wait for mommy or daddy to figure out how to put it together.

You can find this Kite on Amazon.

Go Fly a Kite!

Flying a kite is one of those thing we put off doing all of the time, but when we finally get to doing it, we really enjoy it. The kites we have had this year are much better than those we have had in the past, which makes for enjoying them that much better. From the string to the actual kite we are finding that these kites last more than one use, they haven't broken yet and that is very exciting to us.

With other kites we find they go up and when they come down they usually break which is heartbreaking to a child who wants to do it again and again. We are very happy with the results of testing this kite out and look forward to many more days of kite flying ahead.

You can find this Kite on Amazon.

Vintage Swing Evening Dress

When I told my daughter she could pick a few dresses out online this was one she picked out. I was surprised because most of the time she picks Pink to wear, but here she is.

Guess she thought it was time she should paint the town red. Of course when she actually wears this out of the house the bow will be done a bit more better as well as her having dress shoes on and her hair up and styled but I think you can get the feel for the dress from the picture.

The fabric is easy to care for something my daughter needs because she doesn't always take care of  her clothes the way they should be so easy to care for fits her just right.

The sleeves are a bit longer on he then 3/4 but she has quite a bit of growth that she can do while wearing this dress. I see a few years of wear until it goes onto my younger daughter.
