The SMART Playbook


This book is quite engaging and fun for both parent and child to do together. Being a mother I want to instill in my child's life how they will survive once they are out on their own. This teaching has to be taught while they are growing up, from how to talk to people, cook, clean, purchase products, to taking care of their finances. We can't teach them everything that will come along in their lives but we can give them a good head start to healthy adulthood.

The Smart Play Book is a compilation of 5 smaller books, so if you would only like to do one section I suggest just getting that book but for the price of what two books cost you can get The Smart Play Book with all 5 books included under one cover. 

I really enjoyed seeing my children learn while having fun. We all know that learning is easier when it is fun to do. Doesn't matter if you are an adult or child learning can be fun. You might even be surprised while reading this book and learn a thing or two yourself.


You can purchase The Smart Play Book here or on Amazon.

Money Belt for Travel



As my husband and I are aging we are thinking more and more about traveling around a bit. With that of course comes safety as well as being able to find your luggage while traveling. With the Money Belt for Travel you get both a money belt and two luggage straps which are really nice to have.

My husband did point out that he could not tell the difference between the two straps because of being color blind but a small color change could make a big difference for those who have color blindness.

I really like that the money belt has an RFID blocker built in. People really have no idea how easy it is for someone to get your credit card information. Now you will have a few less worries while traveling.

You can purchase the Money Belt for Travel on Amazon.

Bloody Mary Mix by SalsaCrazy

My mother used to order a Virgin Bloody Merry drink at the restaurant when we would go. She always gave me her celery. Because the Bloody Mary Mix by SalsaCrazy is so Hot and I mean it when I say Hot I mixed it half and half with V-8 Vegetable juice to calm down the heat. I like to serve this over ice with a celery stalk. Every time I have one I think of my mom.

This would be great for any party as a bring along, you will be surprised by how many people have never had one before. I don't personally like Vodka so I go with the Virgin or Mock version.

You can purchase Bloody Mary Mix by SalsaCrazy on Amazon.

Acu-Life Neti-Rinse: All Natural Sinus & Nasal Relief


As a child I remember my father always rinsing his noise during allergy season as well as when he had any sinus problems. Now as an adult I find myself doing the same thing to help keep irritation at bay. As a mother I not have children with allergies and want to teach them to take care of their noses as well. 

This Neti Rinse is about as easy as it gets. When I was growing up my father just put salt in a bathroom sink of water and rinsed his nose, but this little contraption from Acu-Life is just awesome for adults or for children. 

I haven't had any nasal congestion or post nasal drip this year yet but I will be sure to try this for that next time as well. Never thought of using it for those things before. I don't know why, because it makes sense.
