Tenchi Ears




Hot yoga mat towels are quite new to me but are quickly becoming my new favorite friend. Especially during the summer when just doing easy poses had me sweating all over the place.

To be honest it wasn't until I hit my late 30's that I had ever even sweat other than when I broke a fever as a child. Really so when I started to sweat I was kind of excited because I knew my body was having exertion.

I love how this towel has triangle pockets on the opposite side so that my mat fits right inside. Now if I am in a hurry I can just roll the mat with towel up and on my way I go.

No more worrying about  if you are going to slip, you can just enjoy your yoga.You can wash and dry this mat, but don't use bleach or fabric softener.

You can purchase the Tenchi Sports Suede Hot yoga towel on Amazon.

What Tenchi Sports has to say about their product.

Tip: At the beginning of your practice, lightly spraying water on the top surface of the towel will enhance its grip.

No more flying headphones



Our family has gone through lots of headphones. Even though we still purchase cheaper headphones for our younger children we have invested in better headphones for ourselves and our older children.

We want a great headphone for an affordable price. We have had a few now and this bluetooth set of headphones from Pulseaudio is a good one for me, although I would prefer these to be out of ear headphones.

I have a habit of getting the cord tangled up in my hands because I use them to talk with, clean with, cook with, etc. I need headphones what will not be flying off of my head everytime I move.

Bluetooth technology allows me to move freely while still being able to listen to my favorite music. Now if only they made these in over the ear I would be in total love with them. They hook up easily to your bluetooth, and have great sound for working out, running, cleaning, etc.

Getting a restful nights sleep


I have a husband who likes to sleep with a light or TV on while I like it pitch black to sleep. Even the alarm clock light bothers me. I had him sleeping in the dark for a while but he is back to having to have some sort of light on again.

For him it is habit more then anything else. The thing is I don't get good sleep as it is. I refuse to wear ear plugs because I want to be able to hear my children, but I do like to wear a eye mask while sleeping to keep the light out.

An eye mask is wonderful if you have migraine headaches because it blocks out light that causes so much pain, and if you can bear the pressure in  your ears during a Migraine attack the ear plugs would come in handy too. Usually if I have a Migraine my husband is the one who takes care of the children.

Easy to use, come in a nice pouch, great for people who travel, have to sleep for a different shift where it will be light outside, and for anyone who would like a restful nights sleep.

You can purchase this eyemask and earplugs on Amazon.

Don't forget your lunch bag



Having a nice lunch from home is sometimes what kids need to feel a little extra loved. I know from time to time my girls like to take lunch from home, but most times they are happy with what is available at school, although from their point of view the food is getting worse so who knows in the next few years we might be sending homemade lunches more often if not everyday.

Even if your children eat lunch in school they made need a lunch bag for either a field trip, or even to carry their snack in. My 3rd graders class has two snacks a day so I want to make sure her drinks stay cool, so they are refreshing when she gets to have them.

These are simple bags available in several colors and if you have some fabric paint you can let your child decorate their very own. Instant unique lunch bag (don't forget to snap pictures).

Even though this says children's lunch bag it is roomy enough to be pulled off by an adult as well.

You can purchase the Hydracentials kids insulated lunch bag on Amazon.

Jumbo Ice Cubes




These are pretty big ice cubes, by the way they are perfect if you have a ice shaver in the house for frosty treats like we do. The kids love these bigger ice cubes almost as much as I do. I like to make ice tea, by putting in frozen cubes of ice tea so it doesn't' water down when the ice melts. 

When milk is on sale we even freeze milk ice cubes for smoothies, recipes, or even just to make a cup of milk more chilled. Think frozen coffee cubes for iced coffee or homemade frosted coffee drinks. 

Great for any drink you want to keep cold either by using just plain water or a mixture of flavors like lemonade with watermelon ice cubes. delicious. 




You can purchase the Large Ice cube mold on amazon.
