Let your children pretend to cook

This is such a cute set. Like I said in my video I have never seen a spaghetti spoon in a kids set before so this is my favorite piece.  For my 7 years old she loves that this looks just like the set mommy has and the pot holder is also one of her favorite pieces.

This set would be great for home or school use. I think Kitchen centers are just one of the biggest and nicer toys to have for an inside toy for your children. This is where children learn to plan and make meals.

The introduce their dolls or friends playing to new foods that they sometimes are trying on their own. Hey if their doll likes it they might eat it the next time it is served to them. Realistic playware like this set here is a great addition to the kitchen center.

My daughter loves to bring me bowls of homemade pretend soup she has made, new pastries, tea, as well as all other sorts of foods for me to try. I love that this set is so close to the real thing but in a child size.

Protect your baby

I didn't have my first car seat cover until I had my third child and boy was it a godsend. I had the kind that was meant for the winter so that my child would be warm while toting her in and out of the car for errands.

This Carseat cover by Armful of Love is more of a spring/ fall kind of cover to keep the little ones just a bit more warm, or covered from the sun, air conditioner in your car, or just for privacy when they are sleeping.

It seems everyone wants to touch babies me included but when they are sleeping only family should be touching them in my book, all others hands off till they wake up. When my 6th child came along I also had a summer cover that had a mesh covering to keep the bugs at bay which was awesome as well.

I love all of the new products that they come out with to both make a parent's job a little more easy as well as making your baby more comfortable as well. What I like most about this cover is that it attaches to the handle to keep a tent like enclosure around your child instead of the fabric draping on your child, much more breathable then some I have seen.

I don't like the sticky things you attach to the side of the car seat only because when I change carseats, most people have more than one if they have more than one car I can't use this canopy as well on another one unless I had extra stickies for the other car seat, or broke down and bought to covers, one for each car seat.

All in all I love this canopy just send extra stickies for a second car seat, hint we actually had three car seats for my grand daughters. One for my daughter, one for us, and one for the other set of grandparents

You can purchase the Armful of Love Baby Car Seat Cover on Amazon.

Now fans have a front-row seat to a showcase of the most prestigious Peanuts features ever assembled into one collection. Peanuts: Emmy® Honored Collection includes 11 animated television specials on two discs. All of the specials featured in this release were recognized with either an Emmy® Award win or nomination. All specials have been remastered for gorgeous picture and sound quality. It’s a collection full of big laughs, best friends and life lessons that will delight the whole family. Featured Specials: You’re the Greatest, Charlie Brown – Hard work and team spirit is what Charlie Brown needs to win the decathlon at the school Junior Olympics event. His competitors are Marcie, defending Decathlon champ Freddie Fabulous and the Masked Marvel (aka, Snoopy). On the first day, Charlie Brown places third. On day two however, he begins to feel the pressure. He’s faced with having to tackle the high hurdles, pole vault, discus/javelin throw, and other events. Will he emerge victorious and win the Olympics for his school? This special was nominated for a Primetime Emmy® Award (Outstanding Animated Program). She’s a Good Skate, Charlie Brown – Peppermint Patty trains for a figure-skating competition with Snoopy as her coach. Her determination is fierce, even after facing several obstacles, including exhaustion from pre-dawn training sessions to Marci’s failure to create a proper skating outfit, to her soundtrack malfunctioning at the start of her performance. Will it be disaster on ice or will Peppermint Patty emerge as a champ? This special was nominated for a Primetime Emmy ® Award (Outstanding Animated Program). It’s Magic, Charlie Brown – This special finds Snoopy putting on a show after he checks out a book on magic tricks from the library. With Marcie and Sally as his assistants, he performs many tricks (some that work and some that don’t) before an audience. The grand finale features the biggest trick of all, making Charlie Brown disappear. To everyone’s amazement, Snoopy makes him invisible but doesn’t know how to bring Charlie Brown back. Will Snoopy find a way to reverse the trick? This special was nominated for a Primetime Emmy ® Award (Outstanding Animated Program).

Peppermint Patty attempts to cheer up Charlie Brown. How will the gang cope with their pals having left the neighborhood? This special was nominated for a Primetime Emmy ® Award (Outstanding Animated Program). Life is a Circus, Charlie Brown – This special finds Snoopy joining the circus when he falls for one of its performers, a white poodle named Fifi. Snoopy soon becomes a star performer, doing tricks on the unicycle, high wire and trapeze, and he’s renamed “Hugo the Great.” In the meantime, Charlie Brown is left distraught by Snoopy’s decision. What he doesn’t know however, is that for Snoopy, show business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Will Snoopy ever return home or will the lure of stardom and his love for Fifi keep him from Charlie Brown? This special earned a Primetime Emmy ® Award (Outstanding Animated Program). What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown? – This touching special finds the Peanuts gang in Europe as they visit various war memorials. They learn about the First and Second World Wars, and the sacrifices made by soldiers at various historical battles. In France they learn about the D-Day Invasion of World War II.

As Janice undergoes treatments to recover her health, Linus questions why she became ill to begin with. This special was nominated for a Primetime Emmy® Award (Outstanding Animated Program). You’re a Good Sport, Charlie Brown - Start your engines! Its Motocross season and competing against the likes of Peppermint Patty and the Masked Marvel – aka a certain daredevil Beagle named Snoopy – can intimidate anyone. But if Charlie Brown – tagged with unlucky number 13 – can keep the pace slow and steady (as well as hold onto his helmet), he might just win the race! It’s fast and furious fun right up through the finish line with this wonderful Emmy® Award winner (Outstanding Children’s Special). “Peanuts: Emmy® Honored Collection offers fans the opportunity to own several outstanding Peanuts specials, including childhood favorites to share with a new generation,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President Family & Animation Marketing.

Little and Mighty

This little lantern is so bright at full strength. I was surprised. Great for camping, hiking, emergency lighting, for children to play with.

I really like that this throws off so much light. I just can't get over it. I also like that if my husband and I are not home when there is a power outage I don't have to worry about the children lighting candles they can just get this and have all of the light they need until the power comes back on.

Small but powerful. You will need 3 AA batteries for this to work. The only way to make this better would be for it to be solar or a wind up lantern.

You can purchase the Galactic Lighting LED Micro Lantern on Amazon.
