Sun Tea meets Cold Brew






At first these reminded me of nut milk bags and you might be able to use them as such but they are made for making cold brew coffee. My husband does not like cold coffee so he just heats his up after it is done brewing.

Think sun tea but made with coffee instead. If you want a little flavor you can add cinnamon to the grounds before cold brewing for a nice flavor throughout. Easy to use and clean I just dump the grounds in our compost pail, rinse with water, hang to dry , and they are ready for the next brew when needed.

You can find these cold brew bags on Amazon.

FSL Reflex Bluetooth Sport Earbuds




With school just starting we try and make sure the kids each have a set so they can listen to their music, movies, shows, etc without bothering anyone else. My husband gave these a whirl before turning them over to me.

I am not an in ear kind of headphone kind of person, they hurt my ears, my ears are delicate. These take a bit of time to get used to because of how they go into your ear, and around your ear but they are workable. They also come with a neat case to keep them safe from harm in between use.

Now to figure out which of my daughters are going to be the proud owners of the FSl Reflex Bluetooth Sport Earbuds.

Perfect for the bowl throwing baby


Feeding children is always a chore but a baby can be a bit more of that. They want to spit the food out, grab the spoon, draw with the food, throw the food, as well as wear the food. 

The suction cup on the Snug Baby feeding bowl will keep the bowl where it belongs. The lip is great if you are holding the bowl in your hand to feed your child. The spoon is an added extra and completes the feeding bowl for a all in one gift. 

Easy to wash and is also Dishwasher safe. 


You can find this baby feeding bowl on Amazon.

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.
