Keep your pet clean




We had a little bit of a discussion about keeping our pets clean and what scents we like them to smell like. Funny thing is I am not sure our pets always agree on what we pick for them to smell like. Until they can talk or pull away and I don't mean a little fight while giving a bath to I don't think we will really know for sure if they like it or not.

I do however let my pet smell what I am going to be putting on them and so far so good. I have had them in the past kind of turn away so I am pretty sure that is a sign they don't like it. With this shampoo she didn't turn away so it was a go. 

Bathing a Saint Bernard is hard enough, she just fits in our downstairs tub for her washing. She will get maybe two more baths before winter and then she won't get another until the spring. I don't care if she is a cold weather dog I am not going to let her shake off outside while it is cold. She is getting older and I don't want her to get sick. 

OK so back to the Fifi & Fido shampoo. While my husband says it smells like coconut cookie while I thought it smelled more like Fruit Punch, either way it makes our pet cleaner and leaves her smelling quite nice too. 

You can purchase Fifi & Fido Shampoo on Amazon.

Wedgnetix



Our family received the 16 pc set. The directions come with projects for the both 16 and 32 pieces so if you would like to go right into building 32 piece designs make sure you pick up the bigger kit.

You can purchase the Wedgnetix here, at Target, and Amazon.


What WEDGiTS has to say about their product.
ImagAbility, makers of the original international building block brand, WEDGiTS™, today announced that its newest attraction, WEDGNETiX™, magnetic WEDGiTS, are now available. Perfect for Back to School learning as well as early holiday shopping season.
The amazing new WEDGNETiX (MSRP $39.99 and $69.99 for 16-piece and 32-piece sets) unlocks a new construction potential of WEDGiTS building block toys.

WEDGNETiX were created to add even more open ended play patterns for children.  With WEDGNETiX, a child, or adult, can explore complex geometry and greater visual appreciation for 2D to 3D relationships. It sounds technical, but it is really just fun and kids don’t realize how educational it is.

The unique part about WEDGNETiX is the amazing building process it provides. With WEDGNETiX, you can create original 2D designs that include a square, a rectangle and a hexagon. This is accomplished through the WEDGNETiX design that has a magnet within each component.  Specifically, each WEDGNETiX bar has an embedded magnet on one end and a metal cap on the opposite end. This allows two WEDGNETiX bars to fully rotate around each other for a 360-degree rotation. With WEDGNETiX, you can rotate one half of a hexagon upward to reveal a 3D representation of a hexagon. 

WEDGNETiX do not require instructions like other popular building block products. WEDGNETiX follow the WEDGiTS toy line in that it’s open-ended design allows kids to create freely. ImagAbility does provide design ideas for kids to progress from 2D into 3D constructions, however, there isn’t any “only one way to do things” step-by-step instruction.

ImagAbility points out the extreme safety of WEDGNETiX:
A key criterion in the engineering design of the WEDGNETiX bar relieves any consumer safety concern. Each bar is a two-sided construction that has a male and a female component. When the two parts mate together they literally sandwich the cylindrical magnet between the parts. The plastic parts, made of an extremely strong ABS plastic, are pulled together, which basically melds the plastic into a single component. In addition, ImagAbility clearly identifies caution on the front of each package, that WEDGNETiX contains magnets. The product is tested and in compliance to the USA’s CPSIA and international ASTM FM963 certification.

About WEDGiTS: 
The basic set of WEDGiTS building block toys resemble square donuts and diamonds with angled edges.  The five, primary pieces of the WEDGiTS toy are graduated in size, so, the blocks actually nest together and stack into the shape of a pyramid.  Mathematicians refer to these block shapes as rhombus and octahedrons.  Each block is a different primary color, so, you can imagine a rainbow effect of color in each design a child builds. The design of each block naturally aligns in both vertical and horizontal patterns for an open-ended manipulative. 

In addition to WEDGNETiX and various traditional WEDGiTS sets, other products in the WEDGiTS line include, WEDGiTS on Wheels (WOW) and Mini WEDGiTS™, as well as WEDGiTS school activity packs, building table platforms and other accessories.

The award-winning WEDGiTS line has earned ImagAbility honors in Parenting Magazine, Toy Insider, and Learning Magazine, as well as awards and honors from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, National Parenting Publications of America, Mom’s Choice, National Parenting Center, Parents Choice, Dr. Toy, and Able Play’s Special Needs Approval.

Pink Perfume Lightning to USB Cable


How can a lightning cord be any better? I am glad you asked. How about one that scents the air as it is used? That is what I said. Scents the air as it is used. When this came in my 18 year old told me she wanted this when I was done with the review.

My daughter is all about scents, mediation (which I got her into), and lots of color so this cord was perfect for her. It has mild scent, not too overpowering. I thought the cord might be sticky but it isn't so that was a welcome surprise. If you have ever had to clean perfume off of jewelry then you understand the sticky part.

I am not sure how long the scent will last but it has lasted over 30 days so far from almost daily use.


You can find this pink perfume cord on Amazon.

Looking for a great new way to give a gift of money? Why not a money Maze. New exciting, and fun for both the gift giver, and gift receiver.

Great for a stocking stuffer, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or even for allowance. So fun to both play with or watch someone open. We have actually used it to see who could open it quicker.
You can find the Money Maze on Amazon.

Follow The Money Maze

When you give your next gift – whether it’s a gift card, a pair of concert tickets, some jewelry or good old fashioned legal tender – say so long to the plain vanilla envelope and load your loot into the Money Maze Old School Puzzle instead.

Frustratingly Phenomenal Fun: This cute little non-toxic 3x3x3 box that comes in four cool colors is the new way to show you care. Whether you’re a grandma giving the grandkids their first $20 or you’re a husband who wants to have a little fun while you give your wife that bracelet she’s been eyeing, this is how you want to do it. Challenge them to use a little ingenuity to finally get their hands on the gift they’ll love so much. They may give you the evil glare while they’re desperately trying to find the solution, but then, that’s half the fun!

Everyone Is Fair Game:
Young and old alike will be thrilled when you hand them this box of joy. You may have to wait for the goofy grin until after they find their way through the labyrinth, but it’ll be worth the wait for sure. This is completely safe for kids because it’s non-toxic, but we recommend it for ages six and up because younger toddlers may not appreciate the chase. You can even choose from five difficulty levels depending on just how hard you want the recipient to work.
