Fruitfuzer



Many of my readers know that our family has been fruit infusing water for some time now. Our new love is infusing tea and lemonade. Yummy!

My favorite in the fall is infusing Apple, cinnamon stick and tea. My all time favorite summer infused tea is peach or raspberry tea mixed with the opposite fruit.

This bottle is one of my favorite infuser bottles it is almost perfect. I have my favorite water bottle which keeps my drinks cold for days even in the hot sun, now I have my favorite so far water infuser.

So easy to use, put together, and clean. Love it.

No more messes




OK here's the story I was to receive these long handled ice cream spoons for a review, so I ordered them, never received them. Tracking says the UPS put the box on our outside porch. Well our UPS man always puts the boxes on our inside porch, and all of our other packages that day came with no problems, so I had to have the company send another set out because Amazon says they were delivered when they were not.

Amazon this time put them in with 6 other items and they have been in transit between New Jersey and my home which is a hop skip and jump away since September 3rd. I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with Amazon the other day to get them to ship the Spoons out yet again and the other 6 products I didn't get from the second order which are lost somewhere in the Twilight Zone. They are supposed to arrive on September 23rd. Let's just say I am not holding my breath.

No this isn't a bash on Amazon, things like this happen, and 99.9% of my other items have come on time if not early so I really can't complain all that much. So I am writing this until I can get the real review up about the spoons so that my information is up on time. I will return and edit this when the spoons come in to tell everyone how they are.

So here is the update Finally my spoons have arrived very long story but after two orders which were not the seller's problem they are here safe and sound. Love these spoons for ice cream sundaes. When we have ice cream sundaes we go all out with the tall ice cream sundae dishes, toppings, the works, right down the cherry on top. Having long handled spoons is a must to keep the fingers from getting all full of chocolate which I am sure wouldn't be much of a problem, but hey us moms try to keep our little ones clean when we can.

We also use these for Root Beer Floats which again we go all out with. We have the super large beer mugs that aren't used for anything other than Ice Cream Floats. My mother never really liked Root Beer Floats so she always got her with cola instead. I like to put orange soda in from time to time as well, but our family's all time favorite would be the Root Beer Float and again a long handed Ice Cream Spoon is needed to enjoy it correctly.

These Long Handled spoons are a little bit differently shaped than a Ice Tea Spoon which we have used from time to time if the Ice Cream spoons have been dirty. More rounded on then a egg shape, but not like a soup spoon either. I really like these spoons and they will make a great addition to our silverware. I received this product as part of a promotion in order to facilitate an honest and unbiased review.


You can find the ice cream spoons on Amazon.


Includes 8 high quality stainless steel long handle ice cream spoons. This set of ice cream spoons is designed to help reach to the bottom of deep ice cream mugs, bowls, sundae cups, and milkshakes.

Each spoons in this set is pressed out a solid sheet of steel, hand polished, and then inspected to ensure they are of the highest quality, polish, and functionality. Lot of work for an ice cream spoon set, but we want to ensure that we are providing your ice cream eating with the absolute best tools.

Each set includes 8 long handle bistro style ice cream spoons perfect for nearly any ice cream application.

These long handle spoons are also perfect for use as long handle tea spoons, long handle stirring spoons for large decanters and containers, and much more.

These long handle bistro style ice cream spoons are great for nearly any application that involves the need to stir or scoop ice cream or other food items, without getting your hands dirty, or making the food unsanitary.

Spa Sleepover Party in the making


We are gearing up for a big sleepover party for my daughters Birthday this year. Spa parties have gone over well so we thought we would do another one.

We don't like to share makeup, too many diseases can be spread that way so we try to make sure everyone has their own products to use. The little kits we are making are coming along really well.

These mini salon nail files are great because everyone gets their own, no sharing, and that way they will have one when they go home if they already didn't have one.

These are great for both home and professional use. They work great and fit in your purse or even wallet well for quick fix ups when a nail breaks.



You can find the mini files on Amazon.

These mini blue nail files are 3.5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. They fit well in your bag or in your pocket. We made the files out of high quality paper. The grits for this file are 120 on one side and 240 on the other. This makes them perfect for natural nails that need a quick fix. 
These file are intended to be used to touch up the nail. It is best used after the shaping has already been done to give your nail that seamless clean look.

Plants love this



Having a bigger garden this year made things a bit more interesting from breaking more ground, to keeping up with weeding, to making sure everything was watered properly. Having a garden hose with a good spray nozzle really helps in this department, not to mention that we can also wash our dog outside if we decided to.

I love the mist for my more delicate plants and the stronger flows for both washing the car, and outside gear. Easy to change between settings. I haven't used them all more than to try them but the mist is by far my favorite.

You can find the Careful Gardener Spray Gun on Amazon.
