Grinding you Beans






Some people like to grind their own beans be it by manual method or with an electric grinder. We don't have an electric grinder but we do have a few manual grinders. My husband love the simplicity of having already ground coffee but he enjoys the taste of fresh ground coffee even more.

This coffee grinder is both easy to put together and use which is a plus when someone who loves coffee needs a cup quick.

Yes it will take a while to grind your beans but the taste will be worth it. At least that is what my husband says. I am more of a tea and cocoa drinker myself.



You can find this grinder on Amazon.

What Cozyna has to say about their product.

PRECISE AND CONSISTENT GRIND: With a Ceramic Conical Burr, rust free, with wide range, one can grind from espresso to French press

ADJUSTABLE GRIND SIZE: No need to unscrew the entire grinder in order to adjust the grind size. Simply turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise in order to reach perfect size for any coffee drink such as espresso, drip, french press, cold drip, and other

A Light to Lead the Way




This is a great item to have with the coming cold months ahead. During power outages it is nice to have candles but with children around a light lantern is a safer option. 

I love that this has so many uses from just a regular light to see by to a flashing light, SOS light, red light, and red flashing. 

Great for camping, fishing, emergencies, power outages, or just for fun for the kids to use at night. Works on 3 D batteries not included. This can be sat on a surface or hung if needed. 

This is also waterproof which is nice for those who are fishing, in a boat, or heaven forbid in a flood. Easy to use with several settings depending on your needs.

Toys for Kitties



Our kitties are always busy bringing in birds, frogs, rats, mice, moles, chipmunks, squirrels, and just about any other animal they can can actually drag into our house, but when all is said and done they still love to play with their man made toys like this Feathered Catnip toy by Pet Premier. Actually before I even had them out of the package they were trying to get to them. I had all I could do to snap a picture before they were off playing with them all over the house.

Love seeing my pets happy and content. These are really cute, and the feather on the tail is great as well. I think mainly that my kitties couldn't care less what it looks like as long as it has catnip inside. These still show up every now and then around the house and our kitties will again start playing with them so they have lasted a bit longer then others we have had in the past.

You can find the Feathered Catnip toy on Amazon.
