One item I didn't get from my mother when she passed was her crocheting supplies. It wasn't something I thought about until a hole started in the afghan she made me when I was a wee one. Since then our girls and myself have taken knitting and crochet classes, and even though we aren't pros we can make a few things on our own.
Both knitting and crocheting are much easier than you would think. Having the right items for the job is a must and even though one simple hook, or needles will start you on your craft, if you decide to do more you will need different sizes and other materials along the way to learning more.
The set I was sent is a 10 piece set of bamboo handled crochet needles which are very easy to use and go all the way down to the tiny size to make pretty things like lace doilies.
You can find these crochet hooks on Amazon.

One thing I have love about baking is using Silicone baking mats. Wish they were here growing up. My mother wasn't much of a baker so what I do I learned mainly on my own with little tips over the years from here and there.
I swore being a mom I would teach all of my children to cook, bake, and grill. So far we have made that happen. Everyone loves to try new foods, baking, cooking, grilling.
Silicone mats are one thing that is uses in the kitchen in several ways from baking, cookie cutting, rolling dough, and play mats for the kids when they are playing with play doh.
You can find the PhatMat on Amazon.

Usually I don't enjoy mango but I have to say in this Salsa it worked and it was gobbled up. My husband who doesn't like anything but regular salsa even gave it a try and said he really enjoyed it. That is totally out of his comfort zone so for him to say it was good was a big surprise.
At our home we go through lots of salsa because it is used almost as often as ketchup. We like to change it up a bit from time to time and this Mango Salsa from Salsa Crazy is just the ticket to new and exciting dishes for our pallets.
You can find this Mango Salsa on Amazon.

When your feet aren't looking their best say after a long winter of thick socks, boots, and dry skin, then you might need to treat your feet to some tender loving care with an electric nail file. My husband calls this pedi paws for people.
We actually used this on my husband's feet once but the dead skin was so much we didn't show that video we have the video which you can see on YouTube under MarksvilleandMe under the product name the second time through which was about a week after the first treatment.
His feet have never looked this healthy and good. He could almost pull off wearing a pair of heels. We did the review using his feet because if it made his feet look better then we knew it would work for us girls.
This Magnifeco Electronic Foot File is rechargeable, comes with two heads, a brush, a cover for the head, and AC charger. Works great and something we look forward to using to keep our feet healthy and ready for sandals all year round.
You can find this Electric foot file on Amazon.
What Bella Naturals has to say about their product.
Love the cute look of those strappy sandals but wouldn't dare let anyone see your calluses and the rough patches on your feet? You could visit the salon multiple times to get that skin scraped away, but who has the time and the money for that? At home, you can spend hours rubbing at your feet with pumice or manual files and shavers, but you're likely to just end up with raw, red skin and a sore, aching wrist.
Fortunately, there is a way for you to get silky, soft feet that you'll be proud to flaunt all summer long and beyond. The Naturalico Callus Remover is the answer!Naturalico is a foot exfoliation tool that gently lifts away dead skin and minimizes calluses. Less abrasive and much faster than manual files and pumice stones, the tool costs less than what you'd pay for professional pedicures to remove that unsightly skin.
With its powerful motor, our foot file spins a full 360° at speeds of 40 turns per second. That's faster than competitors' tools and means you'll remove more skin every second. There are two speeds from which to choose for customizing treatment. Plus, our file is rechargeable, sparing you the cost and the planet the waste of replacement batteries.
Using the Callus Remover couldn't be easier. Start with dry skin. Turn on the unit. Gently move it along your foot, pausing over rough spots and calluses. The integrated LED light will help you see those trouble spots with ease for improved effectiveness. When you're done, rinse your feet with warm water and then apply a body lotion or moisturizing foot cream. Your feet will feel softer and smoother each and every time with calluses diminishing gradually session after session.
Completely transform your feet from rough and unsightly to smooth and stunning. Get ready to flaunt pretty feet this sandal season. Order the Naturalico Rechargeable Electronic Pedicure Foot File and Callus Remover today!

What a cute little set for your little one to be able to mimic what their parents do. We love the wet sign the best, but all of the pieces are great representations of the full size product. The only thing you need to put together is the mop all of the other pieces are ready to play with.
This would make a great companion to a kitchen center, or a play vacuum cleaner. Set is sized for a smaller child my 7 year old had to bend over to use the mop but all other products were sized well.
