Don't be caught with a dead battery


My husband was super surprised by how small this jump starter was and how much it can do besides just jump starting your vehicle. From a flashlight, SOS, to charging capabilities this is a really nice piece of equipment to have.

Think about your teen or college drivers out there, we want them to be able to get home safely and having one of these in their vehicles can be a great resource for some emergencies.

I love that this is so light. The jump starters we have had in the past are huge, heavy, and bulky, plus they don't fit anywhere and just roll around the vehicle but this one can be tucked into a glove compartment, under a seat, or in some pouch at the back of your car for safe keeping when it is needed.

You can find this compact jump starter on Amazon.

Cycling Gloves with LED Signal Light


I don't ride a bike very often OK to be honest not in the last 25 plus years of marriage but I would love to get out there and ride with my children. My husband is afraid I will fall and get hurt, but maybe if I start off riding in the grass and work my way up to riding on the road again he will be fine with that.

Either way these gloves are fantastic for my girls, or myself to use. My husband with huge hands is actually wearing them in the pictures. They did fit him but they were a little snug. He is more of a XXL in gloves but he was able to get them on for review purposes. They fit me fine and with my 12 year old having hands bigger than myself these will fit her even better.

We have been trying to teach our children how to ride on the roads more carefully. We live rurally so they are used to just riding wherever but if we ever move they have to be ready for how it is to drive with more traffic. That means actually wearing a helmet, using signals to turn, and everything else that comes with riding a bike.

These gloves are great they have nice grip, fit well, and the lights are fantastic for either night or day.

These gloves can be found in two colors on Amazon.


What Ohuhu has to say about their product.

~Makes Night Riding Safe - increases your visibility and communicates your turning intentions to other vehicles on the road
Easy & Simple to Use - All you need to do is to stretch out your arm and thumb up, let the turn signal gloves blink for a while and then turn
Smart Power Saving System - battery included (the LED lights will blink for 200 hours, which allows you to take about 400~500 thousand turns)

No More Rings




I have been looking for a nice set of coasters for quite sometime. In all of the years of being married which is over 25 years we have never owned a set, but being older, having kids, I now realize just how handy these little things are.

I am forever wiping my desk off from rings left from my cocoa, tea, and other drinks, but with a coaster I have had zero rings, except for once when I spilled some out of my cup on accident. I love how these coasters grip the area they are protecting, they don't slip which is great. They have little ridges that collect tiny bits of liquid so it doesn't end up on surface of where it is sitting.

This set had 6 coasters and a holder that keeps them all corralled in between use. I like this set because it goes with my scroll wrought iron kitchen accents.

This coaster set can be found on Amazon.


There's not a whole lot to describe about the product since it is so basic. It is simply a set of coasters used to set drinks on. They're black and made of silicone. They have a very sleek and aesthetic design which gives any room a subtle modern accent.

Healthy Hair is a brush away




This is a rather awesome piece of equipment and one my husband is excited to see the results from. This can be used by those who have hair loss or just by those who would like to make their hair healthier. I am using it for the later and my husband is using it for hair loss. We both brush our hair for 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night. That is all it takes and one you have done this for 30 - 60 days you can start to just do this every other day.

The best part if you don't see results you can get your money back.

Happy New Year



Goals for 2016, I never really sat down and did goals for 2015 other than personal goals and I pretty much did them all except for losing weight and even though I read the Bible more I didn't read it nearly as much as I should.

2015 has been one hell of year for us. Even though things were rough we did have good things happen to us such as my husband graduating from college, my third child graduating from college. My mother in law pulling through her operation and finally moving away from their bothersome neighbors.

We have kept a roof over our heads and our children haven't gone to bed hungry. We have each other and our children know we love them unconditionally. They also know we are always here for them and they always have a place in our home.

My blog has more than doubled, no big money but it is still a work in progress, the money has always been a secondary to me just blogging about our family and reviews, so if it comes it would be wonderful, if not then that is fine too.

We were given bad news the other day but hope that 2016 will have something good in store for our family other than the stress we have had for the last 6 months. We always try to see the bright side and for me that has been hard for the first time in my life these last 6 months and even more so with the news we were recently given.

I am the optimistic to my husband pessimistic which evens our marriage our quite well. Now I need him to be the optimistic one until I regain my own optimism.

So I guess what I am looking for in the next year is for us to be able to get back on our feet and that my husband's disability claim goes through so we can pay our bills. I will continue to pray for our children, friends, family, and the world.

Our family wishes peace, love, and good tidings to everyone for 2016. 

Happy New Year!
