Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum




What I love about The Valentia brand is that most if not all of their products are Made in the USA and are Vegan friendly. For our family this is a way to get a big thumbs up almost right away.

This is a new to me product which is used in the evening after your facial cleansing but before your lotion and or eye care products.

I use just 2 pumps to do my whole face. I know my face is really enjoying a little pampering now that I am getting older. Hard to believe in about two weeks I will be 44.  Most of the time they think I am sisters with my daughters and one time they actually carded me and not my daughter. That was a win win day for me.



This Valentia face care product can be found on Amazon.

Woobamboo



This is my first bamboo toothbrush. There really is nothing different about the use or results of this toothbrush other then being better for our earth. As in it will break down faster then a plastic toothbrush. This I like. Our family tries to be a eco friendly as possible, so why not try a new toothbrush that isn't any more expensive then other toothbrushes but is more eco friendly.

Most of the time I use an electronic toothbrush but I do usually have a manual toothbrush around for myself just in case, like in our downstairs bathroom for quick tooth brushings before running out the door.

This bamboo toothbrush can be found on Amazon.

Inspire. Innovate. Change the World!
WooBamboo Eco-Awesome Toothbrushes are a stylish and eco friendly alternative to the typical landfill-cluttering plastic toothbrush. They are made with bamboo that's sustainable, organically grown, biodegradable, antimocrobial, and panda-friendly!

If you love the Canine kind and love adult coloring books this might be one for your. I was a bit disappointed because they didn't have a Saint Bernard inside to color but to get every dog would take a big book.

Great for downtime or just fun anytime. Think colorful pens, markers, and pencils, just like when you were a child.

Let’s Eat Together



Being parents for quite some time we are always looking for ways to show our children table manners as well as keeping it family friendly.

We eat around the dinner table most nights as a family all together, starting with blessing our food before us.

Usually during dinner time we catch up on the day's events with our children, remind them of upcoming events, as well as checking in on them to see how they are doing.

We have lots of laughs but sometimes we even have some major discussions about things in the world.

This placemat can help your child learn to help with getting dinner ready, their manners, as well as keeping them occupied while adults are talking. They can even jot down their ideas so when it is their turn they don't forget what they want to bring up during dinner.

I think this is a great idea for both families just starting the dinner time routine or those who have been doing for years. We give this item a thumbs up.

The chart can be found on Amazon.



What the Victoria Chart Company has to say about their product. 

To help parents and carers maximise their children’s mealtime experience, our double sided dry erase ‘Let’s Eat Together’ placemat (11 x 18 inches and includes a pen) is a fun, interactive tool that children just love to complete after a meal.  Side one provides a check off system encouraging children to learn their table manners and side two provides fun activities to play at the table after a meal.
Side one:  some of the ‘table manners’ include:
  • I helped set the table
    I have washed my hands before eating
    I didn’t talk with food in my mouth
    No playing gadgets at the table
    I helped clear the table
Side two:  some of the ‘activities’ include:

  • What’s your best loved? (choose a theme such as animals, letters, food and then discuss why)
    What makes you feel? (happy, excited, proud, worried or tired and then discuss why)
    Animal alphabet fun (see if you can complete the alphabet naming an animal for each letter)
    What’s the opposite of? (think of some fun, simple words suitable to your child’s age)
    Just doodle
