My families memories are safe!


We are always looking for flash drives there just never seem to be enough! They're like batteries, when you need them the most they're gone!

This is such a great value!

For under $23 I got 10 1gb thumb drives. They are so great! They have several color and size options available.

Now I have my pictures organized and safe. I am a little bit ridiculous about the possibility of loosing pictures and videos. I have the drives in a fire safe box. Otherwise, I would be the idiot you hear about running back it to save the computer in a house fire!

Check it out on Amazon.

Confinement to the backseat isn't SO bad...


The biggest problem that we have when we take our dog anywhere in the van? He is huge, that means he can not be contained anywhere in the van. He is all over the place. It is really unsafe, obviously, but it is also distracting to me the driver because the boy are constantly yelling at him. Eww, Finley is drooling! Why is Finley walking around? Why is Finley barking?

I have attached his leash to the seat belt. He finds a way to tangle himself up or somehow get stuck somewhere. 
I am thrilled to be using these seat belt harnesses! They are really well made. The clip swivels to prevent tangling. They clip right into the seat belt latch in the van. 

Since they are adjustable, I can make them as long or as short as I need them to be. We have used them a few times and they have worked really well. 

Finley is now forced to stay in the back of the van. No more roaming freely. Sorry, bud!

Check it out on Amazon.

Adorable teethers!


Teethers are a big part of a babies life, at least for a little bit. I love that these teethers are so fun and such bright colors.

They are big and flexible for baby to work those motor skills. Each one has a different texture for baby to enjoy.

They are dishwasher safe and freezer safe - Bonus!

In addition to the teethers they also include a gum cleaner.

Of course they are 100% baby safe, DUH! They are to quality food grade FDA approved materials, BPA free, not toxic and latex free.

Check it out on Amazon.

Awesome beginner bow!!


Since we have moved out of the city, we have gotten a bit countrified. Its a good thing as far as I'm concerned. 

We have slowed down, almost to a crawl. We used to go go go all the time, going no where most of the time, but always going.

We haven't become hunters, but we have been surrounded by hunters. We have learned to appreciate the sport. We have developed an interest in shooting, not so much hunting.

Our boys have bow and arrows and TONS of nerf guns (thanks Granny). We have 2 acres for them to play and shoot, we never had that in the city.

When I got the opportunity to test out a REAL Recurve Bow, I was all over it! 

Let me tell you about this awesome bow! 

First, it is really hard to get the string on it, REALLY hard. We had to watch a video to figure it out. We had to re-watch the video, a lot, to figure it out. Now, someone who has done it before would likely have no issue at all, but we were noobs.

Other than that little hick-up, it was really easy to assemble. It is heavier than I expected. Neither of my kids could use it, maybe a teenager that knew what he/she was doing would be fine with it but I can't imagine anyone much younger than 12 would be able to use it.

I have really enjoyed learning to use it and look forward to improving and teaching our boys to use a REAL bow!

This bow is really well made and for under $100, I think its a great deal! Check it out on Amazon.

Stuck it, Sucked it - Forgot about it!


Every mom knows with the change of each season comes the rotation of the clothes.

This is particularly true when you have children of the same sex. We are in that club. With three boys of different ages, things need to be packed for the next child and labeled with the appropriate size and season. I need to be able to quickly and easily locate the next batch. I need to know that they are stored in a bug free container.

Boxes are big and bulky. Boxes let bugs in, they let critters in, they let moisture in and I can't risk that! Clothes are WAY too expensive!

I have used vacuum bags in the past and have been disappointed repeatedly. Yes, I keep going back for more! My husband thinks I'm a damn fool! I have confidence that SOMEONE will get this vacuum bag thing right! Its a great concept!
The problem I always have is the closure at the top, they never seem to seal completely, they never stay sealed. Okay, maybe I put in TOO many clothes, WHATEVER!

These bags, however, seem to be the exception to the broken seals! They close very well and when I sucked out the air, it stayed out! WOO HOO!

They also seem to be thicker than the ones that I have used in the past. 

The bundle that I ordered on Amazon has 3 extra large, 3 large and 2 medium bags and its under $20! Well worth it! 

Once everything is in, I use a marker and a piece of card stock, I label the size and season and stick it in the attic. See ya in a couple of years!

Impressive Cutting Board!


My cutting board had seen better days, much better. To be honest, it was probably harboring all sorts of nasty bacteria.

This cutting board by La Mia Cucina is much nicer than I could have expected! 

It is extra large, 17.5 x 12 to be exact! That is pretty darn big! 

The other day we made tacos. Everyone likes to make their own and no one wants their food to "mingle" with other foods. I was able to chop the lettuce and tomato and have it completely separated on the board.

It is made of organic bamboo which is eco friendly and harder and more durable than wood.  Since its been specially treated it discourages the growth of bacteria!
Overall, this is a great cutting board and an excellent value. Check it out on Amazon.

The High Pressure Nozzle that wasn't...


I was really excited about this nozzle, I mean, come on just look at it! That is one sexy looking nozzle, don't you think? This thing is gorgeous! Its super heavy duty with a durable metal body and trigger. Its covered with a high-quality PVC to protect it against rust and corrosion. 
The trigger fits comfortably in your hand.

Beyond the look and feel of the nozzle, I know nothing.

Know why? Because I can't use it!

Know why? Because it didn't come with the quick release connector for the hose. Its shown on the box and it is suppose to be included, but it wasn't.

I e-mailed the company 2 weeks ago when i received the nozzle but I haven't gotten a response.

If I do get the connector, I will be sure to update my review. I'm sure its a great nozzle. Check out the dog in the picture! He's having a great time!

Exercise rollers are AWESOME!


As someone who doesn't workout regularly, I struggle with sore muscles after even the shortest workout.

I use this roller to help extend my stretches in a gentle way. 

It is really well made and I have noticed that it doesn't give under pressure.

They have three colors available, black, a sea foam blue and pink.

I typically keep it under my desk. Sounds odd, right? But I spend a lot of time at the computer and I am able to roll it under my feet. I use it with my feet flat and with my feet on the sides. It feels really good. Its like having a tiny masseuse under my desk.

Lucky for me that my kids like to see momma happy. They ask me to lay down so that they can roll it over my back. They will be amazing husbands one day!

I haven't even tapped on all of the uses for this roller.


Check it out on Amazon.
