EVERYONE should own this First Aid Kit!!


With two wild and crazy boys, we are always in need of some sort of first aid item!

This first aid kit has it all and then some!

It is small and lightweight. I will definitely be packing it with us anytime we head out with the cub scouts!

Inside you'll find all of the usual stuff like band-aids, antibacterial ointment and gauze. What I was surprised to find was tweezers, scissors, a compass, a glow stick, a sewing kit, a disposable raincoat, a CPR mask and a disposable emergency blanket!


When I say it has it all and then some, I am not kidding!

I plan to keep it in my van at all times. I figure that way whether the kids fall outside in the yard or out on the soccer field, I will be prepared!

Right now this awesome kit is under $24 on Amazon!

Check it out on Amazon.

LED light Therapy is THE best at home skin treatment!!!


I have been reading about at home LED light therapy for several years. The equipment has always been CRAZY expensive! Until now!! Rejuven Light is under $90 on Amazon right now!

I was super excited to have been chosen to test and review this machine.

Right off I was impressed with the way it was packaged. Everything was perfectly placed in the box with satin lining. 

In the box is the handheld device, protective goggles, a plug and four different light attachments.

The benefits of each light are as follows:

  • Red - Brightens and evens the skin tone. Proliferates collagen protein and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It firms and repairs damaged skin.
  • Yellow - Relieves irriration and aims to enhance the immunity within the skin. It also stimulates the lymphatic and nervous system to rid the skin of toxins and increase circulation. this treatment is best used on swollen and sensitive skin.
  • Blue - Kills bacterium from within the skin while diminishing inflammation and preventing acne and breakouts.
  • Green - Calms and balances skin tone. It helps breakdown and prevent uneven pigment production. 
Treatment is simple. You pick the LED attach it to the wand. Glide it over your face focusing on one area at a time for 2 - 3 minutes.

I was expecting it to get warm or be uncomfortable but it wasn't. 

There was no irritation afterwards.  I always apply a vitamin C serum afterwards along with a moisturizer.

I have been using it everyday for almost two weeks and I have already noticed plumping. My "11"s are still there but definitely reduced.

Rechargeable Gooseneck Lamp Goes where you need it!



This little light is so cool!


It has two little adjustable lights with three different settings. 

Its great to clip on to a workbench since you can bend the light right where you need it.  Although the lights are small they are REALLY bright and focus directly where they are pointed.


Working in a cabinet or closet is completely lit up thanks to this little light.

My son likes to take it into his reading nook. 

It charges with a USB cable so no batteries or plug to drag around. 


Check it out on Amazon.

Taco Tuesday the EASY way!


Around our house Tuesdays are for tacos! Yeah, just like in the Lego Movie!

Making tacos is a pain in my butt. Logan loves them. He requires that I put each ingredient on the table so that he can assemble his tacos the way he wants. That means a lot of dishes. But it makes him happy so of course I do it. I am such an awesome mom! 

Back to Logan assembling his own taco. He loves doing it but he gets all kinds of pissed every time the shell falls over. He seems surprised each and every time! It has become comical, if we don't laugh, oh we will most certainly be driven insane! 

Back to Logan assembling his own taco, AGAIN! I know how much he loves being independent and creating his very own taco creation so I had to find a way to make it a little less aggravating for him. 

Enter the taco holder! 

We used it for the first time this week and everyone's' tacos stayed standing! It was a sight to behold!

We used it for hard and soft tacos. It worked great! I'm a bit ashamed that it has taken me this long to get on board with these things!

Liam's favorite food right now is hot dogs. Guess what?! We will be using the taco holders to keep Liam's hot dogs from rolling over this weekend!

They are dishwasher safe and even oven safe! They store easily by stacking them!

Not just a desk lamp!!


Can you keep a secret? My 5 year old is afraid of the dark.

He doesn't want anyone to know. Its so cute and pitiful. The only way I figured it out was one night it had gotten darker than usual by the time they were getting to bed. I heard him sobbing. Literally, sobbing in his bed. It was heartbreaking! He wouldn't tell me what was wrong. I wracked my brain. I felt so helpless.

Then it happened again a week later. Exactly the same situation and the same reaction. I got him a flashlight and turned on the hall light. He was able to settle down and get to sleep. Poor baby!

When I saw this dimmable lamp with a clamp, I knew it would be perfect for him!

When it came I clamped it to his bed. He tested it out. It is really easy to operate, just by gliding your hand over the top it turns on. It is really the ideal solution for him.

Overall, this is a great lamp. The neck is very flexible. The lamp head even comes off if you need it to by just unscrewing the joint. It becomes a handheld flashlight or a camp light.

You can set the brightness to suit your situation. It even has a built in memo0ry function so that it returns to the last setting you used. How awesome is that?!

No need for plugs. Just charge it with a USB adapter!

Check it out on Amazon.

Don't let the multiplying cables and cords control your life!


I have a thing about wire and cables and cords hanging and dangling everywhere, it really pisses me off!
 
Now, since everyone in the house has at least one tablet and/or phone and they ALL need to be charged daily. Daily charging means that the cords can never be put away. There can never be just one or two cords.

I had to find a way to at least feel like I am in control of this situation. The cables and cords will not control my world!

Then I found the answer. Cable clips!

These little guys attach with a 3M adhesive backing to any surface. I have a few on the table next to my bed. That place is where cables go to multiply! It has become a bit shameful, honestly.

They are super easy to put on any surface. They hold your cords in place so that when you need them you aren't like me crawling under the damn bed to find the end of the plug. Its waiting for you right where you left it.

But don't stop with corralling cables! You can use these to hold your pen in place. Use it for headphone wires.

These handy dandy little guys keep things neat and orderly. One more crisis averted!

Burgers made easy!


Around our house we eat a lot of burgers. With summer comes grillin' and that means even more burger eatin'!
 
I really like my new Kogood hamburger press. This thing makes the perfect sized patties everytime!
 
This isn't your average burger maker. You form the burger squish it with the press and you can leave it at that and pop it out by pushing the bottom up. Or you can get crazy and put some deliciousness on top and then add some more meat and finish it off with the press. Everything is all squished together and ready for the grill.
 
But hang on, we also like sliders, you know those little burgers. My kids really like them, they fit perfectly in their hands. This press has a slider former too! The bottom pushes the formed patty right up to the top without it tearing apart.
 
 In addition to all of that greatness, I also appreciate the fact that all of the pieces fit inside of each other for storing.

Practice makes Mom Tired!


Both of my boys love playing soccer. Since they are boys, they are VERY competitive.  They want to be the best at everything. I love that but I don't love playing soccer myself!
 
This soccer trainer is perfect! They are both able to use it although it is pretty loose on Liam, he's 5.
 
By using this it helps to improve their reflexes and improves their control.

My 8 year old has recently become interested in learning tricks. Its pretty exhausting chasing the ball around. He tends to get frustrated and ends up mad. With this trainer, he is able to keep the ball close by and just pull it in  with the strap and keep working on his moves.

We used this with a size 3 ball and it popped out almost constantly. The number 4 ball would bounce out with a strong kick but mostly stayed in. The number 5 ball even popped out after a strong kick. We had the straps around the ball as tight as it would go to try to avoid the issue but nothing seemed to help.
