One Christmas Bear board book

My youngest was so excited for the snow and for Christmas. This little book shows our youngest crew that not all gifts are toys. These cute little wintery animals are so excited to be with each other. (this is how I took it) Teaches counting with a cute rhyming story. Each page has a new number from 1-10. The favorite page around here is the 6 candy canes. I don't know how many packs of candy canes we have gone through. Why don't you grab this little book, sit down with your little ones and enjoy the snowy day with polar bear and husky.

Cave Tools Meat Tenderizer

So, to be honest, I had never used a meat tenderizer before. This tool is actually sort of neat. Before getting this tool, we would use a fork or knife to poke at the meat and then soak it in the marinade. It was a hit or miss as to whether it would taste like the marinade or just the meat. I was surprised with the way this actually made the meat taste better. My husband wasn't as quick to grab the ketchup or A1. Now, this has 48 VERY sharp blades. This should not be used by the younger crowd. This is only my opinion. Why should you try a meat tenderizer? A meat tenderizer can help break down the connective tissues in the meat. It reduces cook times, allows the meat to cook evenly, it absorbs the marinade quicker and softens up the meat. What is the difference between a blade tenderizer and a mallet style? The blade type pierces the meat and tenderizes while the mallet tenderizer uses force and usually just flattens the meat and breaks down the connective tissues. Both

Boudreaux's Butt Paste

When you have a baby, there are so many choices to make. WHAT BOTTLE TO USE? WHAT DIAPER IS GOING TO HOLD MORE? BREAST OR BOTTLE? WHAT DO I DO WHEN I GO BACK TO WORK? Shouldn't at least 1 question be easy? IF MY BABY GETS DIAPER RASH, WHAT CREAM SHOULD I USE?? Boudreaux's is nice and thick. However, it goes on smoothly. Baby girl developed a diaper rash over the Christmas break. We pulled out Boudreaux's Butt Paste and she was covered properly. The only active ingredient in Boudreaux's is Zinc Oxide 40% I have to say that I was impressed. Now, it's not going to heal the diaper rash immediately BUT it helps cover the rashed area and keep it from getting worse. Just gently wipe the rashed area and let dry. Once dry, apply the paste liberally. Then put diaper back on. Help turn those baby tears into a peaceful rest... I will definitely look for this in the baby isle, next time we have a diaper rash comi
