Peppermint Oil 1oz

Image
Have you ever used any essential oils? Different oils have different uses. Some of the oils are used for tummy aches. Some for helping you sleep. Some for helping you feel rejuvenated and give you energy. Whatever the oil you choose or need, make sure that you are using it as directed. Peppermint oil, not only smells good, but can help relieve those pesky headaches. Just drip a little onto your finger and rub on your temples. This does not replace pain meds or doctors visits. But can reduce a headache to almost nothing. Have a sore throat? Rub a little onto your finger or into your hand and apply around your throat. Let it sit for a few minutes and the scratchy should be relieved. We put this in the humidifier when the baby gets a runny nose or when my allergies kick in. It helps open up the airways to help breathe. Last time I had a serious headache/migraine, I rubbed a little on my temples and my wrists. In about 45 min, with Motrin and a heat pack, I was feeling a lot bet

Office Depots National Backpack Program

Image
So many kids go back to school with no backpack and no supplies. There are so many ministries and companies now that try to help with this desperate need. My kids have been blessed with some of these ministries in the past. I am very happy to post about opportunities like these! National Backpack Program – 16th Anniversary For children to succeed in school, they need to have the right tools: pencils, pens, crayons and such – and something to carry them in, of course. With these in hand, they can walk out the door each morning with a sense of pride – excited about the day ahead. Unfortunately, millions of kids are far from properly equipped for school. In fact, untold numbers of youngsters head out in the morning with nothing but a plastic bag or a pillowcase to carry their books and school supplies in – if they even have any supplies to carry. The Office Depot Foundation has worked exceptionally hard to change this troubling reality. By donating great-looking new sack pack

Color Code Bible

Image
This is actually a neat way to Bible for kids. This Bible is done in the New King James Version. Sometimes I feel like the King James Version is hard to understand, even as an adult. But, I think they did a great job for kids. The back of the Bible shows how the pages are color coded for easy finds. The topics/colors are: Gold: God Navy: Sin, evil, Red: Jesus Orange: washed clean from sin, new life Green: growth in your new life as a Christian and Faith Walk Blue: Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Purple: Heaven You can purchase this Color Coded Bible for $20.01 https://www.amazon.com/Color-Code-Bible-Thomas-Nelson/dp/0718087526/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470863094&sr=8-1&keywords=color+code+Bible Or Through Faith Gateway for $24.99 http://store.faithgateway.com/the-color-code-bible?spMailingID=51824063&spUserID=NTcwOTU0NDc2MTkS1&spJobID=961808889&spReportId=OTYxODA4ODg5S0 Check out all their other great books at https://

Live Infinitely Exercise Ball (purple)

Image
We did not use this, a lot, for an exercise ball. My youngest has sensory integration disorder and uses one of these in her Occupational Therapy sessions. Her OT recommended her getting one of these for her to use at home. I was so excited to get this ball. It is ribbed, also. She loves to just rub her hand all over the ball. When she is feeling overwhelmed, we lay her on the ground and roll the ball over her with slight pressure and she is good to go. My daughter also rolls over the top, with assistance and gets the pressure she needs. For the exercise part. My oldest has gone to sitting on this, as a chair, for dinner. Her way of getting just a tad bit of exercise. I have heard of people trading in their office chairs for these balls. It sounds like it would be a great idea. This ball does come with the air pump piece. This company has some great therapy and exercise products. Check out Live Infinitely on Amazon for all their other great products! You can purchase t

Package of 6 Cloth Storage Bins (Gray)

Image
So many decorating and decluttering ideas, begin with storage bins. Storage bins can be found at almost any retailers. I have seen 3 or 4 different sizes and lots of different colors. We have used our 6 bins in different rooms of the house. My husband and I took 2 for the shelf in the bathroom. We have 2 larger bins on the bottom shelf that hold pads, panty liners and more. Then we have the 2 gray ones on the next shelf up to hold toilet paper, toothpaste and toothbrushes. Bins are wonderful to hide things that you don't want seen. My oldest daughter took 1 for her little girls toy shelf. It was a great way to store little toys. My middle daughter took 1 to put in her sewing stuff. So many different ways to be used. With the handles on the sides, you can transport from room to room. We used to keep diapers and wipes in one. That way the other kids could bring it to us as needed. Would also be great for the kitchen. Store packets of food products or spices. Great to

Now Born Baby Towel with Puppy Design

Image
I am so impressed with this baby bath towel. Most baby bath towels are thin and barely soak up any water. This one holds as much as any adult bath towel does. I would totally use it, if it was bigger. Both our 1 year old grandbaby and our 3 year old daughter (yes, you read that right), loved it. This cute orange puppy dog towel is super soft. Perfect for new baby skin. I was impressed with it's size also. This not your ordinary baby bath towel and I would love to get a couple more. Would make a great baby shower gift. You can use for either boy or girl. Everyone loves puppies :) You can purchase this puppy towel for $21.97 https://www.amazon.com/Hooded-Bath-Towel-Puppy-Orange/dp/B01D6VINVC?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 The 90cm x 60cm towel size is not too big, not too small... Its just right.

Slammers Snack Pouches To Go

Image
I know that I said this in a recent post but we are a family who is always on the go. I am always in search of a new snack to keep on hand. It is nice to be able to grab and go. I can't always afford to stop somewhere to get the kids a treat. It gets way to expensive and with 10 people in the house, it's a no go. With all that said, Slammers are a great treat. I love that it is on the healthier side. Sometimes the quick snacks aren't so healthy. Slammers come in: Awesome- Acai, strawberry and apple Chill'n- Banana, blueberry, Butternut squash, Greek yogurt, and, yumberry Epic- Bananas, carrots, mangos, greek yogurt and real vanilla Pumped- Banana, mango, butternut squash, antioxidant grains and cinnamon We liked them. You can eat them room temperature, shove them in the fridge or drop them in the freezer. I recommend that if you are going to be out for a long period of time that you drop yours in the freezer. That way, when you are ready to eat t

Welchs Fruit Snacks

Image
Our 3 little ones could live on fruit snacks if we would let them. I love the ease of having them. Quick car ride, take a few packs. After nap treat, pass them a pack. Need a snack for work, toss a pack in your purse. Literally, anyone can eat these. You can do so many things with fruit snacks. You can add to jello, use as cake toppings, toss in a peanut butter sandwich instead of jelly. You can even put in a mix with peanuts, raisins, cheese crackers and more. The possibilities are endless. How do you like to eat your fruit snacks?!

Baby Pinch Boutique Chew Choo's Cutie Pie Silicone Necklace

Image
We love our "chewies" in this house. My youngest daughter (3) has Sensory Processing Disorder, anxiety disorder and ADHD. With all of these, and more, we carry "chewies" everywhere. It is nice to find companies that are sensory friendly and that carry different colors and designs. These 2 designs from Baby Pinch are delicate and unique. My grandbaby likes this set too. M7y oldest daughter can put this necklace on ,while nursing, and it keeps her busy. Helps not get baby hands in the mouth. So easy to clean. Just hot water and soap, then hang dry. These necklace designs dry so quickly. The first picture makes the colors look dull. But here is the picture with flash to show what the colors actually look like 100% Safe for babies: Eco-friendly food-grade FDA-approved silicone; Chew-Choos are free of BPAs, Phthalates, cadmium, lead, latex or any other harmful toxins.
