LED Flashlight with Magnetized Base Review

Image
This great camping flashlight is the best! My son and husband have raved about this flashlight since it came in the mail. They thought that it looked like it was going to be just a flimsy flashlight. But low and behold, it is VERY sturdy! My guys are not gentle on anything and this has withstood their treatment. They have tossed it in the tacklebox and in the bottom of the boat. It has 3 great modes for use. 1. LED flashlight 2. flashing white LED lights on the side 3. Flashing red LED lights The flashlight comes with an anodized aluminum body which is resistant to various elements of weather This AYL flashlight is made from durable aluminum with a magnetized bottom. You can magnetize it to the fridge even. VERY bright light. You don't now have to worry that you will miss anything in the dark. With so many uses, you just can't go wrong! Great for fishing, camping, even just using on a car trip. In case of an emergency, you don't always have a flare handy. J

5 Reasons to Celebrate National Sibling Day

Friday, April 10 is National Siblings Day, a day for the 80 to 90 percent of Americans who have siblings to celebrate their brothers and sisters. Celebrating Siblings Day can be as easy as sending a card, sharing a meal or doing a favor for a sibling. “There is no relationship like the ones we have with our siblings,” said Montclair State University Family and Child Studies professor, Dr. Jonathan Caspi. A leading expert on sibling relationship dynamics, Caspi is the author of Sibling Aggression Treatment and Sibling Development: Implications for Mental Health Practitioners. He has identified five reasons to celebrate Siblings Day: 1.Siblings may have a greater influence on who we are or who we become than our parents and peers do, according to a growing body of research. Sibling relationships are intense relationships involving support, love, competition and conflict. Like it or not, so much of the way we handle relationships, closeness, competition, give support, argue, resolve c

Pick Geek Guitar and Bass Pick Set Review

Image
If you have a child who plays the guitar, then you know how many picks you go through. These disappear quicker than socks in the dryer. I didn't have to worry about her breaking the picks just losing them. But it is a good advertisement for Pick Geek because each of the picks have the logo and company name on them. Each tin of these picks would make a great gift. Birthdays, Christmas or for your child, how about their Easter basket. Yes, my older teens still get baskets. There are 32 picks in each cube. But 16 Picks in the tin we received. The little metal tin is about the size of a tin of mints and would fit anywhere. Just toss the tin in your pocket or guitar case. It snacks shut so that you don't have to worry about them falling all over your bag. The tin has what they are calling a click clack lid. Just push on the middle of the lid to click it open and push on the sides to clack it shut. Very simple. It was nice though that my 2 year old couldn't open her si

Dreamtown Toddler Pillow Review

Image
As most parent know, you can not put a pillow in a child's bed until they reach a certain age. Our little girl has loved my pillow for over a year now and she is 2. She has been very unhappy not having a pillow. When I saw the Dreamtown Pillow, I thought how perfect that would be that she can now have her own pillow. Chiropractic reviewed and recommended as little one's perfect first pillow. Contains less fill than most toddler pillows but still firm. Size 14x19 with poly/cotton 100% hypoallergenic blend cover and polyester filling. My daughter is absolutely loving her new pillow. I think she finally feels like one of the big people. It is the perfect size for her crib. It does not fit side to side in the crib for their is plenty of room for movement and not suffocation. You can purchase this awesome pillow with pillowcase for $18.99 from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Dreamtown-Kids-Hypoallergenic-Chiropractor-satisfaction/dp/B00KWR2BCQ/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid

She loved that she gets to write her own thoughts from the devotional. The book has other neat ways for your child to interact. We encourage prayer and definitely encourage our chi

Infuser Water Bottle Review

Image
I love the color of this bottle. Very bold red. Your water bottle will not be mistaken for anyone else's bottle. Gym or work get your bottle noticed! This infuser bottle has 4 main pieces. The lid, the fruit or veggie carrier, the "mesh" lid to veggie carrier and the bottle itself. Now if you would like to use the bottle without the infuser piece, it will work! All you would need to do is not screw in the infuser piece. This FlavFusion (TM) 25 oz Infuser Water Bottle has a neat feature, in that the lid locks. This is great with kids in the house. My cup is always empty because the kids walk by and grab my cup. I can lock the littler ones out of this one. Clearly shown are the locked and unlocked positions Fruit or veggie infused waters can do so much for your digestive system. Some infused recipes can help with weight loss. You should check some of the recipes out online to see which one works best for you. I like strawberry and kiwi the best. I tried cu

No-Tie Shoelaces by FastMile Review

Image
I hate to have to tie and retie my shoe laces. If they aren't tied then you walk on them and could trip. Which is definitely a danger. But I also don't want to wear Velcro shoes. Gone are the days of Velcro! Just buy these no tie shoe laces, which fit all sizes of shoes, and off you go. These come in black and white. I would love to see them start carrying bright colors too. I know my teen girls would buy a pair of those. Take out one of the elastic strings and lace your shoe. Over and under or straight across the shoe, it doesn't matter. When you get to the end of your shoe just thread through the knob. Once through there put into the bell shaped piece. Tie off and cut off the excess lace. Easy to use and easy to wear. We have athletic kids so this is great for their shoes. No more worrying about their shoes untying while running. Also great for pregnant women who can't reach their feet anymore. Just slide on your tennis shoes and you are good to go. Grea
