Listen with Style

1 Comment

Listen With Style Cozy PhonesMusic is one of the ways that I find joy. If I’m clean I clean more thoroughly with music. If I’m crafting, I’m more creative with music. If I’m working out, I workout harder with music. Headphones that constantly fall out of my my ears seriously interferes with my groove both literally and figuratively (shout out to all you Emperor’s New Groove fans LOL)
When I first discovered these headphones I was super excited. Could these be the head phones that could stay in place while I work out, clean and whatever I need to get done and allow me and my kids to listen with style???

It is with great pleasure that I can inform you that they did stay in place. I love that they’re comfortable send to adjust where the speakers are you’re not only a great listening experience but also the ability to hear your surroundings if you need to. Thus far they have stood up to everything I put them through: power walking, cleaning, and even doing work on my koi pond in the back yard!

I really love the kids’ line as well!  They have unicorns, raccoons, foxes, frogs and so many more.  Of course, I’m partial to the Monkey Cozy Phones!  It takes away the worry of there being damage to the kids’ ears and you don’t have to worry about or deal with them constantly falling off!  All of which equal a win for Mom and kids.  Tired of hearing The Dispicables playing in the backseat?  This could solve your problem AND allow you to hear grown up stuff again over your car speakers!  I know that sounds like it couldn’t happen, but with these headphones it totally could become a reality!

Listen With Style: Cozy Phones HeadbandI highly recommend getting a set the only thing I would change about them would be to have a microphone on them for phone use but the fact that they don’t have a microphone forces me to stay focused oh my task and ignore phone calls so I suppose it’s probably best especially since I look for excuses to stop working out LOL.

Kimber Verve: Get with This 3 Wheel Jr Kick Scooter!

Leave a comment

Kimber Verve 3 Wheel Jr Kick Scooter is super cute, fun and durable! A perfect way to get the kids moving and having fun!Get Rollin' with Kimber Verve 3 Wheel Scooter!

This giveaway and review is part of our Fall Gift Guide – Stop by to see all the giveaways and great products.

This contest is hosted by the Social Media Gurus Network!

There is nothing more fun to watch than kids playing!  These little scooters are perfect to keep little ones busy and having fun!  This little scooter is perfect for the little ones to learn on and maybe they can even keep up while Mom walks or the bigger kids play!

 

If you are looking for something to keep your child busy but they are in between toddler and old enough to entertain themselves, this toys is one you should look into!

I do have to say, make sure you get a helmet and pads!  Safety first!

The Kimber Verve scooter is perfect for learning on!  It’s made for up to 44 lbs with a steel frame and 3 position adjustable handle bars.  I love watching the little dude scooting around and playing on the Kimber Verve!  He’s been having so much fun!

What a great way to help the little ones burn off energy…  I mean…  get exercise!  haha.  Fitness is always important and this is a great way to encourage outdoor fitness at a super young age!

Little Workers Digger: Must Have for Backyards Everywhere!

Leave a comment

Little Workers Digger is such a fun little toy! Every backyard, sand box, and dirt pit needs one! Hours of fun and imaginative play! Check it out!

Little Workers Digger: Backyard Must Have!

This giveaway and review is part of our Fall Gift Guide – Stop by to see all the giveaways and great products.

Little Worker’s Digger is something many of us have seen at the park, some have even played on!  I can honestly say that having one in your own sandbox takes the play over the top!

This little tomboy can recall playing on those at the parks and wishing I could move the digger.  Limited range inhibited the construction process!  haha.  Plasmart Toys has fixed that, as the kids can move it around as necessary for construction!

Every kid is fascinated by construction equipment!  The Digger Terrassier is made for children age 5+ and designed in such a way that the weight of the child is center gravity to counter the weight of the dirt.  Genius!  It even rotates all the way around (360 degrees)!

So now it has been brought to our attention that our Little Worker needs a construction hat!  Safety First!  That speech is given quite a lot.  It was part of the speech for the helmet and pads required when playing on the Kimber Verve scooter.  Funny what they remember!

Super Cute Teething Necklaces from Mommy’s Touch

Leave a comment

Mommy’s Touch Silicone Teething Necklace is an absolutely adorable teether than will not only keep your little one happy, they won’t be eating your jewelry!

Mommy's Touch Silicone Teething Necklace! You Can't Miss This! @MommysTouchUSA

If you wear necklaces and have ever held a baby with teeth coming in, you know the adventures of being chewed on! Teething is such torture, the poor little ones will chew on everything and what better than Mommy (or Auntie, Grandma, whomever)! With these necklaces, they can have their own to chew on!

Teething Necklaces

Teething necklaces are the perfect answer and these from Mommy’s Touch do not disappoint! I love these little necklaces! They are BPA Free, Non-Toxic and free of Phthalates! So, it’s totally safe for baby! In addition, babies will increase their hand eye coordination reaching to chew on the necklace! Teeth soothed AND skill improved. I’m down!

If you haven’t used a teething necklace with your little one, I highly recommend it. Not only does it ensure they are chewing on something that is safe it also ensures that they are exposed to textures! Some of the necklaces I’ve seen are far from fashionable, but these are definitely better. I love that they have the designs on them as it gives them something to rub against their gums!

I’m definitely a fan of the design as well as the fact that they are dishwasher safe! It makes me think of some of the fashion necklaces I’ve seen lately. In an interesting turn, the display photos are actually of an adult wearing one and I really thought it kind of looked like an odd piece of jewelry that people would wear. Haha. It’s certainly one I could see the kiddos digging in to!

Other Uses for Teething Necklaces

While I never would have thought of it, the description states that they are also great for kids with sensory needs! Autism, oral fixations, thumb sucking, ADHD, and fidgeting children can benefit from chewing these silicone necklaces! Although they do advise that they are not made for aggressive chewers. They are great for oral motor therapy!

DIY Earring Holder

Leave a comment
Hello All!  For some reason, the original post of this won’t post correctly, so I’ve redone it.  Hope you enjoy!
First, I will start off by apologizing for not sticking to my own agenda!  It’s been busy at the Zoo and I had to take some family time to get some things done, so posting was neglected!!!!  I’m not gonna promise it won’t happen again, because I would probably be lying!  😀  However, I will do my best!!!
I took an old frame that I had bought at Dollar Tree a while back and decided to re-purpose it!   It no longer fit my decor anyway!

I painted it first with a solid color, then again with glitter paint.
Here is a closer pic so you can see the glitter paint.  Please excuse the dot, this was before I  got rid of it!!!
I had an old wire mesh strainer that was coming apart from it’s holder, so I took the wire out of the broken strainer to use for my holder.  😀
I used my hot glue gun to glue the mesh down after stretching it out.  Just remember, it dries fast so you have to move fast!  I would glue an area, clamp it, then move to the next area.  If you don’t have clamps, you can use some heavy object, just do one spot at a time.  Messing up is an easy fix, just peel off the glue and do it again!  It won’t mess up the paint, so no worries!!!

I used some balloon ribbon to hang it.  Since the frame had designs cut into it, I simply ran the ribbon through.  If your frame doesn’t have design cut through it, you could use a pop tab on each side or just glue the ribbon directly to the frame.  I liked that since I didn’t glue it directly, I could easily change the way it is hung.

Here is the finished project.  I took a knife and ran it between the
ribbon and my thumb to  curl it.  Different directions make different
curls.  If you use metallic ribbon, remember to curl on the back side
otherwise it won’t curl!!!

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup or less milk (we used Silk and it turned out well)
Mix all dry ingredients, cut in shortening.  Next, add eggs and vanilla.  Mix.  If it’s too crumbly, add a little milk at a time until you get the cookie dough consistency.  Drop onto cookie sheet.  Bake at 425 degrees until lightly brown on the edges, I think mine took around 5 minutes or so.  Enjoy!
The back of the cookie when NOT burnt, as was my first batch!
