Durable and Easy to use!

We recently moved to an area with really nice bike trails and we love to explore our new neighborhood. Our only concern is our new bikes! We doubt anything would happen to them here but you just never know. We decided to get this great bike lock from Safe Best. 



I like that it comes with a holder and it is very easy to use. Setting the combination was a breeze! We can also lock up our trailer along with it which is great! It's lightweight and has been a lifesaver so far!

Why are guys so hard to shop for?

Guys are so hard to shop for. I always struggle when it comes to holidays what I should get for them. Recently I found these New York Yankees cuff links and realized what a great idea for at least some of those hard to shop for men! These cuff links come in a nice box that is perfect for gift giving. My brother is a huge Yankees fan and I thought these would be perfect for him. 

They are a very nice quality and also very easy to use. They color is a navy blue background with white lettering and a silver around the outside. The cuff links are durable and lightweight. I will admit that the lettering is a little off but from far away no one would be the wiser. You can’t beat the price for these!

What are some other ideas that you have had for the difficult to shop for men in your life?

Quick and Easy in the Morning

If you know me, you know that I absolutely hate mornings. I dislike them so much and the less time I have to struggle doing things in the morning the better. I have never owned a hair straightener in my life but I have always wanted one. I have been afraid of the damage it could do to my hair if I accidentally fried it or something. This Beautonics hair brush straightener is the perfect thing to help that! The bristles are very safe to the touch even when warmed up.

The design of this straightener is great. The brush design makes doing my hair very easy and quick. It has straightening and brushing all in one easy sweep in the morning. I love that it is lightweight and safe to use. As I said I am literally terrified of always burning myself somehow with traditional straighteners and haven’t had a single issue with this one. It warms up quickly and the heat is adjustable depending on how hot you want it to be. The price is absolutely amazing for such a great product.

Super Quick Craft!

What crafty things have you made lately? I need to find some new crafts! The latest thing I made was a wine bottle holder for some beautiful lighted flowers I’ve had laying around. I always thought that they were too tall to do anything with. Any vase I tried to put them in always just looked so silly to me but then  one night I happened to have a wine bottle laying around (I was going to use for some other craft) but then behold! I realized that it’s tall enough to fit the flowers perfectly! I added some embellishments (twine and river rocks at the bottom) and called it a 5 minute craft. Also, my daughter loved putting the rocks into the bottle so it was a great way to create and spend time together. It worked on her fine motor skills too! Score! So what do you think?

Luv4Baby!

Recently I got the opportunity to review some great changing pad liners. They are made by Luv4Baby and are made of bamboo. They are great for keeping your changing pad nice and clean and are easily changed out in the event that a mess does occur. The bottom has a plastic feel to seal in any leaks or messes and the top layer is nice and soft to keep baby comfortable. They are not as wide as I would have expected but definitely do the trick. They are a great deal at this price and are great for shower gifts as well!

Easy to use and easy to clean!

Grilling season is upon us and we are really big grillers in this side of the woods. There's nothing better than a great BBQ chicken and some grilled corn on the cob. The only downfall is the cleaning up after. The scrubbing of the grates and such is just a pain. I was given the opportunity to try out these great Grill Mats and they have worked out great for my family.

We love to cook and these have made cooking and cleaning up a breeze! They keep the food fresh and not dried out which is super important to us. I also really enjoy using the baking mat when making cookies. The mats are non stick and reusable. They keep the grill nice and clean and it's easy enough to tote these back inside, wash them off with a little soap and water and carry on your day. Easy, fast, and convenient! All very important things in this day and age!

Butterbeer!

I haven’t done a recipe around here in a while so here’s a new one! I decided the other night that I really wanted to try and make some Butterbeer! Nerd Alert!! Let’s talk about how I had no idea how many different recipes there are out there for it. Oh my gosh. So here’s what I ended up doing and I think it turned out pretty good!

Ingredients:

-          1 glass of Cream Soda

-          1 spoonful of Butterscotch Syrup

-          1 cup Heavy Cream

-          Sugar

-          2 tbsp Vanilla

-          1 tbsp Butter Flavoring

First I took the glass of cream soda and mixed in a spoonful of the butterscotch in it. Then in a separate bowl I mixed together the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and butter flavor to get a whipped cream type topping. Finally plop some of the cream over the drink and voila! Super quick and super delicious. Have you had butterbeer before and what is your favorite recipe for butterbeer? What do you think of it? Good? Bad? Let me know!
