Keep your micro fiber clean with kiwi boot spray.

Today I redid my kitchen bar stool. It was very easy. Just unscrew the cushion , add new fabric, staple fabric, and finally put chair back together. From start to finish it is a thirty minute job. Now to on to my point. I used a leather/ micro fiber material on my stool . Yes you can clean it easily but I like to stack the odds in my favor. I use weather protection spray for boots on the stool. I'm sure any brand will work but I'm a fan of kiwi. Hope you find this useful.

$50.00 give away for easy, fun,and quality holiday photo cards by Tiny Prints

ENDED ON 10/29/12 THANK YOU FOR ENTERING

o

I know what you are thinking.  Its not even Halloween yet but most of us know that the time to shop for our personalized photo cards is upon us.  I'm going to be honest with you... I'm not looking for a regular run of the mill photo card.  I'm looking for the best of the best.  I'm looking for something that is going to make my holiday card stand out and make the rounds among all my family and friends.  I want my family card to to somehow always make it to the top of the pile, the front of the mantle and center of the fridge, if ya know what I mean.  Will I have two words for you..... Tiny Prints!  Tiny Prints is know for quality.  I was so impressed the first time that I got a Tiny Prints Holiday card in the mail for Christmas.  It was so beautiful and classy that I couldn't stand to send anything less.  When the holidays were over I added it to my scrap book.  I have no doubt that the quality of card stock that Tiny prints uses will stand the test of time. 

 I can just see it now.  My family portraits would look stunning in this cute grey and classic red pokadot card.  As always you can customise your cards to your liking but changing the font and the colors and even the number of pictures on the front and back of the cards. 

 With so many styles and shapes to choose from the possibilities are endless.  This round card is in the shape of a Christmas tree ornament and cute enough to hang on the tree.   I could see keeping it for years to come.  I would totally craft with this after the holidays. 

 Now I have to admit...I took my dog to the groomer a few days ago and they took her holiday picture.  She is a 40 pound cattle dog and the best dog a girl could have.  She looked so pretty sitting on a table with gifts and a tree in the back.  She even had her little puppy dog tong sticking out.  I like to add my dog Lilly to all of our family cards because she is such a valued member of our family.  My mothers children have all grown and moved on so her dog is often the center of her cards , letters, and posts alike.  That is what makes this card a perfect option for her.

Now for the new modern twist on a classic Holiday news letter.  I love this family news letter / photo card.  It may be my favorite of all but that's hard to say because I really love so many of them.  I would put a family shot in the center and then a smaller individual shot of each of my three kids during each of our family vacations with captions that detail the event. I especially love that they Tiny Prints will print the recipients address on the envelopes.  That makes it so easy for a busy mom like me.  So why don't you head on over to Tiny Prints and see what your missing.

Check out the special offers that Tiny Prints is offering Christmas Photo Cards I would also challenge you to check out the cool Holiday Party invites.

Teach your toddler / child to take a pill.

It's tried and true. I have learned the hard way, but you don't have to. The amazing jet-puffed marshmallow cream! It's just that easy. Get a small spoon and scoop up a small amount of marshmallow cream and drop the pill into the cream. You don't even have to hide the pill. You don't have to crush the pill. Then offer the cream to the child.
The cream is so sticky, smooth and slippery that it holds on to the pill and slides down your child's throat with ease and they like the taste.
Some of my kids have to take pills each day and I use this easy and yummy trick to make my mornings run more smoothly. This only works if the pill can be taken with food. I am not a doctor but I am a mom and this worked for my kids. Some pills can be broken but some can Not, some pill can be taken with food and some can Not. I have tried the pill cup and that didn't work for us. I have tried drinking fast, holding the nose, apple sauce, i even tried to teach then by using tictax and m&m candy, and every other trick in the book. I have been through the tears, and so has my child. I hope this post helps so that my readers children can skip the drama. My little guy is two years old and it works for him as we'll as my five year old and my ten year old. Good luck.

review for Nectresse no calorie sweetener

NECTRESSE™ Natural No Calorie Sweetener

I was given a free sample of Nectresse to try by smiley360.  I wanted to write a review on the product because I liked it so well.  It's from the makers of Splenda and they are a company that I know and trust.  I honestly like the taste and the texture of Nectresse.  It is so very similar to sugar but with out all the calories.  Who couldnt use that. 

Try NEW NECTRESSE™ NATURAL NO CALORIE SWEETENER!

In the search to create a great tasting natural sweetener, the Maker of SPLENDA® Sweeteners found inspiration in the monk fruit, which has been cultivated in remote mountain regions for hundreds of years. Turns out, the extract of this little green melon is perfect for sweetening foods and beverages because it's 150 times sweeter than sugar without all the calories. A little goes a long way. The extract is then blended with other natural sweeteners to create NECTRESSE™ Sweetener. The result isn't just another sweetener, but one that is 100% natural with zero calories per serving and the rich,sweet taste of sugar. You’re going to love the way it tastes!

Did You Know?

• NECTRESSE™ Sweetener has the rich taste of sugar, but without all the calories, making it ideal for anyone who wants to reduce the calories from sugar in their diet.
• Monk fruit is hand-picked in remote mountain regions and has been cultivated for hundreds of years.
• Each pack of NECTRESSE™ Sweetener provides all the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar without all of the calories.
• NECTRESSE™ Sweetener does not include any gluten containing ingredients.

Inch bug label in classroom id for drink cup

I just wanted to show my readers what I use ID my young kids drink cups at school. I won this set of two labels from a blog that I like to read called Cummings Life. She is one of my followers too. Any how..... I entered and won. I love using them I'm my kids drink because I'm afraid that the drinks will get mixed up and or the names will rub off at school. So to help my kids name stick out a Pinch more I used a marker. They are not expensive at all only around 6.00 and totally worth it. I even put them in the dishwasher . What more could I ask for?
