Omie View is a great brand, and the Bassinet Mirror is perfect for your newborns all the way up to toddlers.  I gifted the mirror to a friend, that is getting ready to have a baby, on the 27th of June.  They were so pleased to be able to connect it to their crib, which is in their room.  This way, they will have plain site of the baby at all times.  There’s even a remote that comes with it, so you can adjust the mirror accordingly.  By adjusting the mirror, you’ll be able to see the baby at all cost. Omie View is a perfect gift for a new mommy and daddy, or to use for yourself.  I went over to see how it works, and the baby will be in plain eyes view, through the mirror on Omie View.  This is perfect, and will be perfect even for when the baby gets into a toddler bed.  You can hook it to the railing of the toddler bed, as well.  This is a great buy. It’s very easy to attach, and comes with instructions.  The remote is self explanatory.  You’ll love this mirror for either you or someone you…

T.O.P. Chops beef jerky is the bomb.  I love it, and you will too.  I can’t get over the taste, and how tender the jerky is.  The taste is magnificent, not too spicy, but the perfect mix of sweet.  I’ve eaten three bags, in two days.  I can’t wait to order more.  I shared a bag with my cousin, and he loves T.O.P. Chops too.  He asked where to buy it, and all I can come up with is the internet.  But, that’s fine, just stinks that it’ll take a few days to get here.  I love it that much. T.O.P. Chops Beef Jerky is Low in Sodium, which is great for my blood pressure.  And, is made in Lebanon, Georgia.  There is a store locator, but I don’t have access to it at the moment. Today, you can get 50% off your order.  I’ll be ordering, will you?  You don’t know what you are missing, but you will find it, when you order. T.O.P. Chops Beef Jerky is great.  I really can’t wait to get more.  On this, Jerky Day, I’ll be eating the rest of my jerky stash, and awaiting shipment of more.  If you want tender beef jerky, this is it.  If…

We watched Norm of the North King Sized Adventure over the weekend, and it was so entertaining.  My 8 year old sat through the entire movie, and he usually doesn’t do that.  If you haven’t watched Norm of the North yet, you really need to.  Then, invest in Norm of the North King Sized Adventure.  Norm, and his friends, embark on an adventure for the times.  You don’t want to miss this movie, when it comes out tomorrow. While Norm and his friends are preparing to celebrate his grandfather’s wedding, trouble is stirring in Misty Mountain. There, Norm meets an archaeologist named Jin and learns that a priceless Chinese artifact has been stolen by Dexter, Jin’s old partner. With the help of his lemming friends, Norm must embark on a journey across the world to help recover the artifact and return it to its rightful place. Can Norm keep his word to his new friend Jin and return home in time for his grandfather’s wedding? Only time will tell.  This King Sized Adventure truly is a great movie, that will keep your kids entertained on their Summer Break for 90 minutes.  Jacob watched it 3 times already, and keeps coming back for more.  Every time he wakes up, he…

Stuffed Puffs are truly amazing.  We love them, here in our household.  The chocolate inside the marshmallow is an added delight.  My 8 year old had a blast roasting up Stuffed Puffs, and putting them on crackers for our family cookout, over Memorial Day.  Everyone loved them, as well.  They went over wonderfully.  We didn’t have to buy the expensive chocolate bars to make our Smores, because they chocolate is in the marshmallow. The chocolate is absolutely delicious, inside those marshmallows.  It’s equally as good as those bars you buy, for Smores.  Stuffed Puffs will be an added plus for those Graduation Parties, Dad’s Day parties, and even for the 4th of July.  I am going to Walmart tomorrow, to stock up on some more.  We love our Smores, and this is the best way to make them, now.  It’s so convenient, and easy.  The marshmallows stay on the skews just as easily as ever. There’s so many marshmallows in one bag.  We had 2 bags, and were able to save 1 bag for later.  My sister has a fire pit, so I asked her if we could come there to roast again.  Of course, she said, “Only if you…

Numa Foods makes fabulous Milk Chews.  My sister loves them, she eats two a day.  There are 3 flavors:  Strawberry, Chocolate Milk, and Original.  She loves Strawberry best.  She’s been eating them for about two weeks now, and swears by them.  She said, “they are a healthier snack than that other candy”.  And, “they taste just as good, if not better”. Numa Foods Milk Chews aren’t hard to eat, so if you have dentures, don’t worry about it.  They are low in sugar, and are gluten free, as well.  You’ll get 8 individually wrapped pieces, per bag.  You’ll also get free shipping, if you spend $24 or more.  And, get this, right now you can get a sample for free, just pay a small shipping and handling fee.  I’m sure you’ll love them. The Strawberry Milk Chews are made with Beet powder, and they are fantastic.  I did swipe one from my sister, even though she took the entire bag.  They are delicious.  The Original has dried Cranberries, and Peanuts.  It’s fantastic too.  I love peanuts, so this was a great turn on, for me.  And, then there’s the Chocolate Milk.  They have peanuts as well, but the chocolate taste…

100 Things To Do In Pittsburgh Before You Die is a great Second Edition book.  We enjoyed reading through it, and seeing all the great things to do, in a great city.  We’ve actually already done quite a few.  We’ve been to several tourist spots, etc.  There are a few things I’d definitely like to do, still, though. 100 Things To Do In Pittsburgh Before You Die details some great things in Pittsburgh, including Kennywood.  Who hasn’t been to Kennywood?  It’s a great place, with great food, and lots of fun to be sought there.  There’s also some other great places like Mount Washington listed.  The Incline is a huge thing in Pittsburgh, and yes, I’ve been there too.

Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Make Waves is a wonderful children’s book.  My 8 year old can’t get enough of Rosie.  He loves reading it before bed, and early in the morning.  He’s such a fabulous reader, thanks to this book.  All he does is read it.  Might be because they go to the pool, and he loves the pool.  I love that my son is reading more and more.  I just hope I can keep him reading over the summer.  Especially if Rosie the Dragon and Charlie have anything to do with it. Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Make Waves is a great book to pass on, as well.  My 22 year old, daughter, is studying to be a teacher.  She loves reading to her brother, as well.  The two of them read for hours.  Once Jacob has had his feel with this book, I’ll pass it on to Sarah, who can use it in the classroom where she’s teaching this Summer, and Fall. Your family will love this book, and bookmark this page, because soon there will be a GIVEAWAY to enter to win a copy of the book, Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Make Waves.  GIVEAWAY will…
