EatSmart 550 Capacity Scale Review
Reviews / December 30, 2017

We love the 550 Capacity Scale, in our home.  We can keep an eye on our weight, and have plenty of room to move.  The scale is completely accurate, because it’s reading exactly what my Doctor’s Scale read last week.   The extra wide scale is perfect for anyone, small or big.  I love this scale, and often wonder where it’s been for the last 40+ years. I love everything about the EatSmart brand.  Their products are top grade, and I will continue to do business with them.

Mystery Tackle Box was a hit at our home
Reviews / December 28, 2017

Mystery Tackle Box is a great subscription box, that my husband, and son, both love.  My 6 year old loves going fishing with his daddy, so when the Mystery Tackle Box came in the mail, they fought over who got to open it.  The Mystery Tackle Box had some great fishing gear in it, that they will use this Spring, to go fishing.  I think the 6 year old was more excited than the 40 something year old, and he was pretty excited too.  Now we can get something (Mystery Tackle) every month. You can subscribe to Mystery Tackle Box for as little at $14.95 a month.  Or, you can get a Pro or Premium box, for just a little more.  Check out the plans here.  You will love it as much as the males in my life did.  It would even be great for that female fisher.  I don’t fish, or I would love it too.  It is a great gift for anyone who fishes, and you can even give it, as a gift. Mystery Tackle Box is the original monthly lure subscription service. We have featured over a hundred different brands in our boxes and have introduced tens of…

EatSmart Precision Baby & Pet Scale is so Helpful
pets , Reviews / December 26, 2017

My mother in law just got a puppy, and we had no idea how much she weighed.  So when taken to the vet, for shots, they told us she was 2.3 pounds.  The next trip, she was 4 lbs, and so on.  Now we can keep track of her weight on our own.  She’s not going to get real big, because she’s a Shih Tzu.  But, my mother in law is so excited to get this scale, and weigh her on a weekly basis. EatSmart has a great line of products, including the Baby & Pet Scale.  This scale is the perfect size, to just put back in my in law’s bathroom, behind the door, and leave there.  We can weigh Belle when we go down the hall.  This is an extra bathroom, so it won’t be in the way.  It’ll be out of the way, but everyone will know it’s there.  If along the way, a baby comes to visit, we can check their weight too, if the parents want to.  But we got this scale specifically for Belle. Belle now weighs 6 pounds, that’s a big difference since the 2.3 pounds she weighed, when my mother in law…

I received the My Little Pony Movie last night.  And, though I have a 6 year old, boy, he sat down and watched it.  He loved it.  I can’t believe how cute it was.  Like the box says, “Discover a different breed of hero”.

Disney’s THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS – New Trailer
Disney , Movies / December 20, 2017

About the movie: All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world. Starring Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy and featuring a special performance by Misty Copeland, Disney’s new holiday feature film “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” is directed by Lasse Hallström and inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic tale. In theaters on Nov. 2, 2018.  And here are 2 delicious Nutcracker themed recipes created in honor of the new trailer: Nutcracker Cookies:  https://family.disney.com/recipe/nutcracker-cookies/ Nutcracker Gingerbread House: https://family.disney.com/recipe/nutcracker-gingerbread-house/ Like THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DisneysTheNutcracker/ Follow Disney Studios…
