Wondersip is easy to clean, because it opens!  You saw right, it’s so cool, and so reusable.  With the leading brand, you have to have a thin brush to go inside, and get the goo out, with Wondersip, you just open, and pow, clean! Wondersip Butterfly is so easy to use.  It snaps apart, and back together so easily.  I love the style, and the sips are so easy!  I received 4 Butterflies, which works out great, because there are four of us in our household.  Wondersip has changed my outlook on straws, and I use it all the time now. There’s the size for a can, which I received 2 of, and the size for a glass, which I also received two of.  We use these all the time.  The pouch they come in, hasn’t been used since the day I washed them.  Because, they are never put away.  Always in a person’s glass, is where they are.  They also have Glow in the Dark straws.  Tell me that isn’t completely cool, for the kids. Wondersip is hygienic, eco friendly, odorless and made with premium materials that are free from BPA and leakage.  The are also FDA approved! I…

We love GourmetGiftBaskets.com so much.  We used them for Father’s Day, and sent my dad this amazing crate, called Family Game Night Gift Crate. He adored it, and plays checkers, with my son, all the time. He’s even been snacking on the treats, and drinking the soda in the crate. You can see all the goodies that came in the crate. They were delicious, to share. My father was so excited to get such a wonderful present from his son, and grandson. Features of this crate, include: Checkers – 1 Satchel – Light and dark-colored wood game pieces and dice too! Checker Board Crate – 1 crate – Gift crate box with a 2-sided sliding lid.

My son-in-law loves his audio-technica Wireless Headphones.  He says the sound is so clear, and they fit in his ears effortlessly.   He says it’s easy to pause, during play-mode, and it’s easy to play, again.  There’s ear pieces for every ear size, and the USB charging cable is included.  He said he’s been looking for a good pair of wireless ear buds, and now he has them.  His favorite feature is the charging case!  He will never switch brands!  His next pair will be from this company, too.  He’s even talking about getting his dad some. Audio-technica is a great brand, and I’ve worked with them in the past.  Always great quality products, at a great price.  The wireless ear buds are a great way to prove that you get a great value, for non-expensive ear buds.  I love audio-technica, and will always purchase with them.

Nasopure really worked for my little one.  He’s 9, and it cleared out his, always clogged up, sinuses.  Then I had my 23 year old, daughter, try it, the adult version.  It worked for her even better.  Nasopure is a miracle worker, if you have bad sinuses. Nasopure  uses buffered salt packages, to help clear out your breathing passage.  It’s better than the leading brands.  I love this brand, and will continue to use it for my family.  My daughter said, “the mucous is gone, mom”.  So I know it works.  My 9 year old says it works, as well, but I don’t know that he’s noticed the change.  However, he sounds clearer. Clearing the Air, One Nose at A Time, is a wonderful book.  I’d order it, as well, if you plan on ordering this system.  It’s a great resource to have on hand, when using Nasopure.  You can read the first chapter here. “This book encompasses all of the ailments that are related to the nose. As Dr. Hana clearly understands, the nose is central to all respiratory ailments, from otitis, to rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis, and even bad breath. This is a wonderful collection of useful information,…

Tummy Drops are great.  I’ve shared them with family, and friends.  Everyone seems to love them.  From my friends daughter, who is pregnant, to my sister in law, who went on a cruise, etc.  They all say it doesn’t take long to work, and their tummy feels better, with Tummy Drops!  I’ve had Jacob, my 9 year old, try them as well.  For he has tummy issues every now and then.  He said they taste great, and they helped the tummy pain go away.  I used to give him a leading brand, to help his tummy, now I just look for our Tummy Drops. Tummy Drops are all natural, and will help any tummy ache to cease.  I really love them too, as yesterday was the first time I tried them, because it was the first tummy ache I’ve had in a while.  Tummy Drops worked in just a few minutes, and there completely plant based.  I’ll be honest, I was a little intimated at first, thinking it wasn’t going to work, but within 1, 2, 3, they worked wonders.  The Blackberry Ginger are my favorite.  I love blackberry, and it just tastes great, and helps my sensitive tummy! With…

Cubles are so much fun to make.  My daughter, Sarah, age 23, and son, Jacob, age 9, built them together.  Sarah recently graduated with her Early Education Degree, so it was fun for her to help her brother makes Cubles.  And, Jacob was off the gaming console for a while. Jacob had so much fun putting the tiger, elephant and panda, or Animal Set, together.  He had his big Sister help, but for the most part, he did it alone.  Watching her, of course, put her Unicorn, Pegasus, and Griffin, or Fantasy Pack, together.  The keys go in between the parts, to make them come together.  It was so much fun, watching, and taking photos.  And, my mom watched too! There’s a Grade School Lesson Plan, that comes along with your packet.  These are so cute, when made.  As you can see, from the picture above.  We would make 100 more, if we could.  I may be ordering them, again, just to have them on hand, and to get Jacob off the gaming console. Cubles are a wonderful, fun, and creative activity for all ages. Kinda like origami, kinda like a puzzle, Cubles start flat and fold up into a…

My family, and I, have been using Salonpas for some time.  However, now that they have a Double Size Patch, in a Value Pack, we love them even more.  My daughter, age 22, has had problems with her back, since she was 14.  She uses Salonpas all of the time.  She loves the new larger patches, because it covers the entire area affected.   Her dad uses Salonpas Patches, as well, for back problems, associated with a work injury from 20 years ago.  It helps relieve his pain, as well. With 3% Menthol, 10% Methyl Salicylate, and Topical Analgesic, Sarah says, “these patches couldn’t be better!”  They are FDA Approved, and are Non-Prescription.   You can get 9 Large Patches, that will last for 8-12 hours, to subside your pain. On the side, of the box, are instructions on how to use the patches.  Only use 1 patch at a time, for your protection.  You will love the way you feel, once you start using these patches. These patches are for Backache, Sore Muscles, Sprains and Bruises.  We’ve used them for back pain, and my daughter says she will never use another brand.

There are several different pairs of rubber tips, so you can choose the one that fits the best in your ears.  This is great, whether you have really small ears, or not, they will fit you.
