I love the story, “Spiky“. It’s so true, in today’s world. Some people can be so ugly, on the inside, but you can turn beautiful. My daughter, age 22, can’t wait to take Spiky to work, to read to the kids that she teaches. She is studying to become a teacher, and in her last year of college, she is already teaching. She loves this story, almost as much as I do. Anyone can change, and this book is a perfect example. It’s great to teach your child that ugly souls can become beautiful ones. I used to have an ugly soul, but now my soul has turned beautiful, in my opinion.

Dumbo has always been on of my favorite movies, and now my 8 year old watches it with me. He’s not a big “movie” fan, and is usually playing Fortnite, but now he is interested in Dumbo. This is truly a great “Family” film. My 22 year old, daughter sat down and watched it with my son & me.
This truly is a great film. Tim Burton & Disney did it again. They are setting the score high for their next film! I loved watching Dumbo over and over, but I always have.
Check out the below for an Animal Cracker recipe, and how to juggle.
These two things come in handy every time we watch Dumbo. The kids love the Sprinkled Animal Crackers, and trying to Juggle. These two things have brought us a lot of entertainment, and joy. And, watching Dumbo is an added bonus.
You’ll be able to pick up the Blu ray, DVD & Digital copy starting June 25, anywhere these items are sold. Don’t wait, get there early, they will sell out.
With the Blu ray, there are bonus extras:
The cast is excellent, and you can read more here.

I have a friend that is getting ready to have a baby. They are being induced on June 27. So, as you can imagine, this is a busy time for her. That’s why I turned to Baby Magic, to help her bring the baby into the world. Baby Magic is a wonderful company, that has all the baby’s basic needs covered. From lotion to wipes, and even Hydrogel Patches. This is amazing! I remember, 8 years ago, having my little guy, and using Baby Magic, too.
I love this Hydrogel Patch. It’s great for fevers & overheating, sunburn, discomfort, and even dry skin. They will love this patch, as new parents. It’ll bring comfort to their little bundle of joy, which will in turn, be comforting to the parents.
I also love the 3 in 1 wipes. They have a combination of Chamomile, aloe and vitamin E. There’s 72 wipes in the container, which will make changing easy. They are also free from fragrance, alcohol, dyes, SLS, oils, parabens, and phthalates. These are truly sent from above.
Their lotions, and baby wash are a gift too. We used them all the time, with Jacob, and occasionally still do, especially over summer break, to get the sweat smell off of him. Look how cute that gift pack is for the bath! It’s so great too, with the sweet dreams, like lavender, scent. And, it makes me sleep, as well.
You may be asking, “Where can I buy Baby Magic?” Answer is simple, just about anywhere, but I go to Walmart, or even online. (See the below link to see how to purchase online.)
Trusted by parents for over 65 years, Baby Magic® is a true legacy brand. We believe in tradition and that nothing bonds families together like shared experiences. We embrace the power of a loving touch and the emotional influence scents can bring. Through life’s sweet, precious moments, sleepless nights, messy blowouts and endless cries…just know, we are here on this journey with you. Welcome to the Baby Magic® family.

I don’t often admit this, but I’ve had halitosis since I was a kid. People used to make fun of me all the time. I’d brush my teeth 3, maybe 4, times a day; but nothing helped. The Honest Hemp Company has changed that for me. My breath is so fresh when I use this CBD Nano spray. And, I love the way I feel afterwards. I don’t feel a high, but I feel a weight lifted off my chest. I do suffer from bipolar, depression, and anxiety disorders, so this has been a big help for me.
Features ethanol, glycol, natural peppermint, and 160mg of premium US-grown, water-soluble hemp CBD extract.
This product would be great, even without bad breath. You would just get the splash of cool, before feeling relief from anxiety. It’s not a miracle worker, but it’s enough to feel relaxed, a bit. It’s a great feeling, to not worry all the time.
The Super Breath Blast is even known to kill the “meanest of hangovers” in as little as 5 minutes. That’s so great to hear!
*Honest Hemp* is a wellness company based in Boulder, Colorado and Los Angeles, California. Our products are a natural alternative for managing your stress, reducing mild anxiety, and relieving pain from exercise-induced inflammation. We offer great tasting MCT + full-spectrum CBD oil tinctures for daily maintenance, a breath spray for on-the-go supplementing, and a magic balm for topical use. All of our products contain hemp oil CBD, which is derived from the cannabis plant, but is 100% legal and has NO psychoactive affect. So, you get all the benefits of CBD without feeling high.

I’ve recently come across a great product called Pura d’or. I have thinning hair, and they have a formula for me. It works magnificently. Thinning hair used to be a problem, but not any more. And, it’s inexpensive, especially if you get the monthly subscription.
There are many formulas, of shampoos & conditioners, but the thinning hair formula is the right one for me, and I’m completely sold on this product. Pura d’or has made me feel young again, hair wise. I can’t get over how well it really works.
Pura d’or Hair Thinning Therapy System is really great. It works for all types of hair, at any time of the day. My husband has been using it for about 3 weeks, and he loves it too, because he also has thinning hair. I’ve gone to Target recently, and picked up another supply of Pura d’or, so we will have it, when our current bottles run out. This is a truly great product, and can be bought locally, which is really cool.
For the Hair Thinning Therapy System, here’s it’s description:
I’m telling you that you have to try Pura d’or. You will love it as much as my family does.

We love Welch’s Fruit Snacks, in our family. My 8 year old would take them, everyday, to school. Now, my 22 year old, takes them everyday to work & school. She’s teaching this Summer, so this is a great snack for her during lunch. She loves them, as much as my 8 year old does. We have been a fan of Welch’s for many years.
Have you tried the Blueberry Fruit N Yogurt Snacks? They are absolutely delightful. So delicious, and in just a small snack. They also come in Strawberry, and Cherry. These make a great mid-day snack for anyone. I snack on them, myself, and love them. I can’t get enough. I’ve been buying them constantly. I do limit myself to one pack a day, so they will last a little longer. I also have 8 year old fingers grabbing them up too.
We are having a huge family cookout for the 4th of July, and this is a perfect snack to put out for the kids. They will love them. I can’t wait to share them with everyone.
Welch’s Fruit Snacks come in 10 varieties. You really have to try any of them, and you will be hooked. They are THAT good! I’ve been hooked for a while now. As I said, my son would take them to lunch with him, but I would come home from work, and snack on them, as well. You, too, will love Welch’s, as soon as you taste them. The after taste is just as good as when it’s going down.
