But how do you know which ones are right for your kid? We’re here to help you find out! Gauge Their Interests The best activity for your kid is the one they’re interested in.

Everything But The Bagel is Tasty!
2018 Summer Fun Gift Guide , Reviews / September 9, 2018

Everything But The Bagel is super tasty, and my mother in law agrees!  We bought plain bagels, and toasted, then buttered the top, and dipped with Everything But The Bagel.  It was super delicious!  There was a little Onion taste, mixed with all the other great things that come on bagels.  My mother in law even puts it on plain toast.  Says it gives the toast “added flavor.” I will continue to purchase Everything But The Bagel, as well as other items from Pereg.  The prices are great, for the amount that you get, and you couldn’t ask for a better flavor! My mother in law already asked for the site, so she could see what else they have.  There’s so much to choose from, and it all looks devine!  I can’t wait to get some of the other products, that I’ve been looking at, and try them all. You get 5.3 ounces, and that has lasted us a good while.  We don’t add a ton, just enough to give our food some added flavor.  My mother in law, even put some in her pasta sauce.  It gave it a great flavor.  I wish I would’ve thought of that sooner….

Black Panther was an amazing, have you on the edge of your seat, kind of movie.  I loved every action packed minute.  This was definitely a Marvel best!  My 6 year old, son, and 20 year old, daughter, sat and watched it with me.  We never left our seats.  And, we were on the edge of our seats quite often.  They couldn’t have told the story better.  It truly is a great film.   When young King T’Challa is drawn into conflict with an old foe that puts his homeland Wakanda and the entire world at risk, he must release Black Panther’s full power to save them.   Here’s some fun Superhero Facts: 10 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT MARVEL STUDIOS’ BLACK PANTHER To celebrate the in-home release of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, we’ve uncovered 10 stellar secrets from the making of the epic super hero saga.

Pure Maple Syrup Powerhouse B&G Foods
Reviews / April 11, 2018

Leads the Nation as #1 U.S. Bottler of Pure Maple Syrup “Can you believe how good this Maple Syrup is?”  My spouse said to me.  So I tried it, and sure enough delicious doesn’t even explain it.  My 6 year old, and 20 year old both said that is was fantastic on their pancakes.  I can’t get over the great taste. I know I missed Maple Syrup day, and for that I apologize.  But, you’ve really got to try this Maple Syrup.  It’s pure.  When do you find pure maple syrup?  Not often. I will definitely be buying more. Tapping Season, as the maple syrup season is known, is the time when the trees are “tapped” to gather sap which is then boiled in sugar houses to produce maple syrup. It takes 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of syrup.  Tapping season, which typically lasts about six to eight weeks, ends sometime in April. Weather dictates the length of tapping season – warm days followed by cool nights are needed to get the sap flowing. Once a tree buds, tapping season has come to an end. Pure maple syrup is just one ingredient, sourced from nature, and contains…

Avoid that expensive pair of Glasses, buy from Readers.com
2018 Easter Gift Guide , Reviews / March 23, 2018

Readers.com has been one of my favorite sites, for years.  They have top quality, cheap glasses.  All you need to know is the strength of the glasses you need.  They can do the rest.  You pick out the style and color you like, and tell them your strength, that’s it. The Jack Bifocal Sun Reader I use nearly every day.  I love this pair of glasses.  I wear them in the car, mostly.  The power, for the Jack, goes up to 3.5, and you will be able to wear these out in the sun. These sport sun readers really are the jack of all trades. The rimless lenses have a bottom inner bifocal portion for close range viewing and a non-magnified top area allowing you to easy see near and far. The Zeek Bifocal Sun Reader I gave to my dad, who wears the same strength as I do.  He has them in his vehicle and wears them on business trips. A sporty look with functional lenses makes the perfect combo. The Zeek has an inner magnified bifocal and an unmagnified upper portion allowing you to keep these on for all purposes. The Beau I also received.   These glasses I have on…

Great Stocking Stuffers Listed Below
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , Reviews / November 28, 2017

We could always use ideas for Stocking Stuffers, so where better to get them, than here.  These are all great ideas.  I always liked when my mom would put a drink in our stocking, and a treat.  That way, when we were opening presents, we had something at our fingertips.  It was the perfect idea, that I carried on for my children.  And, I do stockings for 13 children/adults, so these will all be in our stockings! I’m going to start with the great Sparkling Ice.  If you’ve never had Sparkling Ice, you are missing out.  There is a huge variety of flavors, and they are so inexpensive.  You can even buy them in a family pack, at Walmart.  This would make a great stocking treat, for any aged child/adult. The Welch’s Fruit Rolls, oh my goodness.  These are delicious, and taste just like the leading brand.  They are fabulous.  You could open the box, and put one in each stocking, or two, depending on the size of your family.  My husband ate the entire box, the last time I bought them.  Yeah, he loves them, and so will your family. The Carrington Farms Chia Seeds, go to my sister. …

I Live For Canvas On Demand!
2017 Holiday Gift Guide , Reviews / November 26, 2017

Canvas On Demand is a great company to order your Custom Canvas Prints from.  I received mine the other day, and I must say I am most pleased.  My 20 year old, daughter, and 6 year old, son, look fabulous.  The picture turned out better than I had hoped, on the enlarged Canvas. You can even get Canvas to color.  I forgot to order mine, but I’m sure it would’ve been great.  I love Canvas On Demand, and know how well our Canvas Picture turned out.  I’ve never been more pleased with a canvas photo.  The pixels are perfect, the backing is wonderful, and the canvas is superb!  I want to keep it, but I actually had it made for my mom, whose birthday is Christmas Eve. Whether you need one picture, or multiples, I would definitely suggest Canvas On Demand.  The photo is so clear, and the colors are so bold.  I love it.  My kids both wore red, that’s why I say the colors are bold.  They turned out just as I had hoped.

We recently tried Label Daddy and LOVE It!
Reviews / September 29, 2017

Label Daddy is fantastic for getting my 6 year old’s property labeled. We had to send clothes to school, the first day, for their lockers.  I, of course, used Label Daddy to label Jacob’s clothes.  There’s a mega clothing pack, and I was even able to label his undies.  It’s so great to have a company that I can go to, and be able to know the labels are going to stick. There are a lot of Labels to choose from.  There’s the Clothing packet, School Pack, write on – wipe off labels, etc.  Take a look on Label Daddy, to see what pack makes sense for you. I received the Deluxe School Label Pack, and I have a few left, but I’ve labeled just about everything, including undies. Labels included: 45 Extra Small Clothing Labels (0.85″ x 0.47″) 30 Small All Purpose Labels (1.59″ x 0.39″) 20 Medium All Purpose Labels (1.99″ x 0.49″) 10 Large All Purpose Labels (2.81″ x 0.68″) 18 Mini Shoe Labels (1.18″ x 0.81″ Oval) 8 Shoe Labels  (1.76″ x 1.21″ Oval) 1 Bag Tag (3.89″ x 2.48″) 4 Zipper Tags (0.69″ Circle) This was enough to make the start of the school year go off with a bang.  With Jacob only being…

Colgate Interactive Powered Toothbrushes are amazing, and they are perfect for your little ones, going back to school. These new toothbrushes talk to you.  Tell you where to brush, and for how long.  I love it.  My son, age 6, is now pretty much brushing his teeth without help.  I stand and watch, to make sure he does it correctly, but with the help of the Power (Talking Brush), it’s so easy to get his teeth brushed. The Minions is just one of the choices, you will have to go to the Colgate Kids website to see what you can choose from.  The Colgate Kids Interactive Toothbrush with Timer is so great.  You will really enjoy being able to brush your own teeth, while your child is brushing their teeth.  This makes getting ready for school so much easier.
