It’s Picnic Time!

Monkey Mat and Stakes

Fall is here! It's the perfect time to head out to the apple orchards, picking a few apples and having a picnic under the trees.  Having a Monkey Mat comes in handy. The Monkey Mat folds up to be about the size of a small book. I can easily fit this in my purse. Then when it's time to take a break for lunch it takes a few moments to set up. Why do you need a Monkey Mat? It gives you a clean, dry place to sit down on and enjoy your time outside. I like how it's machine washable. A few weeks ...

This is Us

NBC This is Us

This is Us premiered last night, did you watch it? I did! Well, after Peyton went to bed I watched it. What did you all think? I loved it!! The casting is spectacular. When I saw that Sterling K. Brown was going to be playing Randall I knew right then I was going to love this show. I remember watching Sterling in Army Wives. He was the husband all the women wished their husbands could be! When I read Randall's story line I knew Sterling would do a phenomenal job and he did. Sterling delivered ...

More than a Blanket

Harkla Weighted Blanket

Peyton loves to snuggle under blankets. I think most kids like to snuggle. But for some kids it's the only way to help soothe them. Harkla has made a weighted blanket for children. The purpose of the weight is it helps to soothe children, helping them to relax and calm down.

Do You Blend?

JGOB Neon Green Blending Sponge

Back in the day, when I first started wearing makeup we had wedges. These piece of foam, cut in the shape of a rectangle to help apply our foundation. They frequently fell apart and really didn't do much to help. Some were too porous and would absorb all your foundation or they were so rubbery it would just push  your makeup around.  Now fast forward to today and we have blending sponges. They are so much better than the foam wedge rectangle of yesterdays. JGOB has even designed a travel case ...
