Yawning Yoga review
Getting kids to sleep can IS a feat in itself!! It doesn’t have to be quite as bad every night… right? I had the great pleasure to review a new book called Yawning Yoga a goodnight book, for a good night’s sleepWritten by Laurie Jordan and Illustrated by Aaron Randy. This is an amazing book!! We LOVE Yawning YOGA!! Some of my very favorite highlights are: Tips for better bedtime! In the front of the book are 4 simple tips to help parents prepare kids for bedtime. BRILLIANT tips!! Amazingly helpful and they really work! Not just for bedtime but for nap time too!! BRILLIANT!! Second favorite part? It’s a hard cover book. Books with paper covers never ever last in our house. This book is beautiful!! Thick satiny paper that will last reading after reading!! LOVE the story line!! It flows so nicely. I love the sing-song relaxing rhythm of the book. The story teaches kids yoga moves for relaxation. Stretching and breathing, laughing and thanking your body for all the things it does for you during the day!! This book is amazing! Extra bonus!! The end of the book is an index of actual kids doing the poses in…

Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal. I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup. While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not…
Drain Claw Review & Giveaway!!!
First things first…… you’re welcome!! Why? Why do I start off with that? Because I’m not posting the pictures of the first few times I inserted The Drain Claw in to the drain. OH MY GOSH! Can you say GAG ME GROSS?!?!?!? UGHHHHH!!!!!! HOLY MOLY!!! The Drain Claw is small. But it is a MIGHTY tool to unclog your drain!! I didn’t know what to expect from the Drain Claw since it really is so small. I’m so very impressed!!!! The Drain Claw is made of a coated wire. Don’t let it’s size fool you!! This little gem gets all the nooks in the drain!! I can bend it to anyway I want to reach more and different areas as I unclog my drain. I was amazed the first 10 trips into the drain what the little interlocking hooks on the end of the claw drug back out. G-R-O-S-S!! (seriously I need a better word than gross!!!) About the 12th time down I rinsed the sink (trust me you did NOT want to see the disgusting things I pulled from the drain. NO NO NO!!!!) then took a picture. The Drain Claw was still pulling out hairs and mystery stuff!…
Time to put the Whine back in the Peanut Butter!
When this blog first started I intended to have an outlet for me to WHINE about being a caregiver for someone with Multiple Sclerosis. Now, it’s time to put this segment back in. So Sunday’s will be a posts will be about MS from a caregivers side. DH has had MS for 15 years. First we start with the basics. What is MS…… Multiple Sclerosis is not contagious or hereditary. It’s not a mental illness. It is a disease of the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and nerves). Nerves have a protective coating around them called “myelin.” When someone has MS, this protective coating is chipped away exposing the nerve and preventing messages from the brain to pass along the nerve pathway in a normal fashion. Common Symptoms include: A “pins and needles” prickling sensation most often in your toes or fingers – like your foot or hand fell asleep Numbness – again most often in your toes or fingers Problems with speech and swallowing Eye trouble – seeing double, blurry vision, or uncontrolled eye movements Slight memory problems Tremors in your arms, wrists, and hands – particularly when you try to pick something up or write Loss of balance and poor coordination Gait difficulties Extreme…
