  • Shenzhen Knives: 3 piece Ceramic Knife Set

    Knives

    Since the first time I heard the term ‘ ceramic’ and ‘knife’ combined together I’ve been curious about just how sharp could they possibly be?? Well, trust me these puppies are SHARP!! Yup, you are thinking correctly, Connie cut herself with her new knife set. YUP did it the first day they arrived! Not bad, just enough to draw blood, I was arranging my new ceramic knives for the photo and dropped the smaller knife from just a couple inches above my hand and it took two weeks to heal!! I’m serious, this little knife barely fell on my hand! WOWOW!! and yes, OUCH!!! Yes, I’m a big baby. The Shenzhen Knives set includes the 6.5″ Chef’s Knife, 5″ Slicing Knife, and 4″ Paring Knife. This amazing 3-piece set covers so many of my food cutting jobs. My new knife set will never rust and are super easy to clean. I love that the knives do not hold onto food odors like onions! Did you know that since ceramic doesn’t absorb flavors and odors from foods will also help keep my fruits and veggies from browning as quickly. WHO KNEW!?!? I’ve never sliced and diced potatoes, onions for potato soup so…

    Mom-of-four Gena Lee Nolin is inviting Celebrity Baby Scoop readers along as she shares her life experiences, has The Talk, and asks for advice – as she juggles her busy life with husband Cale Hulse and their four children: Spencer, 16, Caia, 11, Hudson, 6, and Stella, 4. In her latest guest blog – she shares how she and her oldest son can openly talk about sex and drugs. Continue reading her experiences and the advice she gives. It always seemed natural that fathers handled their raging, hormonal sons and mothers took care of their budding, dramatic daughters. Not always the case. Parents have to take on whatever role needed to provide essential information that their teens need, regardless of how uncomfortable it might be for us. Let me tell you, times have changed since we were in school. Being a teen today is like being on a completely different planet. I’ve heard first hand from my 16 year-old-son what goes on in middle school and high school. There are 8th grade girls doing sexual acts behind the school or in the bathrooms and these are in private catholic schools. Yes, it’s really happening!  So, how and when do we have “The Talk” with our beautiful, sassy…

The fact that it is of the Grandbabies, actually, isn’t the coolest part!! My photo is directly on a piece of wood, think of it as a wood canvas! No frame needed! Ready to hang! Sturdy, printed on sustainable renewable wood with eco-friendly fade resistant inks. THAT’s the coolest part!!! Anyone that has been in my home, knows I adore the unique. My new wood print fit’s that unique factor a million times over!!  I am thrilled that my new addition is very durable, I can even wipe it off with a damp rag!  Unique, durable, eco-friendly, not to mention three perfect Grandbabies, perfect print!!
