Meet the Binky Fairy!!
Thumbuddy to Love, The Binky Fairy. First, how adorable is this book and doll?? SUPER cute, and the perfect size for 2 year old Alice. I couldn’t wait to review The Binky Fairy!! My Granddaughter Alice always seems to have that dang binky in her mouth!! Since I spend weekdays with her, I’ve made it my mission to ban the binky!!!! NaNa’s main reason……. pictures!! Her parents can worry about teeth issues my only motivation is pictures!! This is a super cute little book. With colorful illustrations and wonderful suggestions to ban the binky. Blank pages in the back to write notes to Alice about her journey to ban the binky! There is a chart and star stickers to mark progress. Alice and I read the Thumbuddy to Love, The Binky Fairy book a couple of times a day. When Alice puts her binky in her mouth I’ll grab the Binky Fairy and say “Alice! The Binky Fairy is watching!!” Alice literally THROWS the binky across the room and runs to grab the fairy doll. YEA!!! We’ve made progress. Each time Alice gives up the binky she gets a star on one of the pages in the back…

Crafting Calm by Maggie Oman Shannon
I knew within the first couple of pages of Crafting Calm, by Maggie Oman Shannon, I knew this book was meant for ME!!! One of the first things that Maggie talks about is her work space is not clutter free. Like me, Maggie needs the visual of her craft idea’s and treasures around her to work. People look at my work space and ask ‘how can you work in here?? There are so many distractions. But, for me, having piles of fabric, rows of paint, photo’s everywhere is calming for me. It brings out my creativity! With Crafting Calm you can literally “craft the crazy away!” Crafting Calm is more powerful than a craft book. It’s a spiritual guide, it’s peace of mind, it’s calming and exploring your creativity. Maggie gives idea’s, history and quotes throughout the book. Crafting Calm brings together creativity, spiritual practice mixed together with the love of arts and crafts to bring calm into your life. This book is AWESOME!!! It’s written in such a caring and loving way that you can’t help embracing your new outlook. Seeing future creations out of ordinary things. As theologian Mary Daly put it: “It is the creative potential itself in…

My New Favorite Bra!! Coobie!
Truly, when Coco’s Closet says “The Coobie Bra is the ultimate bra” they aren’t just a whistlin’ Dixie. I’ve washed it, dried it in the dryer, I’ve worn it countless times and I have to admit THIS IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE bra I’ve EVER E-V-E-R worn!! EVER!! This bra is made of a very soft stretchy nylon. There are removable foam inserts. The inserts give you just enough padding. The inserts are great for that smooth look under t-shirts. This bra is scoop neck and seamless. The straps are thin but they DO NOT fall off your shoulders!! The straps are fully adjustable. Coobie also comes with a set of clear straps for more versiblitly. There is ruching in the center and ribbing on the side. There is a comfortable stretch band along the bottom of the bra all the way around. The back does NOT ride up. This bra stays put, stays comfortable and looks great ALL DAY LONG!!!This bra slips over your head and provides excellent support with no underwire!! HELLOOOOO comfortable bra!!It’s pretty! There is lace in the center up to the strap.This bra quickly became my very favorite bra!! The Coobie comes in regular and plus…

I don’t know what it is about diamonds that calls to me, all I know is they DO!! LOUDLY!!! I will notice a beautiful diamond from across the room. My ‘other’ daughter Jill has a diamond ring that makes all other diamonds cry! Yes, I do, love me some DIAMONDS!! Tacori jewelry has recently hit my radar. These are stunning and beautiful pieces of jewelry!! I found Tacori Jewelry on Whiteflash.com. Whiteflash (love the name! After all, a beautiful diamond is a white flash of light isn’t it??!!) came on the diamond scene in 2000 bringing super ideal diamonds. Whiteflash has huge inventories of certified diamonds at the most competitive prices. All of their diamonds have the MOST informative information about each and every diamond. Their diamonds are A CUT ABOVE Super Ideal Diamonds which if you ask the experts and diamond connoisseurs are the finest diamonds in the world. Whiteflash even earned the distinction of being “Lord of the Online Rings” in Kiplinger magazine. I think, one of my very favorite Tacori rings at Whiteflash is…
