    ABC Tracing with Kids Academy

    I truly can’t say it enough, Kids Academy ROCKS!!! The learning apps are phenomenal! Alice is 2 years old and actually writing letters! AND having FUN!! Alice encouraged and praised with each screen. If she doesn’t trace inside the letter a very positive voice comes on and says it’s okay, lets try again. Alice loves this app! Choose between uppercase and lowercase letters, with the ability to write left handed or right handed.Male or female voice. Instructions are clear and easy for Alice to follow. First Alice traces the letter following the lines and arrows. Next write the letter without the lines and arrows, just staying within the outline. It doesn’t mean anything to Alice right now, but eventually she will be thrilled that she can get extra stars for staying in the lines.-3 stars – for successful task accomplishment at first or second attempt-2 stars – if they had 3 or 4 goes at tracing and writing-1 star –…

  • Smelly Towel Cleaner and Smelly Washer Cleaner!!

    Smelly Washer cleaner

    I am so lazy when it comes to doing laundry. Seriously, I will start laundry with the full intention of doing load after load and being caught up. Then 2 days later I realize that the first load is still in the washing machine. So, I have to run that load thru the washer at least twice to get the bad smell out. I kick myself over and over and vow never to do that again (ya know, until next weekend) Now the bottle says Smelly Towel Cleaner, but I have a confession, I have used it on jeans and other clothes that get ummmm ‘accidentally’ left in the washer. I am thoroughly and totally impressed!! Smelly Towel removes mildew odor completely!! COMPLETELY!!! Smelly Towel Cleaner does what 3 washes of Tide didn’t get out!! Then towels! Holy COW!! My towels are as soft and fluffy as when I first bought them!! I had NO IDEA that my towels needed…

    A while back I took my Mom on a girls weekend away. Nice bottle of wine…….. no cork screw……that will NEVER be a problem again!!! And NOW YOU will never have to worry either!! Enjoy!! (And if you are practicing I’ll be over with my glass!!) I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Bust Ghosts) Updating old content is a bit like digital archaeology: you head in to dust the archives and end up unearthing questionable life choices from 2016. Between the over-filtered photos and advice that’s aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud. Lately, I’ve been dealing with a resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine. This digital poltergeist has been busy: How to Refresh Your Blog (and Bust Ghosts) I’m giving my archives a facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing. Here’s the plan: Stick Around! Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house, check out these (very much alive) links:…

It’s also enhanced with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Gota Kola, Witch Hazel and Dandelion. ALL in one little bottle!! So, why Vitamin C? Because it can help produce collagen.
