I am not a chef, I’m a meat and taters kind of cook. Oh I want to be that Master Chef or wield a knife like Gena Davis in A Long Kiss Goodnight!! (this clip has some strong language so be warned) As soon as this Chefs Knife arrived I immediately flashed to Gena. Yeah, chefs do that!! So of course I tried to chop like Gena; ummm this knife is SHARP. VERY SHARP!! Right through my finger nail even. This knife is so sharp it didn’t hurt!! I didn’t feel it cut my thumb! Don’t panic, it was a little no stitches needed cut! Just know, Gena Davis I am…

Today’s review product sure came in handy last week!! Alice had her first Pre-school cold. Yup, with Pre-school comes tons of fun stuff!!  Great stories, art work, friendships and of course the sharing of germs. Thank you very much for bringing those same germs home to the NaNa! (Who by the way is STILL SICK a week later!! Yes, that WAS a whine!) All whining aside, Alice was truly miserable, hot, achy and grummmpy!!  So I pulled out the box of BeKoool gel sheets and put them to the test.  Alice is going thru a stage right now of not liking anything NEW!  So when I first show her the box there was…

Go Broncos!!! As in Denver Broncos!!  What do scarves and football have in common?? Well, nothing really!! Except that; the second I laid eyes on this silk scarf I HAD TO HAVE IT!!! The main color is a stunning orange and the boarder is a deep navy blue. HELLO Bronco Colors!! 7 and 1 baby!! It’s true I’ve lived in California more than half of my life but I am a Denver Bronco fan to my very core! I wear my jersey and Bronco T-shirts with pride and now with a stunning accent piece!! This scarf truly has nothing to do with football. This is NOT a Bronco scarf, it’s only ME and…

Back in June I wrote a review for the Venta LW45 Airwasher, The Venta is truly an air washer!!  A compact unit that cleans and humidifies up to 800 square feet!!! We use our Venta EVERY SINGLE day!! The drought here in California truly has turned the land to brown, which means that my house is situated in the middle of a dust bowl that I call a yard.  It also means that if you move anything in my house you have to dust that area!! Yes, it’s very dusty. V-E-R-Y dusty. My allergies have been bad! My nose is dry, my eyes are itchy. This amazing Venta Airwasher is compact in…

Cuteness OVERLOAD headed your way!! Check out this toddler sized shopping cart!!  Oh my gosh, this is the cutest thing ever!! The second I saw it I knew this would make an excellent Christmas gift for 4-year-old Alice!!  If I want to shop in peace I pick a store that has the toddler size carts; Alice will happily follow me for as long as I want to shop. She’s been known to throw a tantrum (shocking right?) if I finish before her little cart is filled! This little cart went together in seconds. The little cart is durable and well made. The front wheels pivot 360 degrees. The handle has a…

Brrrrring, Brrrrring, 1984 calling… We are going to need your foam headphones back. Yeeeeeeeaaaaah, these haven’t been relevant for like 20 years and I’ve been fine with that because unless I was in front of a computer in Starbucks or on an airplane there has been no reason to wear headphones. That is, until now, because lately the options for entertainment in my house have been reduced to either an endless loop of YouTube Unwrapped videos, NASCAR or some myriad of mind-numbing housewife dramas on Bravo. Spending 12-14 hours a day at work or school most of the week I take the 30 minutes to 1 hour of TV I…
