iGarden Sapphire Blue Bedding Set
Does anything feel better than a new set of sheets? Except maybe a new set of thick 100% cotton sheets in a beautiful Sapphire Blue! This bedding set is different from the normal set; or at least for me it’s different. There is a flat sheet, 2 nice large pillow cases and a comforter cover. There is no fitted sheet with this set. Starting with the color. This is a beautiful sapphire blue, such a vibrant rich color of blue. The color doesn’t fade when washed. I washed the sheets in cold water and air-dried. I also threw in a white wash cloth so see if the color bled; I’m pleased to report that the sheets didn’t bleed. The sheets are a nice thick 100% cotton. The kind of cotton sheets my Grandma use to have they aren’t silky soft like silk sheets but they feel good and nice and cool to the touch. I love that this set is perfect for all seasons from summer to winter. Workmanship is next; for the flat sheet the corners are not actually corners but rather the European style rounded rectangle sheet. The flat sheet is very large and actually is larger than…
The Growing Sweater by Jason J. Marchi
I want to start right off with a disclaimer. This review does contain spoilers. Â Apparently I can’t trust five-year-old Alice to “tell everyone about the book but DON’T tell them about the ending.” She just went right ahead and blabbed the whole book!! The Growing Sweater is written by Jason J. Marchi and Illustrated by Ben Ouesnel. A super cute story that came at a time that allowed Alice to really ‘GET IT’ mostly because The Daddy just washed her favorite red sweater and it shrunk. Like doll size shrunk. So trust me when I say this adorable book came at the perfect time and made Alice LAUGH out loud!! Granny Quigley knits her granddaughter Ashley (Also Alice’s best friend’s name…. is this book perfect for us or WHAT?!) a beautiful purple sweater with a white lace collar. A sweater that Ashley wears everywhere! She loves this sweater!! Then comes the time when the sweater needs washing. Instead of cleaning the sweater or shrinking the sweater it actually GROWS!! As much as she loves the sweater, it no longer fits and she hands the sweater UP (I’m a funny girl. Not hand me down… but hand me up?) to her…
2017 My First Trip To CES #CES2017
When people say that CES is the largest Consumer Electronic Show in the world they mean IT IS THE LARGEST, most immense, huge, mind-blowing, massive, colossal, gargantuan, monumental WOW!! GET your WALKING shoes on show ever. EVER!! E-V-E-R!! I had no idea what to expect when I was offered the chance to go and represent Zmodo at CES. As a matter of fact, I originally turned down the offer; then my son Zachary asked me if I had lost my mind!! So, Mother and Son road trip was decided. I’m still in awe at the sheer magnitude of this show. Take it from me, if offered GO! GO! GO!! Unless of course you hate crowds then run, run, run the other way because there are more people in one spot than I’ve ever seen before!! With 2.6 million square feet of consumer products spanning several different hotels AND the Las Vegas Convention Center. This was the 50th year for CES.
