There Are MORE!!! The iTOMTE Gnome’s Are Multiplying!!
My iTOMTE Gnome collection has grown again!! I can’t even tell you how cute these little guys are in real life. The beards! The hats! The NOSES!! In October, I showed you my newest additions: plant stake, key chain, and Christmas Tree decoration. Now I’ve added a couple new additions. I have to admit the iTomte with metal legs quickly moved up to my favorite. He’s so stinkin’ CUTE!! The standing gnome has a spring inside so he kinda just dances when touched. This guy is 17″ tall from the bottom of his little metal feet to the top of his ridiculously tall hat! These gnomes are individually handmade with lots of love! He stands with round big belly, supported by his long steel legs. He has a spring device in the body, once touched he dances. The light brown belly and white beard are made of fiber fur. His hat are crafted from red soft plush felt and a wire…

Happy Sunday From Sandpoint Idaho!
I have made an executive decision. Instead of hunting for a funny, lazy, Sunday GIF I am going to start posting pictures that The Husband sends from the new house in Sandpoint, Idaho. Yup, yup that sounds like a great idea. Seriously, this Colorado native, turned 37 year Sunny California loving girl, is gonna have a LOT of adjusting to do!! But, really how cool is the fog?? Yup, The ghost of PBnWhine has once again removed all the pictures. Let’s Ask Google To Swing Around Here Again Every so often I grab a giant digital dust rag and wander through PeanutButterAndWhine.com, polishing up my older posts like antique teacups at a yard sale. Updating old content isn’t just housekeeping, it’s pure SEO sparkle. Fresh keywords, tighter titles, faster images, better links. All the little tweaks that whisper sweet nothings to Google and say, “Hey… I’m still relevant.” Search engines love fresh bread, not stale crumbs. So I’m rewriting, refreshing,…

What is the difference between sediment filters and drinking water filters?
Water is one of the most abundant substances on our planet, which is just as well considering it is essential for all forms of life. The average adult is approximately 60% water! You may not consider the importance of water, after all, you turn on a tap and there it is. You assume it is clean and safe to drink. In fact, it has been through a chemical process to make sure that it is safe; you may even have a water filter in your house to soften hard water or reduce the salt in soft water. This is actually very common as 80% of households in the US have hard water. If you are in need of a whole house water filter then you should first understand the difference between sediment filters and drinking water filters: The Sediment Filter Water has lots of particles in it that are picked up as it travels through the rocks and soil before…

Pumpkin Shaped Wood Diffuser For Essential Oils SO Unique!!
I was so excited when my new diffuser for fall arrived. It’s so cool!!!! It looks like a pumpkin and its a a quirky orange color that matches my bookcases perfectly. I’m really impressed with this unit, it’s just so CUTE! It’s like a ninja decoration because it’s cute and functional. It arrived in a very simple, small box, minimal wrapping and all the goodies were inside. It even came with a small measuring cup to eliminate spills (unless you’re clumsy). The cord was long enough that I could put it on top of the bookcase after a botched attempt to put it on a shelf. The cool mist comes straight out of the top so it had to be in the open. When it says silent it is nearly that exactly, you hear only a faint gurgling from the water but I find that soothing. The unit only has two buttons, one is for the LED light with…
