• Screaming Owl Minky Blanket Review

    Little girl with her Screaming Owl Minky Blanket

    You know the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree, Alice is so much like her NaNa; if it’s soft and snugly we MUST HAVE IT!! The softer the better. This adorable Minky Blanket from Screaming Owl is so SOFT and SO cuddly that since the day it arrived Alice has had it with her all of the time! Which reminds me it washes like a DREAM!! Thankfully, because the idea of NOT dragging the blanket hasn’t occurred to Al yet; on the upside my floors are getting dusted as she runs through the house. Alice was actually ALMOST asleep when I snapped the first picture…… yeah …… WAY TO GO NaNa! Alice officially got her second wind and NaNa got no break!! She’s a crack up… and just a bit of a ham!!! Screaming Owl is a very unique store, it’s run like no other business that I have seen before. Each week, Screaming Owl post offers on their Facebook page and their website. Then at the end of the week, they place an order directly with the manufacturer and those items are made to order especially for Screaming Owl customers. How cool is that!??! What that means for…

  • KiDECALS!! Let’s celebrate back to school!!

    This business appears to be closed. BUMMER Back to school. It is the MOST wonderful time of year!! Well, except the whole back on schedule, waking up early, spending a fortune on clothes, the whining, needing a million school supplies, carpooling, lunches, lost shoes, the whining, more school supplies, bath every night, the dog ate my homework, the teacher is mean, I hate going to school, and the whining. OTHER than that it’s the most… never mind, I just let the wind out of my own sails!! I can help you with one VERY important thing with the kids this year! LABEL’S!! You spend a small fortune on back-to-school stuff and having a label on it is one way to ensure it can make it back to your child. Well, most of it anyway. I have the best site to tell you about today. KiDECALS!! OH MY GOODNESS the selection is amazing!!   Everything from waterproof name labels to chalkboard labels, pantry labels, canning labels, gift labels, and the newest member of their online family keycals. These were even featured on the Today show, in People Style Watch, and were in the Emmy Celebrity Gift Bags!! Check these out! SO many labels!!…

  • babyganics Sunscreen! #babysafe

    I may have never used sunblock on myself…… well, ever.  Until my 50’s at least!!  My own kids, well, I did sorta good. Not great by any means. However! This NaNa is so much smarter where her Grandbabies are concerned!! I never forget sunscreen for Alice. We are outside a LOT. We are in the pool almost daily in the summer. I want a great, STRONG, waterproof sunscreen.  I found it!! babyganics. I love so many things about babyganics! First it’s water-resistant. UP to 80 minutes!!  I don’t know about you, but grabbing kids out of the pool or playing in the park to apply more sunscreen is like trying to give a cat a bath! HOLY MOLY KID!! I’m trying to save your skin! You’ll thank me when your 50! Trust me! So 80 minutes is a fantastic perk. More to love about babyganics sunscreens is all the different forms this wonderful sunscreen comes in.  From tube sunscreen to a spray, even single use tubes, all the way to a stick formula.  I received the 6 ounce tube,  SPF 50+ Mineral Based Sunscreen and the SPF 50+ Pure Mineral Sunscreen Stick . From the absolutely adorable, fun, make-you-smile, packaging to the…

    Minky Chenille Mod Dot Strap Covers

    While car seats are a million times safer than they have ever been, the straps still seem to rub and leave red marks on Alice’s neck. It makes me feel bad, I know that has to be uncomfortable!
