Cross Post from Tailor Made Momma- W!N a Kids Tee Shirt :)

January 31, 2012 by 1 Comment
While I am not very musically talented myself, I have a deep appreciation for music and the great things that it can do for people.
When I heard about SlickSugar teaming up with Little Kids Rock I was super excited to join in and help spread the word.
SlickSugar sent me us a very cute “Keep the Music Alive” onesie for little Colton.
The tee shirt was super cute. At 13 months Colton is still very tiny for his age and even with a super padded cloth diaper on an 18 months was a little large for him. However it didn’t seem to hang off his shoulders like some of his bigger onesies do. It’s made of 100% cotton
These tees and onesies are available in size 6 months to 5T and retail on their website for $26. You can feel good about your purchase and know that while your little one is rocking a super cute shirt you are helping to support under funded music programs in public schools and helping to bring the joy of music to children who may not have had the opportunity [Read more…]

Prepeation and Safety Kit from the OEM! C0NTEST

January 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

In case of emergency, break glass. Do you have anything in your house for in case of an emergency? Do you have food/batteries/flash light/matches/bottled water, etc? How about a crank radio, diapers, tooth brushes?
This is something we do not want to think about, the “what ifs” in life can be very scary sometimes. But as with life insurance and all those adult topics in life, they must be figured out, especially if you have a significant other and/or children.
NYC’s OEM Face Book page is a great place to start. Even for those of us who don’t live in New York City.

For starters there is a new game on their Face Book page which involves fast thinking and quick [Read more…]

Cake Pop- Review and C0NTEST

January 27, 2012 by 4 Comments

There is a craze making the circuits called “cake pops”. These are cake in the shape of balls, about the size of donut holes. These cake balls are then dipped in frosting/chocolate/anything then covered in some sprinkles, really, lol. It sounds simple and nothing special- but they are really quite good! Easy to make means BONUS!

Another thing you learn quite quickly is, without the proper equipment they are very difficult to make.
In steps the proper equipment, the Nostalgia Electrics Cake Pop and Donut Hole Bakery. This machine is about the size of a waffle maker and works in a similar manner. Make dough, put into designated areas, close machine, let it sit for a certain amount of time then presto! Cake balls.

We gave this machine a try last night and found it to work just as promised. I will say I cheated a bit and did some research online before trying this out. The instruction booklet has recipes in it for from scratch cake mix, unfortunately we did not have baking powder, so I had to improvise a bit with boxed cake mix. I know, its not the same the recipe cake is a million times better. Little Man wanted cake balls and I wanted to try out my new gadget. After some googling and research I found a recipe which used any cake mix and would make perfect cake balls. It is as follows:

2 cups cake mix.
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup water
mix these up pretty [Read more…]

Winchell Mountain Coffee- For Valentines Day! W!N Yours Here!

January 15, 2012 by 17 Comments

Coffee is a must in our house. We didn’t actually realize it until we ran out not too long ago. We have never been a family to make a pot of coffee in the morning when we wake up. But every few days a pot of coffee is made and we, mom and dad, enjoy it. Then one day we ran out. It had been a week without coffee when we realized coffee was needed. So now we always have it around.

There is a great coffee company out there, Winchell Mountain coffee. Winchell is special because each blend is created by master roaster Bob Rivkin. Who creates some wonderfully aromatic and delicious blends.
Recently Mr, Rivkin began working with Sandra Boynton to create some wonderful blends with Ms. Boynton’s illustrations gracing the packages.

We have tried a few and they are phenomenal. The blends we tried were : Country Morning, Wide Awake, Beach Blend, and [Read more…]
