Myselfbelts – Easy Belts for Kids

August 30, 2013 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Ever since Little Man was a little squirt he has always wanted, “a belt like daddy”. Daddy wears a belt almost every day to work or with jeans. Yes, sometimes even daddies get a sweatpants day, but they are quite infrequent here since this daddy really hates sweatpants. As school rolls around, we find there are belts in his size and he is excited. He is not great, however, at working the belts. He has a hard time with them. Whats a squirt to do? Myselfbelts is made just for kids, and they make it easy for them to use.

Myselfbelts specializes in belts made for little ones. The belt is the only one handed belt available and is so simple it is surprising it isn’t used more often. To use the belt: one end of the belt is attached to the first belt loop of the pants. Then the rest of the belt is fed through the loops like normal. When you get to the front the unattached end sticks to the attached end of the belt and thus it is closed. The belt is easy to open and is perfect for little kids. There is no where to catch a little finger in and with the wide array of styles it would be difficult to not find a belt which would be perfect for anyone.

Fun Things to Bring on a Camping Trip

August 29, 2013 by Samantha 1 Comment

Once you have the tent and sleeping bags covered, you will want to turn your attention to other camping items that will help makes your trip a success.

Here are some of my current favorite take alongs.

One of the first things you will want to think about is lighting. When it gets dark, your kids will not likely be thrilled with that. Lanterns around the tent (and inside as you get ready for bed) as well as flashlights are going to be not only needed, but a huge comfort to your little campers.

Children will love the HABA Terra Kids Lantern, and so will mom and dad. Kids never remember to turn off lights (or toys) and this won’t be a problem with this lantern, since it requires no batteries and charges when the child winds up it’s attached crank. They can keep their light shining all night long (or at least until they fall asleep) with the HABA lantern. It also features very bight, easy to see by LED lights, a compass (perfect for little explorers) and a padded handle with neoprene cover, attachable karabiner, and alarm whistle for safety, and is extremely well built and sturdy.

For exploring and nighttime, Melissa and Doug have a kid-friendly flashlight that will make any child smile. The Bibi Bee Kid’s Flashlight will be an instant hit, and will chase away any fears of darkness. It has a cute handle just right for little hands, and a happy face that can scare away nighttime monsters. It takes AA batteries, which to access require you to press down a tab and also remove a small Phillips screw so that you can you unscrew the cap. These are preventatives to keep the child from opening the flashlight and removing the batteries.

Gold Bond Powder Spray

Review by Daddy, who used these products.
Powder is a constant every morning right along with deodorant for me. Every morning before starting the day a liberal amount of powder is applied. This helps keep those particular places a little cooler and less sweaty then without and has been the practice for as long as I can remember. The main issue with this is, a small pile of powder accumulates on the floor afterwords. Using less is a possible solution but most times in the early morning, thinking isn’t really a strong suit, so the predicament propagates. And my wife is less then pleased.

Gold Bond seemed to hear this woe and developed a new product to fit this particular need. The product is the new Gold Bond No Mess Powder Spray. The spray is a direct application of Gold Bond which stays where it is sprayed and doesn’t go anywhere else. The powder is the same triple action relief we have all come to expect from Gold Bond, cooling, absorbing moisture and soothing skin, but in a spray form. The spray is available in two varieties Classic and Fresh. Classic is a medicated powder spray while the Fresh has a bit of a fragrance which is not off-putting or feminine in nature.

Turbo Video Game by D3

August 29, 2013 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Video games can be difficult to gauge on the surface, especially ones which are franchises. The gems of these are usually few and far between, but in recent years there have been some notable exceptions. These include Toy Story and the popular Batman: Arkham series.

To be a gem, the game has to tie into the move/cartoon/character while also being fun and interesting. Turbo: Super Stunt Squad is the newest game by D3 featuring characters from the movie Turbo. This game is a stunt based game. Think the popular skate boarding games of yester year minus humans and skateboards and instead super speed boosted snails.
Initially there are a few levels open. Each level is based on a human environment, but from a snails perspective. These settings include a kitchen at a fast food establishment and a nail salon. In each level there are collectibles and upgrades which unlock new abilities as well as open up new portions of the level to explore and conquer.

Juice is definitely a favorite in this house hold. Both of my girls are all about juice. I like to watch what is in the juice that I give them. I most definitely prefer for the juice to be 100% juice. I thoroughly enjoyed the R.W. Knudsen juices that we were able to try out!

About R.W. Knudsen Juices:

He bottled the juices based upon one condition, to never have artificial flavors, preservatives or sugar added to them. This commitment ensured that customers who came up the hill to Knudsen’s Paradise, California, concorde grape vineyard could always buy the finest juice available. R.W. Knudsen Family had no clue, that he truly was starting a tradition of innovation and health-conscious products.

Now that I am back at school, I am constantly carrying all of the wonderful technology devices that I use daily back and forth. With my computer, my iPad, as well as my cell phone I typically need a charger for each of them. Do I use each of them daily, not necessarily, but I know that if I don’t have them with me I will most definitely need them. It gets to be a pain to have all of these cords sticking out in my bag. I was so happy to receive the Cable Wrap from STM.
