I have more fun looking at baby items now, then I think I did 15 years ago when I found out I was pregnant.  Today I’m going to share another item from Baby Aspen a sock covered bug, I promise you it’s not your regular creepy crawler, this one is mighty cute! (How could it not be from a company who’s tag line is Give. Play. Cuddle. Dream.™?)

I can’t even imagine what it would be like to not have a washing machine in my home.  Convenience means a lot to me and being able to get my family’s clothes washed and dried in two hours, now that’s something my Mother-In-Law probably day dreamed about while she was trying to treat stains with soap flakes and a scrub brush in 1956.

1956 was also the year that Wisk liquid laundry detergent came on the market, the first of its kind.

My parents got married in the mid-sixties, so my Mom

Have you ever wished the MONOPOLY money that you collected in during the game could be real? If so, you’re not alone! A recent survey conducted by Hasbro, showed that 60 percent of United States residents who have played the game have imagined the cash in the game becoming real money. If the money became a reality, more people would use this cash to pay off debt (70 percent) or buy something for their family (54 percent), before they purchased something for themselves (40 percent). Can you imagine?

Cleaning a grill is often one of those jobs that no one wants to do.  We enjoy cooking on them and savoring the flavors that come off them, but cleaning them?  Not so much.  The whole idea of grilling is supposed to be no fuss right, but cleaning the grill often is.  However, it doesn’t have to be a messy or arduous task.  Simply use Grills & More! let it sit for 30 seconds or so, then wipe it down with a wet cloth.  If the stuck on food and grease is really stubborn, you may have to repeat it a couple of times.

The best part about Grills & More! is that

Most people who want to eat healthy and control their weight already know that sugar is a no-no. Many also know that processed flour is not nutritious. But what they don’t know, and are surprised to learn, is that to the human body, most flours – especially refined flour – are digested in almost the same way as sugar, carrying with it the same health risks.

“Healer” is a 351 page book, written by Linda Windsor and published by David C. Cook.  The novel is set in 6th century Alba, or Scotland.  Its plot is centered around the warring of two clans, the Gowrys and the O’Byrnes, the cause of the conflict, and how it is all settled.

While reading this story I was completely amazed at

I was recently introduced to Baby Aspen gifts, and I can’t think of a better way to welcome an infant into the world than with something from their line up of products. Their products are inspired by their tag line Give. Play. Cuddle. Dream.™

Little Expeditions Ekko the Elephant and Jakka the Giraffe are products from Baby Aspen’s safari line.  Oh how I wish that these had been available last year when my nephew was born.  My sister has loved elephants since she was in junior high, and has had collectables of them ever since.  Ekko the Elephant would have made a perfect gift for the little guy when he arrived in the world.

His Princess Girl Talk with God: Love Letters & Devotions for Young Women

Through 40 devotions Shepherd brings Biblical insight to some of the biggest hardships teen girls face.

Young ladies in the teen years are at a point in their lives where they have decisions to make, but sometimes are unsure of how they should choose.  Peer pressure often collides with God’s Will, and they are left feeling like they don’t measure up to their friends, family and/or God.

Pink is a color that every mother hopes to purchase frilly dresses and bows in when they find out they are having a daughter.  Or maybe you think of cotton candy when you think of the color pink.   It isn’t often associated with men (well maybe on the golf course….), especially not those on the rodeo circuit.

Yet last December a sold out crowd at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (Wrangler NFR) in Las Vegas, was outfitted in pink.  Yes Pink!  And not just pink wristbands, but hats, shirts and other apparel. 

That’s because in 2004, a grassroots cowboy campaign decided,  that they were “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” for the cause of Breast Cancer Research.
