Herb scissors are great to have in any kitchen. Great for anyone who loves to use fresh ingredients in their home.  I love having herb scissors in my home.  They are so handy to have when you are cooking with fresh herbs.  I really like my herbs cut fine when they are fresh.  These Jenaluca Herb Scissors are excellent for cutting your herbs fine for any dish you would like to make.  It is great to be able to cut many pieces at once unlike other herb scissors that cut just one bit at a time.  These scissors make cutting herbs so much easier and save time compared to other products.  I really like that they have a cover to cover the blades keeping them safe from being broken or dented and also keeping them from catching something else in your kitchen drawer.  I really like these herb scissors and hope you will like them too.  


Keep using your fresh herbs and use these great Jenaluca Herb Scissors to make your life just a little easier.  Makes a great gift!

I really like these clips because it makes the job easy.  No need to be creative searching all over your home for something to use to tie up your tomato plants.  These garden ties and clips are so easy to use.  They are great for vines, tomato plants, tall pepper plants, and many more uses in your garden.  In fact I have found many more uses around my home for them and not just in my garden.  I really like that the wire ties aren't too skinny or sharp and cut into your plants like some other products I have found in the past.  In fact they can be moved around as your plants grow so they don't cut into your plants helping your plants thrive. These clips also blend really well into the plant unlike my old stocking tights that I have used in the past.  This is a great tool to add to your gardening tool box.  It would also make a great gift for the gardner that you love.

  • NO NOISY OR CRINKLY SOUNDS - Your sleep will be restful and undisturbed on our thin, cool mattress cover that will not change the feel of your mattress.





It never seems to me like a sheet is enough to be able to protect a mattress. I really like to use mattress protectors in between the sheets and the mattress.  I feel like in my household it makes a difference in keeping the mattress much cleaner.  I really like this mattress protector because it is not vinyl!!  I have used so many vinyl ones in the past and they never seem to last long.  They always end up with holes and I have to replace them in such a short amount of time.  This one is great because no only does not contain vinyl it is very soft and quiet.  It doesn't make you feel uncomfortable or interrupt your sleep like some other styles of mattress protectors we have tried in the past.  I also really like that this mattress protector works great with a child that wets the bed.  It has done a great job protecting my son's bed every time we have had the unforeseen circumstance of a wet bed. We have had all the other blankets and everything else wet but this mattress protector has done a great job protecting the mattress.  It is so easy to use and so effective.  I really like this style and brand more than many others I have tried.  Great for any size of bed.


Add this Sky Bedding Mattress Protector to your holiday shopping list.  This could make a great gift to your wife or loved one and save them much time and hassle in cleaning a mattress.

I usually use coconut oil in cooking and baking and hadn't tried them as a supplement before trying this supplement.  I really like to use coconut oil in my diet.  For me personally it helps with my digestion of food.  It helps my gut feel well.  I have also used other forms of it as a moisturizer for my skin.  So I thought it would be great to give this supplement a try and see how it works for me from the inside out.  I haven't been taking it long enough to see a dramatic difference but I do feel like my digestion of food is better.  I have also suffered my whole life with really dry skin.  I feel like my skin hasn't been quite as dry as it has normally been and I don't have to put lotion on as many times throughout the day.  Just those two benefits alone have been great for me.  I really like to be able to get natural fatty acids for my body in a more natural way.  I usually use coconut oil in cooking and also I love to eat it on toast instead of butter.  Being able to take it in a supplement form has been nice just because sometimes I don't have enough time in my day to get all the nutrients in my diet that I need just in my foods.  I have been looking for something to help me get more natural fatty acids in my diet and I was excited to give this a try.  I look forward to the continued use and seeing what other benefits I feel.

Having a pillow case protector can save your pillow from many things including but not limited to bed bugs, dust mites, drool, perspiration, spills, and many other things.  I also really like to use them because they always seem to make my pillow last longer and I don't have to wash it nearly as often because there is a barrier between the pillow case on top and the pillow underneath.  I really like this pillow protector because of the texture and feel of it compared to others. It is also thicker than others I have used in the past and seems to protect a little better.  I really like the feel of this case on my pillow at night.  For me it adds a little extra comfort.  And comfort in knowing that my pillow is also protected if one of my kids comes and lays in my bed with me and drools all over my pillow.  I really like these cases because they are really easy to use.  They were really easy to put on. I have come across some others in the past that ran a little too small so it wasn't very easy to get a standard size pillow inside even though it was made for a standard size pillow.  These covers fit great and also give your pillow room to breath without squishing your pillow into a shape you don't want.  These pillow case protectors are great and I highly recommend them.


Give the gift of a drool free pillow by giving a Sky Bedding Zippered Pillow Case Protector set!  With the holidays approaching add this to your holiday gift list even if it is for yourself.  I really think you will enjoy it.

Glee Gum Gum Pops Review & GIVEAWAY

**I received the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other products or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**


Glee Gum just came out with another great new product.  My kids were really excited to be able to try this new treat.



We always love to try new products from Glee Gum.  This new product was just as great as all the other products we have tried.  I love that glee gum uses natural ingredients.  These gum pops were awesome.  There are 3 great flavors in this package: sweet strawberry, crisp green apple, and juicy orange.  My favorite is the sweet strawberry just because I love strawberry flavored candies.  My children loved all the flavors included in this package.  The green apple flavor tastes like green apple but isn't too tart like many other green apple flavored candies.  The only thing I didn't like was that the pops themselves are a little hard to open.  I had to help my 8 year old open the pop using scissors just so she could eat it.  She didn't mind at all and loved the Gum Pop so it was just fine.   I loved the Gum Pops myself.  My son also loved them as well.  


I absolutely LOVE that Glee Gum uses natural ingredients in their products!!  The lollipops are not heavily colored because they are not overloaded with food coloring like other products.  These natural ingredients and more natural sweetener than other products makes me feel good about being able to give my children this treat.

Check out Glee Gum and see what other great products they have!!


I LOVE glee gum!!  They have so many great flavors to choose from in their line of gum. You can find them not only online but at specialty stores.

This is the Place Heritage Park Visit & GIVEAWAY

**I received tickets to visit the park in order to give an honest review.  No other compensation or products were received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.** 


This is the first opportunity I have ever had to be able to go to This is the Place Heritage Park.  We were so excited to have the opportunity to go as a family.  I always love to go sight seeing and find out a little more about history.  This is the Place Heritage Park is a great local Utah attraction.  It is located right across the street from the Hogle Zoo.  This is a great place for locals to go and take your family for a great day of fun, or anyone if you are paying a visit to Utah.


There are some great monuments to see at This is the Place Heritage Park.  Many of these monuments depicting the settlement of Utah, the settlement of the United States, the Pony Express, and many other great monuments.   These monuments were really neat to see.  I had never seen them before and it was fun to learn about more of the State of Utah, history about our country, and enjoy the beautiful workmanship of these great monuments. 


This is the Place Heritage Park is ready for fall and Halloween!!  They have great fall decorations throughout the park as well as upcoming events.  


The Witches Ball is one of the great upcoming events going on at the park for the Halloween Season. There is also the Haunted Village coming to the park.


I have heard great things about the Haunted Village at This is the Place Heritage Park.  We visited the park before these great events so we didn't have the chance to check them out.  Several of the employees talked about the Haunted Village and told us what a fun time of year it is at the Park.  It would definitely be something I would love to visit someday.  It sounded like tons of fun from what we were told about these events. 

So many events come and go throughout the year that there is almost always something fun going on to be able to participate in.  Earlier this year they had the baby animals at the park.  My kids would have loved to have gone to see that.  


Instead they had fun milking the fake cow.  It was fun to watch them try to do it especially since they have not seen how a cow is milked.  This was such a fun learning experience for my kids and they loved every second of it. 


One of their favorite parts of the visit to the park was the pony rides.  My children LOVE pony rides and there are not too many places we have found nearby that have pony rides.  They enjoyed it so much that my daughter wants to go back there again just to ride the ponies. 



There is also a really great play area where children can just play and use their imaginations.  My children loved the wooden train and miniature buildings depicting the town.


They had so much fun going door to door at the little buildings. Fun to watch them keep going in and out of the buildings and pretending to be the different types of workers that would be in those types of buildings.  The fire house was their favorite.  This area was so cute and fun for kids.  My children loved this area so much we had to do a little coaching to get them to move on.  It was so fun to watch them play.


It was a lot of fun to go through the houses at the park and teach my children about history and how different things were over 100 years ago than they are today.






This little gift shop inside the park is so much fun.  My children loved looking around at all the old fashioned type candy and toys.  I absolutely love the look of this little store. 


At the tannery we learned about leather and how it is made.  Then we learned how they made different types of leather items and how they made them decorative.  My children had the chance to stamp their own piece of leather.  They loved being able to do it themselves and seeing that they could create different designs.  The men in the leather shop were so entertaining.  One of my favorite parts about the tannery was how knowledgable the men were, and how happy and excited they were to teach the children & share what they knew.



Of course what kid doesn't like a train ride?? There were two types of trains at This is the Place Heritage Park and of course my children had to ride both of them.  This larger train was a train that took you around the park.  It was great to hear the conductor talk about the park as you passed different sections.  This helped us learn much more about the park than we would have learned if we had just been walking around the park on our own.




This smaller train went around a pond and it was more of a ride for the kids.  Of course they had to ride it and they loved it.


A great part of the park is the discovery area with this awesome ship and other things for children to discover and play on.  My children were no exception.  They loved this ship.  It was put together with such great craftsmanship. I was very impressed with so much I had seen around the park and how much detail things have depicting the correct time period. 


Besides the pony rides the other favorite for my children was panning for gold.  They had this little river for people to pan for gold.  My children tried to collect as much gold as they could in the time we allowed.  Then we took the gold to the bank to see how much the gold would have been worth in the time period when panning for gold was most popular in the west. They had so much fun doing this that they keep talking about it and asking when they can go back and pan for more gold.  Of course it was just pyrite but they enjoy it just the same.
