 Me and my six year old son just love to do arts and crafts together. He's so artistic, I call him my little Picasso and have to buy packs of printer paper for all his artwork! We have walls and the back of our front door just plastered with some of his best creations! I'm always on the lookout for new mediums to use to help keep his artistic flow going. Dauber Dawgs has some awesome dot markers that we just had a blast with!

 The Dauber Dawgs dot markers come in the primary 8 colors- blue, pink, red, yellow, brown, purple, green and orange. They are non-toxic and washable, making them perfect for young children. The markers have somewhat curved bodies and can easily fit any size hand, whether it's small or large. The design is very appealing to kids! They are extremely easy to use, simply shake them for a few seconds, remove the cap and press to the paper. You can get small dots by a quick press, or you can get a larger dot by holding it there for a while. You can even draw with them! The ink flows pretty fast, so watch out that you don't bleed through the paper too much! Drawing with them is so smooth and easy, it's a lot smoother than regular paints! These are perfect for bingo, artwork, scrapbooking or even for making banners and signs! My six year old absolutely loved using these since they were so easy! And I loved them because the clean up is so easy!

  I love coloring, especially with my six year old son! Coloring is a wonderful way to de-stress and relax with some nice quiet time. I especially love coloring mandelas or other coloring books like this one!

 The Amazing Kittens coloring book is so adorable! It has 74 pages of cute little kitty cats in all kinds of different poses and activities. Each page is one sided so you don't have to worry about markers ruining pictures on the other side. The pages are of a thinner material, so I suggest using colored pencils as the best medium. Each picture is very intricate and you can just get lost in a calm zone while coloring! I had a really nice time coloring one of these yesterday to just relax and it was a lot of fun!

​   I live in central Texas and mosquitoes are a constant problem in the wetter months. Usually, they're just pesky and I try to stay inside at the peak times. I'm six months pregnant right now though and with the Zika virus going around right now, I'm especially wary of being outside with mosquitoes! I'm not going to stay cooped up every day though! I like to spend my weekends outside with my husband and son doing stuff. Deet spray is alright, I just don't like the smell and somehow always end up getting some on my lips which numbs them. These Mosquitavert Mosquito Repellent Bracelets help give me a little extra protection this mosquito season!

 The Mosquitavert bracelets are Deet-free and made with all natural ingredients. The package comes with five bracelets, perfect for a small group of people! The bracelets are a light green color and feel somewhat soft to the touch, almost velvety. Six holes in the back help you insure the perfect fit for any size of wrists. They do have a slight smell to them, but it's not too strong and definitely better smelling than Deet. As well as being worn on the wrist, you can also wear these on the ankle, belt loop or on any other object kept close to your body. They last for several days and you will notice they start to dry up a little and the smell goes away when they start losing their effectiveness.
   I've been noticing a lot of mosquitoes lately when we're outside.  Me and my six year old son wore these for most of the afternoon, and I didn't notice a single mosquito around us the whole time! The smell was not unpleasant, I just made sure to keep the bracelet away from my face. The bracelet was very comfortable to wear and I even forgot I was wearing it after a little while. I definitely think these bracelets work and they definitely put my mind at ease with West Nile and Zika virus going around right now!

 Me and my six year old son love to do art together. It's very hard for me to keep pens in my computer desk since my son is constantly running off with them! I swear, I'll buy a 10 pack and then a few days later I can't find a pen to save my life! I was thrilled to get the 60 colored gel pens set from Ohuhu! Maybe I can keep a few for myself! I've had some really great experiences with Ohuhu products before and they are becoming a number one trusted brand in my household. I must say, they did it yet again! These pens are top notch quality!

 The Ohuhu colored gel pens come in a nice plastic box with five different trays of a plethora of colors. These would make a truly awesome gift to somebody and they'd never guess what was in the package! Each tray of pens has a special place fr each pen and they're held snugly in place by clipping the lid onto a strip on the back. This set has every color you can possible desire all in one box. There's pastels, neons, darks, sparkles and even multi-color pens! Each pen writes so smoothly they just glide across the paper. The colors are incredibly vibrant and really stand out. These pens are just a true pleasure to use and the variety of colors is just amazing! I can't wait to see all the artwork me and my son can come up with! This set can easily be thrown in a backpack to be taken wherever you may need them and make a perfect travel set for the car!

  I have a six year old son, and I'm currently expecting another little boy. A common problem I've had is having stuffed animals, books, colors, toys and food spread out all over my backseat, especially on long car trips. It's especially frustrating when we're on the highway, and something he needs has fallen to the floor or ended up on the other side of the seat out of reach. I have actually had times where I've had to pull over on the side of a highway just to retrieve a stuffed animal he somehow can't manage without until our next stop. I was given the opportunity to review this awesome back seat organizer, and it really has simplified car trips!

  The back seat organizer was very easy to install. I has two fully adjustable straps with buckles that will fit over pretty much any car seat shape. I had it installed in a minute flat! It fits nice and snug to the back of the seat and doesn't flap around hitting your kid's legs like some other organizers. The extra large size measures 25.6 x 16.5 and can hold quite a bit of stuff. It's made of a lightweight durable material with tight stitching. A cute gray and white chevron lining adds an eye-pleasing pop that accents my black leather seat covers perfectly! 
  The seat cover has a zippered mesh pocket on the very top that is perfect for keeping snacks or books in. The middle row has three medium sized pockets that can actually fir quite a bit in them! The bottom row had a jumbo pocket with two large sized pockets in front of it as well. All the pockets are perfect for keeping stuffed animals, toys, coloring books, juice bottles and pretty much whatever else you may think of in it. I was surprised with how much room was in this organizer! It's large size perfectly covers the back of my seat to help protect it from kick marks, which is one of my pet peeves. 
 My son was able to easily reach everything he needed in the organizer and it really helped keep all his critical items within easy access. I'm so happy to finally have a convenient travel system now!

 I have a six year old son and he's very active! I swear, the boy must plug into the wall at night for extra energy or something! I love getting him outside to play, and the Vetra volleyball provided us with a super fun afternoon!

 The Vetra volleyball came in a very eye-catching yellow, blue and white design. It's made of a quality PVC material with Soft Touch technology. It's very soft on the hands and feels somewhat cushioned when hitting it. The volleyball came deflated, and we inflated it with a foot pump and a pin attachment. It took a little while to inflate, but that was because our foot pump is old and slow. It sure helped my son burn some energy and he had fun inflating his own ball though! 
  Once inflated, we had a blast playing catch and even kicking it around for a few hours in the yard. It held the air very well and never seemed to deflate even though we somewhat abused it. It was soft enough for his six year old to hit without hurting his little hands at all. The colors were easy to spot and keep track of the whole time. We absolutely loved this ball and just had a complete blast playing with it!

​ A vital accessory to working out or traveling for sports is a good gym bag. A great quality one is hard to find and I hate when they start looking frazzly after time. The Vetra Sports Duffel Bag is a high quality bag that fits my every needs!

  The Vetra Focus duffel bag came in a nice dark black color with an attractive logo on the side. It's made of 600D polyester that's durable as well as breathable. A water resistant bottom on the inside helps protect your contents even if you need to set it in the wet grass. It has dual handles with a velcro strap to help keep them together. It also has a detachable shoulder strap with a padded area and is fully adjustable. You can easily carry it whichever way is more suitable for you at the moment.
  The duffel bag has one large compartment that was actually a little larger than I expected. I can easily fit my volleyball as well as a change of clothes, extra shoes, towel, snacks and water bottle in it with room to spare. It has two convenient side pockets which are very convenient for holding smaller items though they hold quite a bit in them as well. One of the side pockets has a mesh ventilation area that is perfect for putting sweaty or wet clothing and towels in separate from your other clothes. You can easily fit a pair of shoes in the side pockets as long as you're not as big as Shaq. 
  It was very comfortable to carry the bag around with both the handles and the shoulder straps. The shoulder strap never cut into me even though I loaded down my bag pretty good. I can actually fit an amazing amount of stuff in this duffel bag, everything I need at the gym plus more! I love the design and showing it off since it's a brand name to be proud of! This is a truly high quality bag that fits my every needs!

  I have a six year old son that just loves to do artwork. I call him my little Picasso! One of our favorite activities to do together is coloring and drawing. Markers can be messy and not as delicate as we may need, so we love to use colored pencils.

 The Ohuhu colored pencil set has 48 vibrant colors in a whole plethora of shades. They are beautifully crafted with recycled wood and are completely eco-friendly! Each colored pencil is nicely nestled inside a high quality tin case for easy storage which also protects them while transporting. The case measures 11.9 x 8.3 x 1.5 inches and can easily fit into a backpack or travel bag without taking up much room at all. The case has two layers that easily remove for quick access to all the pencils. They are all pre-sharpened and easily marked with a color band on the bottom so you can be sure of what color you are using. Each pencil has six sides, providing a firm and comfortable grip while in use.   

 The pencils were very easy to use and I loved the variety of colors they came in! They drew so smoothly and easily without using much pressure. The colors are soft, but I didn't experience any breakage, even with my six year old zestily using them. The colors blended well without smearing at all and the quality is just amazing! I loved the handy little case to easily keep them all together and safe. I was able to easily identify the colors and the colors actually matched the band on the base- which doesn't always ring true with other pencils! They sharpened very easily without breaking off and lasted a long time between sharpenings. These really are the bet, high-quality colored pencils that I have ever used! I love using them!

 I have a six year old son, and he loves to take snacks on the go. I guess since he's a growing boy, but he thinks he needs a snack every hour! I usually just use sandwich bags for his snacks, but they always tend to open up and make a mess all over the place. Yeah, it's a lot of fun to open his backpack after school and find EVERYTHING coated in crushed goldfish crackers! I was thrilled to try out these resusable snack bag containers by Practico Kitchen.

  The SnackCubby containers are made of BPA-free and FDA-approved food grade silicone which is also freezer and dishwasher safe. They measure 6.9 in x 1.7 in and easily fit into a lunchbox or side pocket of a backpack. Each container holds 8.5oz, or the same as 1/4 of a standard sandwich bag, which makes it perfect for portion control. The snack bags are see-thru, so you can easily tell what's in them and how full they are. They have an attached cap and come with an accessory cap as well that is perfect for putting straws or popsicle sticks in.
   The SnackCubby containers are absolutely perfect for putting a variety of different snacks in! You can also make popsicles or even cylindrical ice cubes that are perfect for putting in water bottles. These are absolutely perfect for making flavored or fruit-infused ice in! Pretzels, goldfish, granola, cereal and a variety of other snacks fit in these perfectly. I packed my son some cheese nips in these and sent it off to school with him. They successfully made it throughout the day without busting open and making a mess! I was so happy! I love these little versatile containers, they're so eco-friendly and help save money on buying sandwich bags all the time! To clean up, just throw them in the dishwasher or rinse out just like any other dish.
