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.

I'm an avid coffee drinker and can't go a morning without having my starter cup at least. I like to slow sip my coffee and enjoy it throughout the morning. One thing I've had a lot of trouble with is trying to brew coffee when we are camping! I've had some pretty disastrous attempts with paper filters and funnels that just never had a happy ending. My desire for coffee while camping is easily fixed with this Oishii Pour Over Micro Coffee Brewer! Genius!
The coffee dripper is made of laser cut 18/8 double-layer stainless steel filter that sits in an attractive steel coil. The coil has a base that easily fits over even the largest of mugs. It's super simple and fast to get a perfect cup of coffee in less than a minute! Simply set the filter on top of your favorite mug. Put in two to three tablespoons of coffee grounds. Pour hot water over the top and just let it drain through. You can squeeze the base a little bit to get the last few drops out. It took less than a minute and filled the room with the delicious smell of fresh coffee. To clean up, I simply rinsed it out in the sink and let it dry. The filter didn't let a single ground leak through, yet allowed the coffee to flow fast through the bottom. The coffee was absolutely delicious and tasted better than my regular coffee machine makes! It's so quick, so easy and so delicious! This is absolutely perfect for our camping trips!

Me and my family love camping and consider ourselves survivalists. A good flashlight is a must-have necessity for any camping or survival bag! AYL makes a high quality Cree LED Tactica Flashlight that can cover all our needs!
The AYL flashlight is made of a lightweight metal and measures 5.5" long. It is small and light enough to easily slip in your pocket or a side pocket of a backpack without taking up much room. A handy clip is on the side to easily attach to your pocket or belt for quick access. A black lanyard is also attached to the base so you can easily slip it around your wrist or tie it off to whatever you may wish. It takes 3 AAA batteries that you install by unscrewing the bottom and removing a plastic battery holder. Insert the batteries as directed and be sure to put the battery sleeve back in the right position!
The AYL flashlight has a super-bright Cree LED light bulb in it. To turn on, you firmly press the black button on the bottom of the flashlight. You can easily adjust the beam's width from a pinpoint all the way up to a large range by sliding the tip of the flashlight up and down. If you lightly press the button on the bottom, it also switches to a strobe light and an emergency SOS light.
This flashlight is super bright and I love how adjustable the beam is! It's very lightweight and easily attaches wherever you may need it to. The silver metal case is very stylish and still rugged looking! This is a perfect flashlight for camping or for survival bags! If you'd like a really neat, fully adjustable, super-bright flashlight for yourself, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018S4QJNG #AYLFlashlight

Live Infinitely has come out with some really great, high quality products that have become some of my favorite everyday items. I have one of their muscle stick rollers and a cooling towel, and they are just amazing! I had very high expectations for their Infuser Water Bottle, and I was not disappointed!
Since my favorite color is purple, I got the water bottle in the Orchid Purple color. I absolutely love the rich, perfect shade of purple! It's a very nice 32 oz so you can make a drink to last for hours. I hate bottles that are too small, and this king sized one perfectly covers my needs! It's made of top quality Eastman Copolyester Tritan that is FDA approved, BPA free , eco-friendly and leak proof. It's completely dishwasher safe, so you can just take it apart and throw it in there with everything else without worrying about it.
The lid had a handy thumb lock on it, releasing a flip top lid that covers the nozzle that you drink out of. It's completely leak proof, so you can easily just throw it in a gym bag without worrying about it leaking on everything. The infuser part is the first full sized one on the market. It goes all the way to the bottom to make sure ever last drop gets saturated with flavor. I never understood why nobody else came out with this before! There's a very nice no slip grip on the side that won't slip out of even the sweatiest hand. A handy clip is also on the side of the lid so you can clip it to a bag or on your bike if you need. This cup fits perfectly in my car's cupholder, which is a huge bonus to me! To use, you simply fill the infuser with fruit or whatever else you may desire, drop it in the bottle, fill with water, shake and let sit for about 10 minutes. This bottle infuses my water with flavor way better than any other one that I've tried! And if you just want plain water or any other beverage, simply remove the infuser and you still have a nice 32 oz water bottle. It's so easy to clean since it doesn't have any weird crannies that get stinky over time. Every single piece comes apart for easy cleaning! I absolutely love this infuser bottle and how durable and versatile it is! Live Infinitely has done it yet again!

I'm not a big purse type of gal, I always find them getting in my way somehow. I occasionally like wearing a fanny pack when we go on daytrips to places though since they're more convenient and secure. Say you have to go on a roller coaster- you can't take your purse and you have to leave it unsupervised somewhere. You CAN take a fanny pack with you though. But let's face it, fanny packs are considered dorky and outdated by most people. Well not this one! This leather fanny pack is actually very stylish and edgy! I don't mind being seen in public wearing it!
The Hybrid Hip Fanny pack is made of a luxurious full grain black leather with hand stitched white threading. The stitching is very precise, tight and durable and will last a very long time. The fully adjustable waist belt fits waists from 30" to 40" and can also double as a shoulder strap if you'd prefer. The easy pull zippers are of really nice quality, they're not the cheapie ones that get put out there nowadays. The toggle fastener on one pocket is very strong and made of quality metal as well. There is one large pocket which measures about 10 inches long and will easily carry larger travel items. The two smaller compartments measure 4x5" and fit a cell phone or wallet perfectly.
The whole fanny pack measures 10" long, 6.5" high and 1" deep. It can carry all your essential items and still not be too bulky. I love the stylish, modern look of this pack and it is great for either men or women. I absolutely love the genuine leather smell that comes with it! The texture is very smooth and pleasant to the touch and you can tell that it really is genuine leather!

We've been traveling a lot lately, and since I'm pregnant, I need to relax sometimes- especially when it's a six hour car trip!
This travel pillow set is incredibly comfortable! The pillow is made of memory foam and just melts into your neck! The soft blue color is very pleasing and the covering is a soft, velvety type material that is very pleasing to the touch. It comfortably fits around the neck snugly and doesn't have any weird creases or lumps. Also included is a soft, silky sleep mask to help you relax even more. It all packs into a very convenient carry bag with handles so you can take it with you wherever you may go.
I absolutely love this pillow, it is top of the line comfortable! Even my six year old son loves it and he's kinda taken over it on car trips! If you'd like a very comfortable travel pillow set, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0181MMZUG #comfytravelpillow

Me and my husband are constantly working outside doing projects on the weekend and we just have to have music while we do stuff. We live in a small town and the local radio stations only play country music from the 60's. I mean seriously, who even listens to some of that stuff anymore? It can be horrible and we end up just turning off the radio and working in silence rather than listen to some of that stuff. Don't get me wrong, we love country music- just not the slow big band opera song type they always play. Sometimes we just need to jam out to get the job done if you know what I mean. iClever makes a portable waterproof speaker that easily connects to our phones with Bluetooth and we can finally jam out!
The iClever portable bluetooth speaker is one powerful little speaker! It's very small and compact, measuring only 3.9 x 2 x 3.5 inches and comes with a handy silicone wristlet to easily take wherever you may need it. It comes with a USB charging cable and an aux jack as well. When you first plug it in to charge, there's a small light that is red. Whenever it is fully charged, the light turns green. It didn't take very long for me to charge it fully, only about an hour or so. The speaker can give you up to 10 hours of continuous play time! On top of the speaker is an on/off button, volume buttons and a play/pause button.
Connecting to my phone was very easy! I simply turned my bluetooth on and then turned the speaker on. When the speaker turned on, it actually surprised me when it talked and said "Power on"! It easily connected and I was able to play music in seconds. The speaker gets surprisingly loud and has incredibly great sound! This really is one powerful speaker! When you turn it off, it says "Power off" as well. This speaker is also waterproof, and while I wasn't brave enough to throw it in a bucket of water, I believe that it is fully capable of surviving if it got sprinkled on while we are working outside. i love the colors and the quality of this incredible speaker!

I'm currently six months pregnant with my second lil boy! I remember when my first boy was small enough to be in a carrier, it seems just like yesterday! One of the things that annoyed me the most was when complete strangers would come up to my baby in the store and start handling and touching him! Who knows what kind of germs they could pass on to my vulnerable angel?! This car seat cover is really going to put my mind at ease with my next little one!
The car seat cover is made by a crafty little company called Mama Dada Baby. This snazzy car seat cover is in a very fashionable black and white chevron design. The outside is made of 100% cotton. While not waterproof, it will definitely protect the little one from rain and moisture. Which really is enough because who's going to have a baby out in pouring rain anyways? The inside is a soft grey 100% minky polyester- and it is super soft! The baby will easily be soothed by touching the super soft material! To install the cover on the carseat, simply pull over the top and tuck in the elastic bottom around the carseat. It easily fits and installed in just a few seconds!
The cover includes a handy little window flap that you can unbutton as much as you'd like so you can easily check on your little one. This cover makes it a perfect, safe little environment for your baby to sleep in and to protect it from those prying strangers with all the germs! I absolutely love the fashionably cute design! If you'd like to keep your baby protected in their carseat too, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Seat-Cover-Window-System/dp/B018SO95UU #WindowBabyCarSeatCover

I have a six year old son that constantly makes messes. I'll clean the living room and less than an hour later, you could never tell that it was spotless a little while ago. I swear, it's like a toy bomb goes off sometimes. He'll almost never pick up unless I bribe him with a treat of some type. He'll just sigh and try to push everything all in one pile in the corner and call it clean. Sillycutie has made a wonderful playmat that saves me so much trouble!
The Sillycutie playmat measures 4 feet across. It is a nice ble color with a white border and is made of a waterproof material that can clean up easily. It easily folds up into a small bundle whenever you are not using it. To use it, you just unfold it and lay flat on the ground wherever your kids going to play. Let them play and have fun with it, keeping their toys on it. When it's time to clean up the toys, you can make a fun game out of throwing everything into the middle of the playmat. I like to race my son and see who gets the most in the middle first. Once all the toys are on the playmat, simply pull a drawstring on the side. The string tightens the white ring, neatly bundling everything up! It's very quick and easy! The playmat also has two mesh pockets on opposite sides of the mat to keep the smaller toys in. A convenient carrying handle is sewn on the side for easy transportation.
This idea is pure genius! I no longer have to argue with my son about picking up his mess and everything get's cleaned up in seconds! I absolutely love this playmat and I'm having my son lay it out every time he plays with his small toys in the living room!

I'm currently six months pregnant with my second lil boy and I'm trying to stock up on as many baby items as I can. One thing you can't ever have too many of is pacifier clips! It's very frustrating to you and the baby when they drop the pacifier constantly. Then they cry, you have to hope you find it quickly and then you have to clean it off somehow! And if you're in the store and they dropped it tree aisles back and then decide to cry about it, it's almost hopeless. Pacifier clips are a wonderful solution to this frequent problem.
The AlmaBaby pacifier clips came in a nice three pack and are each double sided to help match any outfit. There's a black w stars/ yellow polka dot, green stars/green blue stripes, and red stars/ black white polka dots designs. They are a nice short length to safely keep the pacifier within easy reach without getting wrapped around the baby. The clips are BPA free plastic with soft alligator teeth that will not tear or harm clothing. The clamp on very securely and don not have any sharp corners to cause injury. The lanyard is an elastic type loop that can easily stretch to accommodate any style of pacifier. I double looped it around my pacifier and it held it very securely. These are also great for holding blankets and toys in easy reach as well. These are very nice high quality clips and I love the cute designs!
