Clay Loves His Musical Motion Activity Jumper

My sister gave us this Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper to use for baby Clay! She used it for her daughter, and wanted to pass it along. This is probably Clay’s favorite thing to play on, he absolutely LOVES this thing! He can jump and jump and pass the time so easily! All the fun activities as he twirls around in his seat helps a lot on keeping him entertained as well! It is super sturdy, and that is a huge plus for us, we don’t have to worry about it falling apart!

I think what makes this jumper really nice is it offers so many different activities to keep him mind busy! He can play music or play music and more. He loves being able to swivel all the way around in the seat, it gives him a 360 degree view of the room!

Activity Jumper Your Baby Will Love

He has really begun to play with the sun and cloud, he can pull on it as it is flexible so he can bend it down and chew on it! Clay loves to put everything and anything in his mouth these days!!! Another thing I wanted to highlight is you can wipe all this down super easy! If your child spits up or you want to clean it up, use the cleaner of your choice and wipe it down! That is such a nice option, some toys are almost impossible to get clean, so I love how easy this is!

Is this something your baby or a child you know would enjoy!

Meridian Panel Room Darkening Curtains – Saves on Heating and Cooling Costs!

Thermal Insulated Backing Curtains

We recently bought these Meridian Panel Room Darkening Curtains, and I am in love! They are so gorgeous, I love the print on them! These are thermal insulated backing curtains that help to block the light as well! We wanted something that offered a neat print but was also effective in saving money for our home. We have older windows, so they are not very energy efficient! In time we will save up and get new windows installed!

These curtains do not fully block out all the light, they block around 75-85%. BUT, with that said, our old curtains when the light was blaring in, it would blind you. You can see the light on the window curtain but it doesn’t blind you at all. With it being Spring the sun is out longer, and we wanted our house to be darker say 7 o’clock time as that is when baby goes to bed. These curtains help do that for our living and dining room area!

Meridian Print Thermal Curtains

Designed for a look of elegance, the grommets are spaced in such a way that the drapery forms neat pleated gatherings when left partially open. During the day we open ours up to get some natural light in our house. I love how pretty they make the windows look! They are a great way to add a pop of color to a room, and the print makes a fun statement!

Different Colors and Styles to choose from, if you interested! Plus, you can get rods as well if you need them. They have a ton of gorgeous ones to choose from!

If you want a different print or color, they have lots of fun designs to choose from! Plus you can shop your local stores like Walmart, as well to find them! I just love Amazon!

Sit to Stand Learning Interactive Walker

For Easter, the Easter Bunny dropped off this fun VTech Sit to Stand Learning Walker, for Clay! It is a fun interactive baby walker, that is sit to stand. It is best for age range 9 months to 3 years, but he got his a little early and he is still able to play and have fun with it!

The reason why we picked out this one, is because it has a lot of fun activities he can do, from learning piano, spinning rollers, pretend telephone and more. Plus it has a nice wide handle area for him to place his hands when he begins to work on walking!

Clay can’t stand yet, so for now he plays with it on the floor or we put it on his high chair. The play panel what you see below is what comes right off the walker.

As you can see here the play panel does clip away from the wheel stand, and he loves to sit with it in his high chair and play. He loves listening to the music, seeing the blinking lights and munching on the phone! This is great for your child as it helps to develop their fine motor skills!

Vtech Sit to Stand Walker

This is a pretty affordable walker and it is so nice that it can be used for such a long time! Plus it is great you can use this before they start walking, I love buying things that will last awhile instead of using them for just 1 month then moving on!

I would recommend this walker to anyone who has a baby or wants to buy one as a gift! Very well made, lots for your child to play and learn from, and helps them learn and grow!

What is one toy you would recommend to parents to help entertain them as they grow?

Nespresso Inissia Espresso Maker – Delicious Espresso with Touch of a Button

Espresso In Your Home With the Touch of A Button

I got this Nespresso Inissia Espresso Maker a few months back. I thought it would be fun to have on hand to create Iced Lattes at home. I am not completely tough enough for a straight espresso! That is something that is a bit to strong for me, even the mild blends! BUT, if you are a fan of straight espresso this machine works really well! I am a fan of creating iced lattes!

I chose this one, because it is a nice compact size, so it doesn’t take up to much room! This machine is energy efficient, which is a pretty big must these days, and it automatically shuts off after 9 minutes of inactivity! If you stop and think about it, this is around the same price as buying a Keurig or any other type of single serve machine! This though doesn’t do coffee, it does espresso and hot chocolate. You can make a tall cup of espresso to help tame the flavor so it is not as strong, and can be somewhat close to coffee.

Now, you can buy reusable pods, or buy pods that are already filled with the flavor you want! There are so many brands out there you can buy that are compatible with the machine, which will help save money! You can also try out regular coffee and see how it taste, I personally haven’t tried that so I can’t vouch for it!

I do think this is a great investment if you are an espresso drinker! It will save you from paying $5 or so for an Espresso at your local coffee shop, and you can make it in seconds and not have to get out of your pj’s!

They do have different styles of machines to choose from!

KitchenAid Stand Mixer – Great Investment!

Classic White KitchenAid Stand Mixer

My husband, Adam, bought me my KitchenAid Stand Mixer a few years back I think for Christmas! When he did I was beyond excited as I had been dreaming of owning one for years! I love to bake and cook so I knew it would be a huge asset for me! What I love about this mixer is it is so versatile. You can whip up cookies, mashed potatoes, shred meat and more! You really can use this mixer for so many things, it is amazing!

I have the 4.5 quart KitchenAid Mixer, they do offer a bigger size. For me, this size fits me well, I don’t need the bigger one. The mixer does hold a lot, I was surprised at just how much it can. The one thing is when you are pouring in say flour, you have to be careful if it is running as it can fly out the sides. So I normally stop it, and pour the flour and then fix. I am a messy cook, so that could be the problem! Plus their are so many attachments you can buy for them! I want the ice cream maker attachment!

Kitchenaid 4.5 qt Classic Plus Stand Mixer – My Sidekick!

As you can see it does offer multiple speeds. I normally stir on 1-3, rarely have I ever done more. For like frostings and such I have went over but for the most of items I use it for I use a lower speed. The 10 setting is so fast it is crazy! I truly love my mixer, and it is a little pricey but it is worth the investment! It is very well made, and they can last a lifetime!

They offer different colors and sizes to choose from!

Recipes That I have used the KitchenAid With!

baked oatmeal cups

Baked Oatmeal Cups– these are great for quick breakfast on the go! I like them cold but you can also pop in microwave for like 20 seconds to give them a little bit of warmth!

Irish Soda Bread– This is so fast to whip up and nice and filling! I love it, and speaking of it, I need to make some real soon!

Do you own a KitchenAid Mixer? If So what are your thoughts on it?!

Clay Loves His Activity Triangle

Awhile back I ordered this Infantino Activity Triangle at a discounted price. I thought it would be something fun for Clay to play with. This is great for age of 6 months or older. It is a triangle toy that offers many fun activities for your kiddo to enjoy! From rattle beads, spinning knobs, texture wheels and more. Clay loves to pick it up and move it around and find new fun activities to play with.

This is a great way for your child to develop hand-eye coordination, and I love that. I am a firm believer in buying toys that your child can benefit from in their growth and have fun while doing it!

Activity Toy Your Child Will Love

He is playing with it here, and you can see he gets pretty interested in it. All the different colors and activities really keeps him intrigued! Plus it makes a lot of different noise as it twist and turns around, which is a lot of fun!

I am so glad we bought this for him, it has really been a fun toy for him. He played with this activity triangle before he could sit up, and it was nice. He would just lay on his tummy or side and reach out and play with it. Now that he is sitting up good, he can hold it and play even more.

This would be a great toy for a gift for a birthday or holiday for a kiddo in the 6 month or up age range!

Nutritious Snack for Goats of All Ages

Kaylyn is in 4-H and we bought a goat and we decided to try these Goat Loving Manna Pro Goat Treats and our goat Brittney is loving it! Living in a rural farming community, 4-H is a great learning experience and we were excited to get started. This is Kaylyn’s first year of 4-H and we weren’t sure what to expect. The one thing she knew for sure was that she just had to have a goat to raise. I don’t know how much time you have spent with goats, but it takes them a few days to warm up to you. We were told that if we got some treats for the goats they would warm up to us faster. After doing some research , it was easy to figure out that we try the Manna Pro Goat Treats.

Healthy Goat Treats for Hungry Goats

These goat treats are made with Anise, for a delicious licorice flavor goats can’t resist. They are easy-to-feed nugget form. When the goats hear you coming they start running and jumping from excitement! They are pretty much begging you for their treats in their cute little goat voices. These tasty goat treats can be used as a reward or just a special treat to get the goats to become acquainted with you.

If you ever get the opportunity to raise a goat or two, take it! You won’t be disappointed with their cute personalities. I highly recommend giving your goats Manna Pro Goat Treats, because they will love you for it!

You will have your goats eating out of the palm of your hand in no time if you give them these goat loving Manna Pro Goat Treats! So far during our 4-H adventure we have enjoyed the time we have spent with our goat, Brittney. She warmed up to us pretty quickly after introducing the Manna Pro Goat Treats and I am sure you would have the same luck.

Personalize your My Pal Scout to say your child’s name and more!

I wanted to share a fun toy we got for our son, Clay, it is the My Pal Scout by LeapFrog! We bought this for him knowing at the time he was still a little small for it but would grow in to playing with it! Now that he is a few days shy of 6 months he has began really enjoying his My Pal Scout! The age range recommended for this is 6 months to 36 months.

My Pal Scout is Clays New Buddy!

The one reason why we decided to buy this for Clay is because it is a great way for kids to learn new words, feelings, colors, counting and more. It is a great learning toy that is fun for the baby and beneficial! Plus you can personalize this with your child’s name from your smart phone, tablet, or computer. You can also put in their favorite color, food, and it makes it really fun for the child! When he hears Scout say his name he perks up and gets all giddy!

Can’t view the video, click here to watch on You Tube.

Each paw has a button, games, songs, 5 minutes of sleep time and the power button. The child can push them easily to have interaction with the dog. It does turn off on it’s own after a few minutes of not being played with. So it will help save your batteries. It offers two different volume settings, which is nice.

We love Scout and Clay does as well! It has been a great interactive toy for him that helps pass time, and he learns as he goes! You can buy in girl or boy!
