This is the only 3 in 1 LED Flashlight needed in your vehicle or backpack, at all times.



I love flashlights, but when I found this one on Amazon, I had to buy it. This is so amazing, especially because it is a 3 in 1 LED flashlight. This flashlight takes 3 triple AAA batteries and when you press the black button one time, the center light will come on, quite brightly for you to see where you are going either in your home, or if you keep this flashlight in your car.

Then, when you click on the black button again, the 29 LED lights )18 white, 11 red) go on in the center of the flashlight, and the circular light at the front of the flashlight goes off. When the center LED lights go on, oh wow! the lights become really bright and are certain to light your way as your hold it with one or both hands, or if you let the flashlight hang from your wrist.

If, for any reason, you find you are stuck in your vehicle, or side of the road, this flashlight will also flash on and off with red LED lights. This is great for an emergency vehicle who is looking for you from the ground, or above in the sky.

This flashlight, in my opinion, is something everyone needs to keep in their vehicle or backpack all the time and make sure the AAA batteries are always switched out for new ones at least every 3 months.

Let Your Christmas Party Stand Out this Year!



When you finally find a party company that makes, and sells, products you like, you will be their customer for life. This is what I found out with SmartyParty. Oh, I was so excited to receive my box in the mail! When I opened my box and began taking out the plates and glasses and silverware, I quickly took off what was already on my table and placed the plate chargers at each chair, then placed the silver rimmed plastic plates on the charger and salad/dessert plate to the right of my charger/dinner plates.

Then, I placed the red satin napkins on the right side of the dinner plates with silverware to the left and right of the dinner plates and finally, the wine glass next to the salad/dessert plate. Well, here, look at the photo I took of my lovely table! I was all smiles as I looked at the lovely tablescape I had created with the help of SmartyParty.

Look at my beautiful tablescape! It is too beautiful to even mess up right! I just love this whole tablescape because it is, well, first of all, my favorite color: red! and second, it is just perfect for Christmas time. Now, you can go all out and not only make your table look amazing, but wow your family and friends too.

Now, to get your own tablescape, all you have to do is sign up for my giveaway, right now! Just scroll down below for my widget.

Grilling is fun and food will taste better when it is cleaned with the Great Aussie Grill Brush



Everyone who loves to grill, year round or not, will need a grilling brush. Food only tastes good if the grill is cleaned. I am always looking for a new grilling brush because I am just not a fan of my grill looking dirty or unclean because fat, or food, gets stuck to the grill.

Recently, I found an amazing grilling brush from Great Aussie Grill Brush. This is really a must have product for all my friends and family are as much fans of grilling as I and my husband are. In fact, we love to grill year round, mainly on the weekends.

This Great Aussie Grill Brush is made with  extra bristles which allows all angles of the grill to be covered while being cleaned and makes the grates look cleaner than they probably ever have before using this amazing grilling brush.

The old grilling brush I had was not 18 inches long and made with heavy duty bristles, but this Great Aussie Grill Brush does. This grilling brush is also safe and effective for every time you want to grill chicken, beef, ribs or whatever you like to eat.

So, now is the time to buy your Great Aussie Grill Brush and make every grilling experience excellent with an even cleaner grill from here on out.

**Right now,  Great Aussie Grill Brush has reduced the price of the GREAT AUSSIE GRILL BRUSH by 33% to $24 as a pre Christmas and product launch special. This may be of interest to anyone who is looking for a Christmas present for those hard to buy for guys, husbands, fathers.**

These Are The Most Soft and Luxurious Towels I Have Ever Used






So I am always looking for some new bath towels. Well, I found these on Amazon and they come in more than one color as well. When I saw this paisley bath towel pattern, I had to buy them. They look great and better yet, feel wonderful.

They towel is just big enough to fit around my body as I dry down and the face towels are really big, just like the hand towels are.  This is a 6-piece bath towel set and is made of 100% cotton and the towels comes on 4 different colors. I love cotton towels, especially bath towels.

Once you buy your first set, you will want all your towels to be from eluxury supply and give them to your family, friends and they will be great for wedding gifts too.

This Chromed Hose Nozzle Will Wow You Just Like it Wowed Me




Over the past year, I have purchased at least 3 hose nozzles. Well, I think I have finally found the one that works for me. In fact, my twins love it too. They say, "Mommy, this nozzle head does not get you all wet anymore." This is true because all the nozzles I have bought, before using this nozzle head, got me wet every time I used the shower setting.

Honestly, I thought the shower setting was for my trees, veggies and plants, not for me to take a shower. This new hose nozzle head I am using is awesome because all I have to do is turn it to the left or right and the setting changes. The settings are from strong, light and yes, a shower setting that I love.

When I am using this, and I need to set or throw it down, I never get wet and this chrome brass never breaks. Yeah, this is, by far, the best hose nozzle I have ever used and will hopefully have this forever.

My Backyard Garden Box

Last Christmas my parents gave me a garden box for my backyard. At that time, I only put together one box. Well, this week I put together the other box and placed it next to the other box. Yesterday my hubby and one of my twins went to one of our home garden stores and bought three bags of garden soil. Last night we put one in the box and today I put in another bag. 

After the bags were added, I watered the soil, let it sit for a while, then I sowed some seeds for lettuce, spinach and zucchini. I think the spinach and zucchini might not grow at this time, I never know...I do hope it begins to get cooler so the lettuce will grow. I have sowed three types of lettuce: salad mix, head and some other type. 

I certainly love sowing seeds, heirloom seeds, in my vegetable. True, it takes time to see the results, if any at all, from my sowing seeds, but it is exciting to see these tiny vegetable seeds grow and grow. So far since I began sowing seeds last winter, I have eaten lettuce and squash, hoping to eat my tomatoes. My tomatoes are turning red! Yeah. 

I tried to grow red cabbage last winter, but they did not grow. The plants grew and they were awesome, but no cabbage. I will try again this winter and keep trying until I see some results.

Well, here are some pictures of what I have right now in my vegetable garden.

Enjoy!  

Two of my beefsteak tomatoes. One more is growing, it is behind the red tomatoes.

This is my Cantelope growing. More flowers then fruit yet. I just planted three types of Carrots and Pumpkin seeds.

This is supposed to be an apple tree. I have never seen what apples trees look like growing, so I shall see. Emma planted these apple seeds. I think it is a Granny Smith.

These are supposed to be cherry seeds and or lettuce? The one on the left looks like lettuce and cherry (maybe?) on right. Abby planted the cherry seeds.

This is my new garden box. I sowed thee types of lettuce this morning, spinach and zucchini. I really hope, and pray, they begin growing. But, it is still hot as it is August...I shall see.

Finally, these are two colors of Morning Glory flowers. As they began growing, it began wrapping around the trellis. I did not like that so I attached some sticky hooks to the fence and put the flowers on the hooks. The hooks fall off sometimes, I just keep re attaching them. The flowers are a light purple and pink.

Lifetime Garden Box: Day One-1-

My parents has asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said nothing. Then one day I was on Amazon looking for something I could grow my veggies in and came across this Lifetime Garden Box. The box is on the left sidebar. This is awesome and it took nothing to set up. I loved when it arrived. The box was lightweight and was easy to carry to the backyard, open up and take out all the parts.

The best thing about this garden box is it will not rot and it has this tent over the soil, with a zipper. I am slowly growing veggies right now and once they get big enough to transplant, they are going to on into my new Lifetime Garden Box.

Anyway, back to what I was going to talk about. When the box arrived, I showed my twins and we opened it up together in the backyard. They had a blast cutting open the box, sitting on the box, pulling out the parts for the box and oh yes, playing in the box. Oh yeah, even at 7 years old, my twins still love playing in and on boxes. Are you kids still like this?

After all the parts were laid out, I began reading the directions.






 
 
 
 

 
 
My twins, they love doing projects and this is just another one for them to tackle. I am wondering if they will be this way when they get older. This is what we accomplished after opening the box. Then we came back before the sun went down to put the puzzle together.

The Fall Fruit and Vegatable Seeds are Here!

So September is here. It kind of appeared out of nowhere. This summer went by so fast and all of a sudden it is the fall season. For all my gardening readers, right now is the best time to Save 20% on orders of $60 or more with code CAFFCOOK through 9/30!  Right now you can look at the varieties of fruits and vegetables ready to plant for the fall season.

If you have never tried blueberries, blackberries or raspberries, right now is a great time to buy some plants and grow them in your backyard. Growing your own fruits will have you enjoying the 'fruits' of your labor. Backyard gardeners  who plant, grow and eat fruit from their backyard will also be able to share their fruit with family, friends and neighbors.

Along with fall fruits, there are fall vegetables for planting. For salad lovers, there is an array of lettuce to look at and put in your shopping cart. Some of the most popular lettuce are the Fuseables Alfresco Mix, City Mix and Global Mix. Since we are entering the fall months, the Lettuce, Fall and Winter Mix will be something every salad lover must purchase, grow and eat during the fall and winter months. Just because summer is behind us does not mean we have to leave behind the yummy vegetables from summer.

All these fruits and vegetables look delicious. Look the price of food are going up, so it is a good idea to begin learning how to grow your own foods at home. Plus, if you have little children, show them how food is really grown and that it does not just magically appear at the grocery store.

It is about time we get back to basics and learn to feed ourselves again.

My Vegetable (Zucchini & Summer Squash) and Myers Lemon Garden is Growing

My garden is growing and growing and it looks so nice. I am growing green zucchini and yellow summer squash. Some of the squash plants are dying off and leaving room for the plants that are getting bigger. This is what I expected to happen. Since this is really my first vegetable garden, I am just gitty to see how nice and big the zucchini is growing. This morning I was watering my garden and I finally see a single yellow flower on my zucchini. Oh yeah! I was so happy to finally see something flowering. I knew if flowers began to appear on a particular vegetable plant, that means a vegetable is about to appear. I can not wait to see how big this zucchini will grow. My parents are also growing zucchini. Their zucchini was huge! One must have been as big as my forearm. I brought one home from my vacation, ate some for dinner and shredded up the rest for zucchini bread.

I am still waiting to see my summer squash flower and some of these plants are dying off too. I am actually glad because I saw my parents garden and their plants were huge! I have to confess, I did plant more seeds than were needed, but I wanted to make sure somethng began to grow.So, along with the zucchini and summer squash growing, so to are my tomatoes. Even before summer began, I was planting my tomatoe seeds. As expected, they did not survive because their time to grow was not yet. That was alright, I kept re planting the seeds anyway. Yes, I am a novice gardener and will learn by trial and error. Two weeks ago I re planted two varieties of tomoato seeds. Someone told me tomatoes love water. So I have been watering this tomato pot like crazy. These seeds seem to love the water and so do I. I can not wait to see them begin to flower and grow. I think I am going to try a fried green tomato too.

Next to my tomato pot are jalepeno seeds. Just like my tomoato seeds, I have re planted them more than once as well. I am sure I re planted the jalepeno seeds two weeks ago too. Now, I am still waiting for something to come out of the dirt. I used to make my own salsa all the time. It has been years since I have made salsa. Just like my tomato seeds, I planted more than one variety of pepper seeds.                                                                      

Finally here is my Dwarf Myers Lemon Tree.This tree is the same size as it was when I purchased it. My parents have a Dwarf Myers Lemon Tree and their is in the ground and way much bigger than mine is. I am not sure how big this will get since it is in a pot. Anyway, this is my lemon tree and look how nicely it is growing. Last month I saw two tiny lemons on the tree and I was so excited. Then at the end of last month I saw another lemon appear. Two weeks ago I see my lemon tree exploding with blossoms! I told my husband, "Looks like the honey bees have been very busy!" I was just so excited and can not wait to see how many flowers will turn into lemons that will survive.

I love lemons and hopefully the flowering lemons will all survive. My twins want to make lemonade. These are some more photos of how nicely my lemon tree is growing and how busy the bees are and how bees are very important to our food supply. Never take a bee for granted, for when and if you do, it may be the day we no longer have any more food.

The two lemons growing on one side of my lemon tree.
