Innx Dual Seat Protectors

If you are planning on taking a trip this holiday season with you pet then I definitely recommend getting a seat protector.

I got a chance to try out the Innx Dual Seat Protectors. I love them. I drive a 2015 Camry and they have the headrests that are just connected to the bench. Luckily this still worked with them.

They even have an adjustable strap with a buckle to work with the different styles of vehicles.

They have a plastic piece that I tucked into the seat crevice to keep them in place. They also have an elastic band at the bottom to wrap around the bottom of the seat. However, my seat doesn't fully separate at the botttom so I struggle to keep that part attached.

This cover also features openings so that you can still use the seatbelt buckle receivers. I can even use the special child carseat hooks and leave the cover in place.

Overall, this seat cover seems to be pretty great. They feel like they are made with quality material. They are put together very well. The stitching is done professionally. And they are actually practical unlike some other seat protectors.

You find it on Amazon HERE.

You can also watch my Youtube video, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Live Infinitely Double Camping Hammock

Alright, so I think this is my absolute favorite product right now. It is pure bliss. I wish I had two trees in my yard so that I could enjoy it anytime I wanted. Instead, I can take it to the park, the beach, camping, or hiking.

It is really easy to set up and take down. It doesn't require any tools or special skills. I mean heck, I can do it. Once you figure out what you're doing you can have it set up in less than 5 minutes. That's pretty impressive.

This package is awesome because it comes with the tree straps, a carrying case, carabiners and the hammock. And it isn't expensive at all. I never bought one of these before because I assumed it would break my bank, but nearly anyone can afford it. That's pretty impressive because the ones that come with a stand are out of my price range. And I can't take them on vacation with me like I can with this one.

Just because it's affordable doesn't mean it's cheap though. This hammock is actually great quality! The stitching was great and the material was as strong as I had hoped. I haven't tested to see if it can hold 450 lbs, but I know that it can at least hold 185 lbs (me and my two daughters). I'll try it out with a couple of more people and let you know if we tear it to shreds. I doubt that we will though because it's pretty tough. I haven't tried it with an animal, but I'd be careful with a dog or cat. I don't think they could put it a hole in it, but I'd use my best judgement with their nails. But it is huge, so there is definitely plenty of room to share it with a friend or canine.

I haven't had a need to wash mine yet, but you're supposed to be able to throw it in the washing machine. And the color isn't supposed to fade. Which is great because the color is beautiful!

I have used a couple of other Live Infinitely products and I have been greatly impressed with their products. You can find their collection on Amazon.

I love how light it is because I can take it hiking and it doesn't add too much weight to my pack since I already have to carry a 25 lb child up the mountain.

I apologize that I don't have any unique photos on this post yet. My phone stopped working and I can't access the pictures on it. I know I know... I should have had everything backed up. You have no idea how many reports, essays, and projects I have lost over my educational years. And yet, I still have not learned. As soon as I can I will either load the pics once I get them or go take new ones so you can see it in use. Until then, just enjoy these. (P.s They are all from the Live Infinitely Amazon page. They are not my own.)

Vintage Leaf Wide Elastic Stretch Waist Belt

I am drawn to all things natural. I love neutrals and deep greens. I love leaves, feathers, and stones. A shady spot on a lush patch of grass where I can stare at the flowers is serenity. Maybe it's because of my horoscope? Maybe it's because were are made from the Earth? Maybe it's because nature was made for man? Whatever it is, I love it.

That is why I instantly fell in love with this belt. I knew from the second that I laid eyes on it that I had to have it. Once it arrived in the mail and I saw it in person I was head over heels.

It is the perfect elastic belt. It can be paired with so many different outfits. It takes most of my wardrobe and dresses it up. I chose black because I knew I would need something that would match a ton of different days.

It doesn't snag my shirts. It doesn't come undone while I'm walking around. It doesn't lose its elasticity. It doesn't roll. It fits just like the size chart said it should. It is very well made and you will see me wearing it over and over.

O-sip! Silicone Sippy Lids

These are one of the most ingenious creations for toddlers.
Sometimes your child wants their Christmas cup and red Kool-Aid at the same time. And if you have carpet in your house or cute clothes then you know the nightmare that ensues.

The O-sip! Silicone Sippy Lids turn nearly any cup into a sippy cup!

(Can you hear the sigh of relief from moms all over the world?)

How about this one:
Have you ever gone to a restaurant or diner with a toddler and they don't have lids for their cups?! I have. It usually ends with water all over somebody's dish and lap. Even worse is when you go to a restaurant and you forget to take a sippy cup for your one year old. That's a battle over a straw for 3/4 of the meal and then water all over two laps and your food.

As long as you keep an O-sip! lid in the diaper bag then you never have to worry about a situation like that again. Phew!

Any cup with an opening between 2.5 - 3.75 inches will work with these lids. They just won't work with mugs that have handles that go all the way to the brim of the cup.

Did I mention how easy they are to clean? You can toss them in the dishwasher or you can wash them by hand. If something gets stuck in the stem then you can flip it inside out and give it a quick scrub and poof! you're done.

And they're not bad to store either since the sleeve can collapse into itself and then you can stack them.

If you're always getting cups confused between kids because you're one of the lucky households that has a cupboard full of matching dishes then this solves your problem as well. Each pack comes with three different colored lids. As long as you use a different color for each cup then the kids can tell whose cup belongs to whom.

They are also very simple to attach to the cup and remove. If you are super clumsy dealing with a very full cup then you could end up with a little mess, but that's okay when you imagine all of the messes that could have happened if you didn't have these lids.

The only downfall to these lids is my kids. They have a fascination with sticking their fingers into any hole they can fit them in. The silicone does stretch and bounce back into place, but I have a feeling that after a lot of use my kids will end up either tearing these or stretching them out so bad that they do leak. They have done that to nearly all of our sippy cups that have soft lids though.

Anyways, I do like this product and I do recommend it.

Berlando Diaper Bag

If you have children then you know of the Mommy Essentials is a diaper bag. I don't know how people survive without one. I wear mine out. With each child I have had to get a new bag because after a year or two of lugging it around EVERYWHERE it is trashed.

That's because it gets used for everything. It's used for meal times, nap times, play time, vacations, church, shopping, visiting, exercising, and for most potty times. My socks don't even get that much use.

That's why you need something that will last. Something that will hold up when your toddler is tearing everything apart. Something that makes motherhood easier, not more uncomfortable and stressful.

And it would help if it was cute because let's face it, the diaper bag becomes your purse. And I really don't want my fashion accessory to look like it's made from used diapers.

That's why I love the Berlando Diaper Bag. It is cute, easy to use, versatile, durable, gender-neutral, and can attach to your stroller. Pretty much everything I have bought (except for clothes) has been in the green and gray colors because I don't want to have to buy all new stuff if I end up having a boy.

The material is perfect for a diaper bag because it dries quickly if it gets soggy. It can be washed easily. It will hold up after being dropped, dragged, kicked, pulled, thrown, and swung. I can open it with one hand while it's on my shoulder, and I can even close it with one hand.

Plus, there are plenty of pockets. 

There is one huge pocket on the backside that is held shut with a magnetic button. 

There are also two drink pockets, one on each end. 

There is one long, adjustable, and removable shoulder that has a cushion.

There is also a permanent handle on the top for carrying the bag.

Under the front flap there are two pockets with magnetic button closures.

The entire front panel is also a zippered pocket. 

Inside there are two elastic pockets, two open pockets, and two drink holders.

There is plenty of storage in this bag. 

And it comes with an extremely soft, matching blanket. It is the perfect fabric for cuddling. It is the right size for car seats and strollers. It can be used for girls or boys. It is machine-washable and can be tumble-dried.

If you are looking for a gift for a baby shower then I definitely recommend this diaper bag. Any expectant mother would be grateful for such a necessary gift. And if you're shopping for yourself then you can't go wrong with it either.

Brieftons QuickPull Food Chopper, Blender, Slicer & Grater

I don't know why, but anytime I cook it takes me forever. 

The recipe may say that it is 15 min prep time and 30 min cook time, but it's going to take me 3 hours to make it. I am not joking. This happens all of the time. 

It's partly why I hate cooking. My family has gotten used to Spaghetti, Pancakes, and Macaroni for dinner.

But I have a feeling that this new product I have been using is going to change that. 

It's the Brieftons QuickPull Food Chopper, Blender, Slicer & Grater. And it is marvelous! 

I made Sweet Potato Nachos, and it was a breeze. I used the chopper to cut up the tomatoes, avocados, and onions. I used the grater for the cheese. And I used the slicer to make the sweet potato chips. It took me no time at all. I usually save this recipe for special occasions because it takes me so long to prepare it, but not anymore. I had it made and on the table in no time. 

This is probably going to be my most used kitchen gadget. 

The chopper only takes a few pulls to get items into small pieces.



The grater was nice and sharp.



The slicer was so easy to use, and no fingers were cut in the process.



I haven't used the blender, but it will come in handy the next time I make scrambled eggs. 

If you don't own one of these then you need to. It will seriously save you so much time in the kitchen. And it is incredibly easy to use, put together, change out parts, and clean.

You do need to wash it by hand, but that's okay because I don't own a dishwasher anyways.

BZTZ Watermelon Slicer and Pineapple Corer

I love fruit!

I haven't found a fruit that I don't like.

I especially love tropical fruits.

But I am always hesitant to get them. First of all, the cost. I live in the Rocky Mountain region. We don't exactly have coconut and banana trees growing on the corner. Second of all, the preparation. Everything is much harder to prepare. The last time we ate a coconut it required power tools to get it open. That's not as easy as simply biting into an apple. 

And even though we can grow watermelon here it is still a pain to prep. It usually requires a large knife, large cutting board, a tray to catch the drippings, a large bowl to store it, an entire shelf in the fridge, and a lot of time for cutting. 

But you can now get rid of 3 of those things. If you have a watermelon slicer then you only need a large knife and medium cutting board to cut it in half; a large bowl and room in the fridge, and a few minutes for cutting. 

It does take a little bit of time to get used to the watermelon slicer. I don't know, maybe you'll be a pro on your first slice, but I wasn't. I had to make a few slices before I got the hang of it. Not all of my slices were perfectly straight, but they were very easy to make and get out. 

The watermelon slicer is going to make summers so much more enjoyable and simple. 

The pineapple corer was definitely my favorite. It was even easier to use than the watermelon slicer. 

You simply attach the handle. 

Cut the top off of the pineapple. 

Center the corer on the open end of the pineapple. 

Press firmly (It doesn't take much at all) and twist clockwise. 

Once you get to the bottom then pull up and out.

Remove the handle. 

Slide off the pineapple and enjoy. 

You can cut it up into smaller pieces, break pieces off, or enjoy the slinky version. 

It literally took me 2 minutes to have diced pineapple. 

Amazing!
