A good nights rest thanks to Dr. Hart's Weighted Blanket

Thanks to her new weighted blanket my daughter is sleeping peacefully at night, every night. Before her blanket arrived my daughter struggled sleeping all night without waking up at least once, if not more through out the night. Some mornings I would find her under a mound of blankets and stuffed animals just trying to make herself comfortable enough to sleep. She said having them on top of her made her feel more secure. But thankfully we struggle no more since her Dr. Hart's Weighted Blanket arrived. Now she sleeps all night long and wakes up feeling better too. She said it's like being hugged all night while she's asleep. I would say you could call it a teenager approved "security blanket".

Living with and managing Anxiety

Anxiety affects everyone differently. Some people that have anxiety are able to either hide or manage their symptoms so well no one even knows they exist. While some on the other hand haven't been able to find a way to control them...or even worse haven't even tried. Those are the people that often times will pass up any opportunity presented to them to be in any situation that might make them feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. Thankfully the anxiety I deal with isn't that bad. I'm able to function normally in my day to day life with a little help here and there. If you've never dealt with anxiety it can sometimes come across as a person being rude, tense, or just over-reactive to things you think aren't a big deal. But to the sufferer anxiety is a big deal, especially when it's in full swing. That's why over the next several weeks I want to share with you some products and ways that have helped me deal with my anxieties. And hopefully if you or someone you know deals with it they can help you too.

HoMedics Shiatsu Flex & Luxe Comfort Pro Shawl

No matter the time of day I am all about comfort, and I’m all about being comfortable in my own home. I’m not one to go out and get a professional massage so I’m always on the look out for ways to treat myself at home. Recently I had the opportunity to try out a couple of products from the HoMedics line of massage products and boy am I feeling lucky.

First up was the Shiatsu Flex for my tootsies. You know a gal has to pamper her feet after a long day of house cleaning right! It offers three different massage types: flex, deep kneading shiatsu and air compression as well as forward and reverse modes, and even soothing heat for added comfort. Now tell me going to get a foot massage is better than that? I don’t believe it. With the Shiatsu Flex I can sit back in my favorite chair, eat a snack, watch TV, and get my foot massage all while in my favorite PJ’s.

Second up is their Luxe Comfort Pro Shawl. This is not your ordinary shawl. It provides a vibrating style massage paired with soothing heat throughout the wrap soothing those tired neck and shoulder muscles. A customized control allows you to use the vibration, heat or a combination of both settings together. I for one prefer to use them together. It’s a really nice feeling having the heat and the vibration at the same time.

So next time someone mentions going to get a massage I’m going to suggest a combination of these two products instead. Paired together they are worth staying home for!

Ready for some Fidget Spinner fun?

Fidget spinners seem to be a fad that's going to be sticking around for awhile. So why not make the most of it and have a little added challenge and fun? I know for me personally I was bored in just a few minutes while playing with a Fidget Spinner. My kids of course still think they are super cool. I guess I'm just not as easily entertained, I need more of a challenge. Well now that I have a copy of Fun with Fidget Spinners in my hands I'm ready to have that challenge and a little more fun with them.

Fun with Fidget Spinners: 50 Super Cool Tricks & Activities is a new one-of-a-kind guide where spinners can take their hobby to a whole new epic level. Spinners can learn how to master tricks such as spinning on a hat or stacking spinners on top of each other to create mesmerizing whirling towers of color! Spinners can also track their progress and tricks with a handy workbook. Plus, the book provides backstory into the health benefits of spinning.

When I first opened the book I expected it to be all about tricks, but it's even more than that. This book is filled with fun facts about Fidget Spinners as well as the benefits of using them, ways to "change them up" and even how to properly care for them for long term use. For an 80 page book it's actually quite packed full. We are heading out on vacation this weekend and my daughter's already snagged up the book to read in the back seat so she can practice the tricks along the way.

When Fidget Spinners were first released they were all pretty much the same, three gears around the outside and a cap in the middle. Fast forward to now and they are available in all sorts of shapes, sizes, weights, and colors. Heck they even have ones that glow in the dark or light up when you're playing with them. Nothing like a little fun in the dark to add to the challenge!

Just for a quick comparison these three Fidget Spinners besides being different colors all weigh a little different. If you're not familiar with them that doesn't mean anything to you, but if you are familiar you know that it makes a difference while spinning them. For me it's something to do when I'm bored and pass a little time instead of playing with my phone. For some it's a way to help them stay focused when they are sitting in a quite setting and can't stay on task. It's really been interesting learning all of the benefits these have for various people.

Paint your stress away this summer - Giveaway Ends 6/29

Sometimes summer break can be even more stressful than when the kids are in school. There's the constant question of "What are we going to do today?" first thing every morning. There's the bickering between siblings that are now spending A LOT more time together. And there's the lack of time spent in quite all to myself. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, I enjoy having the kids both home. It's nice having someone to talk to during the day, and do things with. But I still enjoy those moments when they both want to go do something with a friend so I have a little time to myself to relax. What do I do with that time you ask? Well I'll be honest, it's not get that extra bit of cleaning done. I like to use my time wisely as I call it by doing something relaxing to relieve my stress a bit. I enjoy doing things like reading, coloring, and painting. They give me an outlet and something I can do all by myself. It's actually quite refreshing and then when the kids are both back home going at each other I'm able to approach it in a whole different mood.

One thing I recently started using was this Stress Less Paint-By-Number Flowers Kit. I like it because it had everything in the kit that I needed to get started. And it reminds me of the old paint-by-number kits I did growing up. I'm one that sometimes struggles with using the adult coloring books because I don't know what parts to color with which color. This awesome kit has it all laid out for me, no need to stress over coloring it the right color!

So while other moms are at home hiding in a closet eating licorice (Google it if you haven't seen the video it's guaranteed laughs) you'll find me sitting at my desk doing my paint-by-number flowers. :-)

For Mother's Day I just want to color!

I've mentioned it before that I just really enjoy the adult coloring books. To me they are relaxing and a time of no expectations. I can be as creative as I want and it doesn't matter how it turns out in the end. Plus it seems like anytime I get out a coloring book my kids do the same thing. So you can just imagine how quite it becomes in my house.

Over the time that I've been coloring there are a few things I have learned along the way.

1. Cheap colored pencils are NOT GOOD. - I'm not saying they have to cost an arm and a leg, but with colored pencils many times you get what you pay for.

2. Test markers on a sheet of paper before you start coloring. - Again not all markers are created equal, some tend to come out too fast causing splotches of color on your page. And some bleed through the pages. Both of which again are NOT GOOD.

3. You can use out of the ordinary colors in your books. - In other words it doesn't matter what colors you use say to color a tree. This was a bit of a learning curve for me being a little on the OCD side. I have sense found though it's much more relaxing to just pick a color and go with it. Sometimes my pictures turn out really awesome..and other times not so much. But hey as long as I enjoyed the process along the way that's all that matters.

4. Pick a coloring book that fits your lifestyle. - If you plan to color on the go you don't want a big bulky book, you'll want one created for on the go that you can fit in your purse. However if you're planning to color in bed you'll want something a little more substantial so it doesn't bend on you. A good spiral book is perfect for this because you can fold it around giving you extra support. All in all pick something that appeals to you. Like for my daughter a color your own stickers book fits her well. It's also always good to look inside the book first to make sure the pictures are what you're interested in coloring.

So if you happen to be wondering - yes I do have a favorite when it comes to my colored pencils. I have found that the Prismacolor Premier® Soft Core Colored Pencils provide me with the color I like and don't tend to flake off or break easily with use. They have a thick, soft core made from light-resistant pigments, to ensure smooth, rich lay-down and color saturation giving you nice bold colors. I like them because I don't have to stop in the middle of coloring over and over to sharpen a broken pencil. I also like them because I don't have to press really hard for nice bold colors. Plus the come in an awesome tin so I have a place to store them so they don't get the tips broken off. (And I can slip them in my purse with a small coloring book.)

I could just color myself happy!

I've been enjoying coloring books from the Inkspirations line for awhile now. I love that they have so many different themed books that I can go between. And I never get bored because I have so many to choose from! I like to color at home and on the go, but have always hated dragging a big ole coloring book around with me. I've been looking for something smaller that would fit in my purse that I could just take out and enjoy a little while waiting in a doctors office or other appointment. And guess what? I found one! It's actually quite compact and I can even stow it and a set of colored pencils right in the glove-box of my car. Then when I want to use it I can just pull it out and toss it in my purse. Now I can color myself happy anywhere!
