Nascar Tire Cooler

I grew up watching Nascar with my Dad. One year he brought me to the Daytona 500. My favorite driver spun out in the first few laps, I was devastated. To make it up to me he bought me a model car of my favorite driver - it’s 18 years later and he still hasn’t […]

Sun Jar

Store sunlight, yes, sunlight in a jar to use later at night. I love candles so naturally the idea of sunshine in a jar appeals to me. During the day I can’t seem to get any peace and quiet these days. Now I can save my sunshine and relax out on the back deck with […]

Bath Spa Lights

If you’ve ever looked at those pics in the magazines that show someone lounging in a tub filled with floating candles, the Bath Spa Lights are for you.
I do the candle-around-the-bathtub thing a fair bit, but floating candles would make me too stressed out. Ouch! But these lights just might give the same effect, […]

These silver cellphone earrings are kind of cute. Flip phones (but of course) and you can wear them flipped open, or closed.
Or closed in one ear, and open in the other.

Bacon Mints

I love me some bacon, in fact, it’s one of my favorite foods. That being said, the thought of “bacon mints” don’t especially appeal to me. Call me crazy.

I saw this alarm clock and the first thing that came to mind was my 6-year-old son. He is very much a morning person (unlike his Mom). He wakes up excited and ready to start the day, I love that about him (although not so much on the weekends!).
This fun and functional alarm counts […]

Hydrodynamic Building Set

The Hydrodynamic Building Set looks a bit too complicated for me, in fact it gave me a small headache to look at, (it may be that I am “technically challenged”) but my daughter loves science and would probably be in heaven! Don’t be fooled, this isn’t a simple connect the dots contraption - there will […]
