Baby-Cook!


HI there! Let me review something...




Here you have a Beaba Babycook Baby food maker!
Yes...it is certainly one of the most convenient products I own right now!
It is a three in one deal...steams, process-purees, and defrost/reheats all in one!


I do love it...it has made making my own food-so.very.easy!


I do have one complaint though...When processing the food-you have to hold the knob to process...I really wish it was more like a switch--I wish I could turn it to the right-and let it whirl away while I pick up 1,000 toys off the floor while my child sits in his high chair while I slave away making his food...{wink, wink!}


Here are some of the features I love...{straight from their website!}
The BEABA Babycook Features:
• BPA-Free
• Made of safe Polysulfone that won't leach into food.
• Cooks and purees baby's food quickly and easily.
• Defrosts and reheats stored baby food.
• Steamer automatically turns off when food is done.
• Preserves vitamins and flavors.
• Control consistency of food with smooth puree or more texture.
• Easy to clean.
• Bowl and basket are top rack dishwasher safe.
• Convenient recipe and meal booklet.
• Saves money on babyfood.
• Eliminates babyfood jars and packaging.
• Sleek modern design looks great on the countertop.


Now...I did get these as a gift too....these are the silicone food storage trays.

I am in the process of complaining to the company...

Why, you ask? Well...let me tell you...After only 1 use in the freezer---the silicone tray smells like AWFUL freezer burn...really, it does! I am super sensitive to smells...but, my husband even noticed it. And...my little one has not liked any of the foods from the tray! But...has been fine with the other things I have prepared....and frozen in other containers!
Grrr....so, I am going to complain and see where that goes!

A note from the product information:
Get moisturizing protection for baby's sensitive skin with Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Sunscreen. Protect fingers, toes, and all those cute little baby creases from the harsh sun. Dermatologist-tested formula contains organic essential oils and protects baby from UVA and UVB rays. Isn't that nice?

life

Well--it seems life has taken over these past few weeks, well, let's face it, months!
But...I do enjoy this blog-and I hope to keep it up!
So....here is my attempt at getting going again!

AND...here is a little something that makes life easier these days.
meet Della!
Who is that you might ask...Well...she is my purse/wallet/pretty girl!


i love this girl...she is so easy to throw in my diaper bag---yet -I can grab her for a quick run into the grocery, coffee shop, and even a {gasp} night out! Hobo makes makes so many gorgeous bags and wallets....I could collect them...but, I won't! For now-this girl is my BFF! I love having a pretty wallet to grab on those days---well...that I feel a bit drab!
And...another helpful bit of info...Miss Della can hold: checkbook, credit cards, pen, cell phone, and a lip gloss...nice, huh! {wink, wink!}
I'll be back...sooner than later this time!

Burt's Bees!


Head on over here to score a FREE sample of Burt’s Bees Multicare with Fluoride (0.5 oz) toothpaste + a coupon for $1 off any Burt’s Bees Toothpaste! I'll be back in 8-12 weeks with a review! Happy brushing.

Lavender+Vanilla=relaxing!

Bath and Body Works...
so....I don't love B&BW--most of their scents are a little too much for me.
With the exception of one...Hello Lavender Vanilla.
This soft, light scent is perfect....so relaxing.
Now....this product claims to help you relax and de-stress before sleep...
Well...I can't say it does that----but, is sure does have a calming aroma!
The candle and body products really do leave a smile on my face!
I love the hand soap too!!

This is a great happy for you...or a wonderful little something to add
to a gift basket...baby gift{for mama} or...any gift!
Also...they even have this scent in a "wall flower!"
I have to confess....i have one...I use it next to the kitty box...really helps!
{wink, wink!}
And...right now at B&BW---you can buy 2-get one free of this line!
I might have to run over and stock up on candles and hand soap!

Tub, Tile, and Toilet

It is no secret I have a deep affection for Mrs. Meyer's!


After spending lots of time cleaning this weekend...I have something to share!


i love this product!


Mrs. Meyer's Surface Scrub is an incredible, trusty, and dependable product.


This stuff really cleans...I cleaned my tub, toilet, and tile all with this stuff.


It reminds me a lot of Comet---but, with a much better smell!!!

come back scrub a little more and rinse...

and there you have it---a squeaky clean surface...and a wonderful smell too!
I have the lavender scent...love it..nice and fresh!

Pomegranate Citrus!

Meet my favorite bathroom candle...
This candle has such a nice light scent...not overpowering, at all.
The light "currant" and citrus scent leave
such a soft, soothing aroma in the air--wonderful for any powder room!
These candles are on the pricey side---but, I usually get a small votive--
they last a while {around 18 hours!}--soy based--burns slower!
Hope you enjoyed candle week.
BUT...I still have MORE candles to share...
maybe I'll revisit candle week again {soon!} !
Have a great weekend!
Head out and get you a springy, fresh smelling scent!
Happy First day of Spring {tomorrow!!}

Beach in a "glass"

Have you heard of Amy Head cosmetics?
This is one awesome store, really, it is!
If you live in the {205}--the store recently move the the strip in Homewood!
STOP...and check it out!
BTW...they do complimentary makeovers---really...they do!
...I'll be posting some awesome products from here soon!
And...here is one my favs...
Meet...Beach Morning candle.
Oh...this candle is hea-ven-ly!
It has a bright, fruity, floral smell..it is DI-vine!
I also have found this to be handy in the baby's room!
There are 2 other scents...
One of Those Nights and New York Afternoon
All have totally different smells...Beach Morning is my favorites though!

Fruit and Flower

Essential Elements makes a nice candle.
My favorite scent is: Raspberry & Geranium
This 3 wick-vegetable wax blend burns nice and slow.
It cost around $10.00. {last a long time!}
They also make the reed sticks---nice scent in a bathroom!

This candle has a nice fruity/flowery smell...great for spring!
I have seen these all over...but, I see them most often at
Publix and CVS!
I like to keep one of these in my kitchen!
Does a great job covering up not so pleasant smells--
and...it is just a nice, light scent.

{"EE" also has other scents-have not tried them-but, I will!
I am just hooked on this smell right now!}

"Wick" one you like?

It's candle week at {one} product junkie!
I will be sharing and reviewing some of my favs!
I love me some candles...So..."wick" one do you like best?
Please share...I am a candle...junkie!

Blue Lava


Aspen Bay Candles makes a wonderful product!

Enter in...Capri Blue-Volcano!
Oh...this candle...Oh...this candle.

For one thing, I just love the bright blue container it comes with-

so bright and cheery!

The scent...Oh, the scent!
It is so bright and refreshing!
Burns slowly because it is a soy wax candle.
The scent is not too overpowering-it is light and airy!
On the fruity side-not a spicy candle.

Straight from the manufractures description:

tropical fruits, sugared oranges, lemons, and limes,

redolent with lightly exotic mountain greens

I wish you could sniff this through the screen---it is just delightful!

This little tin size above is $12.00 at Anthropologie.

That is where I get mine-I am sure they can be found elsewhere---

but, gives me an excuse to go and dream shop there!

This candle would be an excellent happy for

somebody who is having a bad day--or YOU!

I like to throw these in baby gifts too...a little something for mama!

And...I love to burn this in my nursery when the stink is just too much-ha!

Speaking off...gotta run...better light this before I take care of this diaper-

oh my!

Be back tomorrow with another glowing review--

heehee-couldn't resist!

Oh...they have other scents in the Capri Blue: {you might like to try others...}
Aloha: freshly picked orchids, jasmine and gardenia, entwined with white blossoms
Peeled Naval Orange: the sweet essence of a fresh orange with the tart zest of rind
Black Currant Cassis: Fresh-picked cassis buds, sweetened with summer berries

Another Wine Down...

Well..I am back, I think!
Still not 100%...but, feeling better.
Wanted to share a delish Malbec with you...and the best part...
it is right around $10.00 {maybe less!}
I found some for $8.99 tonight!
Conquista Malbec 2008 is a nice smooth, subtle spice, dark fruit wine.
If you like a Malbec-and don't want to spend much-
Give this a try!
Have a great weekend!
Be back next week!
