Ezy Garden Knife Review

I love gardening. I spend most of my summer out in my garden. I have cut in a couple very large gardens at my house and it can be a huge job. My yard is full of roots, some of them huge and very hard to break. I worked really hard doing it, and if I had had one of these Ezy garden knives at the time it would have saved me so much time and work.

This is an all in 1 gardening tool. Whether you are digging, weeding, getting rid of roots or  transplanting, this tool can do it all. It has a sharp serrated edge that can slice through those big roots or branches, divide perennials or even cut open bags  of mulch. On the other side is a super sharp stainless steel blade lets you dig, scoop and mix soil easily. It also comes equipped with measurements on the blade which make planting easy and convenient.This knife is extremely strong and durable. It's rust resistant and it comes with a very nice heavy duty leather sheath to protect it when it's not in use.The sheath has a loop that can easily be snapped on to your belt for easy carrying. The wooden handle is smooth and easy and comfortable to hold. It's very well put together and strong. The great part is that the knife is backed by a lifetime warranty.If you'd like to get one of these extremely useful tools, you can find it on Amazon here.

#BehindTheBlogger: I Could Only Imagine

I'm back again with another post inspired by a writing prompt from #BehindTheBlogger. This week  we are prompted to interpret the phrase " I Could Only Imagine".
     I Could Only Imagine...what my life would have looked like if all of the wishes or needs I've ever had in my life had been fulfilled. Because we are always learning and growing, some of the things we wish and hope for at certain times in our lives, are not necessarily what's best for us overall but only fulfill some need we think we have in the moment. I'm sure that If I had followed a different path, I would have learned different lessons and it may have shaped me into a completely different person. I was someone who always had a specific plan and timeline laid out for myself when I was young. As I'm sure you all know, life doesn't always follow your plan. It turns out, this may be a good thing. For Instance if your particular timeline said that you would be married by age 30, and you were in a relationship that didn't quite feel right, but because of your plan you forced it to be the right one because it was "at the right time" ,  and then you ended up with an unhappy marriage and then divorce, wouldn't it have been better to throw away the plan and wait till it felt right?  Though it may feel stressful when your life is not following your plan, it's great when you realize that it doesn't need to. #BehindTheBlogger Sidebar Button Thank you for reading a story from #BehindTheBlogger Hop. Every 2 weeks a group of bloggers is given a writing prompt. These prompts are very open ended, so our bloggers can write about whatever they desire.

Enchilada Beans and Rice Survival Food Review

In this day and age, there seems to be a lot more survivalist, shows about surviving in the wild, talk after apocalyptic survival etc. While a lot of this may be pretty out there, it doesn't  hurt to be prepared for some kind of emergency, even if it's for some type of natural disaster or inclement weather or even a camping kit. This may just be a small survival kit, including water, food and medical supplies. If you'd like to be prepared, here is a good place to start. This meal is freeze dried, beans and rice. It is a portion for 2 people that comes in a small  package, that is easy to store or travel with.

This food is made with quality ingredients an bold flavors, and the science that will make it last for a long time, until you need it.  The thing that stands out with this brand among the competition is the way they package their foods. There is no use of MSG or harmful ingredients like hydrogenated oils, syrups, trans fats or GMOs. This increases the shelf life and keeps them fresh, delicious and safe to eat for up to 25 years. I think that is amazing. These food packages are sold in a variety of sizes from 1 month supply to an entire years supply.
They also have disaster preparedness kits and other
                                        similar products.
The meals come in a lightweight Mylar bag that protects your food from the elements and travels with ease because it's so lightweight.











It was amazing to me to see this freeze dried package expand into a really delicious, and flavorful mean with just boiling water and 15 minutes.It was just a bit too salty for my taste but still very good

 These are a great tasting staple to add to your emergency box.if you want to get some, you can find them on Amazon Here.

PEVA Shower Curtain Liner

This shower curtain liner truly is great. It is odorless, mold and mildew resistant and chlorine free. This is so Important, because let's face it, nobody wants to deal with taking it their shower curtain liner down off all those hooks and washing it and putting it back up every time it needs to be cleaned. That is such a pain. This curtain wipes clean with a damp cloth.

This curtain is PVC free and environmentally friendly which is wonderful. The shower curtain is heavy and very durable, not like your typical cheap shower liner. Also, while it's heavy it's still very pliable and moveable and clear.

It's equipped with rust proof metal grommets, which is of course important where there's water involved. It's also equipped with magnets inside the bottom edge so it sticks to the tub making a nice seal so water doesn't escape onto your bathroom floor.I have had this shower curtain up for about  a month now and it is as clean and clear as the day I put it up. I love it.
If you want to get one of these for yourself, you can find it on Amazon Here.

Silicone Baby Food Freezer Tray Review

I know that a lot of new mom's have the best intentions of doing wonderful healthy things for their babies, like making home made baby food, using cloth diapers etc. , but new motherhood is hard. You are tired, stressed, and busy, so some mom's end up reverting to something more convenient. There's nothing wrong with that, you have to do what works for you. If you are one of these moms that wants to make the home made baby food, but still have the convenience, this is the product for you. This is a freezer tray for your baby food.

Once you have your baby food blended, you simply spoon it into this easy to use silicone tray, pop on the cover, and freeze them. This way you can make your baby food ahead, and it will be so simple to just grab one, defrost and voila, delicious, healthy baby food. You don't have to have time and energy to make fresh baby food every day, you just need maybe one day a week or one day a month and as few of these trays.

I can just pop one of these healthy cubes into my blender with my other frozen fruit for a smoothie.When they are frozen they easily pop right out.

Electric Pencil Sharpener Review

This electric pencil sharpener makes a great addition to my home office/ art studio. This makes it so quick and simple to sharpen my pencils. There's no more fumbling with a hand held manual sharpener and no more of the mess that comes with it. This sharpener gives you a really nice sharp  point on your pencils, or colored pencils, and contains all of your shavings inside the easy to dump shaving tray, which is clear so you can see exactly how full it is and when you need to dump it.It's safe, the sharpener won't run when the shaving tray is removed, so there's no danger of getting fingers caught.

The really cool and unique feature of this sharpener is that it has a few different ways to power it. You can operate it with 4 AA batteries, so you can travel with it. It comes with an AC adapter plug in, so you can plug it into the wall, and it also comes with a sub cable so you can power it through your home pc or laptop.

That makes it so versatile and mobile.  This sharpener features a switch which lets you choose 1 of 3 different  sharpness settings: blunt, medium, and sharp. This is great especially when you are working with pencils for art, these different settings can be great for different drawing techniques. The sharpener is quiet, and small and lightweight but it is powerful and does exactly what you want it to do. If you would like to get one for yourself, you can find it on Amazon Here.

I'm sure all of my mommy readers out there have experienced a situation where you could use this car seat cover.

A lot of mommies will throw a blanket over the top of the car seat, but then it's constantly falling off. This car seat cover is a beautiful , stylish and effective way to solve this problem.

This cover is soft enough to double as a blanket. It has a beautiful grey chevron pattern. It is equipped with Velcro  straps to hold your cover in place, and fits all brands of car seats. It is machine washable with a blend of polyester and cotton.
 It also comes with a stroller clip, free, which can attach your purse, diaper bag, and more to your stroller. This car seat cover is a great addition to any mommy's arsenal. If you'd like to get one for your little one, you can find it on Amazon Here.

This lantern is really great quality. It comes in a semi compact size that doesn't take up a lot of space in your camping gear.It looks just light a traditional lantern but it is battery powered and safe.  It has LED  bulbs that output 300 lumens, providing you with 100,000 hours of use. That's amazing!
 The lantern is battery powered and you will be able to use it for 6 days straight on one set of batteries...that's insane! The lantern is lightweight but it is durable and strong. It's soundproof, which takes the worry out of breaking it, when you inevitably drop it. It's also water resistant, which is great for camping because you never know when you might get rained out. The lantern comes equipped with a hook so you can hang it from a tree or inside your tent.

#BehindTheBlogger : My Whole World

I'm back with another round of #BehindTheBlogger writing prompts, designed to help you get to know your favorite bloggers better. This time around our topic is My Whole World.  I've thought for a while about how I would interpret this topic. I think I finally decided that, for me, this is about all of the things that make up my world, personally.So here they are:

1. Love: A huge part of my world is my best friend, and my love. He is a sweet funny guy who makes me laugh everyday. We have our ups and downs navigating all of the issues that come along with a blended family life. I also try to give a lot of love in my life. I want to build people up instead of bringing people down. I've had many people in my life tear me down, and I don't ever want to take part in making anyone feel the way I have felt. I put a lot of love into my relationships.

2. Family:  I grew up with a huge extended family, and we were very close. My cousins were my best friends. My family always got together on holidays. We would sing, play instruments and have a lot of fun. I still love to get together with my family. I'm very close to my mom, she's like my best friend. I definitely don't see my family enough these days, because I live kind of far away. I don't get to see any of them as much as I'd like to. I've also had plenty of family struggles, big ones. Those times hurt, but in a way they show you how strong you are and how your family can pull together to get through them.


3. Music: Music is essential to my life, and my well being. It has always been a huge part of my life.I feel it deeply, and relate to it. I love to write lyrics and I love connecting to a good lyric. Music can improve or enhance any mood I'm feeling. I've always loved to sing, it's one thing in my life I feel confident about.Music is a key component in my world in so many ways.

4. Art: Art has been part of my world throughout my life. I have always loved to create, and have always done some form of art. When I was young my grandmother always did crafty things with us. My family is full of great artists. These days I'm really into art journaling, abstract painting, jewelry making and tons of other things. I will always be a creative spirit.

5. Self Discovery: I am always growing and learning, because if your not moving forward then you are stagnating. I want to be the best person I can. The most reasonable and self aware. I have come a long way in my life, but there is always room to grow and learn.



  • There are so many small things in my life but  this should give you a big glimpse at who I am and what I'm all about. As always, I've enjoyed sharing with you all with this #BehindTheBlogger blog hop. Thanks for reading.
