Chili Pepper & Lime Popsicles Recipe

This is a super easy recipe and the popsicles are great for summertime enjoyment. If you don’t care for lime, you can substitute the lime juice with fresh orange juice, grapefruit juice or lemon juice. A nice alternative for those of you who are tired

K’NEX is a children’s toy company that I am very familiar with since I have many kids in my family who request that we purchase K’NEX brand construction and building toys, for their Birthday and Holiday gifts. I have purchased at least 20 sets of their fabulous building toys just in the past 2 years alone.

K’NEX has building toys for almost all of the age groups (Preschool up to Adult). Yes, even adults like my husband enjoy playing with the K’NEX line of toys! Furthermore, K’NEX is perfect for both boys and girls who love to construct and build things.

For the review I was sent the TinkerToy 65 Piece Essentials Building Set to review for all of you. As I previously stated, we are no strangers to TinkerToy and Princess owns 2 other sets…but didn’t have this one!

This set is for ages 3 and up and contains 65 classic TinkerToy building pieces. Included are multiple spools, rods, flags, washers, end caps and more. Inside the storage box is a nice instruction sheet to get the kids started with a few design ideas.

We had Princess over to the house a few days ago and Pappy & I sat down with her to build some cute things using the TinkerToy building blocks that we received. Within a few minutes we had constructed a swing, a table, a sitting chair, an airplane and a flower. Once we made one item…we would tear it apart and build a new one. Totally fun!

We sat with the Princess for about 90 minutes and had a great time on our play date! For a 4 year old, she is pretty creative building a wide variety of things. Once we were done…she took the set home with her to add to her other 2 TinkerToy sets that she has. Love the classic TinkerToy construction sets!

Best Gifts for Men on Father’s Day

Every year when Father’s Day comes around, people start to panic because they do not know what to get their dads. They want something that their fathers will like, but they often resort to clichés such as ties or coffee mugs with World’s Best Dad 

Shopping for the Perfect Wedding Dress

Jenelle's Wedding Dress

Last week my daughter and I went over to her best friend’s house for a private wedding dress show. One of the bridal stores here in our area makes house calls and Jen selected 10 wedding gowns for them to bring over to her BFF’s house for her to try on.

The consultant brought over the 10 wedding dresses, several veils, hair pieces, shoes, etc. all for Jen to try on in the comfort of her BFF’s home. I thought that was a fabulous service for that store to offer and I am glad that my daughter took them up on it!

In attendance was my daughter, her BFF Sara, myself and my mother. We had a great time watching my daughter try everything on and she finally selected the perfect gown! What I love about her choice is that it isn’t “over-the-top” gaudy, it doesn’t look like a prom dress and it doesn’t look like something Cinderella would wear.

The dress has some gorgeous beading & pearl work around the waistline which you really can’t see in this photo. The skirting of the dress is made up of rows upon rows of gathered white silk. Trust me, it’s stunning in person!

Her choice is gown is very sleek, modern, sophisticated and simple…LOVE her choice! This photo doesn’t do it any justice at all…it is stunning in person! Now the dress if off to get some alterations and to get a bustle installed in the back…can’t wait to see it on her again in a few weeks.
