Glass Dharma Giveaway!

I said there was a series and you have probably noticed them posted at the same time.lol Here is another great giveaway I'm been honored to share with you!

I recently had the opportunity to review glass straws from a great company called Glass Dharma. Ok, I know when you think of maternity/ pregnancy items, you don't necessarily think of glass straws. Well, not only are glass straws good for the environment but they're also good for your body since they don't leach toxins into your drink as you sip. This is especially important during pregnancy. And anything that encourages hydration is good for you and your baby! I have to admit, I worried about the durability of the straws. Were they safe for my kids to use? Would they break easily? I was pleased to find out that Glass Dharma uses borosilicate glass because it is the strongest commercially available glass on the market. It's the same type of glass that your Pyrex pie plate is made from. Glass Dharma also offers a lifetime guarantee against breakage! Here is a copy of their policy" "If, for any reason*, your GlassDharma Drinking Straw breaks, you may return the broken straw for repair or replacement. If we cannot restore it to its original condition, we will gladly replace it." I received a 9" smoothie straw, a Beautiful Bends iced tea straw, a 9" red decorative dot straw, and a 6.25" blue decorative dot sipper straw. I was impressed with the quality of the straws and the pics of the colored dots do not do them justice. They are so pretty! My kids love the straws as much as I do. It makes drinking anything fun. We are big fans of smoothies in our house and the smoothie straw works really well! My boys just think they're "cool". All of Glass Dharma's straws a both dishwasher and microwave safe. I was worried about how easy they would be to clean but it's actually pretty easy. Just rinse after use and soak in warm soapy water. They have cleaning brushes available on the site that work perfectly with the straws. The wonderful people at Glass Dharma have offered a $25 gift certificate to one of our lucky readers!     a Rafflecopter giveaway

#Cozycatfurniture Growing up Kitty with Ginger

  It has been so many years since we have had a kitten around the house I think I had forgotten just how active and amazing they are! I am sure many of you have seen me talk about Ginger our baby. She is FeLV positive, and just days short of her 7 month birthday. We also have 2 other boys with are getting up there in age. Thomas has always been a scratcher and I admit I had never thought about getting a kitty tree before this. Earlier in the month a great opportunity to review the Kitty Condo Tree from   Cozy Cat Furniture came about I thought oh great Ginger will have a place to nap, play, learn, and most importantly SCRATCH!      It Arrived in a box which I have to admit scared me a bit at first, it was much small then I thought.....was the tree smaller....was this one of those "some adult assembly required" items? Luckily it was easy to put together and came out so much sturdier then I had expected.  Even before we could give the word go Ginger was eager to play a

Jello Hard Candy

Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need: 2 Cups of Sugar 2 Cups of Water 1 Package Sugar Free Jello A candy Thermometer Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I li

Killing Ants Safely

LOL okay I know the title seems a bit silly. Here is West Texas ants are a BIG problem. Not only do they bite, but well they are really annoying! They sneak into every crack in your house no matter how hard you try. With pets though you are very limited to the products you can safely use to kill ants. As time goes on more and more I am concerned about the products I keep in this house and the effect they have on not only me and my children, but my pets. When looking for ways to rid myself of these pests I found a simple, cheap, and effective means to do so. CORNMEAL! Yep it is very simple, for about $2 a bag I can treat weekly for an entire year! While it doesn't kill them all it has certainly brought down the population so that now it isn't even noticeable. All you do it sprinkle it on top of their mounds and watch the greedy little ants drag it all inside! When eaten it expands and POOF! ;O) You get the picture.
