Children’s Swivel Chair

 I have always wanted to get one of these children’s swivel chairs for the kids, and finally found a place that has them. This would be the fun-est chair to have in the kids bedrooms to read in. My boys were diagnosed at a young age, having Sensory Processing Disorder. Their brain has a hard time processing their senses, and so what happens is they go into over load and become over stimulated. They essentially act out, but have no idea why. My oldest son who is 7 years old, finally was able to start first grade this year with no IEP (Individual Education Plan). He attended preschool at our elementary school in the Early Childhood Special Ed department and was able to receive his services at school. He started school when he was three years old, and attended the special ed class for three years before starting kindergarten. In kindergarten he had an IEP and had a teachers aide assist him through class, he has come so far. He was able to start first grade this year and graduated out of having an IEP. My third child, and second son Brock was also diagnosed with SPD, and is attending the same class that his brother Coleton did. I am hopeful that he too will be able to follow his brother in graduating out of an IEP when it is needed.

I am constantly on the look out for items that will help with sensory, this chair has a pull down hood, allowing a secret hiding spot. The light fabric will let the light in, so Brock would never be completely in the dark when the hood is shut. The spinning action of the chair helps his brain sort sensory impressions, which helps him. I gotta have this chair!

Searching for new pots and pans? I want Rachel Ray!!

We have officially decided to remodel our whole house!! That means that I get to redesign my kitchen and make it more useful! Who ever built this house back over one hundred years ago, must have been a man!! Just saying, what women would have created a kitchen with six doorways in a kitchen?? That is so hard to make a productive kitchen out of a room that has six doorways. I will be so happy when we start the remodeling in the kitchen.

When we remodel our kitchen I plan on using clean bright colors, white and terracotta to be exact. Since our kitchen right now is dark and gloomy, I want it to feel airy and bright. I also Rachel Ray Hard Anodized Cookware 14 pc set to go with my newly remodeled kitchen. The pots and pans that we have now are at least ten to twelve years old and will not even sit flat on the stove top. When your pots and pans don’t sit flat on the stove it makes cooking so annoying! Does anyone else have this problem?

Oster Wine Opener and Chiller

I am pretty sure that this Oster Wine Opener and Chiller would make my list of must haves this summer! Noting is more relaxing than a glass of wine. However nothing is more annoying than buying a bottle of wine and having to stick it into the freezer when I get home to make it cold in a hurry.  I am not a dry wine drinker, I love my red sweet wine and I love it cold! Waiting for it to chill in the freezer can take awhile.

Monster High Girls are a hit in our house!

My daughter is in love with Monster High Girls, so when I found her this Monster High Rebecca Steam Doll she was thrilled. She loves to play with her dolls, and even at the age of 9 she still plays! Her and her best friend Alyson are both in love with the Monster High Dolls. When Alyson broke her arm and wasn’t able to play outside for recess, she got to choose a friend to stay in with her and of course she choose my daughter and her best friend Michaela.

They were able to bring a snack and a drink, and something to play with while Alyson had a broken arm. As far as the two of them were concerned that was the best part of school for a month!  I could not even tell you the exact number of Monster High Dolls that my daughter has, she has a three drawer organizer that she keeps all of her Monster High Dolls in and all their accessories in. I don’t mind having all the pieces that come along with the dolls as long as I don’t happen to step on one. Do your kids have any Monster High Dolls? Which one are their favorites?

Fun Summer Time Ice Pop Molds

I am getting really excited for our Spring weather to start, however we are still covered in a nice blanket of snow. I came across these fun summer time ice pop molds that any child will love. We live out in the country and to save on money we usually create our own entertainment in the summer, that way we keep the gas budget down as well as enjoy what we do have. Sometimes the simple things are the best things in life. My kids love to make there own ice pops in the summer, with just the basic ice pop mold. This would bring summer fun to a whole new level.
