What if garlic bread could be as easy as: spread, toast, done, and actually taste like something restaurant-worthy? Brala’s Best is a bold, dairy-free garlic spread that’s shelf-stable, made with whole garlic cloves, and designed for crispy, golden garlic bread at home - without the chopping, peeling, or margarine. Created by retired psychologist and Navy veteran Paul Brala, and now led by his daughter Claire McDonald, Brala’s Best just launched on Kickstarter to bring their new squeezable pouches and clean-label rebrand to kitchens across the country. The project was selected as a “Project We Love” by Kickstarter and is aiming to hit its stretch goal of $25,000, which will unlock letting backers vote on the next flavor.

Great Dad's Day Gifts - Something for Every Dad #FathersDay2025

Father's Day is fast approaching, and we have something for every Dad on your list! Check it all out!

High Camp Flasks create premium, shareable drinkware designed for the outdoors. Each piece is crafted from distiller-grade 18/8 stainless steel and is entirely BPA, phthalate, and plastic-free. These flasks are made to last, pour beautifully, and travel anywhere Dad goes. The Firelight Flask 750 – 3-in-1 Cocktail set is a 750ml insulated flask that travels like a bottle but pours like a bar. Two magnetic tumblers attach seamlessly to the flask using High Camp’s patented PhantomLock system. The diamond-grip cap, wide mouth for ice, and electropolished interior round out the details. Jason really liked this. He was jazzed that he could use it for so many different occasions, and versatile enough that he could use it for the situations that don't call for liquor as well, like work, though I am sure he would prefer that! *wink*

The folks at Chike loved coffee, so they made it even better with protein! Don’t settle for sugary drinks - level up your morning with Chike Original High Protein Iced Coffee. A classic espresso and cream iced latte. Each serving has 20g of protein, 2 shots of espresso, and only 1g of sugar. Perfect for the morning pick-me-up, and I love the added protein!

Oftentimes, when you are asked to pray for a person, you pray for that person at that time, right in the moment. Often, we quickly forget to offer a prayer again while we shuffle back into our daily routine, but God tells us to pray continuously. So, PrayerBowls created a split bowl that can be used for both your prayer intentions and your answered prayers. Each prayer bowl comes with a set of PrayerCards, a PrayerBowl Story Card, and is etched with the wording "with hope" & "with thanks" or "prayers" & "blessings" on the interior side of the bowl. This is a beautifully crafted bowl and I am proud to display it in our home, and use it as a family as a daily reminder to pray and keep on praying.

Featuring prebiotics, probiotics, and CoreBiome postbiotics, Primal Gut Restore strengthens gut flora, supports the intestinal lining, and promotes a balanced, healthy digestive system.

Blended with five collagen types, Primal Multi Collagen supports skin elasticity, hair strength, and joint health in convenient daily capsules for total body wellness.

Old Trapper's Jalapeno Deli Style Beef Sticks will knock out your craving for bold and tasty beef. And at 15oz to a pack, your hunger doesn't stand a chance. Old Trapper’s Teriyaki Kippered Beef sweetens our delicious lean, smoked beef with the flavor of teriyaki. It’s a sweet treat that isn’t the least bit sinful.

One Piece At A Time Puzzle Journal #MentalHealth #SensoryNeeds

With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, I feel it is important to focus on tools to help regulate emotions. The One Piece At A Time Puzzle Journal is a unique therapeutic tool designed to promote mindfulness, emotional regulation, and creative expression. This journal combines daily reflective prompts with a calming jigsaw puzzle format, allowing users to focus, self-soothe, and express themselves at their own pace.

Each day, you’ll fill in a puzzle piece with a prompt that encourages self-discovery, gratitude, and personal growth. Use colors, words, or drawings to express your feelings and experiences. By the end of 60 days, you’ll have created a vibrant picture of your life - a reminder that every moment, no matter how small, contributes to your unique masterpiece. We turned this in to a project that both Callan and I can do together. At the end, it will be a nice keepsake.

Tradara McLaurine is the creator of this unique journal. She is a child of God and a loving mother. She enjoys writing stories that inspire others, crocheting, spending time with family, and listening to music. Tradara is the author of Why Mommy Works, Why Daddy Works, and I Want a Nickname.

Willo Oral Care #SensoryNeeds

When you have someone in your life with sensory sensitivities, it can often be difficult to have smooth daily routines for what some people would think is a simple task, such as brushing your teeth. The Willo AutoFlo+ is a fully automated toothbrush designed for kids ages 5 to 13 (but even I used it, hee hee!). For many children, brushing can be a challenge, but for kids with sensory sensitivities, including those with Autism, it can feel especially overwhelming. That often leads to resistance, inconsistent habits, and long-term dental issues. Willo is helping to change that. By simplifying the brushing process, it empowers kids to build independence and confidence in their own routines.

Here is how Willo helps:

Gentle, Effective Cleaning – Willo’s advanced technology delivers a consistent, even clean, reaching each tooth every single time while providing just the right amount of sensory feedback.

Comfort Without Overstimulation – The patented Willo OptiClean brush head features 34,000 ultra-soft bristles angled at 30 degrees to gently sweep along the gumline, reducing discomfort often caused by traditional or power toothbrushes.

Sensory-Friendly Toothpaste – Unlike traditional foamy toothpaste, Willo’s specially designed SLS-free liquid formula minimizes strong tastes and textures, making brushing more comfortable for kids with sensory sensitivities.

Mess-Free, All-in-One Design – With a single button press, Willo dispenses the perfect amount of toothpaste while a built-in suction system removes excess liquid, eliminating mess and simplifying the routine.

Effortless, Consistent Brushing – Willo takes the guesswork out of brushing by automating the process, ensuring a thorough and consistent clean every time - no manual movement required.

Healthier Checkups, Lower Dental Bills – Clinically proven to remove 7x more plaque than a manual toothbrush, Willo excels at reaching the difficult areas of the mouth for a more thorough clean, leading to better dental outcomes.

Engaging & Rewarding Experience – The interactive Willo app provides both parent and kid-friendly views, tracks brushing progress, sends reminders, and rewards kids for developing healthy brushing habits.

My thoughts: At first glance, I thought Oh boy, this is going to be difficult to figure out how to use! But it really wasn't! The manual is easy to understand, and the setup was simple! I tried it first, so I would be able to explain the use and show my family how to use it. I was surprised by how thorough the brushing was. During the process, I was like, Is it working? You feel very little movement in the mouth, certainly not like a vigorous manual brushing. But when I was done, I was pleased with how clean my teeth and mouth were! My only critique would be the sound. It is not very loud, but there is a noise, and that may be a distraction for those with auditory issues. Also, I like to scrub my tongue (am I weird?), so I would still recommend a manual brushing for that - but otherwise, this worked great and the overall experience was very pleasant!

Summer Finds For #MothersDay2025

As Mother's Day comes right before Summer really kicks off, I have put together some great finds for Mom, that will also be great for the upcoming summer months! Check them all out!

A mom-owned and family-operated business named LITO (Luxury In The Outdoors), whose mission is to make outdoor activities fun and easy for families and kids, believes the Outdoor Tablecloth would be the perfect gift to show mom how much she’s appreciated on Mother's Day. The LITO Outdoor Tablecloth is their flagship product. Designed for moms who love spending time outdoors, it's stylish (available in a variety of patterns and colors), long-lasting, wipeable, waterproof, fits any size outdoor or camping table, and comes with straps to secure it to the table when it’s windy. The elevated design appeals to moms who want to provide a beautiful and homely feel to outdoor environments.

Cuticle-B-Gone is an innovative nail tool that was founded by Barbara Gomes out of personal necessity when caring for her mother, a Breast Cancer Survivor with lymphedema, who faced a high risk of infection from traditional cuticle cutting. Discovering that filing cuticles led to a longer-lasting manicure and reduced health risks, Barbara developed Cuticle-B-Gone to provide a safer, more effective alternative. Along with the nail tool, they sell cuticle oils, as well! Perfect for getting those nail in shape for all the beach/pool parties!

CleanCo’s Clean G Zero Proof Gin is a great gift for the mom who loves a delicious, botanical-forward cocktail but might be looking to keep fit or cut back on alcohol for a round, a night, a month, or the rest of their life. Made in the U.K., CleanCo’s Clean G is gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, and contains only 12 calories per serving, as compared to over 100 for the average full-strength spirit. CleanCo’s non-alcoholic spirit alternatives are designed to be mixed into cocktails, and CleanCo’s non-alcoholic alternatives to tequila, gin, spiced rum, vodka, and whiskey allow those looking to moderate or abstain the chance to enjoy their favorite cocktails, like a Clean G&T or a Clean Negroni, without compromising on taste or missing out on a good time.

EnviroBiotics Home Purifier

When Spring and Summer hit, we become acutely aware of different kinds of allergens, specifically in our homes. And I do everything I can to keep my family healthy so we can keep up with our busy schedule. That is why I am excited to introduce EnviroBiotics, an innovative line of eco-friendly wellness products that’s redefining how we clean and purify our indoor spaces - no chemicals, no gimmicks, just nature’s own probiotics. With prices starting at $89 for the Mini (it’s super cute), this is a sustainable, accessible gift idea perfect for health-conscious consumers and families. Unlike traditional home purifiers or harsh cleaners, EnviroBiotics uses beneficial microflora probiotics to naturally tackle allergens, pathogens, and mold spores.

Devices like the Biologic Mini or compact Biotica 800 for small spaces or the larger unit BA2080 for spaces up to 2,600 sq. ft., release billions of probiotics that settle on surfaces, consume irritants, and dramatically decrease the allergen concentration in just eight days of use to create a healthier indoor ecosystem. Think fresher air, less dust, and fewer asthma triggers, all without a drop of bleach. The benefits are clear: an improved indoor environment with virus neutralization on surfaces and objects in as little as 15 minutes, relief from allergies and pet odors, and a low-maintenance design that works 24/7 with cartridges that last 90 days and then can automatically be refilled. Made from all-natural plant- and soil-derived ingredients, it’s non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for kids, pets, and the planet. From portable sprayers for cars and boats to HVAC-connected systems for bigger spaces, EnviroBiotics fits any lifestyle. Backed by clinical studies showing real allergen reduction and global expert endorsements, this isn’t just a product, it’s a movement toward cleaner, greener, healthy living. With Mother’s Day around the corner (May 11, 2025), the Mini is a great gift idea for the health-conscious woman in your life.

Spring Forward with Arnipatch Pain Relief

Springtime is the nation’s most-loved season of the year, and now that it's sprung, Americans are most looking forward to the warmer weather, longer days – as well as beginning to think about spring cleaning, gardening, and other outdoor activities. In fact, exercise activity among American adults averages 15-20% higher during the spring and summer months. For many people, increasing the length, type, or intensity of an activity can result in an exertion injury that can cause inflammation, bruising, and muscular and joint pain in the affected area. Topical pain relief products, like gels, creams, and patches, are growing in popularity due to their targeted application and reduced systemic side effects. According to market research, the global topical pain relief market is projected to reach $13 billion by 2027, driven by consumer demand for safer, more convenient alternatives to oral medications.

LaboFlex Arnipatch hydrogel pain patches offer a unique, natural relief option for alleviating musculoskeletal and chronic pain for up to 12 hours. Each LaboFlex Arnipatch unscented hydrogel pain patch is infused with Arnica 1X HPUS, a powerful herbal analgesic that has been proven to help relieve muscle and joint pain more naturally. Each LaboFlex Arnipatch hydrogel pain patch is designed with a three-layer technology to hold moisture, provide cooling relief, and moisturize the skin while in use. And work instantly by attaching gently to the painful area while keeping the skin protected from environmental exposure. Due to the unique structure, LaboFlex’s Arnipatch hydrogel patches can help provide pain relief for up to 12 hours while hydrating and protecting the skin as it soothes chronic pain. LabottachCo, the maker of LaboFlex Arnipatch, carefully formulates each of their ingredients and conducts numerous clinical studies to validate the efficacy and safety of their products.
