When I was a child, I recall my mom taking our old crayons and making them into new ones. We sometimes would make the general crayon shape and other times mom would get creative and make letters and animals in both solid and multi-colors! It was one of the most fun crafts that we did together!

With all that being said, I’m excited to let you know about Gaddy Nippers! They offer one of a kind recycled crayola crayons in many fun shapes, letters, and colors much like the ones my mom made me as a kid!

I was given the opportunity to sample these crayons out for my own children. I was sent my daughter Melody’s name in multi-color and my son Owen’s name in which featured an animal image in each letter!  How neat is that?

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves these crayons! They are just the right size for her! I can’t help but think that having these is great way to teach her how to spell her name out by recognizing the letters! Gaddy Nipper Crayons are a fun gift and a great learning tool all in one!

Gaddy Nippers crayons are great for favors for birthday parties, classroom parties and in general every day use. They come perfect for gifting! I love that you can add you own personal touch with all the customization available!

Personalized packages are under $6.00 and the personalized letters start at just 50¢ a piece. Special packaging can be requested.

For my birthday last month, I got cake and that was that. I wasn’t expecting more because we are working hard to get out of debt as soon as we can. You can imagine my surprise yesterday when my husband presented me with the Whitmor 6054-268 Supreme Bakers Rack, Chrome and Wood that I had added to my Amazon wish list!

I am so happy to now have a better place to store some of my appliances, pots & pans, marble slab & rolling pin, and bamboo utensils and cutting boards. My husband had this rack up in about 10-15 minutes flat! It’s very sturdy and quite appealing to the eye if do say so myself.  I like that I can use the top area as cutting board/prep area if  I chose too. This rack has freed up so much cabinet and counter space, it holds so much! I’m very thrilled to have it! It completely improves the look and feel of my kitchen. And now I am one step closer to getting my kitchen organized the way I want it to be. Very happy wife over here!

Pregnancy is beautiful, everything single one is so different in its own special way. As soon as you are pregnant you may not think about writing everything down but afterward you will wish you had, I know I did with my first born child.

Perhaps you are pregnant or know someone who is right now. If you are or do, you might want to check out the Tummy Talk Pregnancy keepsake journal.

Tummy Talk is a all-in-one album, scrapbook and keepsake journal that can be completely customized by adding your mementos, journaling your thoughts and inserting your own personal photos.

Inside the book you’ll find that the journal is divided into 5 different sections with colorful tabs identifying each one. The five sections include pregnancy stories, doctor’s visits, weekly journaling, baby shower, birth details, and more.  There’s so many things to make this book extremely personal! They didn’t leave anything out!

My favorite sections in this album include the sections where you can put letters for the baby as well as the scrapbook cut outs that family and friends can write something down for the baby. So cute and ever so thoughtful!

I’m still filling mine out with information about my latest pregnancy. Lots of photos to add!   I only wish I had this journal sooner! I encourage anyone who wants to persevere the  life long memories of their pregnancies to look back on and share to get a Tummy Talk Pregnancy Journal Album.
