For Moms: Amazing Smelling Natural Soaps, Perfumes, Lotions, Candles and More from Pacifica

by

Oh my! Have you ever tried any of Pacifica’s products?  I was in love from the first moment I picked up the Tuscan Blood Orange soap box in a Whole Foods store and smelled it.  It is amazing!  I couldn’t stop there. I had to smell them all.  They make so many wonderful scents but Tuscan Blood Orange and Tahitian Gardenia are my favorites. I love that the soap smells wonderful as you use it and the scent actually lingers afterwords.  Their body butters are also fantastic. They are thick and moisturizing and are great for layering the scent.

I haven’t been a perfume wearer in a while because it has been hard to find a natural one that actually smells great but Pacifica’s are all natural.  I really like carrying their solid perfumes in my purse and use the spray perfume at home.  They just came out with new roll-on perfumes that sounds great for at home or on the go.  Their products are made from natural ingredients and are free from Parabens, Sulfates, Propylene Glycol, Phthalates, GMOs, Triclosan and Petro-chemicals.

Any of Pacifica’s items make great gifts. They are sold at Whole Foods stores or you can order online at Pacifica’s website.  They have free shipping on orders over $50 and you can sign up for their newsletter for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate.

Crocodile Creek Playground Balls

by
Crocodile Creek has lots of different designs for each of their products and there is sure to be one that your little person would like.  We love the playground balls that they have.  The girls like the ballerinas and ladybugs and the fire truck and dinosaurs are a big hit with my little boy.  They come in two sizes, 5″ and 7″.  The 5″ balls are great for smaller kids with little hands while the 7″ size is good for any age.  These balls are textured so they are easy to grip and they bounce well. They are made of rubber and contain no PVC, latex or vinyl. These make a great gift because most every child likes to play with balls and you can pick a design that appeals to any child.

Well Designed & Thorough Homeschool Planner for Mom and Students

by


If you are a homeschooling mom you know that keeping track of everything can be a major task.  This year I discovered a Homeschool Teacher Planner that I love. It is the Well-Planned Day by Rebecca Scarlata Keliher.  It keeps track of just about everything.  It includes sections for grades, goals, month at a glance, books read, field trips, meal planning, budgeting, student information, daily lesson plans, report cards, etc… The Planner is a full year planner from July 2010 – June 2011 and works for up to 4 kids.  The design of the planner is what originally drew me to it.  It is visually appealing both in color and design.
The Student Planners are also very thorough and I highly recommend them.  These planners are not necessarily only for homeschoolers and would work well for kids going to a school as well. They help to keep track of all school assignments and have weekly checklists for chores and duties. They come in both a Middle School (grades 4-8) and High School versions.  A great feature in the High School version is that is for the complete 4 years.  These are also very well designed and look “cool” enough to be seen toted around by a middle or high schooler.

Each design is a slip on shoe without ties and ranges in size from 6 months to 3 1/2 years. My daughter has the ladybug style of these shoes and they are so cute! She loves to wear them and we get lots of complements on them all the time.
