3DLIGHTFX Review

I'm super excited to share with you 3DLIGHTFX. Mica picked out the Star Wars BB-8. They are super fun! I've never seen a light like them. They look like they are crashing through the wall. The features I like art that they don't have any cords hanging down, and the crack sticker that comes with it.

If you're not a Star Wars buff they have a lot of other options:

• Marvel
• WB
• Nick
• Cars/Jet
• Sports
• Hasbro
• Disney
• Nature
• Universal

I know my boys would like their Marvel options as well. The different lights vary in cost. The BB-8 is $39.99.

They are sold at Target http://bit.ly/TargetUSFamily and Target.com.

It was packaged really well. A slide in mold inside a box. A shipping box outside that.

A Great Gift:

We haven't put it up in his room just yet because it's a Christmas present. It's great for: Children, Teens, Adults, Boys, or Girls.

3DLIGHTFX are meant to serve the purpose to be a night light. I'm not so sure that it's that effective as a night light. It doesn't put out very much light, and it's really big size wise to be a night light.

I think it works more for room decor. It's just cool looking.

Sticker:

The sticker has instructions to put it on the wall. It's clear, so it will fit on any wall. Once it's up, it's up. You can't move it around. I think it would look cool even without the sticker.

Battery Operated: 

I kind of wish they had 2 options when buying this - battery operated and cord operated. I understand that they don't want kids pulling on the cord. Cords also take away visually from the design. I don't like the idea of going through batteries when using this. Keep in mind that you can use rechargeable batteries. This product is like most, and does not come with batteries.

They are also cool to the touch, which makes it safer.

Easy to Hang:

Each light comes with the sticker that I already mentioned. It also comes with a hanging set, and notches in the back of the light, so it stays up on the the wall.

Mica's super excited to get the BB-8 he picked out!

3DLIGHTFX 3D Deco Lights are the perfect gift this holiday season. They have a full range of lights for each personality in your home including: comic book, super hero, Disney Princess, sports and car lights that look as though they are popping right out of the wall! They are battery operated and cool to the touch so you can place them any where in the room! Your kids will loves having these in their rooms and they're also the perfect editions to a den, family room, man's cave or office! Find all of these amazing products here: http://bit.ly/TargetUSFamily

Be sure to check out Target to find a light that would fit everyone in your family. I know Mica would like a Star Wars one, and Isaak would love a sport one or super hero one.

If you could pick out a light like this, what would you choose?

Royal Dead Sea Seborrhea Cream Seborrheic Dermatitis Treatment Review

I know some of my readers as well as my own kids have suffered from eczema. I just got Royal Dead Sea Seborrhea Cream Seborrheic Dermatitis Treatment to review.

I've tried so many products on my boys in the past. Probiotics did help. Many of the creams had Steriods and Parabens in them. The creams would help at first, but the problem would return worse than when I first started using it on them. I hated putting Steriods and Parabens on my little boys.

Royal Dead Sea Seborrhea Cream Seborrheic Dermatitis Treatment does not have any harmful chemicals! It's a thick, smooth cream. 

It will help with Isaak's rough spots that he has from time to time, and that spot under Mica's chin that continues to be rough. It seemed like Rosewater was helping Mica's chin, but it kind of came to a halt, and has looked and felt the same for a long time now. We even sent him to a Pediatric Dermatologist. They tested his chin to see if what he had was bacterial. It's not. She gave us a cream, which was filled with harmful chemicals!

Ingredients:

• Lavender
• Patchouli
• Geranium

That's right...just those 3 ingredients.

Even if it doesn't help with Mica's chin (we haven't had it long enough to tell), it will help with Isaak's rough spots. His pediatrician told me that he should be using lotion daily because of his dry skin.

The essential oils and plant extracts in Royal Sea products were chosen with special thought. They chose things that have therapeutic purposes and healing qualities.

I love that it's safe for all skin types. It relieves flaky, itchy, and scaly skin. There's no burning or itching when it's applied. Mica had nothing to complain about when he put it on.

Packaged:

It was in bubble wrap. It comes in a well designed box. The lid was tightly sealed, and it had a cover over the cream. 

Cost:

$29.90 for 2 ounces. That may seem like a lot, but you only need to use a drop to cover the skin. 

Have you ever had any skin issues?

WW: Mulhalls {Linky}

A family owned nursery, Mulhalls has a great Santa, Mrs. Claus and his reindeer. They have a much shorter line than Bass Pro Shops, or anywhere else that I know of.

Isaak was all excited to give Santa this pop-up image:

What's on Isaak's list: A keyboard. He thinks he's a natural when it comes to playing the piano. 

This is probably Isaak's last year for believing. I told Mica for a few years that Saint Nicholas is in fact real. He's even in the encyclopedia. 

Mica lost his faith in Saint Nicholas a few years ago. He took his photo with Santa last year, but kept inching away this year. I'm surprised Isaak didn't say anything to him. 

Isaak sat next to Saint Nicholas and told him he wanted a keyboard. Then went to Mrs. Claus to get his candy cane.

The reindeer were uber tired. They must be resting up for their big trip ahead. ;)

We also walked around to see some other things. These are a few of my favorites:

I love this tree so much. It's filled with natural looking things.

Like these fake, but real looking succulents.

Complete Prostate Care Supplement Review

It's important especially this time of year for everyone to get a good nights sleep. Travis at times struggles with sleeping well.

As men age they need to keep their prostate in a good state of health. CrossTrader Prostate Supplement helps with this.

It came packaged very well. There was plastic on the cap:

The bottle was was sealed for protection:

Travis does have a hard time remembering to take this. It is recommended to take two before bed. We take our pills in the morning. He finds it hard to remember to take these. I wish he only had to take one pill instead of two. There are enough pills for 30 nights.

Supplement Facts:

Beta Sitosterol - Is used for high cholesterol, and an enlarged prostate
Saw Palmetto - Is an extract that is from the fruit of Serenoa repens. It's rich in fatty acids and phytosterols.
Quercetin - Is found in many plants and foods, such as red wine, onions, green tea, apples, berries, Ginko biloba, St. John's wort, American elder, and others.
Lycopene - Is found in many fruits and veggies such as: Carrots, watermelons, papayas, strawberries, cherries and more. It's red in coloring.

Cost:

$39.95 and on sale for $17.95 with Prime.

It's a little hard to know if it really helps. Travis has only be taking this for 4 nights. I do love that there are no horrible side effects like medicines that you'd get from the doctor.

WW: Spelling Bee {Linky}

Mica found out he was going to be in a Spelling Bee at school. He got his 120 word list just before Thanksgiving. Just to give you an idea on how hard they were I had to look up the meaning of some of the words. Some were: obstinate, omnivorous, bureaucracy, furlough, idiom and more...

Mica studied flashcards with meanings on one side and the words on the other, just looking off the list, us saying the words and him writing them down, and us saying the words and him spelling them out loud.

He missed many words in the beginning, but ended up knowing them all. The only word he struggled with was, "bureaucracy". Of course that was one word they asked him. We were crossing our fingers that he didn't miss it. He got it right.

Mica's number 2.

Round 1:

Round 2:

Round 3:

Round 4:

Round 5 to Round 14:

Mica was left with one of his best friends. His friend kept saying, "Mica you can mess up now!" Mica said, "Not today!" 

The teachers took a long pause. They had to discuss what to do. It was obvious that these 2 kid knew the whole list of 120 words. They decided to ask them 2 words that were on the District List. 

Mica got the word, "Irrigate" and the other boy got, "Bankruptcy". We were hoping Mica didn't spell it with one "r". He didn't. The other boy spelled, "Bankruptsy". It was so close! If it were the other way around I think the other boy would have won for sure. 

He now moves up to the District Spelling Bee in February! We'll see how it goes. We as parents are going to have to do our research on how to help him study. I have to say that I sucked with spelling as a kid. I don't know how he has this talent. He must get it from Dad.

When he got that last word this song came into my head, and wouldn't leave:

Dance Recital

Last night I went to my first dance recital. It's a fact that I've never been to one in my life.

I have 2 sisters, and none of us were in dance. Most of us had boys, with the exception of one niece and they weren't in dance. I thought at one point in time that I'd put Mica in dance, but never did. I think we chose jujitsu instead. Time wise and financially kids just can't do it all.

When things come up for special needs kids, my sister signs my nephew Emerson up. Some things have been great for him, while others were flops. 

Water Therapy for example was horrible on many days. Later my sister found out from a speaker at a Trisomy Convention that warm water in particular is horrible for kids with Trisomy 18. The speaker has partial Trisomy 18, and he felt like warm water was shocking him. Emerson now had cold baths, and does alright with that.

Fusion Dance Studio that took in kids with special needs to have some dance classes. Volunteers helped the kids. So many of them love to dance! 

I was undecided if I'd be able to go. The studio was pretty far from my house, I have a mountain of things to do, and Isaak had a birthday party he was at that got over when Emerson's recital started.

My sister couldn't decide if Emerson was well enough to dance. Then my aunt mentioned that if he wasn't well enough he could just go in his wheelchair. He didn't end up going in his chair.

Time rolled around, and I was done with one of my main tasks. I hurried over to see my nephew dance.

He didn't look like his happy little self. He was more the stare off into space Emerson. I know he hasn't been sleeping well, he's having seizures, so he's on a new medicine for that, he's still cutting his molars, and there may be more wrong with him that we're unaware of at this point.

When the music started Emerson did seem to want to dance though. He loves to bob up and down. The other kids really got into their routine, so it was fun to watch.

I kind of forgot that Emerson didn't have his hearing aid on. He probably couldn't hear the music, nor could he hear anyone say, "Emerson smile!" or "Emerson look." If his hearing aid falls off it makes a dial up internet sound.

He looked super sharp in his sequin vest!

Here's a photo with my sister and him afterwards:

You can tell that she was super proud to be his mom. I was a pretty proud aunt.

Do you have anyone in your family that likes to dance? 

Great Kids Snacks Box Review

I'm super glad to get another box from Great Kids Snack Box to review. My kids love their snacks. What's great is that if there is one thing that they don't like there's more things that they can try. They send out monthly boxes that are loaded with individually wrapped snacks.

I hear all the time, "I'm hungry!" I love how protein bars help satisfy my kid's hunger. Mica seems to enjoy protein bars more than Isaak, but there's other things in the box that I can eat.

The boys went for Justin's Peanut Butter Cups right away. Thankfully there were 2 inside the wrapper.

They have all kinds of after school snacks tucked into one box.

The boys thing they are too old for applesauce type foods in pouches. I pour them out into a small bowl, and mixed them up with homemade applesauce. They went for them right away then.

These two snacks interested me a lot:

I love nuts and the lemon flavor is one of my favorites.

Dried Fruit is something we have every morning just about with breakfast. I divided the Fruit Crips up for all of us to split.

I really love oatmeal, but I haven't tried this yet. The Coconut Almond flavor sounds wonderful. It's handy that it's in it's own container, which makes it easy to take on the go.

Isaak had this PowerIce after his basketball game.

What do we love about Great Kids Snack Box:

• It's filled up! There's no waist in this box.
• Everything is individually wrapped. If Isaak doesn't like something, then Mica will eat it. Isaak I know already doesn't like dried fruit, so Mica will snack that down.
• The snacks are healthy for the most part. One could argue that anything prepackaged isn't healthy. Compared to all other prepackaged things these are very healthy snacks!
• Perfect for a wide age range. These snacks will work for my 8 year old, but my 11 year can equally enjoy them. 
• It has a wide variety of things in it. 
• There's free shipping. 
• Cost wise it's fairly inexpensive: $39.95. It may seem like a lot, but there's a lot in the box.
• I'm not sure if the snacks are just for kids. They seem like they are for everyone in the family.

What I wish Great Kids Snack Box had:

• I wish they'd have a survey section to get to know their audience before parents order from them. If someone has toddlers maybe the snacks would be different than older kids. Some kids may love protein bars, while others do not. Then the boxes could be tailored to each family. This is really the only change I'd make. 

Do you like getting monthly boxes?
