{2012 Holiday Gift Guide} Leener's You-Make-Kits

Over the last month, I have really been into baking.  I haven't had as many successes as I thought that I would.  Half of the time I start a recipe I realize that I have to wrong kind of flour or am missing an ingredient.  I was about to give up but then I got Leener's Big Soft Pretzel Making Kit!

Leener's makes all sorts of You-Make-It Kit's.  The offer kid friendly kits including make your own soda and candy.  They also have adult kits in which you can make your own beer, wine, sake, and more.  You can learn how to cure meats, make condiments and even cheeses with their kits.

The kit includes:
~specialty flour
~vital wheat gluten
~brewer’s yeast
~coarse sea salt
~baking soda
~corn meal
~a basting brush
~recipes for three different kinds on pretzels
~twisting practice rope

I was a little nervous about trying to make pretzels.  For some reason it seemed like it would be really hard to do.  When I first  opened my kit I was surprised to find that every single thing you need(besides one egg and an optional car of beer).  It comes with a practice rope to help you learn how to make the correct pretzel shape.  It was way easier than I thought it would be and after a few attempts, I was ready to start baking! 

The recipe was really easy to follow. I went with the first basic recipe the first time. I mixed all the dry ingredients with the warmed beer mixture and form the pretzel dough.  You have to let the dough rise, knead it then let it rise again.  Then came the fun part of rolling out the dough.  The rope is the length and shape that you should roll out your dough.  Here is how my turned out:

Not too shabby!

Next, I boiled the pretzels in baking soda water and brushed them with the egg white.  I put the pretzels on a pan coated with corn mill(prevents sticking) and sprinkled them with salt.  Then I put them in the oven. And that's it!

The pretzels turned out fantastic! They may not have been perfect looking but they tasted perfect! I would recommend Leener's Kit for any woman for this holiday season!

{2012 Holiday Gift Guide}Bedford Slims Tobacco Vapourette

I am not an everyday smoker but I do like to have an occasional cigarette.  Since I only like a smoke every once and a while, I never smoke a full pack of cigarettes without them going stale.  We have a daughter and two dogs and I really don't like smoking anywhere near them.  I have heard of electronic cigarettes but have never tried them.  I didn't see how they really could be smokeless. Then I was given the  chance to try Bedford Slims Tobacco Vaporette!

The Bedford Slims Tobacco Vaporette kit includes:

Battery: 
~280 mAH 
~5-volt 
~Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery 
~3-hours continuous vaping 
~2-hours battery recharge time 
~Red or Green LED Light Power Up 

USB: 
~Input DC5V / Output DC5V 
~2-hours recharge time 
~Lightweight and Portable 
~Comes in White Glows red when recharging 

Cartridge: 
~300 puffs 
~2.5 OHM (low resistance) 
~Built-in atomizer 
~Safeguard Tip Design prevents leaking 
~6 cartridges equals nearly a carton of smokes 

Flavors: 
~Tobacco: Mild, natural vanilla flavor with subtle notes of wild Kentucky tobacco. No sweetness here, our Tobacco is earthy and rustic yet light and complex. 
~Menthol: A seductive kiss of mint that freshens your breath as it soothes. 
~Dark Roast: This home-brewed hero was made with Pure Gum Arabica beans, gingko biloba, and a dash of caffeine for a totally eye- opening experience.

Laying in bed with it!

I really liked that I was able to have a cigarette without having to leave my daughter's side.  Since there is no smoke, there is no secondhand smoke.  This makes it possible to smoke right next to my little one.  Plus I was actually able to lay in bed with a book while taking an occasional puff. I liked that I could take my time smoking,  I didn't feel like I needed to smoke a whole one in one sitting.  I was able to take a puff here and there when I needed it.  The fact that the charger comes with the kit is a huge plus.  There is nothing worse than loving a product only to find out that you need a charger or batteries that weren't provided. This is also a huge money saver.  A pack of cigarettes is about six dollars right now.  A five pack of Bedford Slims cartridges(equal to about ten packs of cigarettes) is only $13. I plan on only smoking these from now on!  This would make a great gift for any smoker in your life!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

{2012 Holiday Gift Guide} Teach My Toddler

Like every other mother, I think that my daughter is very smart.  I am lucky to have a child that loves everything about learning.  We are constantly singing the ABC's or speaking in Spanish(she actually knows more than I do!).  I knew after I first looked at the Teach My Toddler Kit that she would be thrilled.  

Teach My has different kits for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.  I selected the toddler kit and was excited to see everything that it included.  The kit comes with four sections: Alphabet, Numbers, Colors, and Shapes.  It comes in a storage case and each subject is separated.  I really like that everything is really organized and easy to find. My daughter's playroom seems to suck everything into a black hole.  I will open a pack of flashcards and when I go to put them away almost half are missing. 

The entire Teach My Toddler Set includes:
~4 Board Books
~4 Full-Size Posters 
~5 Foam Puzzles 
~50+ Flashcards 
~Teaching Guide 
~Storage Case

As soon as I got the kit in the mail, we opened it.  There was a ton of material and I was real impressed with the quality of everything.  The flashcards are really sturdy which is really important for toddlers. The color flashcards are my favorite.  The color side is just solid color, not a picture of something that color.  If a flashcard has a picture of a carrot on it for the color orange, my daughter notices the carrot more than the color. I hung all the posters up in her playroom.  The alphabet poster is a topic of discussion every day in our house.  "Mama, what is a newt?" 

My daughter knows all her colors and shapes but I found this to be a great way to refresh her memory.  She really liked doing the puzzles because she knew where all of the pieces went.  We have mostly been working on her ABC's and numbers.  She knows how to count so we are working more on number recognition.  WE have been reading the foam books and doing the puzzles and flashcards almost every day.  

I love that this is a whole learning system all in one place.  No more finding a great alphabet book but finding out there isn't a similar number book as well.  This is an easy to follow, fun system that any little one would enjoy doing!  I recommend this for anyone who has a little one from ages six months to five years old!  

You can buy a whole kit for only $49.99 or just a section starting out at $14.99.  Order here!
