Halloween Pencils & Straws Reviewed

Whether you are planning a Halloween party, or simply want to send a special treat in your child's school lunchbox or backpack, Halloween straws and pencils make fun surprises.

When my children were in school, I always sought out fun and unique surprises to include in their lunchboxes.  Halloween straws were an absolute must and a fun way to celebrate Halloween all month long.  I normally sent disposable straws to school so they didn't need to keep up with them, but we also had specialty washable  & reusable straws at home for after school.  I still have Halloween straws in my kitchen drawer and pull them out to use just for fun.  Our favorites were always the pumpkins or bats, but I know my family would love the little ghosts or black cats too.

In addition to straws in their lunchboxes, I loved giving them Halloween pencils to use during the month of October.  Of course, I always made sure to purchase #2 pencils in accordance with classroom requirements.  It has been many years since they were in elementary school, but I still have a few orange pencils in the school supply drawer in our home.  Now they are mementos, but in years past, they were a fun and unique surprise during school days.

Delectable Blueberry Muffin Recipe

In my opinion, there is not anything better than a homemade blueberry muffin with a cup of fresh black coffee for breakfast in the morning. 

This blueberry muffin recipe is very easy, plus the ingredients are common staples in a kitchen, except the blueberries.  Anything homemade takes time, but these muffins can be made in less than an hour.

Whether you are entertaining guests, or simply your own family, these muffins are always a welcome treat.  

While they are fabulous right out of the oven (once cooled for a few minutes, of course), they can also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for a few days.  If you plan to serve them within a day or so, they can be left out at room temperature.  However, beyond that, they should be refrigerated.  

We have never had to refrigerate our muffins.  They tend to "disappear" the first day.

Faraday Bags for Personal Protection Against Theft & Tracking Reviewed

Faraday Bags Allow You to Block Tracking, Prevent Credit Card Data Theft & Key Fob Signal Theft

Electronics are great!  Many of us enjoy the convenience of email, online banking & shopping, reading books on electronic devices and even starting our cars with remote control.  However, with these fabulous conveniences come opportunities for theft.  

Thieves can use other electronic devices (rfid readers) to steal our credit card information without ever touching our wallets, or even the physical credit card.  There are other devices to transfer your car key fob's signal so they can unlock and start your car in order to steal it.  And, of course, we can all be tracked by our phones.  

Let's face it.  If we can electronically do anything, there is also a way for a thief to hack our devices and get entry to our information and property.  In order to protect our assets, we need Faraday bags to block their intrusion. 

I purchased a set of Faraday bags because I wasn't quite sure what size would be best for my needs or how I would want to use them daily.  It turns out, they are all needed.  I put the largest bag inside my backpack and use it as if it were a liner to the backpack.  I drop my keys & wallet in it and retrieve them (just as I would from the backpack) when I need them.  That keeps them from being exposed to thieves when I am simply carrying them while shopping, eating in a restaurant, or walking simply for exercise.  I gave the single key fob Faraday bag in the set to my son for his car key.  I can tell you from experience that it works!  We have since purchased several single key fob Faraday bags.

Keeping our electronic devises in a Faraday bag at home is also wise.  I recently read that thieves can stand outside your home windows and use devices to steal your data or signals while your wallets and key fobs are idly laying around your home.  I hate to say it, but that could also mean when you have workmen around your home.  

When my brother was flying and wanted to protect his laptop, we gave him a Faraday bag that was large enough to enclose his laptop.

Additional benefits of Faraday bags are that they are water and fire resistant.  Of course, that is limited protection against water or fire, but electronics could be saved by a Faraday bag if retrieved soon enough.

 

Set of Faraday Bags

IFENROL Faraday Bags EMP Proof - 4 Pack Faraday Pouch Anti-Tracking Key Fob Protector, Faraday Cage for Phones & Laptops & Tablets & Car Keys for Fireproof & WaterproofCheck Price There are 4 Faraday bags in varying sizes in the set that I initially purchased.  I have added to our collection of Faraday bags as needed for specific sized items.  I like having one in each of our vehicles to use when needed too.

Rest stops, restaurants, or a friend's driveway are examples of the kinds of places I might stop for a short period of time and not want to carry in my iPad or cellphone.  

Hotel rooms are also extremely venerable places.  If you usually set your cell phone, keys and/or wallet on the night stand in a hotel room while you sleep, a Faraday bag would be essential.

What's in the Set

• Large Faraday Bags (12.2 X 9.2 inch) - for Laptops & tablets
• Medium Faraday Pouch (10.63 X 6.8 inch) - for tablets
• Small Faraday Phone Pouch (7.87 X 4.72 inch) - for cell phones or passports
• Extra Small RFID pouch (5.9 X 3.15 inch) - for a key fob

Each bag has a top velco strip closure. Simply fold the top over to press the velco strips together for closure

 

These are the Faraday Bags I Purchased Separately for a Laptop and Additional Key Fobs

Security & Safety Adjustable Convex Garage Mirror Reviewed

In my opinion, a wall mounted mirror is essential in a garage for safety and security.

When we bought our current home, a search priority was an enclosed garage.  I was definitely willing to give up interior living area to have the safety provided by a garage.  I have never regretted that decision.  Actually, I would love to have more garage space.

As the years have passed, our garage has become a work space for my husband when he changes the oil in our cars and a variety of other maintenance jobs.  He has his tool chest stored under his work table against the garage wall.  There is just enough space there for his supplies.

Our garage has also become an easy access storage area for gardening equipment, painting supplies, and fans.  We even have a second refrigerator against the back wall of the garage.  

What I didn't consider prior to living in a home with a garage are the safety aspects.  There are actually safety issues, both good and bad.  The garage protects our cars and everything stored there.  We can load and unload a car in enclosed safety.  No one can observe when we are preparing for a trip.  However, I can't see through the walls.  When the garage door is open, people or animals can creep up on me.  

Because we use the garage for storage, there is less room for maneuvering vehicles.  There are times when I've needed help to make sure I didn't hit something as I pull into the garage.

Thankfully, my husband went in search of a mirror to hang on the back wall of the garage several years ago.  It has truly been a life saver as well as a ding deterrent. 

 

Wall Mounted Garage Mirror 

 24 Inch Convex Mirror with Adjustable Fixing Bracket, Wide Angle Outdoor Indoor Safety MirrorCheck Price

I highly recommend this specific mirror for a garage or carport.  The mirror is not made of glass which means that it will not break, plus it does not have issues with the heat or cold of outdoor changing temperatures.  It is marine grade waterproof-rated.  No fogging over, no shattering & it is lightweight! 

The mirror reminds me of the old security mirrors in stores.  It allows you to see around obstacles where someone could be hiding.  It is like having a huge rear-view mirror on the garage or carport wall.   

We selected the 24" mirror, but it is also available in 32".  The 32" is shown on the right.  Our mirror is orange with the hood on top to block light.  However, there is an 18" size available without the hood.

 

Features of the Garage Mirror: 

• Shatterproof poly-carbonate mirror 
• Lightweight
• Adjustable 
• Marine grade water-proof rated 
• Wide view provided of area 
• Comes with mounting bracket

To Hunt an Heiress by Martha Keyes - Book Reviewed

I have recently been reading the Bachelors of Blackstone's book series.  The series is a collaboration between several of my favorite authors and each book has been great.  I just finished the book, "To Hunt an Heiress" by Martha Keyes, and found it quite humorous and entertaining.  Therefore, I definitely wanted to review and recommend it to anyone who enjoys clean historical romance with a touch of humor.

It is not necessary to read every book in the series and it is not necessary to read them in a specific order.  The series does have a few characters, like Sir William Blackstone, shared by all of them, but the the books don't have a timeline that must be rigidly followed. 

To Hunt an Heiress was actually unique and funny enough that it had me telling my husband, who does not read romantic fiction, some of the mischievous antics of one of the characters in the book.  It's makes me grateful that the only pets we have ever entertained in our home were dogs and cats.

Aside from the borrowed pet in the story, the plot was still unique enough and the banter between the main characters was still funny enough, to recommend the book.  

 

To Hunt an Heiress Book Synopsis

 To Hunt an HeiressCheck PriceSebastian Drake needs money quick in order to get custody of his half-brothers and sister.  They are currently living with their uncle who has a hot temper, especially when he has been drinking, which is most often.  Sebastian could not originally get the custody because he was not 21.  Now that he is old enough, he must find a way to show the courts that he is financially capable of providing for his siblings.  Unfortunately, his own father's wealth was "assumed" and spent by his step-father.  Plus, the family estate has been left to him in deep debt.

With the help of two friends, he sets out to meet, court and marry an heiress quickly.  However, when he asks one heiress to marry him after courting her for a week, that heiress' uncle is quick to share with the all of society that Sebastian is an heiress hunter.  That shared knowledge makes Sebastian's plight much harder.

Upon hearing the gossip about the heiress hunter in their midst, Selina Lawrence sets out to teach the fortune hunter a lesson and employs some very interesting tactics.  Since she is a wealthy widow, society does not frown on her for not walking the proper line like they would a vulnerable debutante. 

The challenges between Sebastian and Selina make for a very entertaining game for readers to observe.

Hand Ice Pack Glove for Swelling and Pain Relief Reviewed

I purchased this ice pack glove for my mother this summer when she showed me her swollen hand after she had been pulling weeds from her flower bed.  I was not sure if the swelling was heat related or from arthritis, as she suspected, but I knew she couldn't close her hand to make a fist.  We needed to do something to get the swelling down.  Her Sunday School teacher is a physical therapist and he recommended cold treatment.  

My mother is a real trooper.  She will minimize anything that is hurting and there have been times in our lives when I was shocked to find out she was in real pain because she just kept going without complaint.  For her to show me her hand, I knew it had to be really bothering her.  Most likely because she couldn't play the piano due to the swelling.  Thus, the search began!

I knew I wanted a glove, not just an ice pack that would lay on her hand.  Mom isn't going to sit still long enough for the cold to help the swelling.  I bought the glove with the assurance of next day delivery.  The afternoon the ice pack glove arrived, I put it in my refrigerator overnight.  I was at her home bright and early the next morning to see if she could tolerate wearing the glove.  If this glove didn't work, I would be back at my computer seeking out something else to try.  

The ice glove immediately soothed the pain in her hand, or so she said.  She could have just been trying to make me feel better, but after 30 minutes, I could see it was reducing the swelling.  We put it in the freezer for 20 minutes then and put it back on her hand.  After another 30 minutes, she was able to close her hand.  I suspect with some pain she closed her hand, but there was clear improvement.  After that, I went home, but she told me that she wore it most of the day and her hand was much better.

She is now keeping the ice pack glove in her refrigerator and using it when needed.  She isn't going to stop working or playing the piano.  The arthritis could flare up again at any time, especially during the summer heat.  Having the ice glove on hand and ready to use is simply smart.

 

Hand Ice Pack Glove   

 Finger Arthritis Compression Hand Ice Pack Gloves for Pain Relief, Adjustable Wrist Ice Pack for Hot & Cold Therapies, Reusable Gel Finger Ice Pack Sleeve for Tendinitis, Carpal Tunnel Ice GloveCheck Price

I have already purchased an ice pack glove to keep in my refrigerator at all times.  You never know when it will be needed.

I prefer the glove style to the mitt so you can still use your fingers when wearing the glove.   

The cold only lasts about 30 minutes at a time.  Having two gloves might be preferred so you can alternate them.  Wear one while the other is cooling back down.

• Velcro fastening wrist strap attached
• Freeze for cold therapy

Mattel's 80th Anniversary Barbie Dolls Reviewed

Barbie dolls have always been my favorite toy and they have always been a part of my life.  As a child, I played with my Barbies.  As an adult, I collect my favorite specialty Barbies.  When I saw the 80th Anniversary Barbie Signature Doll, I knew I would want to add this gorgeous Barbie to my collection.  Seeing "80th anniversary" printed on her box caused me to pause and think though.  Barbie isn't 80!  No, she is not.  It is actually their maker, Mattel, that is celebrating their 80th year in business and they doing it in grand style with a signature edition anniversary Barbie.

While the Barbie Signature Doll may have been created with collectors in mind, there is also an much less expensive 80's anniversary Barbie for play.  I actually like both of them.  I have featured them at the bottom of this review for you to compare.  I would love to hear you thoughts.

Most of us are already familiar with Barbie's history.  The first Barbie was released and introduced to the world by Mattel in 1959.  Since then, Mattel has sold over a billion Barbie dolls.  It won't surprise you to hear that the Barbie line is the most profitable for Mattel.  She is their own private little gold mine.  After all, one can't just stop at one Barbie.  She must have everything: clothes, accessories, homes, cars, boats, camping equipment, and certainly friends.  And, let's not forget her movies.  Clearly, she is Mattel's biggest star. 

 

The 80th Anniversary Barbie

 Barbie Signature Doll, Mattel 80th Anniversary CollectibleCheck Price Red has always been a stunning color on Barbies.  Over the years, the annual Holiday Barbie has frequently been dressed in red, but this year, she wears her red for the special Mattel anniversary.  Ironically, she will be wearing gold for Christmas this year.

Take note of Barbie's earrings, shown in the picture on the right.  They prominently feature the letter "M" for Mattel in honor of the original Matty Mattel logo.  

Her fitted glittery red dress is stunningly detailed with a tulle bustle and accessorized with complimentary red sheer gloves and red pump shoes.  But, you don't need me to describe her.  You can see for yourself that she is gorgeous! 

A doll stand is included for displaying this lovely collectible.  As well as, a Certificate of Authenticity.

The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Winemaker Reviewed

I recently watched and reviewed Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Yarn Maker without realizing I had started watching the series out of order.  I will note that it didn't detract from my enjoyment of "A Case for the Yarn Maker" since I didn't know what I didn't know.  However, if you haven't started watching the series, you will wish to start with "A Case for the Winemaker", because it gives more background and initially introduces the characters. 

For instance, in the winemaker episode, we see the opening of Ainsley's craft market and get a better feel for how it works.  I loved the concept of the market, which is reminiscent of a crafts fair with individual booths.  While the market was the site of the murder in the second movie, A Case for the Yarn Maker, the market was not really the focus. 

We also see how a simple book club becomes a group of self-appointed "investigators" in a murder case.  In a small town, everyone knows everything about everyone, except outsiders.  In Sweet River, Texas, the book club simply can't resist a murder mystery in their own town!   

It is obvious that the movies do not have to be watched in order, but I would recommend it so you have all of the background knowledge and information. 

 

Synopsis of A Case for the Winemaker

 Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case For The WinemakerWatch on Amazon
Subscription May Be RequiredWhen Ainsley McGregor discovers a murder victim in the winery, she knows it is impossible to immediately identity the murderer.  No one is in the vicinity of the body and there is no apparent reason why anyone would kill someone in a winery.  

With her criminology background, Ainsley can't just sit back and watch when her best friend's husband (owner of the winery) is the number one murder suspect.  She, herself, questioned why he had changed clothes since she saw him earlier in the day.

It isn't hard for Ainsley to insert herself into the investigation since her brother, Ryan, is the town sheriff.  He tolerates her interference because of her criminologist background and uncanny intuition.  Together, the siblings really do make a fun team to watch.  They actually talk to each other like siblings instead of colleagues.  

Aside from the murder investigation, it is rather funny to watch the interactions between Ryan and his best friend, who seeks his advice on dating Ainsley.  

________ 

Ainsley McGregor (Candace Cameron Bure) is the main character, but the series would not be complete without her brother, Ryan McGregor (Robin Dunne) and his best friend, Jake Trenton (Aaron Ashmore).  Together, they make a wonderful trio of crime solvers who look out for each other.

Fabulous Hiking, Water-Resistant Cargo Pants for Women Reviewed

For those of us who hate carrying a purse, tote, or even a backpack, these cargo pants for women are awesome!

I get tired of having to keep up with any type of bag, especially if I am getting in and out of my car several times in one trip.  I also enjoy walking trails or in the woods with my camera.  Additional "baggage" is unwanted.  I have lamented several times how I wish they made lightweight cargo pants for women.  I admit, I have been rather covetous of my husband's cargo pants, but they are way to heavy to be comfortable for me to wear.

It has been really hot in our area this summer, which makes carrying anything extra more laborious.  Out of desperation, I went in search of lightweight cargo pants for women, truly expecting to find nothing.  Imagine my surprise when I found these fabulous hiking, water-resistant cargo pants.  I quickly ordered my first pair.  Yes, I did say first!  Now that I have experienced wearing them, I have ordered more in additional colors.  I doubt I will ever go back to wearing jeans and carrying a backpack for daily errands, walking, hiking, fishing, boating, or even in my own backyard.  Being able to put my cellphone, keys, ID, sunglasses, an extra camera battery, etc, in pockets on the side of my legs is like discovering a whole new way of living.  The are comfortable enough to wear indoors too, even when sitting at a desk or behind a computer.  They allow me to keep my cellphone on me at all times.

These pants might not be the height of fashion, but the are certainly the height of desirable clothing.

 

Outdoor Sports Cargo Pants for Women

This lightweight pair of water-resistant cargo pants for women is such a fantastic find.  There are so many reasons why these pants should be in every women's wardrobe, especially if they ever go outside.  The pockets side pockets with either a zipper or velcro closure, allow us to keep what we need close at hand.

One note, there are belt loops if you wish to wear a belt.  For me, the elastic waist band has been enough to hold my pants up, even when the pockets are fully loaded.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Movie Review

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, 
Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie is a refreshing return to the basics and Marvel comics for kids. It really is a family movie that everyone can enjoy.

While the movie is rated PG-13, the members of our family who viewed it together could only recall one swear word in the whole movie.  It could have received that rating because of the huge space creature, Galactus, with glowing eyes.  He could certainly be perceived as scary by a child.

Adults will enjoy the "retro" styles of the 60's.  Those old enough to remember will appreciate the notable design elements which include block letters and color panels commonly used in 60's media and comic books.  There is even a game show style marquee that is reminiscent of the iconic Stardust marquee.

 

The Fantastic Four:  First Steps Movie Synopsis 

The Fantastic Four started out as regular human astronauts, but when they returned to earth, they possessed unique powers after being exposed to cosmic radiation.  Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, has stretching powers and his body stretches to the extreme.  His wife, Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, can turn herself or anything invisible.  Sue's brother, Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, can literally turn his body to fire without burning himself.  And last, but not least, the captain of the spaceship, Ben Grimm is always The Thing and looks like a boulder with rock-like skin.  Unfortunately, Ben is the only one who cannot change back to his original human form and features.  However, he still possesses a heart of gold.

We find out very early in the movie that Sue is pregnant and they are all thrilled, but concerned about the baby's normalcy.  In spite of her pregnancy, when the earth is threatened by a space creature, the Fantastic Four must take action to protect the planet.  Galactus eats entire planets. Thanks to a heralding cosmic entity, the Silver Surfer, they learn that the next planet selected for his consumption is earth.
