And on the 4th day …

gift guide feature

Something yummy for your tummy…

Why It Was Chosen:

My wife is an amazing cook and after spending Thanksgiving with my mother-in-law, I can see clearly where she inherited her abilities. I also noticed that just like my house, the center of my MIL’s house revolves around the kitchen. Food, Family, Fun… The Fix-It and Forget-It Kids Cookbook is a great tool to introduce the next top chefs in your family the wonderful world of food.

Name of Product:

Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook: 50 Favorite Recipes to Make in a Slow Cooker by Phyllis Pellman Good

Short Description:

The Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook:50 Favorite Recipes to Make in a Slow Cooker offers kids the direction they need to prepare main courses, snacks, and desserts.

Each recipe includes a full-color photo of the finished dish. The recipes also give clear step-by-step instructions. Each supplies a list of ingredients and a list of equipment needed to complete the prep.

Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook includes Fruity Waffle Topping, Cheesy Egg and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole, Big Juicy Burgers, Super Spaghetti Sauce, and Chocolate Covered Pretzels. Plus 44 more “may-I-have-another-helping” favorites.

Review / Opinions:
This is a great gift for any kid that loves to cook! Not only kids, but it is great for those cooks that need simple instructions and only a few ingredients (I must say, I am a great cook when using this cookbook)!

My favorite recipe is the Gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake on page 104 or the Chunky Chili on page 34. It is a very close toss up.

Men, buy this cookbook for yourselves and you can impress your wife/girlfriend with your genius culinary abilities!

GoLite Stone Ranch Fleece Jacket- 5th Day of Christmas

By on - Leave a Comment

And on the 5th day …

gift guide feature

Something to keep you warm and cozy…


Why it was chosen:

This product was chosen for the 5th day of Christmas because it is  extremely lightweight, but it also has the ability to keep you warm.  Most importantly , GoLite is a company we can all learn from. They do an exceptional job protecting the environment while making awesome products. Their company goal is, “ to eliminate or mitigate 100% of our environmental footprint and be a model company in how we treat our people and community” Not only do they want to make a difference in the environment, but in the community as well. Kudos, GoLite!!

The Product:
GoLite Stone Ranch Fleece Jacket.

The Details:
High-performance fleece that looks smart every where from the trail to the coffee shop. The GoLite Fleece is made of 100 % recycled materials and has two hand warmer pockets and a plush interior collar.

My Opinion:
When I lived in Minnesota, the temperatures would have to be sub-zero before I would wear a jacket. Mainly because I feel restrained in a big heavy coat. My co-workers would think I was nuts for not wearing a coat when it was -27 outside. I still wore my hat and gloves, just no coat or jacket.

Fast forward, and now I live in San Antonio where the temperatures are very, very mild in the winter months so a big over-coat is not necessary. My family and I actually laugh when we see people in there parkas, hats, and gloves when it is 50 degrees outside. So you guessed it, I don’t wear a coat here either.

So as you can see, I am not fond of wearing outer wear. Yes, I was cold in Minnesota without a coat. I just hated bulky coats, especially in the car. Now that I have found the GoLite Stone Rance Fleece Jacket, I have no problem wearing a jacket at all. I can’t believe how LIGHTWEIGHT this jacket is. For such a lightweight jacket, it is really warm!! I wish I had known about this jacket the five long winters I spent in Minnesota.

I got the black GoLite Stone Ranch Fleece Jacket. It is nice enough to wear with business casual clothing but tough and durable enough to wear on a hike or backpacking. This jacket will come in handy when I visit Colorado during the winter months. I also don’t mind wearing it in the car. It doesn’t restrict or restrain me at all. This is a very versatile jacket.

The GoLite Stone Ranch Fleece Jacket will make a wonderful gift for any nature lover, hiker, backpacker, or any other person like me that likes to stay warm but hates to wear jackets! Now, the Nuts can have the best of both worlds, warmth and lightweight!

Review / Opinions:

Hello, Readers! It’s Sandy, A.K.A. Mrs. Coupon Dad, I persuaded Zack to let me handle the review of the Dyson DC23 vacuum. First, let me say, I am not your typical woman. You see, I love most housework (dishes not included). My top three chores are:

  1. laundry
  2. ironing
  3. vacuuming- my favorite

My friends were about to commit me to the insane asylum because I was ecstatic when Zack bought me my first Dyson back in 2004 for our anniversary! Can you imagine my joy when I got my hands on the DC23 Animal Canister?

The last time I used a canister vacuum was probably probably 30 years ago. Boy, how times have changed! The first major difference is the weight. It weighs less than 20 pounds. The second, is the maneuverability. This baby can get into some really tight spaces. Around the coffee table, under the bed, no problem. I was also amazed at how close to the edge of the baseboards the vacuum gets.

The most difficult part of vacuuming my home is the 15 stairs leading to our second floor. The DC23 just follows me up the stairs making it really no big deal any more.

Destiny doing her chores!!

The stairs in our house are now happy! They get vacuumed more than once every six months since the DC23 came into the picture. It is no longer a chore.

The DC23 would make a great gift for any other housework fanatic in your life! Plus, the color is great (purple is my favorite color) and you never ever have to buy bags!!!

Organic Beauty Now Review and Giveaway- 7th Day of Christmas

By on -

And on the 7th day …

gift guide feature

Something to make you feel beautiful…

Name of Product:

  • Made of ingredients obtained from sources that practice fair trade, ensuring that those who provide them are compensated fairly and treated with dignity

Review / Opinions:
The great people at Organic Beauty Now sent me three great products to try out-

  1. Skin & Bones Moisturizer– A unisex, all-in-one, hand-blended, organic face and body moisturizer that does more than double or even triple duty, but septuple duty. Reduces wrinkles, controls acne, removes shine, heals cuticles, energizes scalp and hair follicles, tames split ends, and conditions hair. Use as an aftershave and relieve eczema, sunburns and chapped skin. The main ingredient, jojoba, is the closest thing in nature to human skin, combined with nine essential oils that have special skin healing properties.
  2. Dark Chocolate Truffle Scrub- Our scrubs are made with turbinado sugar (raw unbleached sugar), and dead sea salts rich in minerals. All scrubs are meant to be applied in small quantities, onto moist skin. After application, the scrub is menat to be gently worked onto the skin, into a paste-like texture. Allow scrub to sit while you work it over the entire body. This is how it becomes detoxifying to the skin and immune system of the skin cells. All scrubs have a high concentration of the active ingredient prominent to each scrub family.
  3. Banana Smoothie Detangler- Banana Smoothie Detangler conditions while gently separating unruly tangles. Kiwi extract and hydrolyzed wheat protein strengthen and protect children’s fine hair from the damaging effects of sun exposure, chlorine and frequent brushing. A special botanical essential oil blend leaves hair silky, soft and shining.

My family and I love organic products and my wife especially loves organic beauty products! First, we will start with the Banana Smoothie Detangler. My daughter Amber has some… well… she calls it “ratty hair” and the detangler does a great job giving her smooth, tangle free hair. It smells good too!

The Dark Chocolate Truffle Scrub is amazing. Truthfully, I never tried this product because Sandy, my wife, hid it from me. She used the product to give herself a pedicure. She also used it on her elbows. The scrub did a great job exfoliating. Her heels and elbows are not longer dry, they are soft and smooth. Plus, the scrub smells amazing!!!

Finally, there is the Skin & Bones Moisturizer. This too is a product Sandy and I fight over. She likes to use it when she does her nails. I like it for my head! I was not blessed by the hair fairy…LOL, Since the day the subject of hair loss came about, Sandy informed me I would not have “ring around the scalp”. So, I shave, which can sometimes make my scalp very dry and flaky. Skin and Bones does a great job preventing that problem. I just rub a little on after shaving and no worries! As you can see, Skin & Bones comes in a spray pump. I would recommend spraying a little in your hand and then applying to the area you want.  A little goes a VERY long way!!

KIWI Shoe Care Review and Giveaway- 9th Day of Christmas

By on -

….and on the 9th Day of Christmas.

We have another great gift idea……this one for the sharp dressing people in your life!

Gift Guide feature

Name of Product:
Kiwi Shoe Care

Short Description:
KIWI understands that shoes can be expensive and that keeping them in good repair is a better means of extending the life of your favorite pair of shoes, thus saving you money!

3 stocking stuffer suggestions from KIWI:

  • KIWI Suede & Nubuck Protector– KIWI Suede & Nubuck Protector provides maximum protection against water and stains, so your Suede & Nubuck leather shoes remain new looking longer. The formula contains a special polymer which produces an invisible protective shield.
  • KIWI Boot Protector– KIWI Boot Protector is just what they need! KIWI Boot Protector’s unique silicone formula bonds to leather and fabrics to create an extremely tough barrier, while still allowing materials to breathe. It’s ideal for work, hunting, hiking and other outdoor boots and shoes. And it’s even odorless when dried and cured.
  • KIWI Leather Care Kit– Contents include 2 – 1 1/8oz. Tins of polish (1 black and 1 brown), 2 daubers, 1 shine brush, and 1 shine cloth.

Review / Opinions:

KIWI made our 9th Day of Christmas simply because it is a very inexpensive gift that anyone can use and will appreciate. If you don’t know what to get dad this holiday season, think about KIWI!

Growing up in a military family, shining shoes and shoe care has always been apart of my life. In fact, my wife says that one of the first things she noticed about me was my shoes were shined and clean. She likes her shoes shiny and well kept too!

KIWI shoe care is how I have been caring for all of my shoes for as long as I can remember. I keep all my KIWI supplies in an old shoe box and once per week or so my wife and I grab and old towel, sit on the floor and watch our favorite television show while shining shoes! We are BIG time party animal…LOL!

Using KIWI products will not only keep your shoes looking new, but they will also make your shoes last longer saving you money which is a huge plus when you have a wife and 3 daughters that love shoes.
