Product details

Colour: Bracelet- Light Sapphire

This is very pretty ...but it is not silver I don't think...as I have bought quite a few things from this same seller, it would be stamped s925,and that one was the only one that said silver in the listing ,this one has no stamps except thier brand name on the clasp...I couldn't even tell you if the Crystal's are genuine as they are cut very well...I am happy with it though as it's quite cheap tbf....and it does really look lovely

The bracelet was really pretty, and seems well constructed. I wear this bracelet daily and so far so good and has not changed color at all. It really sparkles in the sun too. Totally worth it. I wore the bracelet over the weekend to an event and got many compliments on it. I would have paid a lot more for it elsewhere. I am really happy I found this bracelet. Will buy again form this company.

My brother and sister-in-law bought this for my 2 boys (1 & 3) for their birthday. Talk about the BEST present ever!! We have had this bounce house for almost 2 weeks now and my boys have been inside jumping every single day - sometimes multiple times per day. It is super easy to set up, it took me about 5 minutes from the time I opened the box to when I was ready to turn on the blower. After that, it was only another 20 seconds (seriously... I timed it) to inflate the entire bounce house. It seems to be well made, and certainly will get loads of use, not only from my boys, but from all of their friends as well. My brother also sent us about 400 balls for the pit - it fills it up the ball pit about 1/2 way or a little less. I think we will order another 400 balls (total of 800), because that would just be the cherry on top of this most Awesome bounce house.

It's not just a toy, it's a learning experience.
The pictures are so colorful and the buttons are a great size for a child's hand. This game is so fun that children don't know that it's educational.
On their own your child will match the colors of the buttons to the circles around the button holes. With a helper they can also learn the names of the colors.
But what if they cannot match the colors? They simply have fun putting the buttons in the holes.
What ever way this is used by your child, they are developing their brains by playing. They exercise their hand muscles for future writing, drawing and keyboarding. They exercise their hand-eye coordination when they pick up and place the buttons. While they play they are developing their concentration, sense of order, coordination and attention span.
It's not just a toy, it's a learning experience!

Product information




So I love first of all that this set came in a nap-sack made to fit the items without restricting the space it takes up in my house to a box shape alone! Also....hello! The veggies can literally be cut (sounds and saws) through the precut Velcro innards...I didn’t even know this was going to be included- so that was a super fun surprise. I think it’s also nifty how the veggies once cut fit perfectly with easily arranged face down to allow the lid of the pots to allow a full seal while full of the (sizzling and steaming) play food. I’m Glad...no...I’m Exceptionally pleased that I chose this set for my 24 month old!

Love this pots and pans set, I wanted to keep it for myself!!!If you have a little one who likes to help you cook, THIS is the purchase you need to make. Perfect size for small hands, excellent quality of stainless steel, comes with a bag, to keep it together, after use. It even came with a set of wooden utensils!!! I can't WAIT to cook up some goodies with my granddaughter! This was the first purchase I have ever made, but I absolutely will make many more!

Well made, easy assembly, light weight, super cute. However there is no way a 2 year old could properly ride this scooter bc the seat height is not adjustable. Would be perfect if seat was adjustable. :-/ My son is 19 months old and its already too small for him. We ended up purchasing a quad bike/scooter for him with an adjustable seat height. I feel it is false advertising to say this scooter is suitable for 18 mo-3 yrs without an adjustable seat. More like 15 mos-18mos unless your child is smaller in size. My Son is in the 90th percentile in height and weighs 29 lbs. Hope this helps!

Most Adorable workbench!!!
I find that wooden toys such as this is always the better way too go! The quality is strong, sturdy and durable! Legs are even so no rocking or tilting coming from it. It was very easy to assemble it came with a Allen wrench so I didn’t have to pull tools out! Major plus!
Took about 15 min to assemble
The paint job on this is nice, smooth and has a glossy look. It feels like it’s made of hardwood cause it’s tough and strong!
It is heavy for a toy which can only mean great quality! It can actually be a bench for kids to sit on too, that’s how strong it is.
The size is perfect height for toddlers! Bought this for a 2 year old and he loves it, it comes up to about mid torso!!
Easy to wipe clean after being played with!
Comes with an array of wooden accessories like screws nuts and bolts and screwdriver
It’s super cute!
I definitely recommend this cute workbench as a gift for a little boy or girl! Don’t buy the cheap plastic ones that fall apart, the wooden kind last longer so you can get more for your money! This was very well worth the cost.
I’d love to see a pink one made, that would be super cute and I’m sure would sell great!!

Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs By Robert Sabuda & Matthew Reinhart: Book Review

https://amzn.to/2VMkOge

The three PROS of the Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-Up:
1. It has quickly become one of my son’s most valued possessions.
2. It’s teaching my son about how to have nice things (something my wife and I still need to learn.)
3. We’ve had it for over a month now without any damage.

The three CONS are:
1. I have to protect the book with my life to ensure Bucky doesn’t destroy it.
2. I have to read the book to my four-year-old. My son refuses to read.
3. It costs more than most 12-page books

We bought the Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs because we like to give each of our boys a good book for Christmas each year. We give them the book on Christmas Eve so we can sit quietly as a family and read the evening before Krampus comes to destroy us all. Bucky was pretty enamored with it.

Bucky just turned four, and as a helicopter parent, I feel like I still need to hover over him when he’s reading the book so he closes all the pop-ups and doesn’t smash them. However, when he has had unsupervised time with it, the book has proven to be quite resilient.

As for the content, there is a lot of information that I didn’t know, and the author pokes fun of my antiquated understanding of dinosaurs. Did you know T Rex wasn’t the biggest, baddest dinosaur under the Mambo Sun? It’s true! There was some made up guy named gigantosaurus who owned him.

Anyway, I strongly recommend this book if you have a youngster in your life who is interested in dinosaurs, pop-up books, and the inevitable decline of man. Five stars!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I’m here to help!

 This book is incredibly impressive. I am including a video so you can sort of see the depth and involvement this brings.
When it arrived it appeared very thick. On the sides though it clearly doesnt look like alot of pages. BUT it is filled will alot of fun and factual information. There are 5+ popups per page and each has its own bit of information.
Types of dinos, Carnivores, Herbivores, Feathered, Armored, Biggest etc. Lots of different information in this book.
I got it for my dino obsessed 3 year old. Will be 4 in two months. He absolutely LOVES it. He wants it read as a bedtime story but there is so much info you could prob do 1 page per night and extend it out. He never wants us to stop reading it.
I have always been a fan of popups and this is the most impressive popup I have seen yet. Its just GORGEOUS.

5,000 Awesome Facts (About Everything!) (National Geographic Kids): Book Review

https://amzn.to/2KEBpl4

This is my go to gift for children's birthdays. Kids get so many toys and clothes that I always like to try something a bit different. The pictures are colorful and the facts are very interesting and straight forward. I usually buy this for kids 7 and up. That's seems to be a good age fir the reading level.
I had a mom thank me for the gift a few weeks after giving it because she said that the book made her boy excited to read!

My 10 year old son loves this book and all the fun facts in it. There are things about food, animals, history, survival skills, math, human body, robots etc. He loves learning about how things work and why they do what they do and this book covers all that. It is a nice big hardback book and I am impressed at the quality and the price. Very glad I got him this.

Our office participates in buying gifts for abused children placed in a temporary home. The boy was interested in weird science facts so I purchased a few of these types of books. Of course, when I got them, I had to flip through. :)

This book was so much fun. I thought that it would actually be perfect to get for my dad because he is a trivia buff. Excellent book for old and young alike!!! Would definitely purchase again.

The Big Orange Book of Beginner Books By Dr. Seuss: Book Review

https://amzn.to/2VJxlkw

I read this book several times to my class of 5th graders every year- because I feel like it really speaks a lot about life. I work in a Title I school, where we are really focusing on getting all of our students to succeed- via whatever path they choose after high school. Many of our children had never been out of the county before this year, when we took them on a field trip across the state to a zoo. I feel like this book not only encourages them, but also kind of gives them a heads up of the reality of "later life". Sometimes you aren't on top of the world, and you do get lost, and you do have to keep going to try to get out of your rut. And you don't want to be caught with the people who are just "waiting around"...we want them to be proactive and do something about it. I save up all year and purchase each of my students a copy and write a note to them individually, so that they know that they have someone who is in their corner, really pushing for them. That being said, I also read this to my own small children- because they just really enjoy the story, and all of the pictures.

I gave this book to my stepchildren when they graduated from college. I read it myself in my 30s because I was a freelance writer, and this simple book helped me gather the courage to open myself to all the possibilities. I had a very successful career as a freelance writer of only non-fiction. In my retirement, I need to read this again as I'm now writing and indie publishing serious mid-grade/young adult fiction as Pleasant Oliver and once again, I need its boost of enthusiasm and courage for all the wonderful possibilities and opportunities that are going to come my way! In Spring 2018, I will give it my great nephew as he graduates from high school, and in later years, I will give it my other great nieces and nephews when they graduate from high school--maybe again when they graduate from college!

I ordered this book to use as a guestbook for my college graduation party. It was perfect! Each page teaches a different lesson with a particular excerpt from a Dr. Seuss story. It was a colorful, fun way for the important people in my life to choose a lesson they agreed with and write me a little note to go alongside it. I will keep it forever!

An excellent set of books, I am so glad I got them!

Just Me and My Dad (Little Critter) By Mercer Mayer: Book Review

https://amzn.to/2DcNzvi

This book came perfectly package in great condition will definitely buy again I have 5-year-old learning to read and he loves the series of books. They're simple to understand. They're easy for young children to follow along. they're easy to read. They follow a nice simple three sentences max per line page there is sometimes a rhyming scheme to help with learning to read. The pictures help children to understand and tell the story. They're not too long and they're not too short so you can get a read or two out and then he's out for the night they also tend to have good lessons in them for just teaching kids how to behave and be good kids. There are good morals in it. It is great to see that there are books to encourage and foster a good relationship between Fathers & Sons. We need more books like this out there.

In addition to this book, I also got Just Me and My Mom. These are the first 2 books I have bought for my new granddaughter. Both of her parents were smiling as they read these books as I was when they arrived at my house.The illustrations are precious and the story is simple and cute! I am so happy with both books that I plan on buying the entire series of Little Critter! I would also try any other children's books by this author!

I've never met a kid who didn't like the Little Critter books. I highly recommend them. thanks for reading!

As You Grow By Korie Herold: Book Review

https://amzn.to/2KAm30P

As You Grow: A Modern Memory Book for Baby

Finally, a modern baby book!

When looking for a baby book to document my daughter's first year, I was frustrated at the lack of modern and detailed books that were available. The style of "As You Grow" is delicate yet sturdy, detailed yet minimalistic, structured yet open-ended. This book chronicles years 0-5 with its emphasis on your baby's first year. Pages that may not apply (ie: Christmas or Hanukkah) can easily be removed without leaving a gaping hole or tear in your book as the book is bound in a way that allows this! They have also left room for your book to grow thicker with pictures and artwork (so the pages won't outgrow the spine)! The book is also open for different family structures and is gender neutral decorated with gorgeous calligraphy and airy, whimsical drawings of plants and leaves. So much thoughtfulness has been put into this book and it shows!

Sections of the book are separated by sturdy "pockets" that you can put letters/pages/artwork/cards in. They are made very well and don't "stick out" in a way that some pockets do in memory books. They flow seamlessly with the pages and provide a nice texture variation to separate the book's main "chapters" which include:

* Before There Was You (The Pregnancy)
* And Suddenly You Were My Everything (Birth and the First Weeks)
* Discovering You (Months 1-12)
* Memorable Moments (Firsts, Stories, and How you Made us Laugh)
* Watching you Grow (Childhood Highlights (Ages 2-5)
*You are So Loved (Letters to Baby)

The purpose of a baby book is not just for you to remember but eventually to pass on to your chlid as an adult. Your child will appreciate "As You Grow" as a work of love when they are older as it chronicles their first 5 years of life in a special, witty, and thoughtful way. The book itself seems like it will last through the years. The pages aren't flimsy at all but more like cardstock. The binding itself seems dependable/hardy yet looks delicate.

Overall, I recommend this book and think that it will be greatly appreciated as a gift to any parent who values style, quality, and beauty!

The manufacturer provided a copy for an honest review. I have no personal or financial interest in the company or in anyone employed there.

  • Hardcover: 160 pages

  • Product Dimensions: 10.7 x 0.9 x 10 inches
  • Shipping Weight: 2.6 pounds

So if you're looking for a beautiful baby book. A clean line, organic inspired, modern lines....this is the one! I took a lot of pics so you can see what I'm talking about. check out the bind and thickness of the pages! And the cover is so lovely!

Oh and my favorite thing is that it goes up to 5 years old!!

Between Mom and Me By Katie Clemons: Book Review

Between Mom and Me: A Mother and Son Keepsake Journal

I am a homeschooling parent who tries to work journaling into our studies at least once per week. Last school year, we did the traditional composition books with space for a picture at the top. However, that became very monotonous so I was on the search for something more fun, engaging, and ever changing for this year. I hit the nail on the head with this! I loved that it made journaling a give and take between my son and I, and when I asked him what he thought he was really excited about it. We're over 12 weeks in now, and it has most certainly lived up to both of our expectations. At the beginning of the book, you choose how you want to go about it and who can read it. We kept ours top secret between just the two of us, and that makes it even cooler. It's like passing notes with a friend at school. We're always thrilled to see what the other has to say. It's fun! I hope he looks back on it one day and sees how much I love him and worked to make his education and our communication with one another so special.
 
I love this! I use this with my 9yr old son. We needed something like this as he is the oldest of four children, and while he never complains, I sometimes feel like so much of my attention is given to feeding and diapering and tending to the needs of the smaller children that we don't connect as much. This is a perfect way to keep a more intimate connection, and has a lot of fun journal prompts. It makes him feel special to have this "private" journal with mommy and keeps communication open between us when I would otherwise get one-word, general answers.

Great opportunity to have something between mom and son. Taking one star because of questions of mom asking the son for his internet and social media usernames - If the child is doing this book, yet old enough to be on social media, the parent should already know it. However for many, the child using this isn’t yet using their own social media accounts
