Eco Friendly Dog Beds

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

When it becomes time to invest in a new bed for your dog you have plenty of options to choose from. It is not like it was years back when there were only a few kinds of beds available for the family dog. Now there are hundreds of kinds out there. With people becoming more sensitive to how they treat their environment, there are now dog beds out there like this round stripe hemp bed. This bed is made with an organic hemp cover and the filler is made from recycled plastics. It is also very soft and your dog will love its comfortable feel. You can select a size to fit most any dog from tiny dogs like a Chihuahua to a German Shepherd or larger. You can also select from 5 easy to look at colors: orange, green brown, blue, and red.

VewDo Zippy Balance Board - Improve Your Motor Coordination

Friday, May 15th, 2009

If you have young children, you might have enrolled them into a kid’s gym class. Some of these classes start when the child is one year’s old. What they learn at a young age is body awareness. Through play children are encouraged to walk a balance beam, tumble, climb stairs, hang from stationary bars, as well as do other physical activity. All to allow children to feel comfortable with their bodies, gain confidence in them, and develop their memory muscles. Teenagers who pick up a skateboard do so for the fun of it, but what they are really doing is developing balance and motor coordination skills. When the weather doesn’t allow for play on a skateboard or a surfboard, these kids continue to play but this time it’s on a balance board. A rocker-roller board like the cool Vew Do Zippy Balance Board is a great responsive board. (more…)

Kaiser LaForme Springform Pan for the Perfect Cake

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

We have quite a few food allergies in our family including egg and nut allergies, so I often end up having to make our desserts and special occasion cakes. I really don’t mind since I like knowing exactly what is in the food we’re eating, plus I tend to make healthier choices on ingredients compared to the store-bought versions. Of course, I sometimes run into problems of not having the right cake pan on-hand when I want to make a specific kind of cake. One of my families favorite cakes recently was a simple ice cream cake made with a graham cracker crust. Having to use a pie pan made the cake a little smaller than I would have liked and I realized that next time I’ll make a big ice cream layer cake instead using a Commercial-Weight Kaiser LaForme Springform Pan.
