Give mom the gift of yoga this Mother's Day. If mom hasn't discovered yoga yet, she's in for a surprise. It's a tried and true way to relieve stress and help maintain flexibility as you age. My dad does yoga three times a week and he is in excellent shape! To get mom started gear her up with the essentials. Of course she'll be more motivated if there is a cute outfit involved – the loungewear pajama set is ideal for the beginner at home. A guided yoga practice from Suzanne Deason will help give an introduction to what's in store at the yoga studio; mom will be a perfect downward dog in no time. And of she'll be off to yoga class in no time with her yoga mat, water bottle and a chic yoga tote to carry it in.

Greener Clean line from Scotch-Brite
If you are reading this blog you are probably a mom or a dad, maybe a grandparent. And if you are one of those, then you probably spend a good amount of time cleaning. Whether it's wiping juice off of the counter top, squished food off the floor, toothpaste off of the bathroom counter, or dried up ketchup off of a plate, you're cleaning something. For years I used paper towels to clean up small messes, that is until I realized that was not a very smart or 'Green' thing to do. With as many messes as I have to clean up, I would throw away dozens of paper towels every day. That's not very earth or wallet friendly. Scotch-Brite's new greener clean line of cleaning products is perfect for people like me who have mess after mess to clean up and are trying to stop using paper towels.
The Greener Clean collection of reusable
cleaning products combines the cleaning power consumers have come to expect
from the Scotch-Brite brand with eco-conscious natural and recycled materials.
That means there’s no need to spend extra money on disposable cleaning
products like paper towels and cleaning wipes, saving consumers a bundle.
My favorite 'greener clean' products are the 'soap loaded scrubbers' and the 'Biodegradable* Absorbent Sponge'. I use these two products everyday. The sponge is great for every day counter top cleaning and the soap loaded scrubbers are gentle enough to use on my stainless steel pots and pans without scratching them.
Almost all of Scotch-Brite's Greener Clean products are Biodegradable and the packaging is made from 100% recycled material. It is said on the Scotch-Brite website that their Biodegradeable Absorbent Sponge will outlast 30 rolls of paper towels while the Absorbent Cloth will outlast 16 rolls. You can learn what some of the terms used here such as Biodegradable mean on the Scotch-Brite website here.

Little Tikes Picnic n’ Playhouse
"This is awesome!" – Madelyn, 2 years old
Those were Madelyn's first words when she saw the Little Tikes Picnic n' Playhouse all put together. While Tim was building the playhouse she couldn't stay off of it and had her share of yelling at, but now that it's built she doesn't want to come out of it. I don't blame her. She eats her breakfast and lunch in her playhouse when it's nice outside while I enjoy a nice peaceful meal on the back porch. So besides being a great toy for Madelyn, the Picnic n' Playhouse from Little Tikes gives me a few minutes to myself each day that I literally didn't have before. Who would have thought a toddler playhouse could do that for a mom?
The Little Tikes Picnic n' Playhouse is relatively easy to put together. The only tools we needed were a mallet, a power screw driver and the playhouse was built within about 2 hours including breaks.
What Madelyn loves about the Little Tikes Picnic n' Playhouse:
- She can eat inside or outside the house with the fold-down table and pop in/out chairs
- The working light
- She likes to play princess or captain on the platform at the top of the slide and climbing wall
- She gets to call all of her friends from inside her playhouse with her very own cordless phone
- The slide is her relaxing spot when she's tuckered out from a long day on the phone
What I love about the Little Tikes Picnic n' Playhouse
- It's spacious enough for both Madelyn (2) and Sebastian (9) to fit inside and enjoy
- It's easy to move from place to place in the yard. I like to keep her out of the sun.
- I can enjoy a snack outside the house while she's inside but were both sitting on a slide out chair.
I wish..
- The slide was a little longer
- That there could be a floor
- A doorbell would be cute!
- I had one when I was a kid.
You can buy a Little Tikes Picnic n' Playhouse right from the Little Tikes website or from Amazon.com. I think it's shipping free from Amazon.com here
