UberMom wipebox

With having a 20 month old and 5 month old girls you can imagine that i use a ton of wipes! I always have them with me in my car, my purse, the diaper bag and i'm sure i'm missing somewhere as well haha. Several brands make wipes packaged in those lovely plastic wrappers so they're portable but they can take up a ton of room and are really heavy! The UberMom wipebox is super lightweight which is very nice for carrying in your diaper bag or your purse for those short trips to the store or anywhere. It is lightweight and thin you do not have to worry about it adding extra weight to your bag or taking up much room. I am happy with how well it closes and stays closed even when you pack the Wipebox full with wipes. I have not had any issues with it popping open so no dry wipes. I also have found that no air creeps in and dries the wipes out they stay moist at all times. 




The Wipebox is extremely durable and strong. I have dropped it a few times just to see how well it would stand to being dropped, because I know that is coming. It has withstood the drops with ease no cracks or scratches. I am very pleased with the Über Mom Wipebox and cannot wait to get to show it off


About the company: At Über Mom, they are focused on quality and style and realized the need  for an attractive and functional wipe case. Wipes are not just for babies anymore. Grab a Wipebox and keep it in your handbag, diaper bag, glove box, sports bag, backpack or desk. Refill it with any brand of wipes and have it handy for quick clean ups.

Crockpot Chicken and noodles!

What better in fall when the weather cools off than a crock-pot recipe?! I have a wonderful Chicken and noodle recipe that tastes amazing!

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used frozen)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 stick of butter (eeek! I used 1/2 a stick)
chicken broth (recipe didn't state how many so I used 2 15 oz cans)
24 oz. frozen egg noodles (I used Reames)
Cook chicken, soup, butter, and broth in crockpot on low for 8 hours (I cooked it on low for 6 1/2 hours). Take chicken out and shred. Put chicken back in; add noodles and cook on low for 2 hours. Stir a few times while cooking. I served this over mashed potatoes, with a side of green beans. 

If you don't want to use frozen noodles you can also use dried egg noodles.

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has!

Slumber Stories

Tired of reading the same ol' bedtime stories? Want to come up with your own creative story or even have your kids tell a bedtime story?! You need Slumber Stories. I love the idea of this! Blocks with different pictures on each side, all you do is roll the dice and make up a story with the pictures you rolled. 

I currently have 3 different themed sets of Slumber Stories. Each set contains 6 dice. That's 36 images to create wonderful and fun stories of. If you get all 3 sets you can mix and match them all together to create even more and sillier stories.

Castle Theme: A set of 6 Castle themed Slumber Stories Dice.

The Story Behind Slumber Stories

My children were bored of reading and hearing the same stories at bedtime. It didn't financially make sense to go out and buy a new book every day for bedtime. I wanted to find a way to make it more exciting for them.....So I created Slumber Stories Dice as a fun way to make up silly stories at bedtime.
But they don`t only use them at bedtime....they play them as a game during the day as well. I love playing Slumber Stories with them and laughing with them at the stories they are able to create from the dice.
They have created stories about princess astronauts, a cowboy that lived in a tree and even a love story about a dog and a cat LOL!

Tuc-Away Tables


I found these tables online and thought they were pretty cool! I know in our living room we don't have enough room for side tables so having something that sits right next to the couch and folds out as needed would be wonderful! Plus no need to worry about your little ones getting hurt on the corners of a table since it has rounded edges and can fold down. Its easy to set up as well! The installation instructions are posted below. You can check out their website at www.tucawaytables.com
                        


Instructions steps image

Step 1

Use the enclosed measuring tool. Measure from the floor to the base of furniture. Match the number on back of your TUC-Away Table. Move bar to proper hole. 

Step 2

Angle the table to slide the bar under furniture. The TUC-Away Table should fit firmly against the side of your furniture.  (If table is pulling away from furniture easily, adjust the metal bar to a higher position.  This will increase tension and allow you to put more weight on the table) *Note weight restrictions. 

Step 3

Your new versitile end table is ready for use. Slide the table top into position or leave in the down position. 
(Remember when removing your end table pull out from the bottom so that the top of the side table is never angled away from your furniture.) 

Requirements

The furniture that you would like to attach the Tuc-Away Table to, must measure at least 1.5 inch and at most 10 inch from the floor to the base.
