Puzzle Name 2 tier Step Stool from Bea's Gift Baskets and Gifts Review!

Photobucket
Our kids are growing up in a world that they are just too small for sometimes. They can’t reach the sink to brush their teeth or wash their hands. They have to have someone pick them up and hold them to do these tasks. Of course there are times it is good that your children can’t reach the counter or sink. I suggest that every child has a step stool. They are helpful when they need to reach something.

We always do a lot of holiday cooking and baking. This year I think that Noah is big enough to help out with simple tasks. I have cooked with him before. Although it was lots of fun it was kind of a pain because he is just so small. I can’t wait to have him stand on his little step stool that I got to review from Bea’s Gift Baskets and Gifts. He is going to stand next to me while we bake.

I have been buzzing about Bea's lot lately. I have been talking about the gift baskets but they also sell step stools. These step stools are hand crafted out of fine wood. They also have a puzzle on the top of the step stool with your child’s name on them. They are completely made to order. It takes about 2 to 3 weeks to make but trust me it is totally worth it. The staff at Bea’s was wonderful and I was updated on the status of my stool from the time that I ordered to the time I opened the box.

When Noah’s stool came I was so excited I was excited all day to see it. UPS brought it to my house and I opened the box. I took it out with Noah standing right next to me. He saw it and immediately said that’s my name. He must of done the puzzle like twenty times before it was time for bed. He stood on the stool some too. It is a strong step stool. It even held me. Of course it is a child’s stool and is meant for a child not for adults.

Noah loves his new step stool. He enjoys the puzzle and likes to be big and tall. I like it because it is well made. Plastic step stools make me nervous. Plastic isn’t very strong and it can crack easily without warning. I have had plastic step stools flip over and crack on me when I was younger. So I am very happy to have such a great step stool that is sturdy and fun for him to use. It is Noah’s size. He can get climb up it with ease and climb down easily.

So with the help of this cool step stool and Bea’s Gift Baskets and Gifts, Noah can now reach the sink and the counter by himself. He is at the age where he is becoming much more independent. This is a great tool to help him do so. The stool is put away for only the times that he needs it or he’d turn on the sink and go swimming in the bathroom. That would be a complete disaster. So it is in a closet where he can’t get it out unless I am with him. The step stool would be a wonderful gift for that special child in your life for any occasion. If you are looking for a gorgeous step stool for your child that is well made and very sturdy please check out Bea’s Gift Baskets and Gifts.

Don’t forget to check out all the other gift baskets and great baby gifts. They are constantly adding new items so check it out often.

Thank you to Bea’s Gift Baskets and Gifts for sending me a complimentary Step stool to review. Noah thanks you too!

Glade Holiday Collection Review and Giveaway

As I have mentioned before, I love candles. I love the ambiance that they create. I love the aroma of the candle and it just provides warmth and atmosphere. So when I had the opportunity to review two of the new Glade Holiday Candles I was really excited. I really like Glade products and I have many of them in my home. Glade of course is an air freshener company that makes candles, air fresheners and carpet deodorizers which I call Carpet Sprinkles. Glade has many different products and scents. One of my family’s Christmas traditions is buying a candle that smells like a Christmas tree. I love that tradition but there are many other holiday scents of candles I like as well.

Glade has different types of candles. The normal candles in a glass candle holder, the candles in the tins and the Scented Oil Candles. I think that the Scented Oil Candles are cool because when they are done they go out. You can re use the same base over and over with different scents too. I love the Glade commercials. My favorite one is the one where the lady tries to convince her friends that her candle is a boutique candle from France and the label is stuck to the back of her dress. One of her friends says what you have never heard of Gladay. I think the commercials are so funny.

I had the opportunity to try the Bayberry Spice Holiday candle and the Apple Cinnamon scented oil candle. The Bayberry Spice candle is in a beautiful glass holder that is perfect for my holiday décor. It smells wonderful. It is actually lit right now. I often use candles as decorations when they are not lit. It is my favorite color too! It is a strong scent but not over powering. I have noticed that some candles are really over powering or you have to almost burn your nose to smell anything. The Bayberry Spice has a spicy scent that reminds me of Christmases in the past. The Apple Cinnamon Scented Oil candle is great as well. My favorite candle scent is apple. I love the smell of cinnamon too. It reminds me of apple crisp when I smell it. It is warm and inviting and a sweet yet spicy aroma.

The great thing about Glade candles are they are inexpensive. There is usually coupons in the Sunday paper to help you save even more. You can afford to put a Glade candle in every room. You can even afford to burn them all day. I like those expensive candles that you get at candle stores but since they are so expensive I can only get one at a time. I am much more careful about burning them too. Glade candles smell great and are very affordable for all of your candle needs.

I have a giveaway for you.
