Untangle your Mealtime

We are happy to have arriving this week, some great stainless steel dish sets by Un Tangled Living.


These sets include fork, spoon, bowl plate and cup. Eliminate Plastic! We are so excited about these sets from a great Canadian Mom. My kids use glass and ceramic now and we have had many broken dishes...this is the perfect solution and something they can pass to their kids.
These come in a cute Butterfly design or a Gecko! The perfect 1st Birthday gift.



You can learn more about Sue and her mission here http://untangledliving.com/un_about_us.html

Have a Happy Sunday!

How wearing Amber can help for teething

Amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin. When amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases amounts of healing oils from the amber.
Amber contains analgesic properties and helps take the edge off when teething. Also great for clearing up teething redness.
Ask any mom and they will tell you how amazing it works. Not to mention the cuteness factor.

Lots of necklace styles to chose from, try it for yourself!!!
