Little Snowie 2 sent us a sample to review and my family LOVED it. We had a fantastic family night and made a quick little video of using the Little Snowie 2.

The Little Snowie 2 is so easy to use. We took it out of the box, plugged it in, put ice in it and put a bowl down to catch the ice and pushed it down and it made shaved ice in seconds. It was amazing. They also sent us so many samples of syrup the kids had a sugary blast, you can see it on Zoe’s face here.

The Little Snowie 2 produces the closest thing you’ll find to the smooth fluffy shaved ice from your neighborhood snow stand without having to fork out $1000 or more on a commercial shaver. That’s right, it’s commercial grade and portable at the same time. My cousin ended up taking it to her house after we used it in Florida. Yep, she stole my Little Snowie and took it to Texas.

There are over 50 different syrup flavors.

Nobody knows snow cones and flavored shaved ice desserts better than Snowie LLC. Having manufactured commercial ice shavers for the restaurant, outdoor event, and roadside snow stand industries for over 30 years, this small but proud USA Company has now taken their world leading expertise and developed the best home shaver on the planet.

Little Snowie 2(TM) pumps out smooth icy desserts in just seconds. Say no to hand cranking, or weak motors and blades that fill a cup with crunchy ice chips. Little Snowie 2’s™ ice has the texture of freshly fallen snow – fluffy and soft, it melts in your mouth.

We even created a few adult beverages using the Little Snowie 2™.

To USE:

simply use ice cubes from your refrigerator, or any bulk ice cubes from the store; there’s no hassle of having to pre-freeze a large custom shaped ice cylinder

The Snowie motor and power switch has passed commercial use testing by ETL at over 100,000 repetitions, that’s a lot of cups of shaved ice. It is worth the price because it pays for itself after a couple of uses!

We received a sample.

My entire family struggles with some form of anxiety. My husband and son experience it to the point where it affects their sleep. My son, well at night he gets upset about what happened during the day and then compounds all of it and will cry. He just has so much trouble shutting his mind down and not worrying himself into a frenzy. So we were really excited when we were offered the review of the Weighted blanket that is supposed to help with anxiety. And It seems to be helping him some. Mostly I would say, he gets into a funk and doesn’t want to be alone. He does love his new weighted blanket though.

Weighted Blanket Benefits:

If you are wondering what size to choose Weighting Comforts has a size chart to help you pick the right size. The ideal blanket weight is 10% of your body weight. When in between sizes, we recommend going down. Many of their customers find the 15 lb blanket to be the right weight.

How is a blanket made and what is it made of?

Each Weighting Comforts blanket is handmade by a refugee woman in Nashville, Tennessee, creating income for her family. They use high quality 100% cotton fabric and 100% polyester thread for added strength and durability. The weighted beads inside each 5” pocket are made from an FDA-approved, non-irritating PVC compound.

How and why does an a weighted blanket help?

This weighted blanket is designed to improve your sleep and reduce your anxiety for year-round comfort. Many people experience a deeper and more restful sleep on the first night. Others find the blanket’s weight restrictive at first, but after several nights grow to love the effect of the weight.

Miles found it to be very odd at first. But he loved that I got it for him. It was special to him and when we went on vacation he wanted to bring it with him. I just didn’t need that extra weight in the suitcase, but I was tempted to let him since he has identified with it.

It works like a deep tissue massage, similar to the effect of a dentist’s lead blanket, releasing serotonin throughout your body to help you calm down and relax.

We receive a sample so we could include the Infantino’s Sit, Spin & Entertainer 360 Seat and Activity Table in our STEM Gift Guide coming out later this year.

Infantino’s Sit, Spin & Entertainer 360 Seat & Activity Table is the perfect example of a toy that will keep your little one busy while also providing sensory stimulation for optimal intellectual growth. With 6 engaging toys, light up buttons and music, it’s a fantastic playtime set for babies all the way to toddlers!

What I loved about the Infantino Sit Spin & Entertainer 360 was there was no assembly needed. We opened up the box and this thing just popped out together. We were also able to easily fold it back down and it fit perfectly back into the box. It’s great for storage. When not in use it’s flat and could go under the bed.

I also really like how light and simple it is. As far as sensory goes I think some baby toys are over the top and just have too much. This activity table has three different activities making it a great choice. It can have up to six different activities though. And the legs are adjustable as your child grows the table will grow.

• Age grade 4 months to 5 years
• Entertainer transforms into a stand-and-play activity table
• Three height positions grow with baby.
• Includes 6 engaging toys with lights up buttons and musical effects
• For the seat position, children should be under 25 pounds and/or 30 inches tall. Must be able to sit upright unassisted. Once children can walk independently, discontinue using this product as a seat and switch to table mode.

We would use ours to keep the kids where I needed them to be. If I needed to work then I put the activity table so I could work. If I needed to cook or garden then that’s where I would put the kids so I could get what I needed done and they were in a safe spot and able to entertain themselves.
