New Year, New "Do"....with Hoo-Rag! (Sponsored Review)

Tired of tying scarfs around your neck?

Trying to get the perfect folds in your bandana?

Look no further. 

The Hoo-Rag is the solution!

You can wear it on your neck as a neck warmer, you can wear it as a beanie, a headband, even a face rag.

Check out this video on how to use your Hoo-Rag:

I like the Hoo-Rag because it makes it so simple when you are on your way to the gym, you don't have to mess with headbands or bandanas, you just throw this on and you are set!

I received the Hoowaiian Hook (makau)   Hoo Rag in the mail for review. I love the wide variety of designs that Hoo Rag has to offer! I also love the smooth moisture wicking material! It is light and comfortable to wear.

They even have custom options available on their website!

I definitely recomend the Hoo Rag for anyone who is into sports, or would wear a bandana or scarf. The Hoo Rag is the real deal.

Try the Hoo Rag! Come back here and tell me what you think, I'd love to hear your experiences with the Hoo Rag!

Baby A even likes the Hoo Rag! I can't keep a bow in her hair, but she will wear the Hoo Rag as a beanie! The beanie is my favorite way to wear it.

The Juppy Walker MOMENTUM Review!

I was elated to recieve the NEW Juppy Walker MOMENTUM in the mail for a review. Baby A was 11 months old and taking only 1-2 steps at a time when we recievcd it. She is now a year old and running all over the place.

Baby A loved the Juppy immediately. It was hilarious because at first she didn't know what to do, she kept lifting both feet off the ground thinking she could swing in it. It's not supposed to be used as a swing, so we had to show her she could walk in it. 

She loved it!! Hubby followed her up and down the hallway several times, she was giggling and had a big smile on her face the whole time!

What I love about the Juppy is that it not only has a zipper on the back, but it also has 2 high quality velcro straps. We have a super skinny waisted baby so the straps were a tad loose on her, but if you have an average size baby it will fit perfectly!

Here is a front view of Baby A walking in the walker. I whited out her name for her privacy.

It came in a super cute satiny pouch!

Baby A's Juppy came personalized. We also had a choice of colors and chose the pink Juppy.

Front view of the Juppy. As you can see it is well made. This was Hubby's first comment when he saw it! The stitching and materials are a great quality! 

I love the handle comfort grips that Juppy added to their walker. I like that they are removable as well!

Another plus, is that it is machine washable! 

I really think that this is a great product and valuable for parents of babies who are interested in learning to walk!

Since Baby A likes it, I am pretty sure your baby will too!

Dealing with a Learning Problem? 

You May Need a New Approach. 

 The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Einstein coined this phrase, and it holds true now more than ever, especially when referring to academic success and how we help those students who are struggling to learn. Traditional approaches to solving learning problems will take a student who has been in a classroom all day, a fatigued learner, who is not able to learn with methods being taught, and try to teach that student more of what didn’t work all day. This is insane!
 For progress to be made, the student needs to be taught in a different way. Piling on more academics when dealing with a student who is not performing well academically can be a recipe for disaster. The solution is neuro-sensory educational therapy (NSET). NSET takes students back to the very basic level of learning – gross motor skills. Skills that may not have been formed in development. The NSET program is now available as a program you can do at home with your child. The system is very easy to follow and highly effective at correcting learning problems. You can find the complete system at http://www.learning-aids.com
Babies are not born hard wired for every task. They wire their brains as they develop. Tasks that cross the vertical midline (crawling) are what helps them develop. Developing gross motor skills is the first and most necessary step that needs to take place to build a proper learning foundation for students. This is what may have been missed and without it learning success is nearly impossible. NSET first develops gross motor skills and once those skills are in place, NSET moves the student into the visual level. 75-90 percent of what we take in is visual, so this is a very important step in the learning success. NSET works students on visual processing skills as well as eye tracking, visual closure, visual discrimination, visual memory, and visual motor integration. These skills are vitally important for students to be able to read, write, spell, and perform basic mathematical operations. Yet, students are rarely taught these skills with traditional approaches. Instead, they are fed another dose of academics. NSET breaks the academics down into smaller pieces and slowly build up the learning foundation.
 Next, NSET takes the student into an auditory level. So many students struggle to hear correctly or fail to filter out extraneous information. It is extremely important for a student to be able to hear sounds correctly to read, write, and spell. Students work on auditory discrimination, auditory closure, auditory memory, auditory processing, and basic following of directions to prepare students academically as well as to sit in a classroom and listen and correctly process a teacher’s lecture. As an added bonus, focusing skills will come into play naturally once the student’s visual and auditory skills are in place. Many students are misdiagnosed as having ADD, when in fact they are struggling to focus because of distractions in their environment or weak learning systems. It is hard to focus if you can’t tune out background noises or if the letters on your pages are wiggling and not holding still. While working with the student’s sensory learning systems, it’s important to also incorporate brain retraining activities that help the student strengthen the communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain as well as build new neural pathways in the brain. This is a specific, step by step process where basic skills such as eye tracking are strengthened and slowly multi-step thinking and processing skills are attained. Although this approach is not traditional in the sense that it is not a dose of more academics, this method of helping students overcome learning differences has been used successfully for almost 15 years. Students who have failed to learn with other approaches find success, usually within 12 to 18 months with consistent application. And, there is nothing better than watching a student go from failure to success, both academically and in life.
 Whether you are concerned about a minor learning difference or you are dealing with something more serious such as needing Treatment for dysgraphia (trouble with writing), Dyscalculia Treatment (Like dyslexia for math), or dyslexia treatment NSET might be just what you are looking for.

The Better Chip {Sponsored Review}

If you are looking for a healthy alternative to potato chips, then I have found the perfect snack!

 It's great for all kinds of families for a couple of reasons!

1. They are healthier than regular chips!

2. They are tasty too!

Fresh Corn & Sea Salt, Jalapeno & Sea Salt, Red Pepper & Salsa Fresca, Sweet Onion & Cheddar

The Better Chip sent me 4 flavors to try! 

Since I cannot eat dairy, Hubby reviewed the Sweet Onion & White Cheddar flavor.

All the chips & the t-shirt & bag they sent me!

Normally in our household we are snacking on almonds, carrots, raisins....those sort of things. But occasionally we do like to change up our snacks.

These chips fit right in with our healthy lifestyle!

Here is some more info & our reviews of each flavor:

1. Fresh Corn & Sea Salt: 

(From their website)

"Made with 40% fresh corn so the flavor is inside

All Natural

Gluten Free

Non-GMO "

Ingredients: CORN MASA FLOUR, WHOLE CORN, SUNFLOWER AND/OR CORN OIL, SEA SALT.

Our Thoughts:

Hubby and I loved these chips! They have a super fresh and crisp flavor. A little salty too. They have a great crunch, and are wonderful for dipping in salsa or hummus! This is a chip that could go with pretty much anything! We definitely are fans of this flavor.

2. Jalapeno & Sea Salt:

(From their website)

"Made with 40% fresh jalapeno so the flavor is inside

All Natural

Gluten Free

Non-GMO "

Ingredients: CORN MASA FLOUR, SUNFLOWER AND/OR CORN OIL, JALAPENO PEPPERS, ONIONS, SEA SALT.

Our Thoughts: 

We thought that this chip also had an amazing crunch. Also great for dipping! Has a spicy kick to it that builds with each chip that you eat, although if you don't normally eat spicy, it is a good time to try it! We love spicy and this was a great chip for us! 

3. Red Pepper & Salsa Fresca:

(From their website)

"Made with 40% fresh red pepper so the flavor is inside

All Natural

Gluten Free

Non-GMO "

Ingredients: CORN MASA FLOUR, SUNFLOWER AND/OR CORN OIL, RED BELL PEPPERS, ONIONS, SEASONING ( TOMATO POWDER, SALT, ONION POWDER, GARLIC POWDER, SUGAR, SPICES, GREEN BELL PEPPER POWDER, CHILI PEPPER, YEAST EXTRACT, DEHYDRATED PARSLEY, CHIPOTLE PEPPER POWDER, CITRIC ACID, OIL OF LIME, SPICE (EXTRACTIVE).

Our Thoughts: 

This is a great chip to eat by itself. It has a flavor that really leaves a great impression and makes you want to buy them again. These are Hubby's and my absolute favorite! If you can only try one chip, try the Red Pepper flavor! It is a chip that would also be great with salsa! It's not spicy, but it has a wonderful pop of flavor! 

4. Sweet Onion & White Cheddar:

(From their website)

"Made with 40% fresh onion so the flavor is inside

All Natural

Gluten Free

Non-GMO "

Ingredients: CORN MASA FLOUR, ONIONS, SUNFLOWER AND/OR CORN OIL, SEASONING (WHEY, SALT, NATURAL FLAVORS WITH PASTEURIZED MILK, CULTURES, ENZYMES), SUGAR, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, SALT, CHEESE CULTURES, ENZYMES), AUTOLYZED YEAST, CREAM, AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, GARLIC POWDER, NONFAT MILK, TAPIOCA MALTODEXTRIN.

CONTAINS: MILK

Hubby's Thoughts:

It has a definite cheese flavor. If you like onions and cheddar this is definitely for you. Not necessarily a dipping chip though, seems best eaten on its own. The flavor is good & strong, but not overpowering. Delicious.

All of the flavors of chips really taste like what they look like on the package. You see the picture and the name, you taste them... and they taste like what you expect! All the flavor for only 130 calories! That's a good thing! 

We really enjoyed taste testing the chips and want to say THANK YOU to The Better Chip for letting us try them! 

The Better Chip is currently sold in 13 US states, so be sure to look for them next time you are at the store! 

Try The Better Chip!!
