Leader Accessories Pintail Complete Longboard Review

I was very happy about the opportunity to review the Leader Accessories Pintail Complete Longboard. Both of my sons have been skateboarding for a couple of years now. My oldest who is 12 decided he preferred a longboard over a regular skateboard. So this was a great opportunity to try out something he would like.

My Review

 This longboard is ready to go when you get it. When my son first stepped on it he immediately said it was too tight. He got the wrench and loosened it up. Then it was perfect. He tried it on our old asphalt road, and he was greatly surprised about how smooth it was. Out road is rough, so he was expecting what some of the other boards had done. However he said this was the smoothest he had ever felt our old road.

The green color is bright, but it has beautiful maple wood look to it. The wheels on this board are white, which will just end up dirty, but hey they looked nice!

Overall this is an awesome board. My son is already googling upgrades for it so that he can be ready when the wheels wear out. I have nothing bad to say about this board. My son likes it and it is very fairly priced. So I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a quality longboard for themselves or their child.

If you would to get your own they come in several colors. You can find your own Leader Accessories Pintail Complete Longboard here.

I Got My Homophobia Is A Social Disease T Shirt!

Ahh yes. I try sometimes to stay away from my personal opinions. I don't much like starting arguments. However in the recent months I have had it up to my ears with homophobic people.

Let me start with saying I am a Bi Sexual 33 year old woman who is in a heterosexual marriage. Just because I married a man though, does not make me less Bi Sexual. I have been attracted to females and males my whole life. I didn't choose to be attracted to women, I just was.

I remember being a preteen and having a huge crush on TLC's Left Eye (RIP). When I started seeing the phrase Homosexuality is a social disease I was infuriated. The idea of implying people just choose to be attracted to the same sex is as silly as saying people choose to be straight! So when I was given the opportunity to try out this shirt I was very excited!

See I live in the South. Not only do I live in the south, but I also live in a small town. I don't know what it is about these small southern towns, but there are some of the most homophobic people I have ever seen.  So what's better than a shirt to make them see where I stand on the issue?

Not only was I excited about the words, but the color is one of my favorite colors also. In this state the Carolina Gamecocks are a pretty important college football team, and all of my shirts for them are also this color. So I was happy with it.

The size was exactly what I was expecting. So when you order from this company you know what you are getting. No having your shirt show up just for it too be way too small because it was sized in another country.

It feels durable, and after washing per the instructions it did NOT shrink! The best thing about this shirt is not the color, the material, or it's durability. The BEST part of this shirt are the words. I love watching the people around here read it. Either they look up at me with a smile, or their homophobic selves are disgusted with it and it shows!

I am loving everything about it! I wish I had one in every color because I would wear them all the time just to watch people's reactions!


Get yourself one today here because Homophobia IS a Social Disease!

Excuse the lack of makeup and my hair looking a mess!

Cutie Reusable Food Pouches

Why Cutie Reusable Food Pouches? 

 

Source:CutieLand

A few years ago these type food pouches started popping up in stores. They usually have either a fruit puree or a fruit veggie mix puree in them for kids to easily suck down something healthy. Well I love the concept. What I don't love is not knowing how fresh the product inside is. 

We are gardeners. We currently are growing over 30 fruits and veggie varieties here at home. In the summer months I am overloaded with things like blackberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, and squash. So I had been thinking of things I could do with the excess to help my kids put all of it to good use. 

Personally I like making my kids healthy food at home. Even though my children aren't babies anymore at 12,10, and 5 all of them still enjoy fruit pouches. So when I saw the opportunity to try out some Cutie reusable pouches at a discount in exchange for my honest review I immediately jumped on the opportunity!

Filling Cutie Reusable Food Pouches

If you are filling with refrigerator items you can fill all the way up. It is super easy and fast. 

• Put the lid on
• Open the bottom 
• Fill to your desired fullness
• Seal the bottom
• Refrigerate

If you are filling with something that you plan to freeze, only fill 3/4 of the way. This way your ingredients have room to expand.    

Cleaning Cutie Reusable Food Pouches

When your child is done with their cutie food pouch simply open the bottom and place on the top rack of the dishwasher. If you are like me, and YOU are the dishwasher, no worries because it is easy. Just take the lid off, open the bottom, and clean the inside. It is all very simple. Nothing about this product makes them hard to use!

Awesome Silicone Gloves For Cooking

Anything cooking? YES please! What is it about silicone that makes me drawn to it like a cat to a fish tank? Well it's shiny and soft, and flexible, and well I just like how it looks! It really doesn't matter if it is a silicone cookie sheet or a silicone nose ring, I'm drawn in!

Yes I'm weird. Yes I am okay with that! :) So I had been looking for a good set of silicone gloves for cooking. Mostly because I hate how nasty pot holders get and how gross I feel putting my hand in the soft glove. I know I have been lazy and not thrown them in the washing machine nearly enough. So I am basically sticking a bacteria covered mess on my hand and on my food. Then I feel bad for being lazy. In my defense I am a mom of 3 who is busy, but still I wanted a way to get rid of the hassle!

So I was a bit nervous about these even though I loved how they looked. I tried them out the other night when I was making stuffed bell peppers. The garden is getting big and I am having to find ways to put to use the stuff we are growing.

I was amazed at how well they worked! Even though my oven was at 400 degrees, all I felt was some mild warmth when I pulled them out the oven. Yay! When I was done I just put dawn on my gloved hands and washed my 'hands' with the gloves on.

No more having to remember to grab these when I am washing clothes. Nope! Just wash my hands when I am done and I am good to go! I really love these. I think they are a great addition to my kitchen. If you want some you can order some here.
