5 Fun-tastic Bath Time Toys for Kids

October 5, 2013 by Sandra 2 Comments


A special thanks to Nuby for the fantastic toys I received to review and talk about.

5 Fun-tastic Nuby Bath Time Toys for Kids!

When I think of bath time for my children, I can’t help but think of what really makes bath time fun for them.

Bubbles. They must have bubbles.

And toys.

Because what’s a bath full of bubbles if you have no awesome toys to play with? Toys turn regular ole’ bath time into fun time, and today I’m sharing five great toys that my little ones are loving.

Fishy Basketball
Elisabeth likes to play with the fishes that come with the Nuby Fish Swoosh Bath Time Play Set. It’s like playing mini-hoop basketball in the tub but with fishes that squirt water. I wish I had this toy when I was a kid. I love the bright colors, and the suction cups make it easy to stick the hoop to the bathroom wall.

nuby fish swooshThe Octopus that Floats
The Nuby Floating Octopus bath toyΒ is a great way to help kids learn a little coordination as they toss the rings onto the octopus tentacles. This octopus really does float, so it’s perfect for bubble baths because it doesn’t get lost at the bottom of the bathtub!

Use the Sea Scooper for Play and Storage
The Nuby Whale Pail Sea Scooper is adorable and functional. Not only is it a fun toy to imagine with, but it also doubles as storage for other bath toys.

The whale pail comes with a wall mount that allows it to conveniently hang from the bathroom wall. This makes drying bath toys (so they don’t get that icky film on the inside) a breeze.

For Kids Who Love to Squirt Water
The Nuby Squid Squirter is great for little ones that like to go wild and squirt water everywhere. I know I love it when my kids surprise me with water all over the bathroom. πŸ™‚

Seriously, though, with a little instruction about keeping water off the bathroom ceiling (and floor), this could be a wonderful toy for your child.

Nuby Squid Squirter

The squid squirter is brightly colored and cute. And it comes with a long handle that your little one can use to pull water in and then shoot out. This toy will make bath time more lively and entertaining anytime it’s used in the tub. It’s the great toy for splashing around with in the pool, too.

Bonus: If your kids use the Squid Squirter in the pool, you won’t have to worry about water outside the bathtub.

Nuby Squid Squirter Review

Keep Soap Out of Little Eyes
Another Nuby bath time product that offers both play and function is theΒ Nuby Tear Free Rinse Pail. You can use it toΒ keep soapy water from getting into your little one’s eyes, and they can use it as a bucket to fill with water for playing!

Nuby Tear Free Rinse Pail Review

Here’s a side view of the rinse pail:
The curvy shape helps to steer water away from a child’s face, and the handle makes it easy to hold.

Nuby Tear Free Sideview

Bath Time + Toys + Bubbles = Happy Memories
I still remember how much I loved using my imagination during bath time when I was a kid, and I still remember the bubbles and toys that sparked that imagination.

Do your kids have any favorite bath time toys or routines?

10 Goals for the Week: Keeping Things Simple

September 23, 2013 by Sandra 6 Comments


10 Goals to Tackle This Week

I haven’t written a post to share my goals since the end of July. And I almost laughed out loud this morning as I got ready for the day and the thought crossed my mind that maybe I should write a goals post today.

Life has been so unpredictable lately that it’s taking its toll on my mental state. I’m feeling sad and depressed and like I just can’t handle things right now. And at the same time, I know that I have to keep living life and moving forward. I have to keep being a wife and mom. I have to write and return emails.

I think it’s just the events of last week that brought me to this point. On Monday, what I thought would be a somewhat short doctor’s appointment for David ended up in him needing a platelet transfusion and us getting home around 7:00pm. We’d left the house around 9:30am. On Tuesday night, David had a fever that resulted in a hospital stay. We were able to leave the hospital on Thursday afternoon. But then David wasn’t himself on Saturday or Sunday, so after a call to his doctor on Sunday morning, I took him to the emergency room.

I suspected that David needed blood. His skin has been looking yellowish, and he’s been cranky, tired, and irritable. In the emergency room, they drew blood and found that David’s levels are borderline needing transfusions. His hemoglobin was 8.2 (he gets transfused when it goes below 8.0), and his platelets were at 24 (he gets transfused when his platelets go below 20). Because David was borderline, he wasn’t given any transfusions, and we went back home.

David woke up screaming and cryingΒ in an unpleasant mood this morning, but I’m thankful that Ruben was home to help today. We’ll watch him for the rest of the day and see how he’s doing before I call the doctor again or they call me, because they’re going to call at some point today to check on David.

All that to say, I can’t take this anymore I’m tired of this…for David and for all of us.

But I’m reminded of God’s grace. It’s sufficient, so we’ll keep moving forward trusting Him along this life’s broken road.

Setting Goals
I think it would also be helpful for me to set goals for this week (which will involve another hospital stay for David – a planned 4 day stay this time). I think setting goals may help me to focus on something that needs to be done when I’m feeling discouraged.

So, here are my goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Pack a bag for David’s upcoming hospital stay and be sure to pack large books to take along, too. I use the books to act as a barrier and distraction for when David’s getting a shot or an IV put in. I saw this done by one of the Child Life specialistsΒ at a hospital in Florida and thought it was a genius way to help distract kids during a blood draw and/or IV insertion.

2. Set up childcare

Personal Goals:

3. Take a little time away for myself

4. Read 10 pages of the book Desperate (I had completely stopped reading this book and just picked it up again on Sunday. I want to try to finish it soon.)

5. Eat healthy

Home Management Goals:

6. De-clutter my desk area (which is a magnet area for toys)

7. Wipe down door handles with disinfectant wipes

Business Goals:

8. Get caught up on work

9. Return emails

10. Write 4 blog posts

What are your goals for this week?

Staying Connected No Matter Where I am with a Sprint Mobile Hotspot

September 20, 2013 by Sandra 5 Comments


I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sprint.

I received product samples to facilitate my review.

Staying Connected with a Sprint Mobile Hotspot #SprintMom

Blogging and staying up-to-date isn’t easy these days.

Now that school has started again for the kids (at home) and with David’s frequent hospital visits for blood and platelet transfusions, I have to be creative and find new ways and pockets of time to blog, return emails, and connect with others online.

I don’t have a choice really.

Blogging is my job, and I love it. I want to continue to blog even through the craziness of homeschooling three kids and the gut-wrenching pain we’re experiencing as we walk through the reality that my son has a rare disease and unless the Lord miraculously heals him (and I believe He can) will require a bone marrow transplant.

davidCatching up & Staying Connected with a Hotspot
Life is hectic and unpredictable, but one thing that’s helping me stay afloat with when it comes to working online and connecting with others via email and social media is a little device I’ve long wanted — a mobile hotspot.

Actually, it’s a Sprint NETGEAR Zing Mobile Hotspot with a color touchscreen.

Sprint Mobile Hotspot #SprintMom

How I Use a Mobile Hotspot
My absolute favorite way to use this hotspot is in the car. In the past, I’ve taken my computer with me on long car rides, and I’ve been able to power up Photoshop and edit blog post images as we drove to wherever we were headed.

hotspot

If I wanted to actually write a blog post, I had to write it in a text editor and later transfer the content to my actual WordPress editor area. For several reasons, I tried to avoid this completely and only wrote blog posts in the car when I was up against a deadline.

Now…with my NETGEAR Zing mobile hotspot, I can:

    • Write blog posts in the car
    • Connect with others on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets
    • Return emails
    • Do any other online tasks I was previously unable to do before I had a mobile hotspot

Sprint Mobile Hotspot - blogging in the car

I’m excited to finally have a mobile hotspot of my own. I know I had a huge smile on my face when it was out of the package, and I first laid eyes on it. πŸ™‚

It’s helping me to be more productive (my word for 2013), and it’s proving to be very useful for the hour long car rides to the Children’s hospital in Chicago.

Yes, I’ll be using this hotspot for a long time to come.

Do you have a mobile hotspot? Have you ever considered getting one for work, school, or just because?
