Holiday Gift Guide: Keep Cool Down South with a Capresso Iced Tea Maker!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

Okay, I know it's winter and all, but first of all, our coastal Texas winter doesn't really get THAT cold for THAT long and secondly, down South, it's ALWAYS the perfect weather for some sweet iced tea!  So yes, I think the Iced Tea Maker from Capresso makes a fantastic gift idea this holiday season!

Capresso defines the ultimate in home coffee equipment with its innovative coffee makers, espresso machines, coffee grinders, automatic water kettles and other kitchen electrics (like the Iced Tea Maker!) for those who want the best.

Custom brew a refreshing pitcher of iced tea at the touch of a button with the Capresso Iced Tea Maker.  It's super easy...add your sweetener or fruit, ice to the ice line, water to the water line, add tea bags to the filter, select your strength,  push the button and bam!

Iced tea can be served and stored in the beautiful glass pitcher, which I love!  My other favorite feature is that you can select your preferred strength...for me it's super strong all the way and oh man, is it good!

We have been using our Iced Tea Maker several times a week (we drink A LOT of sweet tea) and couldn't be happier.  There was also a fantastic recipe booklet that came along with the machine and I can't wait to try out some of the mouthwatering teas using seasonal fresh fruit!

If you have a tea lover on your gift giving list, the Capresso Iced Tea Maker would be perfect!

Holiday Gift Guide: On-the-Go Cleaning Cloths for Hands and Face from e-Cloth®!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

My kiddos are a little too old for me to be carrying around wet wipes and let's face it, these days many wipes contain Methylisothiazolinon (MI). This preservative is linked to horrific itchy red allergic reactions on children's skin!  But with kiddos of any age (and even adults) messes happen, especially when you're on the go.  Be prepared for those messes with the Chemical-free and Reusable Hand and Face Cleaning set from Baby Care by e-cloth® 

This handy dandy kit allows parents to quickly clean up sticky hands and faces at home or on the go with just water and the cloth! Unlike other wipes, parents can rest assured that they are safely cleaning precious skin without the use of any chemical additives, fragrances and dyes! 

This kit is available in three beautiful case designs and helps you be kinder to your kiddo's skin, your wallet and the environment!

This awesome clean up kit would make a lovely gift this holiday season!

Holiday Gift Guide: Give New Life to Forgotten Hot Wheels with Paper Trax!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

Do you have a toy box in your home that’s full of toy cars that haven’t been touched for awhile?  I know we did, at least before we got to try out Paper Trax!  Paper Trax is the invention that will make your kids pull out their Hot Wheels and play for hours!

The genius of Paper Trax is how they are made and how they are used. This is a completely recyclable, all paper based race track created to race cars on Trax attached to your walls. A new addition to the Paper Trax family is the Corner Track. Now you can Trax your whole house, from one side of your room to the other!

Paper Trax are easy to assemble and since they use 3M Command Strips to stick in place, they are sturdy and they shouldn't damage most walls.

Paper Trax Features Include:

Fits all standard "matchbox" cars

100% recyclable toy

Countless creative track configurations

Safe for walls

Transform the package into a bonus Trax - No waste!

Paper Trax is super fun and super easy to use! All you do is pop open the box, fold the Trax and stick them to the wall with a removable adhesive tape (Command Strips) and your kids will be entertained for hours on the Trax they create! Kids and their parents both love Paper Trax so much that they received Dr. Toy's Green Toy Award! Their goal is to transform every box destined for the recycle bin into a toy race track and what a great idea:)

D set his first "track" up with baskets underneath that he assigned point values.  He and A played for hours trying to outscore one another and really enjoying some of the gnarly tricks and crashes their cars performed due to the set up of his Trax:)  You can set them up in a variety of ways.  In fact, you are only limited by your own imagination.

 Watch a video to see how fun Paper Trax truly are!

As an added bonus, this bag can easily be transformed into a stylish carryall once you are done breastfeeding (or in between babies:) making it a budget-friendly choice!

Any breastfeeding mom would be over-the-moon excited to receive a Kaylaa Bag this holiday season!
