Make Packed Lunches Exciting!

When children return to school after the holidays send them back with a healthy fun lunch!

As a mother of two and someone who has almost 30 years of child care experience I realize what kids will eat and what they throw away. One fact – most kids don’t like crusts on their bread. I know I’m not the only mom who has open up a lunch box to find the crust off a sandwich has not been eaten. There is a solution.

Invented by a mother of three young children,  The Lunch Punch  is a sandwich cutter that cuts sandwiches into fun and interactive bite-size shapes while cutting off the crusts.

Lunch punch sandwich cutters come in sets of four and there are currently 5 sets available: Read more…

                

The Slanket is one of those gifts you will wish you had of gifted to yourself.

Before we know it the cold of Winter will be upon us. Blankets are among the most helpful way to stay warm on a cold Winter’s night. The problem with a blanket though is the moment you reach for a drink, TV remote, popcorn etc, that warmth is lost.

Outside of wearing a housecoat, there is another solution. The Slanket is a blanket with over-sized sleeves that allows the wearer to cocoon themselves in warmth, while leaving their hands free for texting, reaching out for the remote and having their favorite drinks and snacks. A Slanket also offers an extra wide collar for added warmth.

For those of us who spend a lot of time at the computer like I do, you know that blankets and computers don’t go well together, because you have to expose your arms to get at the keys. The Slanket is definitely the answer.

Made out of polyester microfiber, the Slanket is soft to the touch, lightweight and thicker than that other blanket with sleeves. (You know the one on dollar store shelves across Canada. A reminder you get what you pay for.)

Smoothie Smart Blender

By J DesRochers

There are New Year’s resolutions, and then post New Year’s resolutions in which people resurrect their claim to live healthy active lives. This generally begins with the spring thaw and tapers off until the sweet summer heat kisses your skin and you scramble desperately to recreate your alluring beach body. Looking good and feeling grand all start with your diet, a healthy active life style starts at the dinner table and follows you as you carry on with your day. Was it not Fergie who said that her “milkshakes bring all the boy’s to the yard”? I truly believe that those song lyrics were inspired by the inventive minds of Hamilton Beach- and here is why- introducing the Smoothie Smart One- Touch Blender from HB.
