I’ll be honest, I’m out of the loop.  I have no idea where this mustache craze came from.  Whatever and wherever it came from it’s here.  As I was looking for decorations for my sister’s bridal shower they actually had mustache themed shower decorations in more places than one.  There’s mustache T-shirts, heck I’ve even seen mustache cookie cutters.  Whatever the reason for the mustaches, they can be fun. So if you’re looking for a cute and unique gift for a hipster baby look no further than the Mustachifier.

So what is a “Mustachifier”, it’s a pacifier with a mustache, a mustache pacifier.  The whole pacifier itself is clear.  The mustache sits just so on the pacifier so it makes your baby look like they’re wearing a mustache.  The Mustachifier is just slightly weightier than a regular pacfier. I assume do to the attached mustache.  It didn’t seem to hinder my daughter using it.  Yes I said my daughter, I still think it’s cool baby gift even for a girl.

She received “The Gentleman” Mustachifier.  Doesn’t it just look so cute on her?  It doesn’t seem to bother her that there is a mustache on her pacifier. The nipple shape of the Mustachifier seemed to work out well for her too.  There are different styles of the Mustachifier too.  Besides The Gentleman, there is The Cowboy, The Ladies Man, or get all three with The Full Monty.  You can check out Mustachifier.com to see the different styles and to order

Teehee, she cracks me up.  My little cutie. My boys got a laugh out of seeing her use it too.  I really like The Gentleman but I think The Cowboy is cute too.  Which one is your favorite?

 My oldest son just turned 11 yrs old.  He’s a big boy for his age and seems like he grows faster than I can keep up with him.  He’s in adult size clothes but he’s still a kids and he likes his funny shirts and his cartoon shirts. Fuzzy-Ink.com has a cute mustache dinosaur shirt on their site.  I showed it to my son and asked him if he would wear a shirt like that.  He said “Yes definitely”.

This shirt has a cartoonish T-rex with a mustache pushing an ice cream cart.  My son thought the whole idea was funny.  When we got it in the mail my son immediately took off the shirt he had on and put on the fuzzy-ink.com dinosaur mustache shirt.

He’s worn the shirt at least twice already since he got it. The T-shirt is light and feels very soft.  My son says it’s comfortable.  This shirt is available in adult sizes Small to XXL.  They also have other designs, women’s style shirts, hoodies, and more. We’ll definitely be keeping fuzzy-ink.com in mind for back to school shopping for him.

 My boys love it when I read to them, especially my 4 yr old.  He really gets into the stories some times.  With KD Novelties personalized children’s books he can actually get into the story.  KD Novelties has lots of different books that you can personalize for your child with a theme they’ll love. When I was looking at books for my 4 yr old I was excited to see that they had an NFL Superbowl book I could personalize for him.

In this book I could put my son’s name in it as the main character, choose to put him on his favorite team, add his favorite player to the story, add his friends, and choose who his favorite team would beat.  Well of course he chose to be on the Steelers with his fave player Troy Polamalou and beat the Ravens.  Which was fun because my husband’s a huge Ravens fan.  I told my husband about it and he said “You can tell that’s a fictional story” lol.  Also he was able to add up to 3 of his friends in the story.

The book even allows you to put a personal dedication in the beginning.  Here is what I chose to put in it for my son.

I chose that because he is a new big brother. It’s a new experience for him.  I’m always telling my older boys to remember to watch out for each other and help take care of their younger siblings.  The book had a cute story to it.  When I read it to my son, he would giggle when his name was mentioned.  Here is an example of just one of the pages in the book

These books are hard back and the pages are fairly thick so I’m thinking this book should last a good long time.  Maybe even be able to show his kids in the future (though I don’t want to think about that right now 🙁 )

KD Novelties website has so many book themes, you’re sure to find one that can be made just for your little one. Books around sports themes, christian themed books, a birthday book, Sesame Street, holidays, and lots more.  You should check them out.

Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions is certified organic oil that can be used for so many things.  I’ve been using coconut oil for a few years, more specifically Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut oil and I use it now in place of many other oils.

Even though I’ve been using it for a few years, I just discovered a new use for it over the past week.  The discovery came from necessity.  I was getting ready to bake my youngest son’s birthday cake.  I was getting ready to grease and flour the cake pan when I realized I forgot to get shortening while at the grocery store.  I knew a non-stick spray just wouldn’t do the same job and I thought, great now what should I do?  Then I saw my jar of Gold Label Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil sitting by my stove and thought, “you know, that coconut oil is a similar consistency to the consistency of shortening.  I bet that would work” so I greased my pan with the coconut oil and added the flour and it seemed to work great.  The real test was going to be when I was ready to take it out of the cake pan but it worked beautifully.  I’m thinking, this is healthier than shortening too so I’ll use coconut oil to grease and flour my pans all the time now.

See the cake turned out just fine.

I also love using coconut oil for frying for recipes like chicken stir fry and frying pork chops.  The coconut oil gives a subtle flavor that really adds to the food.  This is just a couple idea but there are really 100s of ideas on the Tropical Traditions website.

Below is a video from Tropical Traditions that describes how Tropical Traditions started and how and why they make their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.

If you are on Pinterest, Tropical Traditions also has tons of ideas there: http://pinterest.com/troptraditions/

Tropical Traditions has lot of great organic products including eggs, meats, household cleaners, and much more.  I’ve had the pleasure of trying a few of Tropical Traditions products in the past aside from the coconut oil and I have not been disappointed yet with any of their products.

 My youngest son is 3 yrs old but will be 4 by next week.  I know that this is a great time for learning and to prepare for school.  He has his colors down, we’re counting, he knows his shapes, and things but the alphabet is still giving him some trouble.   I had the chance to review some Alphabet Flashcards from Educational Toy Planet so I incorporated this into his alphabet training.
