Reef Indy Learns to Swim

Getting Ready for Summer

Reef Indy, who is almost 19 months old, started swim lessons today. Jeff and Monica Noonan founded Noonan Family Swim School, Inc. in January of 2004. They seek to provide the BEST swimming and learning experience possible.




Reef was very reluctant at first. However, the half hour went quickly and Reef spent the last half of the class becoming more comfortable. He was able to relax and participate in the activities. Good Job Reef!  Good Job Mom!

Professional Pastry Blender Review

Oma had never used a pastry blender before. So I really did not know what to use it for. I learned that they are great for baking and quickly cuts butter into dry ingredients.

However, did you know that you can also use your Professional Pastry Blender to mash up some potatoes; use on your ripe avocados for a delicious guacamole; and crush a few bananas for banana bread? Just toss it on the top rack of your dishwasher for easy clean up. 

Here are 5 Reasons You Are Going to LOVE Your Professional Dough Blender:

1. This 100% stainless steel dough maker was meticulously designed to serve you for years and decades to come.
2. Combine wet and dry ingredients seamlessly to make your favorite pie or cookie like a boss.
3. Hold it in your hand and note the thickness of the handle and how comfortably your fingers wrap around it.
4. It is not like a dough cutter with flexible wires. Please avoid that hassle and you will make your life so much easier.
5. Backed by a LIFETIME Guarantee! (Order yours now because you literally RISK NOTHING!)

Comes with a bonus eBook – The FREE eBook Home Chef is a 70-page kitchen management book that reveals how to create your ideal kitchen, great tips for you to start that dream Chef career and much more. Get it sent to your email FREE just for ordering the Professional Dough Blender.

Ice Ball Tray Review #iceballtray

This is a fun product. It takes a little finagling to fill properly. However the ice balls are easy to remove and add entertainment to your party. Although the Silicone Four Ball Ice Tray only makes four at a time, you can simply run multiple freeze cycles storing the ice balls in the freezer until needed.

How does this work?

Here's a quick step by step:

• Place the mold in sink and fill mold with distilled water to the top rim. Tap water is not recommended as it could leave mineral particles and can create cloudy ice balls.
• Press down on the top mold and release any excess water between the top and bottom molds.
• Place mold on a flat surface in the freezer.
• Once frozen, remove the top mold and place on the counter upside down.
• Flip the bottom mold over the top mold and separate the edges until the ice releases into the top mold slots. Note: The mold should separate from the ice very easily.

This would make a fine gift or just for you to enjoy.

Why four filter screens?

The most famous Baristas say that you can use the French Press with only one filter screen but if you want to be 300% sure that your coffee/tea will be pure, with no grounds and full of rich flavors, you can choose to use 2, 3 or 4 filters.
