Ozeri Green Earth Textured Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan

100-Percent PTFE and PFOA Free

Cook and Eat Healthy on the Ozeri Ceramic Coated Frying Pan Set

Oma enjoys nonstick convenience and performance, but has steered away from Teflon cooking surfaces. The Ozeri 10-inch Green Earth Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan has really filled the void. It features an earth-friendly ceramic GREBLON coating that is crafted from all-natural materials, so it does not release any of the harmful toxins that you might be inadvertently exposing your family to with traditional nonstick cookware. Elevated texture creates air pockets which distribute heat underneath food to enhance cooking.

This state-of-the-art pan is made from premium hard-anodized aluminum for rugged durability and long service life. Its aluminum construction also allows this pan to provide super browning and even cooking power to give your culinary efforts a boost.

Features:

• Coating with ceramic that is derived from all-natural materials, so the pan does not release any harmful toxins, even when used for high-temperature cooking
•  Interior coating makes this pan scratch-resistant and nonstick for easy cleanup
• Silicone-coated handle is comfortable and resists heat for safe transfers from cooktop to counter
• Made from hard-anodized heavy-gauge aluminum for great performance and long service life

Oma was thrilled with this product as it full-filled each of its promises. The extra bonus to this pan is the ease with which it cleans up – just a quick rinse and a wipe and it is ready to store.

Reef Indy 9-Months-Old

At nine months, Reef Indy has become an expert crawler. He is also standing up with ease and attempting to take a few steps. It will not be too much longer before he starts walking.

Reef is also enjoying finger food.  He loves to feed himself and others too!
 

Reef Indy also prefers to be outside to play. He has no problem crawling on the concrete and loves to explore.

He has started to talk with 'Mom' and 'Dada' being his first words. Reef has no fear and really loves Oma's big dogs - I though I heard him say 'doggie' a couple of times today!

Reef Indy's First Pool Party

The solstice heralds the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. In 2014, the solstice falls on June 21 and is when the Sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator.

The warmer weather, swimming and kids just naturally go together well. However, it's important to take care to be safe while you're in or near the water. Please remember to maintain constant supervision and avoid distractions when supervising children around the pool.

Reef Indy really enjoyed his first pool party with friends and family.

The pureSOL Konjac sponge is completely natural and eco-friendly facial sponge free of parabens and chemicals. It's biodegradable, cruelty free & vegan. 

Oma loves using simple products that are pure and eco-friendly. However, those products must also do as it claims. The pureSOL Konjac sponge lives up to that standard.

Oma has enjoyed adding this little sponge to her facial care regime.

BRIGHTER LOOKING SKIN: The natural woven fibers of the sponge gently massage the skin and stimulate blood flow. It detoxifies and encourages skin renewal while balancing the skins pH, leaving your skin extremely clean and refreshed!

PREVENTS SPOTS, BLACKHEADS AND BREAKOUTS: The added BAMBOO CHARCOAL contains activated carbon and essential minerals to deeply cleanse and absorb excess sebum, toxins and other harmful chemicals from your skin. You will see your pores getting smaller, tightening and brightening your skin.

100% NATURAL AND ECO-FRIENDLY: Why compromise your health with products that contain harsh chemicals and additives on your skin? pureSOL Konjac Sponge is completely natural, eco-friendly and free of parabens, sulphates & chemicals. It is biodegrade, cruelty free and vegan. After use, you can compost the sponge and feel good about the environment! You can even add it to your flower pot!

Remember to wash your towel in cold water and with similar colors; then tumble dry on low. Oma is keeping her Shandali UltraSport Travel in her car!  With an active new grandson, it is useful having a drying towel on hand.

KidCoder: Beginning Web Design Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

IGNITE A LIFELONG PASSION IN YOUR STUDENT!

 

The KidCoder Web Design courses are designed for 4th-12th grade students looking for a step-by-step introduction to designing their own web sites. HTML is the foundation of the World Wide Web. It's important for students interested in web design to begin with a solid grounding in good HTML techniques.

Some of the topics in this book include web site layout, HTML symbols, text styling, using hyperlinks, navigation bars, simple CSS effects, spacing and positioning, graphics and image editing, tables and more.

Students don't need prior programming or HTML experience. The KidCoder Web Design courses build all web design skills from the ground up.

Oma is not a homeschooler, but with a new grandson, am always on the look for new experiences that will stimulate him in increase his intellectual growth. Oma is really enjoying the "KidCoder: Beginning Web Design" course. The self-study curriculum is well organized and very easy to navigate. Although, Oma has not completed the course yet, it has already taught a lot about the art of web design. Oma cannot wait share this material with Reef Indy.
