The Magical Mindful Day - Children's Book Review

The Magical Mindful Day 

by: Deborah Slazar Shapiro

It is a story about hope for the future on this Earth that you and your child will enjoy together. In the book, The Magical Mindful Day, brings awareness to the world around us. As the subtitle states, it is a story about Mindfulness, Connection, and Caring for the Earth. My son and I read this together and it is so engaging especially with the illustrations on each page.

To be mindful you have to first understand what it means to be mindful and paying attention to what is going on around us. The book talks about recycling, choosing outdoor play over electronics, the element of breathing and taking in Oxygen and so much more that connects us to all living things.

You can visit their website to hear a relative song and more about the book and Author.

New Sand Toys from Playmobil – Review

Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Playmobil for this feature

Playmobil wants to help get your sandbox summer ready! If you want to spend some times outside at the beach or in your garden, the kids need to be entertained and these new Playmobil sand toys will do the trick! Place the Playmobil Dump Truck and Playmobil Excavator in sand or dirt and your child can have ‘loads’ of fun time (pardon the pun).

The dump truck comes with detachable pieces for added fun. The bed as well as the two ramps and sieve can be detached and can played with individually. Use the ramps for the truck ramp or build a bridge, etc.. the creativity is endless. You can fit 2 Playmobil 1.2.3. figures in the cab.

With the Playmobil Excavator’s bucket as well as the flag and cage can be detached and also used individually to play in the sand. Us the bucket as a shovel to dig or build with. There is space in the cage for a 1.2.3 figure.

I love the bright colors and sturdy design. Both are great for outdoor and indoor play! Both retail about $24.99 each.

Visit Playmobil for more summer fun toys!

Get Massage Therapy at Home With The NEW Sunbeam Heated Massager

Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Sunbeam for this feature. All opinions are my own

I have had my share of lower back pain and nothing ruins your day or a nights sleep like the aching of a back. My Dad suffers tremendously and is thanfully, a candidate now for laser surgery to help resolve some lower spine issues but it has gotten so bad he has resorted to a cane for assistance. There is no magic cure-all for back pain. However, you can find relieve with massage and even heat treatments. If you cannot get medical coverage for massages then it adds up! Even if you do have coverage they only allow so many visits and then you also have to find one that accepts you plan.

With Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage there is a next best option. Not only do you get the benefit of shiatsu massage motion but you get fantastic heat coverage and it is clinically proven to relieve pain. The degree of relief may vary depending on the person and issues, but it will be relief of a sort no doubt.

Now that there is massage and heat therapy you can do at home, you only have 2 hands so how will this work? That is easy! There is a waist strap so it stays in place! Here are all of the features of the Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage

  • 3 heat settings (low to high)
  • 4 Shiatsu Massaging Nodes
  • Hands-free use, stays in place with waist strap
  • Fits up to 54-inch waist (sizes women’s small through men’s XXL)
  • Convenient, long cord – 12 ft.
  • Pocket for easy cord storage
  • 2-hour heat auto-off
  • 20-minute massage auto-off

How much is a massage visit? It is pricey! This runs you $89.99! that’s it. Buy it once and use it as often as you need! With Father’s Day and Mother’s Day approaching I can’t think of a better gift for a parent suffering with lower back pain. Can you? How does it fit and feel? I LOVE it. I am so anxious for my dad to give this a try. The remote works great and you get instant massage and heat is fast! There is a clear difference in hat levels so if you need it high, you get that safe high heat delivered on the spot. The worst part about it is turning it off. Sometimes I wear it for heat only, sometimes for massage only. I get that choice!  You ca find the Sunbeam Heated Back Wrap with Shiatsu Massage on the Sunbeam website or on Amazon too.
