Coobie Seamless Bra Review and Coobie Bra Giveaway


US Family Guide provided me with this opportunity and I received this product free from The Coobie Store to facilitate this review.

Coobie Seamless Bras are really the most comfortable and supportive bras I have ever tried. I received a Coobie V-neck Lace Trim Bra in Red Velvet. I am so glad I got to try these bras because I absolutely love them! I am definitely going to buy more. They have sold me on their products. I was skeptical at first about how a one size that comfortably fits sizes 32A to 36D would actually fit me. I am very petite. These bras fit me really well with no sagging or bunching in weird places. I have tried both scoopneck and v-neck with lace trim styles, but my favorite is the lacy one because I love the lovely feminine touch.

These are also very flattering, form fitting, and affordable. Great for maternity, nursing and beyond as the soft, high quality nylon/spandex outer fabric gently stretches, breathes well and isn't at all see through. You can easily breastfeed in these because you can unhook the strap and pull the bra down. Also great for everyday wear, sleep wear, workout wear, yoga, and Pilates. Available in both neutrals, fun colors, and patterns (7+ styles and 50+ fashion colors and patterns)! The back is smooth and seamless with no hooks or clasps. Each bra has removable pads and the straps are adjustable. You can even call them for extra pads or straps. These bras are also available in a full size version fitting up to a size 42D.

SmitCo LLC Light Up #Unicorn #Diary & Secret Invisible Ink Pen Set Review #Girls #Tweens #Journal


I received this free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

SmitCo LLC has several different diaries with lock and keys and other diary sets in fun themes, Scrapbook sets, several different nail art sets to provide hours of fun, 3 unique princess dress up sets, and jewelry and jewelry sets in: rose gold, gold or rhodium plated, as well as very popular beaded  stretch sets for little girls. These are all affordable gifts for girls ages 2 to 12. Great for birthday or Christmas gifts.


The Light-Up Unicorn Journal has a rainbow colored unicorn on the cover with the words "be magical!". The cover also has small twinkling LED lights that light-up and change color when the front is pressed in a certain spot. This diary comes with a pen that writes in invisible ink so that the messages can be kept secret inside. It also has an attached pink satin ribbon with a sparkly book marker connected to the top so that the page can be saved. The pen also has a switch on it that turns on a blue light on the end to show what was written with the invisible ink. This journal is 8.5 x 5.5 x 1 inch with 80 double sided lined pages. Batteries are included. Takes 3 alkaline batteries in the pen and 1 lithium metal battery in the light up book. Recommended for ages 6 and up.

Features of the Unicorn Journal:
  • The picture on the cover lights up with LED lights to enhance the image
  • It comes packaged in a sturdy box to protect it during shipping​​
  • The "Unicorn" theme of the journal is very popular with young girls
  • The diary has a pink satin ribbon page marker so that the owner can know where she last recorded her secrets​
  • The diary set includes an invisible ink pen with a blue light on the other end which will show what she's written
  • The diary has 80 double sided lined pages which should take her a while to fill up with her notes
  • It has a hard cover to protect the notebook for years to come

Dual Purpose Pen: 
  • One side has an invisible ink pen
  • The other side has a tiny blue light with alkaline batteries to show what has been written

Zari trying out the invisible ink pen.


Our Thoughts:
This special journal is not your average everyday diary. It has some really neat features. My daughter Zari really loved the twinkling lights and majestic unicorn on the cover. She also loved that it came with a pen with ink she could write with inside it and others wouldn't see what she wrote because it was invisible unless under a black light or the light of the pen itself. We did find that the pen's light is fairly faint because we could hardly make out what was written with it on the pages. You can use a regular pen, but that kind of defeats the purpose of  Also I do want to say that if you take the PUSH sticker off of the product you need to remember where it was so that you can press the correct area so that the lights illuminate and press firmly there to activate.

Here is a video I made of the key features...


This will keep Zari busy putting her thoughts and doodles down on paper. She can't wait to personalize it and make it her very own. I hope this will be something she looks back to fondly when she is older.

The Light-Up Unicorn Diary is perfect gift for girls ages 6 and up. I highly recommend journaling as an activity to keep ones thoughts, creative expressions, doodling, sketches, stickers, daily events, notes, dreams, secrets, writing, coloring, poems, drawings, devotionals, prayers, etc. This journal is perfect for keeping the written portion of it safe from prying eyes of siblings, friends and even Mom and Dad!

One Christmas Bear Book & Giveaway


I received this book free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

One Christmas Bear is an adorable counting board book that features a sweet polar bear and his friends as they have winter fun during the Christmas holiday. The text is in a nice rhyming prose and counts up, from 1 to 10. These arctic animals are cute and beautifully illustrated by Anne Vittur Kennedy who is also the author. The cover is sparkly and shiny.

Zari enjoying One Christmas Bear.

What We Thought:
We loved this sweet book and its darling illustrations. The book is great to read to little ones at bedtime since the end winds down with the animals heading back to their homes and being sleepy. Since it is a board book it has nice durable pages and cover. The cover is also glittery around the bear and his scarf has shiny foil in it. The rhyming text that counts from 1 to 10 is great for younger children who need to learn to count. The setting is wonderful with snowy wintry scenes of making snow angels, decorating a Christmas tree, eating gingerbread cookies and candy canes, throwing snowballs, sledding, ice skating, etc. I love that the theme of this book is counting God's wonderful gifts. I highly recommend this book for little ones! It is the perfect gift for the Christmas season.

BUY IT
Purchase One Christmas Bear for $8.08 on Amazon at the time of this posting. You can also purchase from Thomas Nelson for $8.99.

Sound for Life LTD Forbrain Review


My family had the privilege of trying the Forbrain from Sound for Life LTD for this review to use in conjunction with our own homeschool curriculum. This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.

Sound for Life LTD is a Hong Kong based company that specializes in the development of effective products to support cognitive abilities and skills. They have researched cognitive science and neuropsychology research from around the world. After doing so they collaborated with Aftershokz LLC, a world leader in bone conduction technology to create Forbrain.

Forbrain is a headset device that is designed to help people with attention difficulties, speech and language issues, or poor memory. It uses bone conduction, dynamic filter, and auditory feedback loop to increase memory, concentration, attention, and focus helping correct the way the user hears their own voice to improve speech, motivation, and confidence. If used properly about 15 minutes once or twice a day for at least 6 weeks, benefits can be attained. Recommended for children at least 4 years of age to adult.

Forbrain comes with everything you see here.

What Forbrain Includes:
  • Forbrain Headset
  • USB to micro USB Charging Cable
  • Forbrain Brochure with suggested exercises
  • Users Manual
  • 3 Extra Microphone Covers
  • Zippered Case to place everything in

Forbrain needs to be charged for three hours before first use. It charges with a USB to micro USB charging cable. The micro USB socket can be found on the Dynamic Filter along with the on/off button and volume button. The LED light is also located on the Dynamic Filter and shows: a solid blue when on and working, no blue light when power is off or when battery is too low, solid red when headphone is being charged, and no red light when charging is complete. The battery life is more than 6 hours while in operation. Volume is set by default already for optimal use.

Forbrain fits neatly into a convenient case to take with you on-the-go.

Forbrain Features:
  • High Quality Microphone
  • Bone Conduction Transducers
  • Dynamic Filter
  • LED Light
  • ON/OFF Button
  • Volume +/-
  • USB socket


Here I am using the Forbrain headset while I am at my computer desk.

How We Used This and Our Thoughts:
We received Forbrain to try out and test in our home setting. I decided to try it out myself first. I wanted to enhance my memory, focus, concentration, ability to stay on task, and brain function. I have been using it once a day for about 20 minutes. I have been pleasantly surprised by this bone conduction headset even though I have only been using it for less than the 6 weeks because our review period for this product wasn't quite long enough.

Forbrain is very comfortable to wear and portable. The headset band rests over the ears and around the back of the head above the neck. The bone conduction transducers rest on the temporal bones (bones in front of the ears) on each side of the head. This does not rest in the ear or on top of the ear at all like headphones do. The microphone is worn about 3 cm from the mouth, slightly to the right. You can walk around the house while wearing it if you like because there are no cords tethering it to anything.

When using Forbrain you need to read text, lyrics, poetry, etc. aloud for appropriate brain stimulation. I loved to use this as I was doing scripture study and reading a book or story to myself or my children. I also found that it was wonderful to use while singing aloud so that I could hear myself and auto-correct any pitch and tone issues or out of tune problems. It was like I was my own auto-tune device.

There were a lot of bonuses I found while using Forbrain. I love that it filters out background noise that causes distraction and lets you focus on what you are trying to accomplish better. I found I was getting a lot more done, remembering things better, and speaking a lot more eloquently.

We had one issue with the headset. The headset band isn't adjustable, so larger heads or heads with big hair are not able to be accommodated. My son Delbin tried it out for a bit and it didn't really fit him because he has some wild curly hair. I could see this as a big problem if my husband wanted to try it for this reason too. I know this is usually used for smaller kids, but those that do want to use it that are older I believe should be able to wear this comfortably as well.

I can not wait to use Forbrain more and see what else it can help me with. After I am done using it I want to try it with: my husband who has Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Tourettes, my mother who has vocal chord dysfunction, and my youngest daughter to help with her speech and auditory processing issues. I highly recommend this for anyone with speech and language difficulties, auditory processing disorder, sensory integration disorder, reading difficulties, ADD, ADHD, memory issues, and vocal cord dysfunction.

What I Thought:
I love this musical Bible study. It is so distinctive and special. Scott and Ginger Tabot did a wonderful job creating this study and musical treasure. Gingers original songs are beautiful. My favorite song on the album is Masterpiece. The Bible study takes you down a path of life giving truths. There are sections in the Bible study book that include things like: Take a Selfie, Reach Up, Reach Out, and Sound Waves. I loved how it gave you these immersive activities to act on the things you've read in the book so you won't forget it. I would highly recommend this to anyone that loves Christian music and wants to feed their soul.

Innovators Tribe Thinking Like an Engineer Course Review


My family had the privilege of trying the Thinking Like an Engineer Course from Innovators Tribe for this review to use in conjunction with our own homeschool curriculum. This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.


Innovators Tribe provides teachers and homeschoolers curriculum that teaches innovation, creativity, and discovery. Currently Innovators Tribe has these courses: Thinking Like an Engineer and Thinking Like an Architect. These two courses include 3D design software. Thinking Like a Carpenter is another course that will be coming soon. These courses are packed with interactive lessons and multimedia and hands-on activities. They have great instructors teaching them that are well versed in what they are teaching and deliver the course in a engaging and enjoyable way. These courses are not live, but pre-recorded and fully online. Each course is approximately 30 hours long (including activities) and can be done at the students own pace. They cover topics such as: engineering, nano-technology, architecture, innovation, 3D design, future technologies, robotics, bridge building, construction, manufacturing, and much more. These courses give online exercise in applied math, science, innovation, design, and construction. These can be used as a part of a science course for one school year quarter or an elective course for 1/4 credit towards high school per course. These courses are recommended for grades 6-12 and would be perfect for those students who like to design, build, and/or create. A single subscription can be used for an entire household.

Thinking Like an Engineer is one of the courses that is offered by Innovators Tribe. This course is taught by Mr. Kroeplin (Mr. K), an award winning certified Technology and Engineering instructor. In this course the student will learn: what an engineer is and does, the many different types of engineers, some of the math and science used by engineers, some of the problems engineers are trying to solve, the worlds greatest engineering challenges, about a particular man that solved an engineering problem 300 years ago, how to think like an engineer (innovator). In this course the student will utilize 3D CAD software that is included to design and build a: roller coaster, bridge, and Rube Goldberg machine. Challenge activities include designing and building: towers, structures, water filters, etc. Comes with a free mini course called Thinking Like an Innovator which goes into how to brainstorm, use innovative thinking, solve problems, have more ideas, etc.

How to Get to the Course and What you can do in the Course Dashboard:
  1. Go to the Innovators Tribe website
  2. Click on the Student Login link in the upper right hand corner
  3. Login with your user name and password
  4. Click on resume course in your Student Dashboard
  5. Once in your Student Dashboard you can view the teacher in the upper right hand corner, advance slides with an arrow button, and get to resource documents. 


How We Used This and Our Thoughts:
We received a 2-year subscription to the Thinking Like an Engineer course from Innovators Tribe. As a homeschooling family we love anything that has to do with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). I chose this course because my husband is actually going to school right now to get his Bachelors in mechanical engineering technology with a minor in engineering management. He already has experience in the Navy on a fast attack nuclear-powered submarine. I wanted to have my oldest son, Delbin, take this course and see if he would be interested in becoming an engineer too and perhaps expand his career interest possibilities for the future. He is 17 years old and in 11th grade and already loves to build and create things. I sat in on the course as well because I too wanted to learn more about this field. We did this at our own pace and have enjoyed what we have learned so far.

After seeing the course syllabus and seeing how to maneuver in the Student Dashboard we started the course. First we downloaded and printed a Unit Journal so that Delbin could keep a log of what he was learning. Then we started into the Introduction to Engineering.

Delbin with his tower he built.

In lesson 1 they had a bunch of videos and slides that went into what engineering is. We also went to a link to a website that was all about female engineers. The first challenge was building a freestanding tower that was taller than 5 feet tall with only 4 sheets of printer paper and 1 foot of 1 inch masking tape. Delbin built one 5 feet and one inch.

Teela with her Weight Challenge project.

In lesson 2 they had a bunch of videos and slides that talked about types of engineers. There was a Activity Guide that we downloaded to do some internet research on what type of engineer we were interested in. I've always thought it would be cool to become an Environmental Engineer and Delbin now is thinking how fun it would be to become a Gaming Engineer because he loves to play video and computer games so much. There are so many types we hadn't even thought of! Then there was another challenge to create structure that could hold the most books up 1 inch off the flat surface with only using 1 piece of printer paper and 24 inches of 1 inch masking tape. Delbin's younger sister who is 9 wanted to do this one.

This course has been great so far. The activities were really fun and challenging. The videos and slides were engaging and entertaining. I do wish that I could after watching the video go back and re-watch it...we weren't able to do so. The unit journal tied everything together with questions about what was learned and helped recall the things in the videos, slides, and activities. We have really enjoyed everything it has to offer thus far and can't wait to dive into it even more. We especially are excited to use the 3D CAD software. We recommend this highly for homeschoolers in grade 6-12.

Innovators Tribe Thinking Like an Engineer Course is now on sale for $96 (regularly priced at $149).

The Pencil Grip, Inc. Kwik Stix Thin Stix Creativity Pack Review


My family had the privilege of trying the Thin Stix Creativity Pack from The Pencil Grip, Inc. for this review to use in conjunction with our own homeschool curriculum. This is a Homeschool Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.

Kwik Stix are from The Pencil Grip, Inc. They are solid tempera paint sticks that can be used without paint smocks, water, brushes, and drop cloths. These are simple to use, are mess free, and have no smell. You use them how you would a glue stick and they are about the same size too. Just uncap, twist up, and paint with it. Once you are done using that particular color twist down and recap. They are fast drying and the paint dries in about 90 seconds. The paint's texture and consistency is a cross between lipstick, oil pastels, and crayons. These work great on paper, poster board, cardboard, wood, canvas, and more! These are egg, peanut, & gluten free. These are AP Certified non-toxic and safe for little artists.

Kwik Stix Color Chart

The Thin Stix are a wonderful product from The Pencil Grip, Inc.! These come in a pack of 24 paint sticks: 12 Classic, 6 Metalix, and 6 Neons. These come in a rainbow of assorted classic colors including: white, yellow, orange, red, pink, light green, dark green, blue, indigo/dark blue, violet, brown, and black; metalix colors including: magenta, emerald green, sapphire blue, royal purple, gold and silver; neon colors including: pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The colors are bright, bold, vibrant, and vivid. The Metalix colors shimmer in the light and the Neons are a lot like highlighter colors. They are longer and thinner than the original Kwik Stix, for more control and finer detail.

Top and Right: Metalix, Bottom: Neons. Notice how the Metalix shimmer in sunlight.

How We Used This and Our Thoughts:
We received our first boxes of Kwik Stix 12pk of Classic Colors, Kwik Stix Neons 6 pk, and Kwik Stix Metalix 6 pk not too long ago. Now we have the Thin Stix 24pk of colors too. These are longer and thinner than the original so you get more precision with every stroke. Even though they are thinner they still have a blunt end. Like the originals the paint dries quickly for no mess kids art and there is little color bleeding into the next. Just don't leave the cap off too long or the Kwik Stix will dry out.

Teela and Zari's Artwork with the 24 pack.

These are also easy for little hands to operate. My daughters, Teela (9 years old) and Zari (7 years old), love them! They made some fun art with them and enjoyed using them too. I absolutely love that there is not any cleanup required! These are a wonderful addition to our kids' art supplies! I would highly recommend The Pencil Grip, Inc. Kwik Stix Thin Stix Creativity Pack for art projects, homeschool, extracurricular art, or just for fun!
