Silicone bowls and a toy mixer...just what I'd been looking for!

A while back I posted about CSN stores. The nice people there at CSN gave me a gift certificate to use in their stores. They have everything you could imagine from home office desks to kitchen gadgets. It was hard to choose!

I've been wanting some small silicone bowls. As you may know I'm now an independent consultant for Homemade Gourmet. Each month I have a meal assembly party at my house where we get together and assembe meals for the freezer. These little bowls are just perfect for that. I ordered 3 sets! (And they arrived just in time for the party!) I used them this weekend at the meal assembly for honey, chopped onions and brown sugar. They worked perfectly! I have a feeling I will be using these a lot. :)



My daughter had a toy stand mixer that I got for her several years ago. It was one of her favorite toys. Unfortunatly, I broke the bowl to it when I was moving her kitchen set one day. She was very sad and I told her I'd get her a new one. Well, that happened on New Years so the toy aisles were very picked over and I hadn't been able to find one...ANYWHERE! But I found one in the CSN stores! I didn't tell her I ordered it. I just gave it to her when it came in. She was so excited!!

The shipping on it was very quick and its a great quality toy. She is really enjoying it.

Thanks, CSN!!

CSN stores

I love CSN stores! They have so much great stuff! They've got everything you need from
home office desks to lamps to towels and cookware. All on one convenient site.

The nice folks at CSN are giving me a chance to review one of their products. Hmmmm....which one should I choose??? What would you choose from CSN?

I'll be sharing what I chose soon so stay tuned! :)

CSN Review

A while back CSN asked me to review a product and generously gave me a gift code for anything I wanted from their massive stores. I had such a hard time deciding what to get that I let my husband pick. I know, very nice of me, right? Well, as you my know, we have a new house, and we need lots of things!

The previous owners left us lots of firewood, but it was just piled on the ground where it could get wet.

My husband really wanted to get it off the ground so we ordered a log rack. Now our firewood looks like this....

Much better, right?

Now for my review of the product... It shipped very quickly (with free shipping, too.) It was easy to put together. As a matter of fact, my 12 year old son was the one who actually put it together. He had no problems. It was lightweight and easy for him to move and carry. It is not the most heavy duty of log racks so if you live in the mountains of Montana or something and have tons of firewood you might need something a little sturdier. We, however, live in a city in Texas and this works just great for us! It would work great in the backyards in most neighborhoods I think.

So, thanks to CSN stores for the wonderful wood rack. You made my husband very happy!

CSN Stores Review

Awhile back the nice folks at CSN stores gave me a gift certificate to give away on my blog. Now, they have been nice enough to ask me to review a product of my choice. Wow! They have soooo much to choose from. I just can't decide. They have everything from children's backpacks to bedroom furniture.


I have a new house so there are all kinds of things I need/want.



I could be a nice mom/teacher and get my son a graphing calcultor for algebra next year.

Or I could get a nice butter dish. I've been needing one of these. Now that we have a bigger house I plan to entertain more.

Or instead of the butter dish I could get the butter crock. I have a butter churn and we like to churn our own butter. This would be a nice way to serve it.

Or I could get a fun, new toy for my cat. :)

Or some vaccuum storage bags for that extra bedding.

Or a chiminea for the patio.

Or many other things. I just can't decide!

What would you get?

I'll be posting my review of the product I finally decide on after I get it.

Now, off to shop!
