Ravel Tales is a new toy that you unwind. As you unwind the yarn, you will find lots of different craft projects and a cute little plushie too. There are 12 different plushies to collect inside.<br />

<br />
This was the plushie she got inside the ball of yarn.<br />
<br />
You can make this plushie a little bed. Sew it with the yarn given and stuff it too.<br />
<br />
I think this is such a cute and creative toy for kids.<br />
<br />
This will be available in stores very soon this month.<br />
<br />
Do your kids like doing crafts?<br />

During this crazy time of being inside during the Coronavirus, we have been cooking more.<div>
I have been trying to make new recipes and try out new things.</div>
<div>
My favorite hobby is crochet, so I usually do that. I don't mind baking or trying new treats.</div>
<div>
I think we all like the crepes. You can add butter or powdered sugar. Add fruits or Nutella.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What have you been doing to stay busy? Does your state have a stay at home order.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are in the state of New York. So right now we have no school until April 15th. This should be very interesting. Teachers are amazing, they can get my kids to do work. </div>
<div>

Have you been getting stir crazy?</div>

Do you have favorite food recipes?</div>

<br />
Our local mall has a new LEGO store. We are all excited. I think LEGO is the one thing we all equally enjoy. Yes, even us adults are fans.<br />
<br />
I really like the wall of LEGO where you can fill a container of the pieces you want.<br />
<br />
They have so many new fun sets available. My son likes Ninjago sets and also the classic sets.<br />
<br />
My girls love Frozen and anything Disney. The Friends sets are great too.<br />
<br />
We also like the LEGO mini figures that come in blind bags.<br />
<br />
I recently have been watching the LEGO Masters tv show. I know it is a reality tv show but it is still fun to watch.<br />
<br />
Do you like LEGO?

Zoku Neat Stack Nesting Container Set contains 11 Pieces. It includes a freezer pack which will attach to any size container. I love the color bands and that there are 3 different sizes.<br />
<br />
These containers are leakproof and super secure. I think they are one of the best containers to keep your leftovers in. You can also pack these in any to go lunch boxes. The smaller size is good for maybe a child's lunch box.<br />

The reusable Zoku Pocket Straw is great for on the go life. You can take it with you anywhere.<br />
It comes with a case, brush, and straw. It extends up to 9 inches.<br />
Many bars and restaurants are getting rid of plastic straws. Some places use paper straws and other places do no give out straws anymore. I personally like a straw at a restaurant. There is nothing wrong with bringing your own.<br />
<br />
Maybe you have small children who are still used to straws, this is a great green way to be.<br />
Reducing waste by using reusable materials and tools is helpful for the environment.<br />
<br />
You can win one of these straws. Follow the giveaway widget.<br />

Masters by Adagioteas is fresh, loose tea that you can enjoy in your home. They come in resealable pouches. They offer a large range of fresh tea. They have white, green, oolong, and more. <div>

I have always been a green tea fan. I do like to try all kinds of teas as well.</div>

<br />
Here is an example of what the loose tea looks like up close.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed trying the tea and liked them very much. You get such a nice flavor when you use loose leaf tea.<br />
<br />
Head over to <a href="https://www.mastersteas.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Masters Teas</a> website to see all that they have to offer.<br />
<br />
They also show you the farmers and regions where the tea comes from. I think it is pretty cool to see where the tea is from.<br />
<br />
I learned that if you let your tea sit too long it can become bitter or too strong tasting. You should use about 1 teaspoon per cup. You can taste it as you try them out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you a tea drinker? What tea is your favorite?<br />

I remember when my kids were in kindergarten. It was exciting for them but scary at the same time. And it was hard to be in class that many hours. Pre school was only a couple of hours a day. So the transition was a little tough. My youngest isn't in school yet. She loves to look at the pictures in the books.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">When Alice Tapper noticed that the girls in her class weren't participating as much as the boys, she knew she had to do something about it. With help from her Girl Scout troop and her parents, she came up with a patch that other girls could earn if they took a pledge to be more confident in school. Alice even wrote an op-ed about the experience for the <i>New York Times</i>! Inspired by that piece, this picture book illustrates her determination, bravery, and unwillingness to accept the status quo. With Marta Kissi's delightful illustrations depicting Alice's story, young readers everywhere will want to follow Alice's lead and raise their hand!</span><u></u><u></u></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Change and transitions are hard, but <i>Goodbye, Friend! Hello, Friend! </i>demonstrates how, when one experience ends, it opens the door for another to begin. It follows two best friends as they say goodbye to snowmen, and hello to stomping in puddles. They say goodbye to long walks, butterflies, and the sun...and hello to long evening talks, fireflies, and the stars. But the hardest goodbye of all comes when one of the friends has to move away. Feeling alone isn't easy, and sometimes new beginnings take time. But even the hardest days come to an end, and you never know what tomorrow will bring.</span><u></u><u></u></div>
