These Silicone Baby Food Freezer Tray with Clip on Lid is perfect for making your own baby food. Just whip up your favorite recipes, grind them in the blender to the exact texture that your baby prefers and pop them in the freezer. You can use them right from the tray, or you can wait until they are frozen, pop the food out and into another container, then use these to freeze individual portions. No more worrying about just what is in commercial baby food. With these you know exactly what you are getting. You control the texture and the ingredients. My babies always like their food just barely blended. They did not like a super smooth texture at all.

These aren't just for baby food though. You can use them to freeze your favorite sauces, fruit for your morning smoothy or chicken or veggie stock. You can also use them as ice cube or chocolate molds. Silicone is so versatile, you can use it in the oven or the freezer.

The clip on lid is so handy. I can't tell you how many times I have spilled on the way to the freezer. These lids also keep nasty smells and other things in your freezer out of your baby's food.

This Silicone Baby Food Freezer Tray is perfect for making your baby's food from scratch. It is also very useful for anything that you need to store in small sections in your freezer. Although I received a discount, this is my honest opinion.

Toddler Pillow - Delicate Organic Cotton

While my 5-year-old is a little big for this pillow, he still constantly steals it from our younger sons's bed and insists on using it just about everywhere - naps, lounging on the couch, car rides, you name it. If there's a spot that looks comfy, she's there with pillow in hand. It's made for a great travel pillow, and though she uses a full-sized pillow for sleeping at night, she likes to curl up with this one under her arm while she slumbers.

This pillow is pretty much half the size of a standard pillow. Lay two of these vertically side-by-side, and it takes up the same amount of room as most of our pillows from Kohl's. Though this pillow is sold without a pillowcase (and frankly, it's perfectly soft enough to use without one), you can slide it sideways into a standard pillowcase, tuck the excess pillowcase fabric back down inside with the pillow, and you'll have a perfect fit.

When I gave this to my son and asked him what he thought, he gave it her ultimate compliment: "Daddy, it's so comfy! ... I'm gonna take off my pants." Nothing says "ultimate comfort" like the need to immediately de-pants and snuggle up along with your favorite blanket.

Very pleased and highly recommended! When my 3-year-old can wrangle this from the older son's grasp, he absolutely loves it, too.

Ice Ball Maker & Sphere Ice Mold: By Bar Brat

I was given the opportunity to review Ice Ball Maker & Sphere Ice Mold. I received this product at a discount for my review and hope my observations can help you make a buying decision.

What you get:

Ice ball / Sphere Ice Mold Tray
Instructions on box

What is this supposed to do?:

Create Slow Melting Ice Spheres for cocktails, coffee, water, or really any beverage. Freeze anything including ice, jelly, chocolate or even soap.

How does it work?

I own several products by Bar Brat, so I went in assuming this one would be the same – and it is! What a super cool idea and perfect for a gift, especially those that like cocktails.

The concept is quite simple. Place just about any liquid in the tray, close it up and freeze it. I decided to try cranberry juice because I enjoy having a Seabreeze cocktail, especially when the weather starts heating up. First, I put my cranberry juice in the ice molds and popped them in the freezer in the morning. Around 4 in the afternoon, I mixed my grapefruit juice and vodka in the glass. Then I popped in one of my frozen cranberry balls. I have to say, this was smart because it was delicious! Instead of having to put ice in my drink, the cranberry ice ball melted slowly into it – keeping it light, fresh and it didn’t become watered down. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I love that you can freeze all different types of liquids and it say you can even do soap. I’m not a soap maker, but if you are, that would be pretty neat to do. I think the next thing I’m going to try is some chocolate and make chocolate martinis. We’ll see how that goes, but in the mean time, I’m really happy with freezing cranberry juice!

They come in a nice box so you could add the ice ball maker to a couple of high ball glasses, and some whiskey – Voila! you have a great gift. Thanks Bar Brat for another great product!
