Bing Note
Building Self-Esteem, One Child At A Time


If you have children then you know how important self-esteem is for a child. I was sent the cutest book called That's Bingzy! Which is a sing with me book and cd. And also a That's Bingzy! Discuss and Do Activity book. Binzy is a positive thinker. This is an excerpt from the That's Bingzy book.

I Am Strong
I draw my strength from deep inside.
In storms, I never let it hide.
I use my brain and think things through.
I lead, not follow what others do.


Pictured above is the Activities book. It has 48 motivating activities that are based on real situation. The Bing Note products were developed by school teachers with years of experience. Bing Note also has great lunch box notes. My daughter loves it when I put a little note card in her lunch box.Please check out the website of Bing Note for more information and fun downloads. You will also find Bing Note on Facebook and Twitter. I'm sure your child would love to get to know Bingzy better.

My 6 year old gave Bingzy 2 thumbs up!
Bingzy is Child Loved and Approved!

Photo Night Light
Light up your memories


I'm kind of a photo junkie. I love capturing moments and finding fun ways to display them. Photo Night Light is a new product that features your captured memories in a sturdy night light form.

Photo Night Light takes your cherished photos and creates a unique and personalized night light. Photo Night Light allows you to choose the color of solid oak frame to match any picture or any decor. There are 15 colors to choose from so finding the perfect match is easy. Photo Night Light is not only perfect for a bedroom but any room of the house. Photo Night Light was designed and created by a professional photographer. Care is taken with every photo used in the Photo Night Light to ensure that the quality and color remain when converting the image to a transparency. The high quality oak frame is cut and stained and glued together to ensure a perfect fit. Photo Night Light is made in the USA.

I received my personalized Photo Night Light (see the picture below). It is so sturdy and very well made. The picture quality is awesome and it looks amazing when turned on. I have my Photo Night Light displayed in my kitchen. I don't have any photos in my kitchen so it's nice to be able to display a cute picture of my kids. The sturdy design and attention to detail is incredible. I will enjoy looking at my Photo Night Light for many years to come. I would recommend Photo Night Light to anyone!

Photo Night Light is easy to create...simply upload a jpeg photo or mail in a negative, slide, or actual photograph, decide if you want any written personalization and then choose the color frame you would like. It's quick and easy and the results are amazing. Photo Night Light measures 3.5 by 4.5 inches and retails for $34.95. Photo Night Light would make the perfect gift for anyone on your list.

Shutter Buddy
Your Baby Snapshot Sidekick


Have you ever tried capturing the attention of a small infant or child while taking a picture? It can be frustrating for the photographer to capture those moments when the child will not look at the camera. Shutter Buddy has a solution for you.

Shutter Buddy is "a revolutionary new product that uses the science of infant vision development and pattern recognition to capture and hold a baby’s attention so that you can get a great picture – easily and every time." Shutter Buddy attaches to almost any camera quickly and easily. Shutter Buddy has a black and white pattern that will grab the child's attention. Shutter Buddy folds up and can easily be put in a camera bag for use whenever it is needed.


Attaching Shutter Buddy to my point and shoot camera was simple and easy. I just placed it on the front of the camera and adjusted the straps and the velcro. Both of my kids (ages 4 and 2) were very interested in my "new camera" and it was easy to snap pictures of them looking at the camera without prodding and pleading to "look at Mommy." I was even able to attach it to my digital SLR camera by attaching it around my speedlight and hooking it to the view finder since my DSLR camera was too wide for the straps to connect to the velcro. Shutter Buddy will come in handy as I continue in my journey to photograph children and babies. I think Shutter Buddy is a great addition for anyone who loves taking pictures of kids. I can't wait to see the results when I use it on my new baby who is set to arrive in February. Shutter Buddy retails for $19.99.

for hot chocolate!! Baby, it's cold outside! There's no better time then ow to enjoy a hot mug of chocolatey goodness! My container of cocoa didn't have instructions for hot chocolate, so I went on an internet search and found this recipe. Then out of necessity (I was running low on milk), I adapted it and decided this was hands down the BEST hot chocolate I ever tasted. It's creamy, rich and DELISH! You should go make some now!



The Best Hot Chocolate EVER

2C milk

Whisk the dry ingredients in a saucepan to combine. Add the liquids and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the sugar and cocoa have dissolved and it's hot. Pour into mugs (should serve about 4) and enjoy!


Of course you can always add some marshmallows. For a special holiday treat use a candy cane as a stir stick!

Christmas Cupcake Toppers
I received some fabulous items from PBD including items for my son's 4th birthday party, Christmas cards and Christmas cupcake toppers. I was so impressed with the Cupcake Christmas Cards. Jessica added a cardstock backing and a touch of glitter to each card, so sweet! I couldn't wait to send them to friends and family.

I know the party tags and toppers will be a hit at my son's party. It's the extra details and touches that make parties so special for your guests.

Each item was handmade with care and the quality was outstanding.
