The company’s flagship product, the Original Learning Tower (which we LOVE - check out our Original Learning Tower review), was created when our founder’s daughter, Hanna, was 18 months old. Wanting to nurture Hanna's desire to "do it herself," our founder, Carol created The Learning Tower, an adjustable height kitchen platform, offering quality, safety, and flexibility.

Each side’s height is independently adjustable, allowing multiple children to collaborate and play at the same time. Four non-spill paint containers and a large bottom shelf will help your little artist keep all of his or her supplies organized and easily accessible for when inspiration strikes.

Designed to fit most cribs, toddler and twin beds, the SnoozyPod contains calming vibration, comforting sounds, and star and moon projection night light. The star and moon projection night light uses a soft amber LED bulb that will not interrupt baby’s circadian rhythm. In addition, SnoozyPod is Bluetooth enabled, so caretakers can activate the functions from anywhere in the home, without encouraging wakefulness by entering baby's room. The soothing sounds can be played for 30-minutes, or set to play all night long to help quiet household noises that may disrupt sleep. The SnoozyPod fits snugly under the mattress leaving a safe, flat, firm surface for your child to comfortably sleep. Undoubtedly their most popular and well-known product, the Halo® SleepSack® wearable blanket replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. In addition to sleeping safer, it helps babies sleep better, too. It's a warm cuddly blanket they can't kick off; ensuring baby sleeps soundly throughout the night.

How music shapes your life

I come from a very musical background.  Music is a huge part of my life.  When you watch a movie, the music helps determine the tome of the music,  The music gets faster when there are exciting parts and gets slower when there is sadder or highly emotional parts.  Two of the most iconic movies that shaped my life, did  so with the musical score.
The musical score from Jaws let you know the dreaded killer great white shark was around.  Your heart begins to race with the music.    Listen to it below and I know you will feel the same.


Did you think about the shark devouring the people when you heard the music?  I can!

Another movie that had music that made a big impact on my life was The Exorcist.  Can you tell I grew up in the 70's?  Boy, I can hear that music and my heart starts to race thinking of all the horror from The Exorcist.


I have music that I like to listen to when I want to relax.  It is usually some cool jazz or perhaps some classical music.  

Music shapes or lives more than we know.  I cannot count the number of times I have sang the words to a sing,I perhaps, don't really even like.  Have you done that before?  We all have our favorite artiststs and we all have our favorite play lists.  

You can save your favorite play lists from  streaming services like Spotify or Pandora.  I personally have all my favorite music saved on Spotify.  That is usually what I listen to when I take a long trip.  When I am at home I normally have something playing from YouTube or even on my TV.  Cable TV has music stations and I can tune in to my faves!

There are so many people involved in music.  Have you heard of John Ross Jesensky?  He is  prolific composer and musician, John Jesensky has earned the admiration of peers and audiences alike with his innovative and masterful approach to the art form that is film scoring. In musical composition and film scoring in particular, Jesensky has found a vehicle for artistic expression that so closely coincides with his professional endeavors. Specializing in grand piano, Jesensky’s scores have been featured in countless films and have earned recognition through a host of awards as well as inclusion in some of the most revered film festivals and events.

Next time you hear the music while you are watching a movie, check the credits to see who it is.You will be quite surprised, I am sure!

How Many Apps Do You Need?


This is a sponsored post.
How many apps do you have on your device?. I must say, I have quite a few on my phone.  Apps directly link us to our favorite online games, shopping and even doctors.  It was quite nice when I was able to use my phone to see a doctor using Amwell a few weeks ago at 2 AM.  Convenience was definitely key to using the Amwell app.  I was able to see a doctor in fifteen minutes from the comfort of my home.  

I love my Words With Friends app.  I am a word person and having the app to play the game on my phone is quite handy.  I can play anywhere I go and I am not isolated to only playing on my computer.  Don't laugh.  I know you have the Candy Crush app on your phone.

Whether you use Google Play,Itunes, Amazon or Windows, there are millions of apps you can download to your phone, tablet, Ipad, or computer.  Everything from your banking app to fun and games.  I know we all have games on our phones for our kids.  I know I do.  I have the My Town: Pets app on mine.

No matter your age, there is an app you have on your device, whether it be for personal or business use.   Have you ever heard of the Ask Bongo app? Bongo is a super intelligent monkey from the shores of Borneo, who lives to dish the dirt 24/7! Get an answer to any question anytime! Bongo knows EVERYTHING about EVERYONE! 
It’s super simple to use Ask Bongo

Simply send your FULL NAME & TOWN and instantly be amazed with his knowledge! It’s freaky what Bongo knows!  Let me know your thoughts if you have this app and have used. It has definitely peaked my curiosity.

Technology has  come a long way and apps are a big part of that.  I am one of those people that use an app for most anything.  I am actually writing this post using an app!  I know the use of apps has skyrocketed.  Every day I see new apps and I have tried quite a few, only to delete them r see that they are full of ads and slow down my phone.  I keep the basic apps on my deice.  It sure does make life easier when you can check you bank balance from an app on your phone.  And if you have some time on your hands you can read a book or play a game,right from your favorite app.

What are the most used apps on your phone or device?
