Coffee or Tea Press on the Go


New from Planetary Designs--a travel mug with a built-in french press! Finally, a travel friendly way to enjoy fresh pressed coffee or loose leaf tea! One the best features about these cups is the fine-mesh filter through the drinking hole--guaranteed to catch any wayward coffee grounds or tea leaves so they stay in the cup. Brilliant!

The lower design (travel cup) also has a compartment in the bottom to store your tea or coffee to make another cup later. The upper design leaves room for a few more ounces for those of you that enjoy an extra large cup.

I LOVE IT. I received this cup as a gift a few years ago and finally tracked them down to bring them to you!

If you've never tried your coffee in a french press, you simply must. Also this is SO EASY to make your own portion without firing up the old coffee maker (or a solution for you at work if you aren't as lucky as we are with such delicious coffee brewing all day in Gingersnaps! Bring your own grounds and do it yourself). AND, if you are getting hooked on loose leaf tea, this is an excellent way to enjoy it.

Additional details:

  • Constructed of double-walled, 18/8 restaurant-grade stainless steel
  • Patented plunger press and ultra-fine, stainless steel mesh screen
  • High gloss, scratch-resistant finish
  • Top-shelf dishwasher safe
  • 14 oz. capacity, 6 3/4"H. (travel mug) 20 oz. capacity, 6 3/4" H (desk top mug)

Mama, What's in there?

This is what a little bear, a young dolphin, and a sweet little boy are wondering about their mamas’ big, pregnant tummies. Simple flaps on the mothers’ bellies reveal the babies inside. Tabs and wheels let children make the baby dolphin swim, the puppy pant, the human infant suck his thumb, and more—in utero! This unique book reveals the amazing things that animal and human babies do in preparation for life.


Lots of other new things in the baby department including My Little Seat. A little seat that attaches to all types of chairs so everyone can have a seat at the table! Perfect for travel (it comes with it's own matching bag) and suitable for babies 6-30 months.


Also new is the Angel Care Baby's First Toothbrush.
The dentist-designed Angel Brush toothbrush uses an innovative soft, silicone design, made with tiny bristles which massage baby's gums.

* Reduces harmful bacteria
* Removes plaque, sugar, starches and other foods that can cause tooth decay and gingivitis
* Can also be used as a teething ring or pacifier
* 100% silicone
* PVC free
* Soft, safe, convenient to use, and easy to clean

Biting is easier, cleaner, safer and more comfortable than a toothbrush. Kids can do it themselves (with your supervision of course). Cleans teeth, massages gums and soothes teething gums with its soft bristles on each side. Each bite cleans all three sides of 10 top and bottom teeth at the same time! The only multi-use toothbrush for infants and young children from 3 months to 5 years old.

New Robeez!




HUGE new shipment of Robeez just arrived! Tons of adorable new styles, and sandals in both soft sole and mini-shoes (in case you are jetting off to a hot spot for March break!)

A lot of the new styles are coming in boxes now instead of the clear bag, and the boxes are GREAT. Love them.

To see more of the new styles, check out the Robeez website.

An easy Valentine Dessert



Our friends at McLeod Home Building Centre in Spruce Grove, AB sent us along a virtual cookbook of famous recipes. Below is one I figure is a simple valentine's dessert that the boys can make for the ladies in their lives. My Dad loves Cracker Barrel, my husband & father-in-law love cherry pie filling, so I dedicate this post to them ;)

Not fancy by any means, but probably tastes super sweet and chocolately, perfect for a treat.

"Cracker Barrel" Cherry Chocolate Cobbler
1−1/2 cups flour
1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cups butter
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi−sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cups milk
1 egg
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
1/2 cups nuts, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350F. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking
powder, salt and butter; cut with pastry blender until crumbs are
size of large peas. Melt chocolate chips over hot (not boiling) water.
Remove from heat and cool slightly at room temperature (about 5 minutes).

Add milk and egg to melted chocolate and mix well.
Blend chocolate into flour mixture.
Spread cherry pie filling in bottom of 2 quart casserole. Drop chocolate
batter randomly over cherries. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Bake at 350 F for 40 − 45 minutes. Serve warm with heavy cream.
