Look Whoooo's Here

Sorry, that was a little corny. :) But, we're so excited about these owl themed products!!

$15 at Country Drawers

Hootie Cutie has been one of our best selling products. This adorable owl is such a best seller, that we can barely keep it in stock! We were only able to get a limited amount from our supplier this time around, so get your orders in soon!

$10.99 at Country Drawers

These Owl Security Blankets are brand new to Country Drawers. Measuring 12x12 inches, it is a perfect blankie for your baby or toddler to carry around. The blankets are luxuriously soft and so stinkin' cute! They even feature little loops on the corners, including one velcro loop, that make it easy to attach the blanket to a stroller while you're out and about.

Also available in Pink!

Is anyone else a sucker for owls?

Snow Ice Cream

Our big winter storm is here and we are officially snowed in. More than likely, we'll be here for a few days so I already have activities lined up to keep our 3 year old from going stir crazy. His favorite activity? Making Snow Ice Cream. When I told him it was going to snow, the first thing he asked me was, "Can we make ice cream?"

Granted, it's not Ben & Jerry's, but it's still pretty good. And, you can make it as healthy as you'd like!

Take a mixing bowl outside and scoop up about 4-5 cups of fresh (and CLEAN) snow. Back inside, mix 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 c sugar and 1 cup of milk or cream with the snow. You can add more or less sugar to suit your tastes.

TIP: Coconut milk makes GREAT Snow Ice Cream. If you want a creamer 'ice cream' use table or whipping cream.

You can even jazz up your Snow Ice Cream with your favorite toppings.

What are your favorite activities for snow days?

Buncha Farmers Stain Remover ~ It's A Miracle!

Oh Scout, how we loved you when you first joined our family over 3 years ago. Unfortunately, that love didn't last very long. After the first time our son spit up on you, you became a bane to my existence. Why in the world would someone make an electronic stuffed toy that could not be washed??? And, why would THAT toy become my son's absolute favorite?

Scout is never too far away from C.

Over the past three years, I have tried to 'spot clean' Scout as much as I possibly could but I always felt like he wasn't really clean. We had a scare one time when the power button on a bottom paw stopped working after I used a little too much liquid soap and water. Thankfully, he dried fine and the button started working again. After that, I've just lightly wiped him down and sprayed him with some Clorox Anywhere spray every now and then. Yes, I know that wasn't the best option, but I was running out of ideas.

Then, along comes this little miracle called the Buncha Farmers Stain Remover Stick. When we first brought it in to the store, I used it on a recently returned newborn rental package and it removed every single stain! After seeing my son dragging a now quite dingy looking Scout around the house, I had an epiphany! Why not try the stain stick on Scout? Hubby and I had already decided that we would probably have to buy a new Scout soon so I figured I didn't have anything to lose.

I started out by wetting the stain stick with some warm water and lightly rubbing it all over Scout. I had to stop and re-wet it a couple times. Then, I gently scrubbed Scout with my hands. I let him sit for about a half hour and then I took a warm, barely wet washcloth and wiped the stain remover off. This was the most time consuming part of the cleaning because I had to do it multiple times and I had to make sure the washcloth wasn't too wet. My son even got in on the action and grabbed a dry towel to wrap Scout in after his 'bath'.

After Pic ~ So clean, so fresh!

Afterward, I placed him in the living room in front of the fan to dry quickly. He looked (and smelled) so much better! After this, I doubt I'll ever use any stain remover but Buncha Farmers again. What an awesome product! Plus, it's only $4.50 at Country Drawers with free shipping in the US! 

After Pic - that spot on his nose is gone!

After Pic  - No more dingy paws!
