Happy Easter




Kobrand Wine and Spirits Easter Gift Guide 2016


Easter is on the way and Kobrand has some great wines to have with Easter dinner The Seeker Riesling which is a fresh and crisp wine that features vibrant fruit including citrus, peach and pineapple just enough sweetness to balance out the ham dinner as it can be salty. The Seeker Malbec is a well-round red wine that is acidic and fruity taste can handle the robust flavors of the lamb but not overpower it. St. Francis Chardonnay goes well with the vegetables and potatoes which go with the main dish this rich and ripe California Chardonnay has fresh melon, citrus and pineapple flavors making it a versatile medium-bodied Chardonnay that compliment vegetables like Brussels sprouts and a creamy potato salad. The last wine for Easter is the Caposaldo Moscato which goes with desserts like lemon pie or tart. The Caposaldo Moscato wine is a refreshing, light in alcohol taste with just enough sugar to match the gentle sweetness of desserts with apricot and peach aromas that highlight the honey cream.
My Opinion: These are a great pairing for your Easter dinner with friends and family to enjoy at the dinner table. My favorite so far is the Caposaldo Moscato as it is refreshing and light on the tongue. The others have a great flavor body to have with the meal and sides whichever you prefer.

BRIO Countryside Horse Set Easter Gift Guide 2016


With Easter coming very soon if you are still looking for a great gift to get your child who is over the age of three let me tell you about BRIO. BRIO sent me Countryside Horse Set that is part of a train set with a ride through the country! The wooden railway brings you over the rocks to a hidden countryside pasture. When your horse is up for a field trip away from its beautiful shed, give it a shower and lead it to the train. The wagon has a perfect design for horse transport, complete with a foldout ramp that includes 28 pieces in all. It is a great toy of discovery and stimulation for a child that age teaching hand-eye coordination becomes refined, and fine motor skills are improving through handling small objects.  This is a period where children will play alongside each other, but cannot share toys or play actively together.  Since their hand coordination is at a pretty high level, children this age like to help out in the kitchen; scrubbing vegetables, snapping peas, tearing salad, and peeling bananas. Cutting with safety scissors is also fun.  This is also a period when children’s imagination truly blossoms, and where they’ll start enjoying all types of pretend play: such as “playing house” with imaginary friends, dolls and stuffed animals.


My Opinion: I have seen train sets but none as detailed and simple for kids to grasp and hold with lots of different play options that can be played with for hours. It would make a great gift for any boy as you know boys love trains.

BRIO RC Travel Train Easter Gift Guide 2016


Another great Easter gift idea is BRIO RC Travel Train for ages 3 and up in the color white and has a remote controlled travel train the child is the train driver. The poseable figure fits inside the passenger wagon. The unique controller has easy to use reverse and stop functions as well as two different forward speeds. Press the buttons for light and sound effects using A & B frequencies make it possible for 2 RC trains to run on the tracks at the same time. This comes with 4 total pieces to play with and requires four AA batteries.

My Opinion: For kids to use it is very simple with no complicated handle to control the pieces are very sturdy and durable for kids to play with no matter how rough they get but obviously as a parent we would want them to be respectful of toys and others.

Prepper’s Communication Handbook by Jim Cobb


I got this book for my dad as he goes to a prepper’s meeting twice a month and figured he will enjoy reading this book it is called Prepper’s Communication Handbook Lifesaving Strategies for Staying in Contact during and after a Disaster by Jim Cobb. This is the ultimate guide to acquiring, assembling and utilizing life-saving emergency communication systems including in-depth coverage of using HAM radios, walkie talkies, shortwave radios and CB radios.
When disaster strikes, calls, texts and emails don’t work, after 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and Hurricane Sandy, cell phones were rendered useless when transmission towers were destroyed and networks became overloaded. Having an alternative way of reaching family and loved ones at these critical moments is essential. With this in-depth guide, you learn the best tips, tricks and expert secrets for surviving when phones and the internet fail.

This comprehensive guide covers everything needed to be fully prepared for when the grid goes down, including the best types of radio for every disaster scenario from HAM radios (used by most search and rescue groups) to walkie talkies (small and easy to use, ideal for children). And since survival communication goes beyond the short term, there are also instructions for longer term solutions like hand-cranked or solar powered batteries.
My Opinion: This book gave me tons of information and I learned a thing or two as well with the meaning of each type of radio, the codes used by the military, aviation and law enforcement. How to communicate online and by radio to get help.My dad is going to love this book and what it has to offer as he feels in the near future we will be having a disaster and he will be prepared.
