The Cafe PRO may look intimidating but it can easily be mastered. You need to use caution and should read the owners manual in it’s entirety before using this magnificent machine. I will highlight some basics here, but please read that manual!
It is best to grind your beans just before brewing, or as close to brewing as possible. When you grind use the espresso setting so that they are the correct texture. It should look like sugar granules when ground properly.
Capresso Cafe PRO
comes with a double spout portafilter and a bottomless portafilter. If you are a beginner and don’t know what those words mean, then you want to start with the double spout portafilter. Capresso Cafe PRO
features a state-of-the-art boiler to keep the water piping hot and ready for action on a moments notice. Due to this feature the cord on this machine is shorter than other electronics. This is because we do not want someone tripping over a boiling hot water holding device. Epic bad image. **shutters** The water is stored in a 42 oz removable water container. This makes filling it super easy.
Use the bottom end of the scoop that is included with the machine to press down on the grounds you put in the portafilter of your choice. This makes the grounds more compact and will brew more effectively and give you the bold flavor you desire. Then you need to attach it to the machine. This is a very easy set. Simply place the filter into the circular connector on the machine itself. The machine clearly reads ‘insert’ and ‘lock’. Have the handle on the left and rotate the handle toward the right until it hits the center of the machine. You can feel it lock into place. Once it is locked in place you can follow the instruction manual on how to brew a shot of espresso.
I love the 15 bar pump feature – which allows you to get that super lovely top foamy goodness that is the iconic look of a classic cup of espresso. 15 bar simply put means it has a greater force of atmospheric pressure, which results in better pressure when the water is pressing the grinds – making you that silky cup of espresso. You can see below the beginning to end results of a simple shot of espresso. It comes out a light coffee color, but as it sets for a moment the separation occurs giving you a classic espresso.
In order to make a cappuccino you only need to add frothy milk to your espresso. Using the Best Milk Frother ensures that the milk will be as frothy as can be which will make the coffee taste even better. The Cafe PRO comes with a frothing wand, 
allowing you to make not only your espresso but a cappuccino as well. For a beginner making the froth is easy as making the espresso itself. Doing the fun cappuccino art you can find throughout Pinterest and at hip cafe spots it a real talent and takes loads of practice, as well as a gift for art in my opinion. To make the froth add cold milk to a cold metal pitcher. Click here to see more of these milk froth pitcher

Moby is a leader in the baby wearing community. With their soft and easy to use wraps they are many parents first experience with baby wearing. While the length of the wrap can be intimidating when first looked at, its really not that complicated. Check out the very easy tutorials on YouTube and you will be confident in a flash. To read more about the benefits of baby wearing (according to an occupational therapist) click here.
If you have not tried to baby wear yet and are intimated by trying alone MamatheFox would suggest reaching out to your local BWI (Baby Wearing International) group. Most major (and some smaller) cities have a group of baby wearing pros who meet up on a weekly or monthly basis. You can go and talk to real baby wearing parents and they can teach you in person how to properly wear your child. You can typically borrow carriers too before you buy, making the process fun and easy.

We all love Hulu! It’s great for adults and kids and you can watch the best shows at any time of the day. This is why it is such a popular streaming service all over the world, from Hulu in Canada to Hulu in the UK. Now, your favorite monkey is swinging into your home. All 9 seasons of Curious George, as well as the animated film Curious George: Follow That Monkey, are now streaming only on Hulu. As with all Kids shows on Hulu in Australia, Curious George streams commercial-free.
Hulu is THE streaming destination for the best of TV, and a great selection of films! Plus, you can stream almost anywhere, on any device, including gaming consoles, set-top boxes, tablets, mobile phones, and more. The same goes for a lot of OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. Nevertheless, if the movie or series you want to watch isn’t available in your country, you can use the option to change country Amazon Prime, or any other online streaming platform for that matter. Hulu has some of the best shows for adults as well. It is one of the most affordable entertainment platforms that is being used by people around the world. However, if you are in Canada, it may be possible that you can’t watch Hulu in Canada. But, don’t worry, several VPNs can be taken advantage of to enjoy Hulu. Nothing should stop you or your kids from watching the favorite shows! All you have to do is launch the VPN, and then connect to a U.S server, and then sign in to Hulu. I recommend Curious George as your first show. So if you think your kid would be love Curious George, visit
