Dinky Dives Fathers Day Review

Dinky Dives Fathers Day Review

Review

Dinky Dives is the children’s clothing line within Deep Dive Threads. Deep Dives Threads specialized in the softest tee’s with humorous designs that don’t go overboard. So many graphic tee’s have too much going on. Too loud of a logo that takes up too much space on a tee-shirt that can borderline on being obnoxious. Owner and designer, Don, wanted to create a line of men’s and women’s clothing that was fun and modern but without being too commercial. After having large success with their adult line they have branched out into children’s onesies, and man are we excited about it!

Dinky Dives

Dinky Dives has a huge selection of awesome onesies for the cool kids in your life. From Disney to Marvel, they have the topics you want. They have the rights to use some amazing themes, images and fonts which really make them stand out from every other baby oneises on the market. The only other ones we were thinking about were the kigurumi.co ones, but they’re a little too warm for the weather around here. Sitll, their onesies are made with the super soft material that the adult tee’s are made with, giving that child their most cozy outfit ever.

With Father’s Day here moms are looking for that fun and special gift for their husband. Thankfully, Dinky Dives has created some amazing Daddy-and-Me sets just for this Father’s Day! You can find a ton of cool options for fathers, grandfathers and your child. Mixing and matching makes things more fun. Adding some fun extra gifts to go alongside what Dinky Dives offers could help make a great outfit for the man in your life. Looking at an idea for father’s day can be a struggle sometimes so make sure you shop around. Getting the right gifts to go with Dinky Dives father and son sets will make your man’s day. What’s great about these is that the sets are not identical. Dad’s aren’t typically big into wearing literally the same thing as their kid. But a set that is themed together makes it fun and cool.

The new Captain America: Civil War has been such a hit that Dinky Dives keeps selling out and rushing to make more of their amazing Captain American Costume Combo

Captain America Set

If Star Wars is what your guy loves, then the Star Wars 77 Retro Tee, Yoda Inspired, Jedi Master Onesie or the Star Wars Inspired Jedi Knight Onesie may be just the token for this Father’s Day. This is a great set for families with multiple children.

My husband was able to sport the classic ’77’ Star Wars Tee. He was also wearing his Star Wars belt buckles, which made our 2 year old way excited and he ‘had’ to touch it during our photo taking. Its always smart to start your Star Wars obsession at a young age #RaiseThemRight

My son, the 2 year old, is sporting the ‘Jedi Knight‘ onesie. As soon as I put it on him, he began to hum the Star Wars theme song and his big sister yelled out, “Look! He is Luke now!” My husband and I grinned at their young ability to recognize the character strictly by their clothing. Solid move kid, solid move.

Holster Review

As I have gotten older I find that I need more structure and organization to my life. I have become the queen of list making and feel the need to make sure everything I have has a “home”. Now that I have a baby on the move making sure that not only does everything have a home, I need to make sure that it’s out of reach of little hands. I have limited counter space in my home so keeping things “up” isn’t always easy when trying to also use that space. That’s where Holster has made my life so much easier; I get to add storage space while opening up my surface space.

 About Holster

holster products

 Holsters are silicone holders that attaches to any smooth, non-porous surface. Holster has it all, with their Hot Iron Holster, Hobby Holster and Lil’ Holsters. The hairstylist in me favors the Hot Iron Holster; it is heat resistant up to 500 degrees and is perfect for storing flat irons and curling irons. The Hot Iron Holster is perfect for traveling since you can pack your irons and not have to wait for them to cool down. It comes in three sizes Professional, Deluxe and Original. The Hobby Holster is heat resistant up to 400 degrees which is perfect for hot glue guns and craft supplies. The Hobby Holster has dual pockets as well as a built in ruler. The Lil Holsters come in three sizes, The Any, The Skinny and The Mini. The uses of these are unlimited; they are heat resistant up to 250 degrees. They have small holes in the bottom to allow wet objects to dry as well as the Lil Holsters are dishwasher safe. Some great uses include remotes, tools, brushes, razors, toothbrushes, glasses, pens, soap, sponges, make-up, the list is truly endless. Holsters come in a wide range of colors. Making it easy to match your room décor or keep things organized by color coding.
  Using your Holsters is as simple as placing on clean dry surface. Once in place it is ok to get wet. Keep your Holster clean is easy and very important to keeping a good hold to your surface. Wipe your Holster down with a lint-free cloth and rubbing alcohol or simply rinse with water.

 This Mama Experience

Hot Iron Holster

   Like I said before being a hairstylist the Hot Iron Holster is my favorite. Getting ready in the morning has gotten a holster showerlittle more difficult now that I have a crawling baby. I love the grip that the Hot Iron Holster has to the countertop; I don’t have to worry about little hands pulling the cord and my 400 degree flat iron falling off the counter. Not only do I use it at home, it has been put to work at the salon as well. With it being prom and wedding season I am always struggling for space while using multiple hot tools, it’s so convenient to be able to have the iron I’m using hanging within reach.  Or my favorite feature is that when I travel to and from work I don’t have to wait for my irons to cool down to pack them up.
holster kitchen  With a crawling baby comes baby proofing everything; the Lil Holster has so many baby proofing uses. The Lil Skinny Holster is perfect solution for keeping my razor off the side of the tub and out of reach of my little one. The Skinny and the Mini have come in handy for keeping the changing table organized. I am able to have her lotions and diaper creams within easy access for me and away from her.  I also love the Lil Holsters for kitchen organization, I have a small kitchen and I love that these keep my sponges and bottle brushes from just laying around.  Since the Lil Holsters are dishwasher safe I am able to easily keep them clean. The Lil Holters are exceptionally great for mini flat irons, which are in trend today. 
  You can order Holster online at www.hotironholster.com and they are now carried in many stores including Target.

Cuff Daddy Fathers Day Review

Cuff-Daddy is my favorite place to get unique and special cufflinks for my husband. My husband is a salesman and wears a suite every day. Many men who wear suits every day like to have little things to make them stand out. Conversation pieces. That is exactly what Cuff-Daddy cufflinks are. They add a little flair to their business attire without overpowering the outfit. A tie that is too loud or outspoken can be a turn off in any business setting. But putting on a small pair of cufflinks gives you that special something that is not crazy and in-your-face.

Cuff-Daddy cuffclinks are all very high quality. These are not the cheapy ones you many have come across while browsing the internet. Cuff-Daddy only provides links that are made to last, stylish and trending. From classic standards and wrap-around’s to zany novelties and interest themed links, they are sure to have a ton of links that would perfectly fit the man in your life’s style.

Mama’s (and Papa’s) Experience

For Fathers Day this year, my PapatheFox received 2 new pairs of cuff links from Cuff-Daddy.com and here is what we had to say

Sand Timer Cufflinks

Sand Timer

They cufflinks are silver and straight up gorgeous. They are simple and professional with that side of whimsy that is great for everyday wear. They are functional levels with a small amount of sand that glides from one side to the other as gravity allows. These links could help you pass the time while waiting for that conference call to start (or end). They are petite (3/4“ and 5/16“) which is perfect, because you don’t want your cufflinks to be bulky and banging around as you type and work throughout the day. Being a functional cufflink these make great gift for that man who already has everything.

hourglass cufflinks

Retro Telephone Cufflinks

Retro Phones

Among Cuff-Daddys many retro and comical cufflinks, you can find these amazing Retro Telephone Cufflinks. My husband sells telecom for a living and phones (and internet) are his life. He deals with phones and is on the phone all day every day. When we saw this pair of links we knew they would be a hit with not only his co-workers but his customers too. Everyone who has seen these links has nothing but amazing things to say about them. I love how they are a tiny 3D version of the classic phones we used when I was a child (am I showing my age here?). They are large enough to give room for the amazing detail in shape but small enough (1/2″ x 1/2″) to not be bulky or cumbersome. If you are 30 years old or older, then you have many fond memories of these ‘retro’ style telephones. They make the perfect gift for anyone from the 80’s, 70’s and beyond.

This is perfect for trips about town, to the beach or at the office.

bottleThis amazing new set from Santevia is just what every person needs. A water bottle that is eco-friendly and easy to use with the feature of filtering tap water on-the-go. This set is at a special debut price so you should act now to take advantage of the price.

The bottle is glass, making it safe to drink from and easy to wash. The beautiful rubber sleeve that simply goes around it keeps your glass from breaking when you live life and actually use it! I don’t live in a glass house and we know you don’t either. This design allows us to not make us feel like we are going to break the fine china. But it does make you giddy to know you are using a glass bottle that is so durable and classic.

By using the Santevia Portable Water Filter Stick (which comes with the POWER Pair) you can easily and safely filter water wherever you are. To use this stick you just place it into the water that you want to filter (in a water bottle is the easiest way). Shake or stir for 30 seconds. Water will reach optimal pH and chlorine reduction within 3-5 minutes. Then just simply drink the water!

Plan a Trip to Your Local Fire Station

What will your child do if they are stuck in a vehicle or building, scared and confused? Will they hide from the ‘stranger danger’ approaching them, or reach for the safe arms of the firefighter coming to help them?

child fire saftey

We love our children and would hate to think of tragedy occurring in our own lives, but it would be foolish of us to think we are invincible to harm. Sadly, we know of people who have been deeply affected by house fires and the physical and psychological trauma it can cause. Thankfully, from a legal perspective, Stephenson Rife offers help for burn injury victims. As a parent, of course we want to do everything we can to keep our kids safe, but there are situations that happen that we may not always have control over and that is unfortunate. Whether you are a homeowner or work as part of a construction site, there are many ways you can prevent the spread of fire. From Fire Hose Reel Testing and installing fire alarms in the home, there shouldn’t be any excuses as to how you can keep yourself and everyone around you safe. It’s all about prevention. But with this being said, there are ways to protect ourselves if anything was to happen. For example, making sure you have house & contents insurance put in place. This is to protect your home in case of a fire or flood and the content insurance is to protect your belongings. This is definitely worth doing some research into, as it is something important that your family needs. When an emergency occurs our children may need the assistance of a police officer, firefighter or paramedic. There is also a chance that people around get to buy ar-15’s from Palmetto State Armory to ensure safety. Teaching our children about stranger danger is of upmost importance. Kidnapping is no joke. However, they need to know that their are people who are out their who they can trust.

I highly suggest making a call to your local fire department and ask them if they offer children meet and greets. Some stations have special days or programs that you can attend. Others will open their doors to you same day. Either way, you want to be sure you visit them during business hours and when they are able to take the time to show you around and talk to you. Always call first.

Mama’s Experience

hand

We have gone a few times to the fire station in our small country town. They are always friendly and love when kids visit. One day I took just my son, age 2, when my daughter was in preschool. He was able to play with the hose, with the help of the fire lieutenant on staff that day. He is obsessed with water, so getting to help hold the super high pressure hose was what little boys dreams are made of. Not all stations will allow you to help with the fire hose, but if yours does, you are truly in for a treat.

in fire truckWhen you visit you can point out to your child that there are different types of vehicles there. Our station has basic fire trucks, but also ones that carry water in the truck. Living in the country we don’t have fire hydrants by my house (being the city this was mind blowing to me). When a fire occurs the trucks are pre-loaded with water and is used to control and dissipate the fire.

They will probably let your child sit in the cab of one of the trucks. This gives them the illusion of driving this massive vehicle. Getting to sit in your parents car when its off and play with the buttons is super fun for toddlers, just imagine their delight when getting to do that to a huge safety vehicle. They have buttons galore! Some fire fighters may even turn on the sirens and different alarms the truck can make. This can be a cause of excitement or fear, so be close to your child in the case of them getting too startled by the noise. You know your child best.

My favorite thing that I learned when at the station this past week was a new feature in our ambulance. Hidden 5 point harness in emergency vehiclebehind the seat back in one of the passenger seats, is a 5 point harness for children! I was able to get my 3 year old in for a quick photo, but my 2 year old started to melt down, so we didn’t get her strapped in tightly like we would if we were going to actually ride the ambulance. She say the belt once the fire fighter pointed it out and she exclaimed, “a seat for kids!” Even my 3 year old knows she belongs in a 5-point harness. I think this feature is so great. If I was to need to be rushed the hospital and my kids would obviously not be left alone, they can strap them in the ambulance safety for transportation. Or if the child didn’t need to be on a gurney per-say, but needed to be transported, now they can be safely buckled in for their journey.

wearing fire jacket

They may let your kits try on their uniforms or try them on for the kids. Seeing that its just an outfit and nothing to be scared of. We don’t ever see people wearing a suit like a fireman in our daily lives. They can look intimidating and even scary to a child. By explaining the functions of the uniform and why they wear them can make your child more aware. Being aware and knowledgeable lessens fear and builds confidence.

wearing fire helmet

Each time my kids meet a fire fighter they build trust in them. They see that their mom is happy to see them. If you are nervous and timid around when you meet the fire fighters, that shows your kids to be timid and nervous. Try to shake hands with them, laugh and smile a lot. Show your kids that you like to be with and around fire fighters. They trust who you trust.
