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.

My favorite way to filter water is by using Santevia products. Santevia uses a natural and amazing method to not only clean your water but to help balance it to its optimal state. Having water that is pH balanced not only tastes amazing but it helps your body get into prime condition. Now with Santevia’s POWER Pair, you can filter your water on-the-go! This is perfect for trips about town, to the beach or at the office.

The POWER Pair

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.

No Bake Energy Bites

energy bites no bake

 

These are the perfect bite sized snack for those forever hungry toddlers. Those growth spurts can cause their tiny tummies to be as hungry as a 16 year old boy! Help satisfy your child’s hungry with these healthy, easy and fun snacks.

little helpers no bake

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dry oats (we used Bakery On Main’s Rolled Oats)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seed
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Mix all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl
    1. Children love to dump in the ingredients. Make a game of counting the ingredients. If they are older work on spelling them outloud and if younger work on colors and textures (smooth, sticky, grainy…)
  2. Once mixed well place into the fridge for at 30-45 minutes and let cool/set.
  3. Take out of fridge and roll into small balls
    1. Kids can help with this task. Rolling takes some skill, so don’t let them become discouraged with how theirs may turn out. If you have a melon-baller spoon this may help with shaping them if their developing fine motor skills are getting them frustrated.
  4. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.

 

Makes approximately 2 dozen depending on how large you make them.
