White House in a Gray City

White House in a Gray City is the story of a boy who was sent by his overwhelmed mother to live in an orphanage in Pre-War Poland. The orphanage was the run by the famous Janusz Korczak (real name Henryk Goldszmit), a children's author and educator. The author of White House in a Gray City is Itzchak Belfer, who also has a children's book about his Janusz Korczak. This book is the story of Itzchak Belfer's life in pre-war Poland, including his time in the orphanage. The book follows the journey of Itzchak Belfer from his early days in an orphanage, through his travels to escape Nazi forces during the war, to his attempt to find his home. The story is full of sorrow and suffering but ends on a happier note. The book includes mention of the early days of the founding of the state of Israel, though it does seem to leave out or gloss over some of the more unpleasant facts of that era.

LEKEYE Bathtub Drain Hair Catcher

Everyone knows the woes of a clogged drain. It can totally ruin what should have been a perfectly pleasant shower. There's nothing worse than having filthy water back up on you while you are trying to get clean. One of the major causes of clogged drains, in my house anyway, is hair. I have long, thick, coarse hair that seems to get left behind everywhere I go in vast quantities. So we often have to unclog our bathtub drain because of the massive balls of hair that build up surprisingly often. So we are always on the lookout for new devices to catch the hair before it gets down into the drain and clogs up the system. This drain catcher looks like a great device for that purpose. Unfortunately, it won't fit our bathtub drain. I thought this one would be the right size, but I was sadly mistaken. So now I'm going to pass it off to my sister to see if anyone in the family could use it.

This little contraption catches hair so it doesn't plug up your pipes. Get one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FQ8P63T

Stackable Shoe Storage Box

You can never have too many storage boxes. I keep these on hand for storing my jewelry making supplies in and my other craft stuff or any thing I don't want to get dusty. One thing I like about the shoe boxes is they are stack able but at the same time small enough to fit little places that other wise are no good for storing things in. I gave some of these to my dad. He's a gun smith and likes reloading his own ammo and these are perfect for storing brass and gun parts in, as well as some of his key chain collection, and they help him to be better organized. Some thing he really needed since he had things pilled and stuffed under tables in such a way he could not see what he had. These are also great for small kids toys like legos, cars, or other small toys kids like to scatter all over the floor. Good for holding small items while traveling too, and keeping pet food in when your on the go. I like these ones better then some I have bought in the past because they are a bit thicker plastic and don't crack and break as easily as some others do. I also like that the lids fit good, snap down tight and stay on. Get a set here https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-cm-stackable-shoe-storage-box-or-storage-bins-6-quart-12-pack

Tibetan Singing Bowl Set

Tibetan singing bowls are a great meditation tool and they're also a fun little instrument to play around with. They sound really nice and the sound lasts for a while as it slowly fades out in a nice, soothing manner. I don't do a lot of meditation because I get bored and distracted so it's hard to focus and my mind always wanders. Everyone says that having a mantra can help, but for me it really doesn't work. This bowl does help me keep focused though, because the sound is nice and soothing and very easy to focus on allowing me, and maybe other easily distractable people, to easily hone in on it and remain focused on the sounds. It's also a pretty and interesting piece of decor for your home, so there's no need to try and find somewhere to store it when not in use.

Very nice singing bowl set. Get one here https://www.amazon.com/TANTRA-SOUNDS-Tibetan-Singing-Bowl-Set/dp/B074H9M63J/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537447192&sr=8-1&keywords=tantra+sound+bowl&dpID=51zUnmjJxJL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

TANTRA SOUNDS Zafu Yoga Meditation Bolster Pillow Cushion

This meditation pillow is perfect for anybody who enjoys meditation or anybody who is trying to get into meditation. It can also be used during yoga or other methods of exercise. Plus, it makes a nice cat bed! My cat loves it, she has officially declared it as her new sleeping spot and gets somewhat grumpy when she is removed from the pillow. It is a nice, comfortable pillow. It is also pretty small and compact, so it does not take up too much room, which is really important if you live in a small place like I do. I have found a lot of interesting things you can do with this cushion, as well. It is helpful for doing elevated push ups, you can put it behind your back when leaning on a solid or otherwise unpleasant surface. It is, all in all, a great little cushion for all of your yoga and meditation needs!

Posture Corrector

Good posture is really important. Maintaining good posture can help prevent back pain, and can also make you look taller and slimmer. Maintaining good posture can be difficult, especially in modern society where we often spend a lot of time sitting in front of computers or staring down at cell phones. All of that sitting and neck craning can have a terrible affect on your posture. This posture corrector is great for helping correct that. It is easy to put on and comfortable to wear. It can be adjusted to fit most sizes of people. Anyone who needs a little help improving their posture should consider getting one of these.

This little device is great for improving your posture.

HyperPaws Floating Dog Ball Set

Tippy, our Australian Shepherd/Labrador mix, is a very big, very energetic fluff ball. Tippy really loves playing with balls, but many balls are easily damaged or destroyed, leaving poor puppers with a deflated ball that isn't as fun to chase. These dog balls, however, are made of a much sturdier plastic that holds up better to the strong chewing powers of puppers like Tippy. The balls also roll in wild random directions because of the bumpy texture on them. Also, that bumpy texture makes the ball easier to hold by some dogs with smaller mouths. The set includes three balls, one red, one blue, and one green. I plan to give one ball to Tippy, one ball to my sister's dog, Anubis, and one ball my kids are enjoying playing with so I'll keep the third ball. Our new kitten, Ski, also likes these balls because of the weird and random rolling patterns, though she is way to tiny to move the ball on her own, so I have to roll it for her. All in all, these balls really are great for dogs, cats, and kids. The fact that they float is also a great feature, because that makes them suitable toys for use in the pool or at the lake or river.

Cicloop Reflex Ball Headband

Recently I have been trying to get back in shape, and as a result, I have been looking for new workout routines. And since boxing is a pretty good workout, I thought this boxing training headband would be a good thing to try out. Except that I forgot how completely uncoordinated I am and my lack of eye-hand coordination. After about two weeks of practice with this headband, I still have a lot of trouble successfully keeping the ball going. In fact, in many instances when I hit it, it simply flies back and hits me in the face or chest. It doesn't hurt, so at least there's that. It really is a cool and useful tool, I will say. But if, like me, you lack eye-hand coordination it may take you quite a while to get the hang of it. I tried using both the lightweight and heavier weight ball and I find that, personally, the heavier ball work better for me. The lightweight ball seems to fly more "out of control" when I try using it. The headband is easy to set up, it velcros onto your head, and the elastic that holds the ball can easily be shortened to accommodate short-armed people like me.



This is such a cool product, it's a great way to improve your hand-eye coordination. Get one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DQMT3YD
