Zigels (TM) Backpack Business Travel Student up to 17" Laptop, Black

My expectations of this laptop backpack was definitely exceeded. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this backpack looks. I like the brown suede accent on the bottom of the back. It will also make it more durable when placing it on the floor. There are a multitude of different pockets and compartments. There are a few that I'm a little confused on their intended purpose but I'm sure once I get more then the bare minimums moved into the backpack, they will fill up quickly. There are buckles (think child safety belts on a shopping cart) to expand the thickness of the bag to allow more room and to hold your laptop more securely. I absolutely LOVE the fact that the interior of this bag is brown. Every other bag I have had is black and it is so easy to loose smaller items because you simply can't see them in a black lined bag.

The reason I gave this backpack 4 stars is for 3 reasons. The first is there is a strap that is supposed to go over the top of your laptop to secure it within the backpack. It is nowhere near long enough to secure my 17" laptop into the bag. I can't imagine it fitting over anything larger then a 14" laptop. I was also disappointed that there is no grab handle on the top of the bag. There is a loop for hanging the bag but nothing to carry it with. And the final reason for my 4 star rating is the overall lack of padding. My previous laptop bags had alot of padding for protection all the way around. This has very minimal padding is not much more then a standard backpack for a kid carrying books.

Walden Sure-Fire Fire Starter Review

I cannot say enough good things about these fire starters. We have a wood burning fireplace insert in our living room. We had a fire going all winter long but now that the weather is sporadic we have been letting the fire go out often due to a random 70 degree day. We have used about 1/2 the bag of fire starters so far and every time we are amazed at how well they work. We have tried many different fire starters since last fall. Everything from ones that cost over $1 a piece to the cheap ones you buy at home improvement stores for under $2 a box. The Walden sure fire fire starters work so much better then all of them. It is not mentioned in the description of the product but on a paper insert, it states these are made by adults with disabilities and I will be happy and proud to support this company. You can tell at first glance that these are made of recycled products which is another plus. They are paper tubes (toilet paper / paper towel) with shredded newspaper packed inside and it appears the whole thing has been submerged into wax. Possibly leftover wax from a candle factory or something because they smell of a mixture of candle scents.

They light very quickly with a large flame that easily catches your wood on fire. The burn time exceeds the necessary time needed to have a good fire going.

Sometimes with other fire starters more then one is needed to get your fire burning well but definitely not the case with the Walden Sure-Fire starters. If there was an option to give 6 stars for this product, I would. I will be back late summer / early fall to stock up on this great product for the winter burning season.

Let’s Eat Together Activity Placemat

Many children are motivated to do things by marking off lists or checklists. This placemat promotes just that. It is fun for the little ones to be able to go through the list of tasks and mark off what they have completed. I know as an adult, I like to see a list of things marked off and feel a sense of accomplishment. The other side of the placemat provides several activities that can help pass the time at the table. Excellent tool to teach children proper table manners.

Pur Nylon Braided Lightning to USB Charging Cable

Great quality cable that plugs in securely and works as expected. I love the look of a braided cable. It has a classy look and the look of quality. The packaging for this item seems to be a little excessive with 3 layers of packaging before you get to the actual product.

Safe Kids All Natural Mosquito Repellent Slap Bracelet

Mosquitoes are something to take very serious due to all the diseases and illnesses that are spread. Having 2 small children who love being outside, it is always a battle to keep them safe and bite free. I don't like using sprays on them and I recently discovered these Safe Kids slap bracelets. We are not into mosquito season yet but I have been hearing that this season is going to be bad due to our mild winter in Ohio. I'm really hoping these bracelets will solve the problem and protect our kids.

Each of these bracelets comes with 2 refills for a total of 30 days of protection. And you can prolong it longer then that by sealing up your bracelet in a ziploc bag.

1byone 7.2A / 36W 3-Port USB Car Charger

I love this 3 port USB car charger for 2 reasons. The first is the fact that there are 3 ports. Seems most car chargers have only 2 ports and it just seems that isn't enough for our charging needs. Another reason I love this charger is that all the ports are 2.4 amps. Most I have had in the past have a single port at 2.4 and the others are 1.0. Overall I am very happy with this product.
