Our Thoughts

I am steadily racking up my stock of adult coloring books. I absolutely love them. They take you straight back to your childhood, at least for me. As a kid I would color for hours with music playing in the background and it is still something I do today. They are much better than the kids coloring books that I play with with my kids. Now they can use their age appropriate books and I an use mine! 

The Nature Coloring Book is my favorite because I love flowers and nature themed items. This book doesn't just have flowers in it, there are beautiful pictures of full-sized animals of various types throughout the book as well. These are easy to color, big enough to fit markers and crayons. I like to use colored pencils and skinny markers. The markers don't bleed through the pages, but even if they do they're blank on the back of each page.  I just wish the pages were perforated because the pictures are so pretty that I want to take some of them out and frame them!

The Wallpaper Coloring book is definitely quirky and unique. My nine year old loves this book actually. Each page has some type of dog or cat and my daughter is obsessed with cats. The furniture and designs are pretty cool to learn about the different time periods and how they actually furnished their rooms then. The designs are really easy to color, I recommend markers for these ones so they're pretty bold as it's a "wall" you're coloring.

The art in each of these books is great. There's also other items like the Vintage book so there really is something for everyone. Great gifts to give for the Holiday Season!

Art Therapy from publisher Jacqui Small

French women have found a new way to relax - and it's probably not what you think. 

In a nation that is among the world's top consumers of antidepressants, coloring books are a prescription-free way to relieve anxiety.In fact, this non-competitive, mindful and focused activity has become so popular in France that coloring books are currently outselling cookbooks!

Fans are forming groups on social media sites where they post their work and advise each other on the best books and pencils. Many find that coloring 20 minutes to an hour per day relieves headaches, quells anxieties, and provides that rarest of feelings for a busy working woman or mom - a sense of accomplishment.

My Thoughts

I never thought I would enjoy coloring at the of forty six as much I as do.  I am a stay at home mom, and I also run an in home daycare.  So at the end of my day, I sometimes am a little stressed and just need to have some down time. 

I have a ten and seven year old, and in the early evening we all get out our books and color. They of course like to have contests with me to see who can stay in the lines.  Of course they don't realize that mommies book have a little more detail and smaller areas to color in.  But it is nice to sit with both my kids, because while we are all coloring, I find myself going into a meditation state. 

I have had a couple friends pop in and see me sitting with one of these books coloring.  They asked to see which ever one I wasn't using at the time, and she actually sat down and started coloring in the other book.  We had the small talk and just relaxed and colored together. 

There are so many beautiful pictures in these books to color.  I actually have thought about framing a couple and giving them as gifts to some family members.  These are great books and would also make great gifts for those friends or family members who could use a little down time themselves.   Most relaxing thing I've done in awhile.

Review: Eggnogg Color-in Products

**Product was received in exchange for a honest review**

Kids will love trick or treating in their own personally designed costumes! http://www.eggnogg.net/

Our Thoughts

You know when you're at a restaurant and the kids are going stir-crazy because the food isn't coming fast enough, so you flag your waiter down and ask for coloring stuff for the kids? Eggnogg saves the time and effort of having to wait. I stuffed the Pocket Books that were sent into the diaper bag where I had some "travel" packs of crayons for the kids. They got bored waiting at the table, were starting to get fidgety, I pulled out the Pocket Books and let them color! So easy! The drawings in the books are simple and the kids absolutely loved having their own little book! 

Eggnogg also sent Party Invites for Boys, a Knights & Maidens Tablecloth, and Little Sticky Critter stickers that the kids have thoroughly enjoyed. 

The invites are awesome, not only did my 5-year-old (soon to be 6!) color the invites and hand deliver them to family but he can color the Thank You's that are included (and match the invites) after his party to send to people who gave gifts. I'm sure that the grandparents will be hanging the invite and thank you on the fridge for a while. 

The tablecloth we threw on the table, grabbed some crayons and markers and got busy! The whole family had fun coloring it! Each person had their own space and there was no fighting by the kids over who got what pictures or even what colors! The tablecloth makes for great family time allowing us to catch up with the kids and do something constructive without the TV, video games or other electronics! The kids even added the Little Sticky Critters to the tablecloth! How fun is that?

If you're looking for something that is plain fun and simple, the Eggnogg products are awesome! You can check them out at their website and order from there!
