Barska X-Trail Binoculars Review and Giveaway


Hi Neighbors,

This next item is standard equipment for a road trip and always keeps my children busy and entertained. I received a set of Barska X-Trail Binoculars from Wind and Weather. My husband loves them! This set is great because it comes with a carry bag, neck strap, tripod and tripod adapter.






I was surprised at how large these binoculars are! Here is some technical information:
1.Magnification 15x
2. Objective Lens 70mm
3. Field of View 231ft @ 1000yds
77m @ 10000m
4. Close Focus 49.2ft/15m
5. Prism Glass BAK-4
6. Exit Pupil 4.7mm

My children enjoy looking at birds and other wildlife, along with the clouds, mountains, and anything else they want to get a better look at on the road trip. They take turns using the binoculars and spotting different things.


When we stop at rest areas or other sites they can set the binoculars up on the tripod on a table, or other flat surface. Makes the binoculars more steady and they can then find something to focus on and leave it there for the next person to see. These will definitely be going on more trips with us!

Another great thing is we are visiting in Illinois and they can watch the birds on the feeders. We have seen several Finches, a couple of Woodpeckers, both a male and female Cardinal, many Grackle, and a few others. Most of the finches are a beautiful yellow!









I will add more pictures tomorrow of the Barska Binoculars being used at the Mississippi River.

These binoculars would make a great gift for a birdwatcher, a hunter, hiker, or anyone who enjoys seeing things up close.

You can purchase the Barska X-Trail Binoculars at Wind and Weather on sale right now for $83.99 plus shipping.

Now the really great news is one reader is going to win a Barska X-Trail Binoculars.

Hi and Happy Easter! :) Oh my goodness, this is the thing I would want -- I've been looking at larger binoculars for astronomy, but as you go up, so do the prices... however, you wanted something else for this entry... so, wouldn't mind the Stone Fountain -- I always liked the idea of those indoor fountains. :)

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
