Nestle Holiday Products

Image
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Nestle is the perfect candy for the holidays or anytime. Candy Canes are a classic holiday item. Nestle offers a unique flavor twist. You can get them in Sweet Tarts, Spree, or Gobstoppers. So now your favorite candy is offered in a Candy Cane. Spree Candy Cane My kids loved the candy tubes filled with Sweet Tarts and Spree's. You can never go wrong with an assortment of miniature candies such as Crunch, Butterfinger, and Babyruth. The jingles are perfect holiday shaped candy to add to the holiday fun. The laffy taffy came in a fun tin that can be used over and over. While it is fun to just eat the candy. Nestle is also great for baking. For instance you could make this cute Cookie Ornament cups. This is a cute recipe that uses cookie dough, candy, and frosting to create the look of an ornament. It is way cute and adds fun to any festivities. The recipe is simple, and easy to follow.

Holiday Gift Guide: Bosley Builds A Treehouse

Image
I love reading and so do my kids. I am also encouraging them to learn Spanish. Previously we reviewed Bosley Goes to the Beach . So when I had a chance to review another book from the same series I was pleased. This time the book is called "Bosley Builds a Treehouse." You can find these books on the author's webpage or on amazon . This book is perfect for language learners and is available in a variety of languages including: Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Russian, or Japanese. So it is perfect for whatever language you are trying to learn. In the book, Bosley Bear works with his forest friends to build a tree house. The story encourages teamwork, success, and friendship. While at the same time teaches your child new spanish words and phrases. The pictures are cute and eye catching. The text is easy to follow. The story is great to read during the day or at bedtime. It was a hit with my kids. I read this book to my kids on the iPad but it is also

Presto Photo Book

Image
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Do you have a ton of Holiday pictures? Maybe a ton of baby pictures? I like to make photo books with my pictures. I love that it allows me to see a variety of pictures all in one book. My daughter has photo books from her at age 1, 2, and 3. My son only had his from age 1. I had tons of photos but needed to create more books. Thankfully Presto Photo Book forced me to stop and make the time to do just that. Preview of my Photo books cover! I created a photo book for my son at age 2. (He is 3 1/2 now...so I'm just a little behind on creating photo books.) First, I want to say that I really enjoyed the customer service from Presto Photo books. They were quick to reply and answer any concerns that I had. I chose to order a 11"x 8.5" Hardcover book.  The first step in the process was to set up an account. That just required an email and password. After that I had to upload the pictures I wanted to use. Upl

Xperience Day- Sedona Jeep Tour

Image
I had the opportunity to book an Experience from Xperience Days . What is Xperience Days you ask? Xperience Days is a website where you can pick from 1000s of unique activity gifts across the US. This allows you to give the perfect present.  No more boring gift cards, neck ties, etc as gifts. Now you can give the gift of Culinary Classes, Nascar Driving Experience, Hot Air Balloon flights, etc. Xperience Days would make the perfect Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary, or Wedding gift.  First you select the type of experience you want. You can search by State, by price range, etc. I live in AZ so I searched for things nearby. I could have done a painting class, a helicopter tour of Sedona, a Canyon Boat tour, etc.  You can then buy the experience and send to the recipient. They can choose when they'd like to redeem the experience. I choose to do the Sedona Jeep Tour with my husband. I choose this tour because it was something that I could do with him. Sedona is a little drive

Dr. Fischer giveaway and review

Image
I just got a ton of things from Dr. Fischer . Things I never knew about or what to do with. Take  Dr. Fischer EYE-CARE for Baby  for example, I never used cleansing wipes on my kids eyes before. But then I remembered how when Logan was born he had a ton of eye gunk for the first two weeks and we kept trying to keep it clean. I wish I had some of Dr. Fischer's wipes then. Or when Logan had pink eye. They are tearless and hypoallergenic! He also make them for adults.

Pampers firsts giveaway

Image
This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine." As Thanksgiving time came up, it dawned on me that this was going to be the last "first" Thanksgiving that L ogan will have. I can't believe that he will be year in just a few short days. It was a great Thanksgiving, my mom even came in from out of town. Pampers also knows how important this time is for you can family. As of a few months ago we had to switch out diapers out for something that would not leak as much. I have to day when I got the Pampers Swaddlers it reminded me of when I got to hold my little boy. This is because they used the same diapers at the hospital. Mind you that was a new born size and hes now in a size 4! and luckily now pampers sells it you a size 5.

OH no not the FLU!!!!!????

In case you did not see my faebook post a few days back. Ryan my hubby got the flu. The first time in years. So then he gave it to Adien, and then Aiden gave it to me and of course Logan got it too. I have not had the flu in over 15+ years. I am so sorry I have not been on here a lot the last week or two just because I can't think, or even move really. I am going to be working really hard the next few days to try and get some things up. I am so sorry if anything is late getting out. I still have a bad cough and it hurts my head when I cough but I am able to move around a little more.

Piczzle, picture puzzles

Image
As you can see I got to take a wonderful picture and turn it into puzzle, this is why they call themselves Piczzle, picture puzzles . In my video I just wanted to show you Aiden putting it together but as you can tell I had a baby boy also trying to sit on my lap and do it to. Picking out a photo was probably the hardest part of it all. Once you know what picture you want to use just upload it and then wait. You can get the puzzles in different sizes and different amount of puzzle pieces. With my kids being little and got them one of the smaller ones. You can always head over to piczzle youtube page and find out more too! This would make a great Christmas or birthday president. How many people can say that they have a  customized jigsaw puzzles? Not many. This would even make a cute anniversary gift. Get a picture of you and your spouse and put it into a picture puzzle I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com . Regardless, I only reco
