#HolidayGiftGuide Kicks off NOW - Christmas Classics






You can't start off a Gift Guide without trying to get into the Holiday Spirit!
That is why, today, I am highlighting a little taste of Christmas for us all!


Today:

The Original Christmas Classics on Blu-Ray.


Up until last year, I had never seen the movie, "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town."
I know, I know...

Marc saw it on and wanted Broxton and I to watch it.

It was rather cute, as we started a family tradition without really knowing it.

Think about it, it was our first Christmas as the 3 of us, since Marc was deployed Broxton's first Christmas...

I am glad that "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" is in this set, as we now have it to watch together every year!
Fred Astair is the voice of the Postman/Narrator. Mickey Rooney is the voice of Kris Kringle/Santa Claus. I love they way this is presented as the postman answers questions as they relate to Santa and we get to see the story in a whole different perspective.

This set also included Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman ... and also features, Frosty Returns!

All of these movies were released in the mid 1960's-1970's.

I love how basic they are, but yet are still so captivating all these years later!
It is a 2 disc set, that I know will be sure to delight people of all ages.

It is from "back in the day", not a newer movie...
Meaning, all the fancy graphics and animation out today are not present in these.
Truly a classic that is great to start traditions in your house.

My only suggestion?
Don't put this as a gift under the tree...
Open it now, pop some popcorn and start making memories!!!!

    We always looked forwarded to these Holiday Classics. I remember as a kid, that these cartoons were the new age, we weren't used seeing cartoons like these. My kids grew up with these classics, and now with the grandkids, I scan to channel guide to share with them.. lots of fond memories.

    I haven't seen the movie either, lol.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
