As many of you know, I love reading and love sharing the gift of books with Broxton.  I think books are great and are a great way to escape, explore and imagine!   We love reading together and we were lucky enough to be chosen to help with the release of the movie, The Book Of Life, in celebrating National Reading Day on January 23rd. 
 
What does it mean to celebrate National Reading Day?
Well, for us, we had a friend meet us and he and Broxton worked on making their own Book of Life Books! 
We were sent a great assortment of products from the Book of Life, including a sketch pad, crayons, color pencils, stencils, rulers, stickers and even book bags!  Another awesome thing...  Pinhole Press sent along cute note pads (I gave one to a friend and then kept one for me!)  as well as gift codes for us to make our own professional Book Of Life Photo books!!!
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have already seen the photos below, but I just love them and wanted to share for those not on Instagram!  
 
 
 
 
With the release of The Book of Life coming up so soon, and today being National Reading Day, we got to thinking about how important reading is and always will be! It is one of the best hobbies around, and easily the most timeless. Whether you enjoy skimming through the newspaper, or curling up with a good book, reading might be one of the best things you do for yourself and your children! It fosters great imagination and also lets you get in some quality time with your little ones! So pick out a nice book for you, one for your kids, and start turning those pages! Below is a list of some of our favorite children’s books!
If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
Ruby The Copy Cat
The Little Mouse, The Red-Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear 
Are You My Mother?
The Cat In The Hat 
 
What are some of your favorite books?
Broxton is currently enjoying reading the Biscuit books at school and of course we have started reading a few Paddington books too!  I loved Amelia Bedelia books and the Baby Sitter Club books! 
Don't wait for a National Reading Day event to enjoy the love of reading and sharing books with your child!   Make it a movie night soon, watch the Book Of Life and then head to the library to grab a few books to enjoy as a family!

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...

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on... ...
