I keep trying to think of gifts to give to people that already have everything they could want or need. To me, that means thinking of a fun gift that they might not normally buy for themselves.  One thing for me?  I think face masks (for your skin) are just too cool and I really want to try them all out. Since I don't really take care of my skin, I think that is great that I am interested in this.  I really want to try out all the different sheet masks out there, but I have been eager to see what the mud mask is all about as well.  Lucky for me, I was sent some great products for review.  Mud Mask and "fancy" shampoo! Why yes, thank you.  I would love to pamper myself!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency  for the sole purpose of product testing.

Broxton loves to build.  He loves building blocks, but he will also build with just about anything he can get his hands on.  Yes, that includes taking my wooden domino's and using them to build walls for his army men. When I was given the chance to review a new toy out there, BRACKITZ, I knew this would be fun for all of us!

Opinions expressed are my own and are not influenced by monetary compensation. I thought the Brackitz set was loads of fun.  They come in fun colors and are perfect sized for little hands and big ones too!   The only thing I did not like?  For some reason, all toys / games/ building sets don't seem to come in a storage system to my liking.  I understand cutting down on cost by packing in light cardboard packaging, but even if it was a plastic bin, it would be be

I know that in some houses Santa fills the stockings for the kids.  Other houses use the stockings to be cute places to put smaller gifts for all of the family members.  If you are looking for a great stocking stuffer for any of the females in your life, why not look at giving them a gift of great skin care??  Belli Skin Care is great for expecting moms and new moms, but it doesn't mean that it isn't great for those of us that have kids a little older.   I mean, hey, I still use "baby" products on my children and neither think they are babies now.  (1 going on 21 and 7 going on 27)  FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

I might not be the one to call if you want to win any trivia on any Disney Princess questions, but I do have a few that I know and love.  Beauty and the Beast is an insant classic and I start singing the songs in my head as soon as I hear the title!  Remember, I am in my late 30's so it has been a minute since I have seen many of the Disney Classics that I could never talk my son into watching.  That is alright though, because Savannah will get to watch them all and (hopefully) fall in love with them like I did!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Have you been to see Santa yet?  We were invited to go and check out the Adventure To Santa at North Point mall here recently and we had a great time.  Broxton was in school, so Savannah and I headed out for a "girls" trip. Have you ever heard of Adventure to Santa?  It really is pretty cool!!!!

Like I said, it is Adventure to Santa and the one here in Atlanta is at North Point Mall.  The Adventure to Santa is tied in with Dreamworks Pictures and this year we had the chance to catch a ride (well, drive it actually!)  with Po from the Kung Fu Panda movies. If you have been here a while, you might remember last year was with Shrek and Savannah was NOT a fan of the sleigh ride. This year she LOVED the
