These are 2 cute little stuffed toys that were sent to our house to help Santa and the elves deal with Christmas...   With the Roaming Reindeer Kit, you get a hard cover book and 2 adorable plush reindeer.  They even have shirts on them that say 1 and 2. (Don't want you mixing them up!)   In Roaming Reindeer, we learn that Santa and the elves are so busy that they need a bit of help to see how the kids are doing... The next thing you know, the reindeer are paired up in groups of 2 to go to all the houses of the world.  If your little one is on their best behavior, they both stay... but if one starts to act up, Reindeer 1 will sneak away to let Santa know that there is a problem.  The great ...

Until December 21st, those that are in Atlanta can go visit Santa someplace special...  In a CASTLE!!!  That is right, right in Atlanta on Peachtree Street.   Broxton was pretty excited about seeing the Castle and truth be told, I was excited as well... I had never been in there before, so I wanted to check it out!   The "Castle on Peachtree Street" is also known as Rhodes Hall and it is part of the Georgia Trust of Historic Preservation.   During the month of December, it hosts Santa on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and allows for families to make one of a kind memories during the hustle and bustle of the holidays. You do pay $38 per family, but a benefit is that parking is FREE and th...

As a mom, I am always learning about new trends and products daily...  A bit ago, I learned of The Magic Christmas Key ... I had never heard of it before and I tell you, I am so excited that I was made aware... The Magic Christmas Key is more than a key... and more than a book... The Magic Christmas Key is a new tradition getting ready to start at our house!!! This book tells the story of a little boy that spots a Magic Key while out with his grandfather.  He asks his grandfather about it and is given the special key, as long as he BELIEVES in the Magic Of Christmas...  He is told to guard the key with extra safety, as it can cause trouble if in the wrong hands...   The story line of...

Yesterday, I shared that I wanted to do a book countdown for Christmas (credit goes to wherever I saw it online to start with, I can not remember now where it was) The book yesterday was also from Time for Kids...  It was X Why Z ...   (geared for kids 4-6 years old, although I enjoyed reading it myself... I always knew I was a kid at heart!) Today, Time for Kids - Big Book of Why : Crazy, Cool and Outrageous . I can not seem to seem to find an age on this one, so I am not sure what age it is geared to. All I do know is that it is pretty crazy, cool and outrageous!!!!  Contents: Human Body - Body Parts, Body Systems, Senses, Emotions, Gross Stuff, Diseases Animals - In the Wild, Reptiles...

There, I said it...  I know, Halloween hasn't happened yet, but you know... Halloween and  Thanksgiving, they just fly by and then the next thing you know... CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE!!!! You know, there are only 8 more Wednesdays until the Big One...  Anyways, I want to try and have traditions and make wonderful memories with all the boys...   So, a couple years ago, I thought it would be awesome to start a family ornament each year...   I normally wrap it up as a family gift and then they get all excited when I unwrap it and they see it is the newest one...  But this year, since we h...

With all the social websites these days, I am not sure where I saw it first...  Facebook?  Pinterest?  Blog?  A random website?   Anyways, I saw where parents were taking books...  YES BOOKS  and wrapping them up...  Then, they did a countdown to Christmas and each night they let the kids unwrap a book.   I love this idea... you know how much we love books here.. I have now decided that I want to try this with Broxton this year... and I think it will be fun with some of the books to have when his brothers are here!   I will say, I have not decided if I am going to go with 25 books or just 12...    I also have not decided the order of...

Okay, so now that I have your attention... Let me explain! Of course, I would love to see a bit of snow, but none of that craziness from last year... I am actually referring to the pearly whites of my teeth! Until I had the chance to work with Rembrandt, I really had not used it that much... But now, I am a Rembrandt girl! I love it! The way my mouth feels so clean. My breath so fresh! My My My!!!! Rembrandt wants YOU to have visions of sugar plums dancing in your head, while not worrying about the stain!!!! Not only will you get items for oral hygiene, you will also get a few special treats for baking!!! Talk about continuing a tradition, or making new ones!!!!!! Just look at the arrangement of items I was sent: A gingerbread making kit, peppermint spatula, and an apron for both mom and child, all packed together in a reusable snow flake grocery tote containing REMBRANDT ®, REACH® and LISTERINE® oral care products.
