I love finding books in a series for Broxton (and Savannah) as I know that I love books by the same author, so I am sure they will too.  We were recently sent Larry Gets Lots in Prehistoric Times and I thought it was super cute.  It is a great way to let the kids read and have fun, but also sneak in a fun bit of education as well!   ' 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.

Larry Gets Lost has several books.  I hope we will add more to our collection down the road.  It says that this book is for 3-6 year olds.  Are you familiar with Larry? In this book, he falls asleep in the lap of his person, Pete.  Pete is having to read and do homework.  Well, seems that Larry hears Pete reading and dreams of him being...

I know people like to give books for gifts, so here is one I thought I would share about Central Park. I know I loved visiting it when I was there, so I am sure kids would love to read about the adventures!

Even the simplest of activities or plainest of places can be turned into an enchanted experience in the imagination of a child. Imagine when a child dreams about a location as large and extraordinary as Central Park, nestled in the heart of New York City. What must come to life in their imagination? Marcus Meesters captures this magic in his newest children’s book,  The Central Park Tales . Reminiscen...

Want a cool website to send them to so that they can spend it?  Look at Kidz Entertainment .  They really do have "kidz entertainment" and I know kids will love it. Savannah will be getting the 3 in 1 cuddly fun  brown dog for Christmas this year. She loves stuffed animals right now, so I know she will like this. Not only is it a cute dog for her to play with, it is also a bag and a hand warmer!   She will love it!   I can't wait to see her face with it. She has decided she likes bags now and Marc even said she needed her a little girl purse.  ha ha ha.   Broxton...

Want to know what I have found that is absolutely AMAZING?   Han's Old Fashioned Crumb Cake .  You order it online and ship it fresh to them. You can set up a date you want and then give them a card telling them that once the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over, you have an ...

What will everyone wear???  I was lucky enough to get a chance to review a couple pair of nice pants for Marc and Broxton, so they are finally covered.  It hit me, I don't know when Marc got new dress pants, so I was so excited to see him wearing them. Marc has new Nanotex Wool Pants from Banana Republic.  I love when he reviews for me... He said "They were heavy enough to keep me warm when it got windy, but they were breathable enough to not make me sweat in South Georgia."    He also said he liked the fact that they were lightweight and seemed to be pretty roomy, great for the over 3 hour road trip ho...

Loot Crate is at it again, rolling out another box of awesomeness just in time for me to put a few gifts under the tree this year!!!  Everyone knows that our house loves speed, so I was beyond thrilled for this box to arrive.  (Not to mention the box transforms into a car!)  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.

Yeah, just like a kid with excitement!!!   Broxton has claimed the box as his and that is fine with me. Savannah likes them too, for stacking, but since this was a car, he has enjoyed playing with it.  You can't say that it doesn't look awesome. I think I am still loving the pins and we h...

You know how you see something and you want it really, REALLY bad?  You get it and you are so excited...   then BOOM-- things happen?  Yeah, that is totally what happened with me.  I have been seeing people posting awesome pictures from their phone using Limelens smartphone lenses and I knew I just had to have it.  I was so lucky to get to review one for you guys...  Then, my phone lens cracked and I could not use my camera... so I had to postpone it.  Finally got a new (refurbished) phone and was all excited, boom... it broke... got a new (refurbished) phone and again... BROKE. Can you tell I am not having much luck?  Anyways, I wanted to tell you about Limelens, so I am sharing, but I don't have photos to show from my experience.  Stay tuned...  on instagram... I am NOT giving up!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:   The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR ...
