Savannah is TOTALLY OBSESSED with Wicked!  When I got this email, I knew that I had to share it with everyone else, just in case someone else might "need" to know this like I know we "needed" to know!  I can bet that this house will for sure be watching the Rose Bowl Parade this year!!!!  WHAT: Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is thrilled to partner with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® to bring the magic of  WICKED  to the 136th Rose Parade®, celebrating the highly anticipated in-home release which is available exclusively on Digital platforms to purchase or rent December 31st.  The float appropriately entitled, “Defying Gravity,” features larger-than-life depictions of the two main characters, Elphaba and Glinda, poised on either side of the Emerald City, commemorating their profound friendship as they journey to the magnificent land of Oz.  Created in collaboration with the talented team at Phoenix Decorating Company, the float includes captiv...

 I was just talking to a friend about how time flies so fast and the next thing you know, your "babies" aren't babies anymore.  I was discussing wanting to try and make some cookies on Christmas Eve and I am so excited to know that we have the Silicone Mats to use this year!  To be honest, I have heard that these things are absolutely AMAZING, but we don't bake enough to use them... so I have been hesitant to purchase them. Fun Fact: I actually put them on my wish list and then BOOM- we were given the chance to share them on the blog!  Winner Winner, bake some cookies for after dinner!!!!

I just know I can not be the only one who sees things on social media and wonders if it is legit or not... Right?  I also know I can't be the only one who wonders how some of the ads pop up on my Facebook... but that is for another day.  Anyways -  as I was scrolling on Facebook one day, an ad popped up for THE LOUD CUP.  I thought that was a pretty neat idea, but did not really think it would be that great at a loud football game.  Kept on scrolling, to be honest.  Then, it popped up on my Instagram.  and Facebook.  and Instagram again.  You get the picture.  At this point, curiosity was getting awful close to killing the cat, so yeah- I was giving this cup some thought. Broxton plays football - we love cheering him on, but let me be honest, I can only BE SO LOUD.  I went for it - I reached out to THE LOUD CUP to see if they might be interested in working together... and it got loud around here when our cups arrived!!!!

 As Christmas approaches, you might be trying to think of those last couple gift ideas ...  Well, I have one for you!  GoSili reusable silicone straws!  Yep!  We have used them in the past - and the fact that they have different sizes makes it that much better!   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. Opinions expressed are  my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I personally love the fact that the GoSili brand has travel containers to help you while on the go!  Just throw them in your bag and you are good to go!  Each family member can have their own and no longer an issue.  I have been a few places that don't even allow straws and to be honest, I feel as though I must have a straw when drinking out in public... I have noticed I don't drink with them that...

I don't know about you- but I love smelling good.  The thing is, some of these fragrances are SKY HIGH and while I might enjoy them, I can't go broke trying to smell as good as some of these think they are.  I have a good friend that is OBSESSED with scents and she is always asking if I have heard of this or that... Have I had the chance to smell this or the other... Like ALL THE TIME - Lucky for me, she gets fragrances and samples almost daily and is quick to bring them in for me to smell and some times she is just like, go ahead and take it, I have another bottle at home!   WHAT?!   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.

It was sooooooo good!  Matt is a huge Oreo lover, I can't lie ...

Babies... There isn't anything quite like them.  They are just so sweet and innocent and I just love the baby smell and snuggles!  I'm out of the baby making stage of life- and my kids are too young to be in it yet... but, my coworkers are and Marc's boys are... and I just love my little nephew.  Granted he just turned 2, so he isn't a "baby" these days.. but he is my sweet baby boy when I get to love on him!  I was introduced to Muslin blankets when Savannah was born and I just don't know how I lived without them with Broxton!  They are perfect and I honestly think they are a great gift.  First time parents and seasoned ones can enjoy and benefit from the array of Muslin blankets in the drawers!!!!  ( I have a large one on my amazon wish list .. not even gonna lie!)   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 pur...
