No matter what gift giving reason you might have, Story Maps are a great gift to give!!!!
When we bought our house, I knew we had a good amount of wall space and I wanted to officially make it home...  I love my family and wanted pictures of them around, but at the same time, I wanted more than just family photos...  When I was able to review a Story Map from the MyPlaceInTheWorld Etsy shop-  I was so excited since I had the perfect frame already in mind for it!!!!
I ordered the "and they lived happily ever after" print.
We decided to have the heart placed where our HOUSE is...  since we plan on being here forever.
When it arrived, I was very happy with the color of the print and the fact the brown was a rich brown and not a faded out looking color.
One thing I did notice?  It was an " 8x10" print, but it was a bit larger than our frame.  It was not a big deal for me, as I just trimmed the edges for a great fit.  I have noticed that the 8x10 prints we get sometimes are way smaller, so I was very happy that it was large enough to not have to worry about anything showing in the background!  I placed it in the frame I had already had in mind and had Marc hang it up near our front door.
I love the location of the print and I love that it is so perfect for our family!!!
If you are looking for a great gift idea- head on over to see what all is offered at MyPlaceInTheWorld.  I love the variety of different prints that are available.  
From Mothers Day and Fathers Day to wedding gifts and more... 
You are sure to find something that would be perfect on your wall!!!

    That's a neat idea. We had a big old map on our living room wall.

    That's a really cool item. I would want Florida since I don't feel at home anywhere else. And hubby would want Michigan since he loves it here and hates Florida. :)

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...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
