If your house is anything like mine, you have plenty of "things."  Why not change it up this year and give more "memories" or experiences?  We recently had the invitation to go see what all is going on at The College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia.  The kids and I have been in the past and had a great time, so this time we wanted to invite the biggest College Football Fan we knew... my dad!   The kids were SO EXCITED to get to take him somewhere and it was a trip that they had been looking forward to.   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.

Ryan's World.  Yep, I said it!!!  Are you familiar with this kid?  Well,let me back up.. do you have a small child in your life?  Do they watch You Tube?  If so, you have probably heard of Ryan.  He has a channel and Savannah loves watching it.  She put Ryan's World Toys on her Christmas list and looking at  the kids in her class, she isn't the only one!  (I even noticed one had on a Ryan's World t-shirt at school!)  When I heard that Ryan's World now had a gift pack in collaboration with Colgate, I knew I would want to get one for her.  Lucky for her, we received one for review, so she got an early surprise this holiday season!   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.

If you have been following me on social media, you know that we have been to The Rock Ranch on several occasions and we always have a great time.  We love going to spend the day there.  We try to be the first to arrive (good parking! and more time there) and crazy enough, we seem to be the last ones to leave.  We have gone before Savannah was born, meaning Broxton and even an older brother... and of course now with the little princess of the family.  We were recently invited to visit and check out their "Country Christmas" and I was thankful that we did.  As a mama of 2 on a budget, I was wondering if it would be worth the money and time to go.  I mean, if you go for the DAY, it is great... but just to ride through a mile of lights and drive almost 2 hours to get there, I was not sure on that one!    FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or repr...

Picking up where A Dog’s Purpose left off, A Dog’s Journey, available on Digital on August 6, 2019, as well as on Blu-rayTM, DVD and On Demand on August 20, 2019, continues the tale of lovable farm dog Bailey, as he finds a new destiny and forms an unbreakable bond, and learns that some friendships transcend lifetimes.

Backpack!  Backpack!!!  I will go ahead and tell you that we never were much on Dora or Diego around here.  I mean, honestly, I thought Diego was her brother...  but when we saw the previews for the Dora Movie, we put that on our list that we just had to watch!  Unfortunately, we had a few set backs and didn't make it to the movies, but I was thrilled at the chance to have a movie night at home with the kids and watch!  (Oh, and to learn that Diego is actually her COUSIN.  oops!)  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.

Yesterday was a much needed day for the kids and I.  This past year has been pretty much a lot for us all...  Going from seeing my mom all the time to not that often with her diagnosis of Breast Cancer being a main one. ( She is doing pretty well for the most part, I just really don't want to take my kiddo's around her while her immune system is compromised and she has been on "house arrest" so she says with her numbers being low at times.)  So, like I said... a fun family day was just what we needed.    Headed to the main entrance.   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.
