Beautiful Ornaments at Joy To The World #Review

 To know me is to love me, right?  If you know me, you know I am a sentimental person. I love keepsakes and I am all about something specialized for the recipient.  You might also know I ABSOLUTELY love Christmas ornaments.  
Fun fact - I absolutely despise putting up a Christmas tree.  Well, I hate the lights part of it all... but that is why I have a pre-lit tree these days!  But- I get so frustrated in putting on my ornaments.  First of all, I take a trip down memory lane looking and thinking about each and every single one...  Then, it is the making sure they are placed on correctly, spaced out and not all bunched up and all that good stuff.  Now, I just let the kids put them on and it is a conglomerate of ornaments here and there... and that is ALRIGHT with me... it is all about the memories, right?  At one point, we had several trees in our house.  One that was full of all sorts of ornaments, one that was more of the "gold plated travel ornaments" and then one that was the personalized ones that we get each year.  Now, I just sort of rotate what goes on and what is saved for another year.  But, I still go through all the boxes and remember the who/ what / when / where / why of each one.  
I was given the opportunity to review an ornament from Joy To The World and let me tell you this, they are absolutely beautiful!!!!!

With all of the ornaments that go on our tree, you can GUARANTEE that there will be a couple ornaments that celebrate the University of Georgia.  We are a bulldog family (still working on Matt, but that is for another day!)  We have UGA items through the house year round - we currently have a  UGA/ BAMA house divided door wreath hanging up...   just to be clear... UGA is dominant in the house, but we have some BAMA for Matt.  ha ha ha.
Anyways, I got to looking at the Joy To The World site and the ornaments are absolutely beautiful!  
I really had a hard time picking the one I wanted to get, but decided to go with the UGA one. Matt and I took a vacation to Charleston this summer, so part of me really wanted to get one of the Charleston ornaments, but to be honest, I could not decide between the Santa one or the luggage tag one..  Check them out, they are both beautiful!!!
As I said, hard choices!  I decided on the UGA one since I have an ornament stand I wanted to use.. but once it got here, I did not like the way it looked on the stand and thought it was better just sitting.  So yes, we have a Christmas ornament sitting on our shelf in the summer!  I might add it to the tree at Christmas, might not... have not decided yet!

I love the Santa's and think we might try to start this as a collection/tradition to add a new one/ location each year!

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...

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!!!!...
