With my name being Noelle, you know people comment about this being my time of year.  Actually, we were recently talking about making cookies and what not and I admitted that I was not a baker. They then threw out "with a festive name like Noelle, you need to bake, especially during the holidays!"  Thanks to Trudeau, I will be baking with the kids this season! Have you seen all the goodies they have?  Perfect for many people on your list!    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.

Trudeau has so many cool gadgets, you could really make the most memorable day ever using their different products.  I want the egg ring that is shaped like a heart. I know Broxton would be so excited to see breakfast like that one morning. For those creative and romantic, I wanted to share with you what you could purchase to make Valentines so memorable. Start with breakfast in bed... eggs and pancakes shaped like hearts!!!!   Get the day started with a jolt using your bedside espresso maker!  After that, have a great day at work.  Go enjoy dinner out and then come home to settle in.  Have dessert at home with your new fondu pot (or make heart shaped candies) and finish it off with a nice bottl...

Can you believe that Valentines Day is almost here?  Seriously, I know that the days of the year don't change (nor do the hours and minutes in a day)... but good grief, it seems like time is flying by. Maybe because we are so busy that it seems that way?  I am not sure... Anyways, you always hear about "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" and other sayings like that...   Also, you hear about "love languages"  so my question to you is this... What are your thoughts for Valentines this year? You can go traditional and give chocolate and flowers, or you could take it even further. Why not make a gift basket full of gifts from Trudeau ?  No, I am not saying just give a bunch of ki...

That being said, living in Atlanta and having my own family, we normally host Christmas at our house.  It just makes it easier (we did try rotating each year, but that wasn't working out) and in doing so, I am the one that cooks all the food.   Well, I cook the side dishes, the desserts are normally store bought... but Marc is always in charge of the meat.  That became his thing a couple years ago and he has enjoyed doing it... until it is time to check the meat.  The first time, we could not find our meat thermometer, so my brother brought his... but it did not work.  We made do, but then last year rolled around and we had the same issue.....

I will be the fist to admit I am not a big coffee drinker.  I do enjoy a nice cup on occasions... like when we are on vacation... or if it is really cold...  but when I do have a cup, I want it to be a nice and sweet drink.  Not just plain coffee.  Plain and Black?  Leave that to my dad and brother.   When the single cup servers came out, I was all over wanting one... I asked for one for Christmas... I left hints (such as emailing links of it) and yet 2 holidays have come and gone... with no Keurig for me.   Then, the cold came this year... and it seemed like Marc was stopping at the store to grab a nice hot beverage more and more... (Yes, if he was headed home, he would br...
