  My Thoughts on See's Candy I am so excited for Easter this year. With Easter comes warmer months and spring time flowers. Oh and don't forget Easter Candy! Yum! Recently I was sent an amazing package from Sees.com. They are my one stop shop this year for Easter Candy and I must say that I was thrilled with the quality and taste of everything that arrived. Sees Candy Lollypops - The Sees Gormet Lollypops come in 4 different flavors. Butterscotch, Chocolate, Vanilla and Cafe Latte. The box was stuffed full of lollypops and contained 3 of each flavor. They were also a good sized lollypop and I was able to enjoy the flavors for a long time! Yum! My favorite lollypop flavor is the vanilla. It has a milky and smooth taste. Positively amazing! These are truly something I will be purchasing in the near future. See's Candy Awesome Nut & Chew Bar - Oh my...this is my new favorite candy bar. I am not even joking. It really is amazing.

My Thoughts on Santa Paws 2 The Santa Pups   I love the Santa Paws movies. They are very cute and filled with Christmas cheer. I received Santa Paws 2 The Santa Pups for the purpose of this review.

They are so excited about what they can do with their magic but instead of doing the things they are supposed to do to get their magic they decide to do it in a not so good way...by stealing someone else's magic and going on an adventure that no one knows about.....

51wPVCMDIQL._SL500_AA300_

  My Thoughts on The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa Recently I was sent a copy of The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa for the purpose of this review. I must say that I was not expecting much and I did not get much with this DVD. To be honest I am a strict parent when it comes to what the kids watch on T.V. The truth is I have lots of cartoon's blocked because I can not stand to listen to the rude and vulgar language of many of today's cartoons. Rude and vulgar is exactly what I got with this DVD. I should have expected that since the front cover of the DVD case shows a gummy bear in his underwear. Within the first 10 minutes of this DVD there was farting noises as well as weight jokes about Santa. Defiantly not the Christmas cheer that I want to share with my family before Christmas. I know that I am uptight when it comes to cartoons but I honestly can't see any age that this would be appropriate for. On the Back When Santa vanishes on Christmas Eve Gummibar and his … [Read more...]

My Thoughts on The Muppet Christmas Carol My daughter who is in 2nd grade came home a few weeks ago excited because she was going to be in her first ever play. She get's to be Scrooge in The Christmas Carol at school. She had never before heard of The Christmas Carol and I was excited to let her see it for the first time.....played out by The Muppet's of course!

I feel in love with the great characters and ever since I have went out of my way to watch Gonzo, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog!

Knex MarioKart Wii Review!   My thoughts on the Knex MarioKart Wii Building set – This set is awesome! I am so excited to tell you about this very unique gift!

The Nutcracker in 3D Review!   My thoughts on The Nutcracker in 3D – I was so excited to be able to take my 9 year old daughter to this amazing event! I never would have thought that something so magical such as Tchaikovsky’s beautiful and elegant ballet, The Nutcracker would ever be in 3D and in a movie theater!! We sat in the very back row with our 3D glasses on and we had the best seats in the house! Everything was amazing in 3D….it didn’t matter where we sat actually because it was all right there and beautifully done. Had we been at that actual play, we would have missed so much of the detail! Being in 3D allowed us to see every single sparkle and move which was spectacular! The facial expressions were priceless and to see the ballerinas up close was something I had never seen before. Oh sure, I have seen The Nutcracker play before in person but this was by far the best experience I have had with this play. We were able to see the orchestra, the conductor, … [Read more...]

World Vision Beaded Necklace Review!   My thoughts on the World Vision beaded necklace – This is a necklace that is truly beautiful and captures the true essence of what the upcoming Holidays are all about, giving to others. This necklace is very lightweight and can go with so many outfits. It can be worn long which is 22 inches or you could double it up which I love to do with mine.

The person you gift this to would love to know that their gift also helped children! World Vision is doing something incredible in the world. I believe it is important to show our children that helping others is what we do, year around.

My Thoughts on The Sparkle Box By: Jill Hardie WOW! I have found a new holiday tradition that I will do for years to come! Recently I was sent a copy of The Sparkle Box for the purpose of this review. I was intrigued to read this book as I just had to know what was inside of this magically sparkly box! The Sparkle Box book is about the true meaning of giving. I don't want to giveaway the end of this book but it shows how this gift is the most special of all. There is no gift greater then the gift of giving and when you give to others you are also giving to Jesus. How special! I was also ecstatic to see that this book contains a 'sparkle box' that I was able to fold into this beautiful box you see pictured above. I also found the great LOVE sticker and the gold ribbon in my craft room to make the box extra special. My daughter will be filled with excitement when she lays her eyes on this beautiful sparkle box and just like the Mom in this book I will not tell my daughter … [Read more...]
