TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST
TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST About ‘“Gruff”: The heartwarming story explores the ancient myth of a mysterious creature whose distant roar sparks the curiosity of Tinker Bell’s friend Fawn, an animal fairy who’s not afraid to break the rules to rescue the NeverBeast before time runs out. The fairies meet Gruff who is a massive creature and the subject of an ancient Pixie Hollow myth. Hidden in a dark lair on the fringes of the fairies’ beloved home, Gruff is discovered by curious and empathetic animal fairy Fawn, who sees something special in his glowing green eyes.

DOLE No Sugar Added Fruit Bowls Review & Giveaway!
** I was provided with product for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. DOLE No Sugar Added Fruit Bowls Review & Giveaway! It is no secret that the holiday season is usually filled with sugar and sweets. That is why it is especially important to teach healthy eating on all of the other days. One of the ways that I can know my family is eating healthy is to purchase DOLE No Sugar Added Fruit Bowls! These delicious fruit bowls are not sweetened with artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup. Instead DOLE has opted to sweeten their fruit with Monk Fruit! Plus the fruit is packed in water instead of syrup! Wondering what Monk Fruit is? Monk fruit is a melon which is vine ripened in Central Asia. The Monk fruit is harvested by hand and has been used by Monks (hence the name) for over 800 years for its health benefits. Oh and of course the sweetness since Monk fruit is 150 times sweeter then … [Read more...]
Put Your Kids Health First With Nature Made! #ad
I received a sample of Nature Made Children’s Vitamins for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. Put Your Kids Health First With Nature Made! If you are an avid reader of my blog then you know that this year I have committed to taking healthier steps in my life. This not only includes focusing on my health but also the health of those in my family. This includes making sure that we are all getting the vitamins and minerals that we need to stay healthy. Recently I visited a local health food store and started talking to one of the employee's about vitamins for my daughter. The first brand that the employee picked up was the Nature Made vitamins. She told me that it was her "go to" brand for her children because Nature Made offered everything she would need to stay healthy. We of course also discussed how cold it is getting here in Colorado and how all of the kiddo's seem to be getting sick....except for … [Read more...]
Parents and Kids Both Love PomTree’s Mess-Free Fun
** I was provided with some PomTree's Mess-Free Fun kits for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. Parents and Kids Both Love PomTree's Mess-Free Fun My daughter could spend every waking moment of her life doing crafts. She loves to make new things that she can play with. Recently I was sent some fun PomTree's Mess-Free Fun kits to review. These were kits that I was excited for because there is no glue and no mess! That is always a bonus in my book. There is also no need to purchase anything extra to complete these crafts. Every single thing you need is already there and ready to go! The first craft my daughter decided to make was these adorable PomTree Mommy & Baby Owl Pom Pals Kit. Once we got the kit opened up and on the table I realized that everything was perfect for her age. She is 9 and I did not have to help her at all. She loved sticking things together and onto the PomTree owls. It was fun to … [Read more...]
Dangers of Distracted Driving
Dangers of Distracted Driving I have lost three friends to drinking and driving. It was a heart breaking incident in my small town where everyone knows everyone. Drinking and driving has always been a problem but most recently that is not the biggest driving mistake that I am seeing on the news. More and more there are adults and teenagers getting in trouble for texting and driving. Many drivers think that they can handle focusing on their phone and on the road at the same time. They think that they can pay attention to both things at once. Unfortunately that is just not the case. I don't care how good of a driver you are...or how quick of a texter. It is still dangerous and should be avoided at all times. Is there really a text message so important that it is worth your life or the life of others? Many states have taken a stand on texting and driving. But unfortunately I don't think they are doing enough. Drinking and driving is outlawed in all states while texting and driving is … [Read more...]
Fusion of Religion and Technology
Fusion of Religion and Technology The pulpit is no longer the only platform for spreading the word of God to Christians. Many pastors take advantage of modern technology in order to reach out to other followers. It's common practice for a small congregation to have a professional website that provides people with a variety of resources. For example, virtual calendars can be posted in order to inform members of weekly services and other special events that might go on. Church leaders also utilize mobile technology to stay connected to followers. For instance, text messages can be sent out to all individuals who have chosen to receive reminders about Sunday service, special ceremonies and other select gatherings. Taken to another level, some pastors might even join forces with IT programmers who can develop custom mobile apps. Each day, a passage from the bible can pop up on smartphones and tablets that have downloaded applications designed and developed by church … [Read more...]

50’s Vintage Style Tea Party Dress
50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress ** I was sent a 50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. My Thoughts On The 50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress From Hip Hop 50's Shop I have to say I rarely wear dresses, it's not that I don't love them, because I do. But mainly on other women, just not myself. I have a hard time finding the right style to fit my body type and be comfortable enough to keep me from self doubting myself the entire time it's on. It is what it is but when I received this adorable 50's Vintage Style Tea Party Dress I had a feeling it might just be a match made in heavenly bliss. First let me start off by saying this dress was designed with a woman's body in mind. The straight cut across with the accent bow was a great touch. It wasn't too goddy or frilly by any means and with the hint of black netting on the bottom it became my ultimate … [Read more...]

I Love Living In Colorful Colorado!
I Love Living In Colorful Colorado! Colorado is so beautiful this time of year. This past weekend I was able to spend some time in the mountains with my family. Check out some of the beautiful colors that we were able to see! The drive up the mountain was simply beautiful! My family and I had never been up this mountain before so everything was new to us. It was stunning! There was moss blanketing many of the rocks. One of the last days for this little flower. As of today that mountain flower is covered in snow....... Even the grass is changing colors for fall..... The Yellow colors were breathtaking My Mom was also taking pictures of the stunning colors. The kids had a blast running all over the mountain. Morning dew was gathered on many of the fallen leaves. So many beautiful colors! I love you Colorado! Do you enjoy looking at fall colors? … [Read more...]
Pass Out More Then Just Candy This Halloween!
** I was provided with product for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. Pass Out More Then Just Candy This Halloween! This year instead of passing out plain ol' candy I have decided to change things up a bit. Thanks to Oriental Trading Company I was able to score some amazing toys, crafts and fun candy for the kids to enjoy! I can't wait to see the looks on the trick or treaters faces this year as they are handed fun candy and a few toys! This year we will also be having a huge Halloween party at church and I decided to host a fishing game booth...of course all of my fishing game prizes came from Oriental trading. I can't wait! I have read a lot of reader comments on previous posts recently telling me that they want new ideas for passing out at Halloween instead of candy. With so many food allergies and such it is hard to make sure you have something for everyone. That is where Oriental Trading Company comes … [Read more...]
