Keep your purse close



My grandmother told me once to never set my purse down on the floor when I'm at a restaurant. That has stuck with me and I always have my bag hanging across my knees while I'm eating. And Yes, it's annoying! Getting a PursePal was the perfect solution. Simply hang this classy accessory on the table and then hang your purse off of it! No more sore knees and your bag is safe! The eye catching crystals are lovely & I love how it collapses down and fits into your purse so easily till next time. While I'm Thankful for my Grandmother's advise, I think I better introduce her to the PursePal tomorrow at lunch;)

A is for Apple

I love having fun magnets on my fridge. I have some that are kept up high and outta reach from the kiddo's but I also have some down below that I encourage them to play with. I just added these totally cool magnets to the kid's collection. Gregoire Ganter has put a new spin on the alphabet. Fun letters, eye catching pictures... the whole family will be reciting the ABC's on a daily basis. Don't worry, same alphabet, just with a modern twist:)

Makin A List

Our grocery bill is HUGE and my boys aren't even teenagers yet! I think part of the problem is I don't really have a plan before I shop & I just end up adding things as I go a long. Someone suggested to me that I should start making a list before I go to store and stick to it! My only problem with making a list is that I try to write it all at once & I still forget things that I need. I've been trying out this nifty SmartShopper Grocery List Maker and it has worked great! It's right on my refrigerator & when I run out of something, I just press record, speak into it and it records the items that I need. When I'm ready to attempt the grocery store I just print it off and take it with me. It organizes everything into categories. So trips to the store are much faster & I've been saving money by planning ahead. They only thing I have to be careful of, is my kids adding things we don't need... well and my husband for that matter, I think he's lovin this new gadget more than me:)
Interested in purchasing a SmartShopper? Be sure to use this exclusive promo code: SM22625 until December 31 to receive $5 off your order. Also, all orders placed between now and December 31 will receive free ground shipping .

A fence, a rock, golf clubs?

I'm a big fan of using the self timer function on my camera but ever tried to find the perfect spot to rest your camera & then race back to the group to get into the picture, only to find out all your heads are cut off because you didn't quite get your camera in the right position on the rock you had to use?! The Gorillapod by Joby is seriously the coolest invention ever. Just connect to the bottom of your camera and attach it to almost anything to get that the perfect shot. With the same concept as a tri-pod, the Gorillapod creates a stable place to rest your camera, only it can travel on any adventure your attempting. Comes in different sizes and colors to fit all your camera needs. I'm so excited about this, I just keep looking for different places to try to hook my Gorillapod on:) We have a red Gorillapod original to giveaway!

#1) A cool place you would use the Gorillapod & which color do you like best.

Savor the taste


One by one I'm slowly saying goodbye to all those generic spices. You know the ones I'm talking about... The ones that seem to take the whole bottle to get a fourth of the flavor needed. I'm clearing out my spice cabinet and making room for the spice blends I found over at Mountain Rose Herbs. Made with all organic ingredients, all you need is seriously a dash of the garlic pepper and you'll make a meal that the whole family will be savoring.
Herbs and spices aren't the only great product from Mountain Rose Herbs. They also make wonderful essential oils, body products and if you're interested in making products of your own, you'll find delightful butters, flavoring extracts & even bottles & packing to get you on your way. You deserve the very best, so give these 100% natural products a try. Trust me, you'll love them.

Make it memorable


Fun, exciting, adventurous... are just a few a the words that came to mind when checking out the personalized products from Frecklebox. My kids love to see their name in print and Frecklebox has everything from books to puzzles to growth charts and coloring books. I ordered a few books for my boys for Christmas and I have to say I am fascinated. Each page takes your imagination to a whole new level & I just love watching how my son's name is displayed differently on each page. I'm so excited about these, I can't wait till Christmas morning:)

Are you pregnant?

Because if you are, you need EVERYTHING from the ingrid & isabel line! Comfy essentials are a must and they have nailed it. Finally clothes that will last through out your whole pregnacy & even after. My favorite is the BellaBand. Make your favorite "non pregnancy jeans" last a little longer & your pregnant belly from showing out the bottom of your maternity shirt. The Everywear Pants and leggings are perfect for lounging & cami tops are a must have for everyday wear. Available online and several retail stores...
Trust me, the only thing you'll find more relaxing, is 1000 tread count sheets:)

Wrap me up please!

I feature a lot of products for children & I'm not kidding when I say "I wish they had this in my size!" This plush blanket from Button is definitely one I wish I could cuddle up in. When I saw in the description that the backing was made from "double puffed minky" that just had soft written all over it, I knew I had to have one. Available in 5 different styles, all of which are some of my favorite designer fabrics. It arrived beautiful and ready for embracing... I haven't been able to stop clinching it:)

"Can I have a drink Mom?"

I am bad when it comes to drinking enough water & I think my bad habits are wearing off on my kids. So, I grabbed myself one of these awesome stainless steel water bottles from EarthLust & I must saying I've been keeping up with my water intake. Not only is my water always cold but it's great to know the water I'm drinking will be cold when I need it & plus I will know that the water I'm drinking is safe. Well minus, the back wash... I can't keep my kids to keep way from my water bottle:)

I can't hear you WHAT?

I have absolutely no musical talent but I do love music and my children do as well. While I tend to listen to music not quite as loud as I used to, my boys think if they have to wear headphones, it's mandatory for it to be blaring! The sound-isolating ear buds from Phonak, called Audéo Perfect Fit Earphones , grabbed my attention quickly. These stylish earphones look great with any Mp3 player but at the same time maintain the levels of sounds that your children are listening too & of course still providing agreat sound quality. While the price tag might seem high, your childs hearing is important, don't you think?
