 ***Disclosure: As a USFG Blogger, I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** t's that time of year, everyone! The Holiday shopping season is upon us! (At least it is if you're like me and get an early start to avoid the mad rush of frazzled, last-minute shoppers in December!)
For the 2014 Holiday season, I will be featuring tons of great gift ideas for babies, kids, men, women, pets, and even for the person who has everything. We all have some of those on our gift lists, don't we? There will even be loads and loads of chances to win many of the gifts I am featuring. How cool is that?! You can check out my 2015 Holiday Gift Guide at any time from now till Christmas. Make sure to check often, as it will be growing by the day! Today, I want to focus on the men in our lives. They sure do work extra hard during the year to make sure that their families are well-taken care of. Dan is a service manager at a busy automotive repair shop, and some weeks, he works 70+ hours. Since he does so much for us every day, I definitely want to make sure he gets more than a little spoiled during the Holidays. He sure does deserve it! One thing my overly-practical husband always seems to want is a good, high quality pair of boots. He wears boots most days, and actually prefers them over tennis shoes. Being on his feet all day is tough, so his boots have definitely got to be made to take daily use, and often abuse. The el-cheapo pairs you can purchase at the local super-centers simply don't hold up.

Editing Photos Is Simpler Than Ever With @AdobeElements at @BestBuy #BestLifeEver #PSE #Ad10/30/2015  ***Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.*** Now that the Holiday season is drawing near, people are taking tons of photos. Okay, if you're a blogger, chances are you take tons of photos all year long. I know I do, at least. Whether it's pictures of the kids and pets, products I have to review, or even just what I am making for dinner, it seems I am always taking pictures.
I also have a confession to make: I recently got a fancy DSLR camera, but I am pretty darn clueless as to how to properly use it. Until I learn all of the settings, I am shooting in automatic mode and praying for the best. It blows my old camera out of the water, but still, I find myself wishing I could get more out of my photos. Until my skills improve, I am not a pro by any means.  Okay, I am a woman, and like most women, I have a love affair with shoes. The cuter and more comfortable, the better! ABEO, biomechanical footwear and a leading comfort footwear brand, has announced celebrity Chef Anne Burrell, host of Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America,” as their new brand ambassador. ABEO, started in 2010 and has quickly grown to become the world’s fastest growing comfort footwear brand. ABEO infuses advanced biomechanical technology into modern shoe designs for superior support and comfort to enhance total body health and overall wellness. Plus, they're cute. I absolutely LOVE the look of these adorable clogs, don't you? Who says comfort has to be dull, bland, and boring?
Anne Burrell is known for her trademark spiky blonde hair and dynamic personality, the partnership introduces the first celebrity brand ambassador for ABEO and is in conjunction with the introduction of the brand’s highly-anticipated clog collection featuring new B.I.O.system designs; the world’s first customized clogs with built-in-orthotics.

Anyone who knows me knows one thing to be true: I NEED my coffee, or else all is definitely not right with the world. I call coffee my "Go Juice", since it helps me to wake up and feel alert and energized enough to homeschool, blog, and chase my kiddos around all day. If I don't have coffee, I just don't function properly. Kind of like a car sputtering because it's almost out of gas. I'm sure some of you can relate, right? Any coffee lovers out there?
I admit, when it comes to my coffee, I am pretty picky. I strongly prefer flavored, gourmet-style coffee to plain. I will drink unflavored coffee, but I might pout a little bit. Or a lot. Depends on the day, I suppose. Dan, however, typical guy that he is, prefers unflavored coffee. Sigh. What a conundrum. Thankfully, Folgers Flavors are the perfect solution that not only makes both of us happy, but also saves us tons of money. After all, all of those decadent coffee shop creations are pretty expensive. Zombies In the Graveyard Halloween Treats Featuring Sour Jacks Candy #Halloween #Sponsored10/25/2015  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary product to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Halloween is literally right around the corner. My kids are absolutely flipping out, because Daddy has a week off of work, and we will be doing plenty of fun things to celebrate. Hayrides, trick or treating, and maybe even Boo at the Zoo. (Provided they're still running it. I need to check the dates!) The best part of any holiday is seeing the kiddos having fun.
One way we like to spend quality time with the little ones is by making fun, festive treats. The easier, the better. For one, I am no Betty Crocker. I can cook my butt off, but when it comes to desserts, I am absolutely hopeless. I'm basically a Pinterest fail, waiting to happen when I attempt baking. Second, my kids love to help in the kitchen. The little ones are only 4 and 5, so we try to keep things as simple as possible so they can help out, too.

No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** I'm a fairly low-maintenance kind of gal. I basically live in Yoga pants and a comfy top, and while I keep my fingernails polished, I don't panic if they break. My hairstyle of choice? Well, my hair is super-thick, wavy, and L-O-N-G. You guessed it: Most days I sport a ponytail or a messy bun.
Sure, I clean up nicely when I need to, but in general, comfort is key. If I find things that are comfortable but look good, too? Well, that is like hitting the jackpot, in my opinion. That's why I am head over heels for BZees shoes. I recently discovered this brand, and I have to say, I am in LOVE. They offer tons of fashion-forward, on-trend styles that are designed with your blissful comfort in mind. Whether it's sandals, slip-ons, boots or wedges you're craving, BZees has you covered. I actually put their Decadent Winter Boots at the tippity-top of my Holiday wish list this year. Here in NE Ohio, it snows. A lot. And it's cold. A lot. I need these boots in my life.  ***Disclosure:As a LeapFrog Mom Ambassador, I receive products, promotional items, and educational material to use and share as I see fit. However, any opinions expressed by me are honest and reflect my actual experience.*** As a LeapFrog Mom, I know that learning doesn't have to be a bore. The days of kids groaning loudly because their parents want them to do something (gasp) educational are long gone. That's because the folks at LeapFrog understand that children learn new skills most effectively when they're entertained and engaged. Learning can be fun, and LeapFrog has mastered the art of fun.
Recently, I was introduced to a few new LeapFrog products that would make wonderful gifts this Holiday season. Or today. Why wait? I'm totally guilty of doing special things for the kiddos, just because. Any day is a great day to encourage learning, after all!

Like many others during this time of year, I am excited about the Holidays. I love seeing family and friends, and of course, watching my kids' eyes light up when they open their gifts. While this time of year is joyous, it's also important to remember that not everyone is as fortunate as we are. In many other parts of the world, families struggle for basic necessities like food, shelter, clothing, and even safe drinking water. |
