I received a promotional item to thank me for helping spread the word.*** Christmas is a magical time of year, especially when you have a baby in the family. I remember Sophie's first Christmas....She was just days shy of being a year old, and a couple of short weeks away from becoming a big sister. (Yes, Sophie and Xander came back to back, much to our shock.)

The VTech Retro Phone with Connect to Cell
Make more than just calls with this retro-inspired cordless phone from VTech. The style is undeniably '60s, but with Connect to Cell technology, a built-in digital answering system, and caller ID/call waiting on the handset and base, this stylish phone is anything but old fashioned. Key Features Connect to Cell By wirelessly connecting to your cellular phone line, this system allows you to make and receive cellular and landline calls on one convenient home phone. Pair up to two cell phones and have up to two devices actively connected at a time to enjoy high-quality calls, with or without a landline. Contemporary Retro Design Inspired by the classic corded rotary telephone, the LS6191 is a blend of contemporary and retro styles. Face-down Charging The cordless handset rests face down on the charger to maintain this phone's classic look. Rotary-inspired Keypad Dial with the push-button keypad, arranged like a classic rotary telephone dialpad. *** Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** It's that time of year, everyone! The Holiday shopping season is upon us!

Not just any trains, mind you...I mean one of the most loved locomotives on the planet. If you have small children in your life, chances are, you're already quite familiar with Chuggington! My kids absolutely adore this cheerful train, as well as all his friends. They even run around singing the Chuggington theme song. It's really cute, but tends to get stuck in my head. One time, I was even caught singing "Chugga-chugga-Chuggington" in the checkout line at the grocery store. The woman who overheard me must be a mom, herself, because she smiled and gave me a knowing wink. (Awkward!) It's the most wonderful time of the year, a time where we can all go shopping without guilt in the name of "holiday spirit" lol.

A few weeks ago, Viva Veltoro had the opportunity to review Magazines.com and their subscription service and she's loving getting her favorite magazines delivered to her home each month. With the holiday approaching, Magazines.com wanted to give one of our readers a chance to win a BIG gift certificate so they can kick off their holiday shopping! Why give magazine subscriptions as gifts? Well, first of all, they make really thoughtful gifts! With Magazines.com, you can select a title based on your loved one's likes or hobbies.

Magazines.com makes it easy for your recipient to exchange the magazine subscription you chose. All the recipient would have to do is to call their customer service team and they'll assist them with an exchange... super easy! Another reason magazines subscriptions make great gifts is because they're gifts that will keep on giving all year long! Each month, the recipient will get a little gift from you. In our digital age, it's nice to get actual mail and kids especially love getting a little treat in the mail each month. Looking to take care of several people from your holiday list all at once?

Void where prohibited. ***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.*** What is it with guys and electronics? In my home, both my teen and my hubby, AKA "the BIG kid", go absolutely bananas for anything that features new technology. The fancier and more advanced the technology, the more excited my guys seem to get. (In many cases, I can't blame them....There are some pretty amazing products available nowadays!)
Lately, most of the tech-induced drooling in my home has been over the new LG OLED TV at Best Buy. This smart TV is changing the face of home entertainment, one household at a time. I know what you might be thinking. Come on, it's a TV...If you can hear it and see the picture, that's good enough, right? Wrong! Comparing the LG OLED TV to an ordinary television is like comparing Bruno Mars to bad, drunken karaoke. There really is no comparison! ***Disclosure: I participated in the McCormick’s Skillet Sauce® blogger campaign and received compensation as part of the program. As always, all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** With the Holiday season upon us, I have to admit, I am more than a little bit overwhelmed. There's so much to do, and so little time. I have to keep up with my teenage son's busy schedule, entertain and educate 2 preschoolers, keep the house in somewhat presentable condition, and then try and address the growing pile of boxes that contain Holiday Gift Guide review items. Oh, add to that needs of our pets and the fact that I have a marriage, and I am definitely stretched pretty thin lately. I'm actually a bit shocked that I haven't suffered a nervous breakdown, but that's an entirely different post....
Anyway, when I seem to have a zillion things on my plate, I don't always have hours and hours to spend in the kitchen. I love to cook and don't mind preparing elaborate, time-consuming dishes. But let's face it: Sometimes, ain't no one got time for that. What's a stressed out mama to do when hunger strikes and she doesn't have time to leisurely make a 5 course meal? Well, I'll tell you one thing that I do. I make my life easier by keeping some McCormick® Skillet Sauces on hand. They sure come in handy on nights when I am short on time, but don't want to sacrifice flavor. The Heat Storm Mohave Portable Infrared Quartz Heater is the perfect heating solution for bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and craft rooms. Plug this electric heater into your wall outlet and immediately enjoy the warmth. Its Copper Heat Exchanger combines with the humidity in the room to provide soft, moist, safe heat without reducing oxygen or humidity.
One winner will receive a Heat Storm Mojave Heater.Giveaway ends November 26th at 11:59pm, open to US residents, ages 18+. Only one entrant per household, per address. Winner is subject to eligibility verification. Enter using the giveaway form below. Good luck! Disclaimer: The participating bloggers may have been compensated for this post.
