5 Reasons Clevelanders Should Shop Locally For Jewelry This Holiday Season

Well, Thanksgiving is over, and if you're anything like my family, you just might be existing on creative dishes utilizing heaps and heaps of leftovers. (Cheesy Bacon Mashed Potato Pancakes, anyone?) 

Now that the food comas have worn off, many of us are in a panic to finish shopping for those perfect gifts for loved ones. Here in the Cleveland, Ohio area, this can be a bit daunting. Shoppers have to deal with things like potholes, lack of parking, and even some pretty crazy weather. (Knock on wood....So far, we've had no real "winter weather". It's coming, though. It always does!) 

Kids are fairly easy to shop for. Toys, video games, books....They're a dime a dozen, and available pretty much everywhere. Guys are equally simple. Follow the rules for the kids and just add an extra 0 to the price tag, and you're sure to get it right. (This is expert advice from my 38 year old man-child.) 

​What about those special ladies in your life? Mothers, wives, sisters, or maybe even a soon-to-be fiance? The Holiday season is the perfect time to pop that all important question, after all! 

You get where I'm going with this, right? Yep. One fail proof way to make the holidays brighter than ever for the ladies in your life is to get them something that sparkles and shines. You can NEVER go wrong with the gift of jewelry!

Save 20% On Crab Pot Trees Eco-Friendly Outdoor Holiday Decor #Sponsored

***Disclosure: As a USFG Blogger, I received complimentary product to facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***
When I lived in VA, I saw a lot of pretty unique, regional Holiday decor. Much of this had to do with the area's thriving crabbing and fishing industries. I remember a neighbor had the coolest Christmas tree in her yard, made entirely of upcycled crab pots! When I asked her about it, she told me someone had gotten it for her while visiting North Carolina, but that she wasn't sure where it was purchased exactly. 

So when I received an e-mail from US Family Guide, talking about a campaign featuring Crab Pot Trees, I got really excited. Could this possibly be the same Crab Pot Trees I so enviously drooled over a few years ago in Virginia? 

YES! 

So of course, I hopped right on board. I couldn't wait to check out these pre-lit, attractive, weather-proof trees. The fact that they're made from real crab pots? Well, that just ups the cool factor another notch!

I am sharing this post as part of a collaboration with Bloggin' Mamas and The Hometown All Stars. I received books and other items in exchange for my participation. All opinions expressed are my own. The Hometown All Stars Logo

Do your kids love playing sports and being active? Here in the Cleveland, OH area, sports are a HUGE deal. HUGE. Now if only one of our teams could actually WIN....But that's a different post entirely.

The Hometown All Stars is a book series for children that focuses on teaching early sports skills along with interactive, educational activities, and more importantly – fun! Kids ages 3-7 years old and parents, teachers, librarians, and others who want to promote “Less Screen, More Green” and get kids outside and active again! The Hometown All Stars series is also for parents who don’t know much about baseball and want to be ahead of the curve when their kids begin to play, for sports enthusiasts looking for a book that doesn’t involve talking animals to read at bedtime to their children, and for anyone interested in promoting the love of baseball and sports overall to a new generation. Visit the site at www.TheHometownAllStars.com

HOMETOWN ALL STARS AT A GLANCE

Nick’s Very First Day of Baseball

Nick's Very First Day of Baseball

 Nick’s Very First Day of Baseball teaches children about baseball using real coaching techniques. In this interactive storybook, kids will find hidden baseballs in the pictures, answer trivia questions, and there’s even a page for autographs from their favorite players. Fun, interactive and educational.

This book serves as a wonderful introduction to baseball. Kids will learn a bit about the sport, as well as several new words. There's a lot of info packed into this fun story, and kids are sure to learn a lot about America's favorite pastime. They'll be ready to hit the baseball diamond before you know it!

Magic Bat Day

Magic Bat Day Cover

Magic Bat Day is the first real practice after the Hometown All Stars get their uniforms. Batting is the most fun of all skills and drills! This book concept shows techniques of how to hold the bat and where to stand. Most importantly, it shows that every kid can find their own ‘magic’ bat and the magic within themselves to hit the ball!

This book is really cute, and helps teach little ones proper baseball technique. I remember holding a bat when I was little, and it can be tricky to get it down correctly! I love the fact that this story encourages children to give it their all, and always keep trying! Eventually, they'll be hitting homeruns of their own!

​Hey Newly Crunchy Mama of 3 readers! Morris the Cat, from 9Lives cat food, here. (You may have thought that a cat's only computer skills involve laying on the keyboard while others are trying to use it, but in fact, we are very tech savvy.)
Picture
​For those of you who don't know me, I've starred in over fifty 9Lives cat food commercials, am an advo-cat for kitty rescue, and was even crowned one of Advertising's Greatest Icons by the Museum of Broadcast Communications. (But I must say, I took issue with this honor. I didn't know I was advertising all those years... I just really love 9Lives!)

​The Hydro AIR provides all of the functionality and style of more expensive devices, but offers users the peace of mind that comes with a waterproof, durable phone. Most smartphone failures result from water damage and drops, but Hydro AIR protects against those and more thanks to its waterproof, drop-proof and dust-proof design. So there’s less need to worry about breaking its big, beautiful 5-inch display.
 
With its IPX5 and IPX7 certifications, the Hydro AIR will survive an unexpected shower or water immersion for up to 30 minutes in up to 3.28 feet (1 meter) and the touchscreen can even be operated when wet. And while no phone is indestructible, this one gives you the peace of mind of Military Standard 810G certification for shock and drops, and an IP5X dustproof rating. It comes ready with Google Mobile services including Google Play, Google Hangouts, Gmail and more. The phone also is equipped with a 5MP camera, Stereo Bluetooth, a memory card slot that supports up to 32 GB of extra memory and a long-lasting 2300mAh Lithium ion battery supported by enhanced power-management software.
 
The Kyocera Hydro AIR is available at Walmart for $99 with no contract as part of AT&T’s GoPhone prepaid mobile service. To learn more, visit www.kyoceramobile.com/hydro-air or watch the video.

How To Survive Holiday Overindulgence from About A Mom #PinkRelief #Ad 

11/24/2015

***Disclosure: I’m a Smiley360 blogger and will be receiving Pepto-Bismol product samples to facilitate my honest review and share information with my readers.***
Thanksgiving is only a couple days away! Does everyone have their turkeys ready, pies made, and guest-lists finalized? 

We aren't cooking at home this year. We will be heading to my Aunt and Uncle's house with much of our extended family, and I know there will be loads and loads of delicious foods to enjoy. (I'm in charge of making mashed potatoes for 30 people. Wish me luck!) 

The only gripe I have about Holiday feasts are what they tend to do to my poor tummy after the fact. Gas, bloating, indigestion, heartburn....It's enough to put me out of commission for a day or so afterwards. I have a sensitive stomach to begin with, and Holiday meals always seem to leave me feeling less than 100% afterwards. 

I went searching some of my favorite blogs to look for tips on how to avoid this problem. I want to be able to have my cake and eat it too, so to speak. I found this great article on About A Mom on How to Survive Holiday Overindulgence. I love the idea of assembling a Holiday SOS Kit including things like stain remover, pain reliever, and of course, a bottle of Pepto-Bismol to help with those tummy problems we all know and love.

For more Holiday tips, follow the hashtag #PinkRelief 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Holiday Gift Idea: Photo Jewelry From PicturesOnGold.Com #ChristmasForCorey #Sponsored

***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.***
A week or so ago, I shared a post about a local man named Corey. Corey was murdered on November 9th, and he leaves behind a fiance and small children. When I learned about this family losing such an important piece so close to the Holidays, my heart literally broke. I can't even imagine the pain, anger, grief and confusion these folks are going through right now. 

I decided that I was going to do something to help. No, I cannot bring Corey back to his loving family. I wish I had a magic wand that was capable of such feats. What I can do, with the help of some friends and some generous sponsors, is make sure that Christmas is not something they have to worry about this year. They need time to heal, pick up the pieces, and learn how to live their "new normal". 

I have had some wonderful sponsors reach out wanting to help. I am SO incredibly grateful, too! I am really hoping to bring some joy and comfort to these folks this year, and I think it's really going to be something amazing. 

The next sponsor I'd like to feature is a brand I have been a HUGE fan of for quite some time. PicturesOnGold.com offers a wide selection of quality jewelry that can be customized with engraving, photos, and more! When I reached out to them regarding my ideas to help Corey's family this Holiday season, they were more than happy to help out!
