1. If you are looking for a little special gift to give this Holiday Season, then this is definitely something you might like to consider! It is a beautiful silver locket from picturesongold.com, which can be engraved on the front, the back and then inside with your favorite photos!

I had a bee engraved on the front of mine, which is sybolic of my last name, which begins with the letter "B" and then an "L" on the back for my first name - just because I can! I also have a larger locket and an 18inch rolo chain.

Inside the locket I had one of my favorite photos of my husband and I engraved, alongside a photo of our beloved dog, Rozz! You can, of course add photos of your chilren, or nothing at all if you want to gift it to someone who might like to add their own personal touch, later!

The locket comes available in several different sizes, with different types of chains [also in differing lengths] and with so many options to personalize it that you really can make something delighful for absolutely anybody, which offers something truly unique and heartfelt to call their own!

If you aren't immediately sure of the photos you would like to add to your locket, you can have it sent without the photos and send it back to include them when you do - you can also cut out your own photos and add them in the same way as you might have in an traditional style locket.

Picturesongold.com offers so much more than this pretty locket and so you can also pick up I.D bracelets, charms and gifts that everybody is sure to adore! What's more! You can use the promotional code: HOLIDAY 14 at checkout for a nice 10% discount on all orders placed on their website by December 23rd, 2014 and so there is even more reason to head on over and pick up that gift, today!!

#TastefullySimple Chewy Chocolate Cookie, Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup, and Nanas Apple Cake #Review #HolidayGiftGuide @tastefullysimpl

I received product from Tastefully Simple to facilitate a review.

I actually loved these mixes.  The thing that I liked most about Tastefully Simple was the fact they encourage you to play around with the basic dry natural mix, and add more natural foods to it. The mix itself tastes good without adding anything else, but it's always fun to add the little things that ya like too!

What also makes this company different than the rest is that they are donating $1.00 for every box of Cozy Chocolate Cookie Mix bought to Help the fight against Kids Hunger in America.  So please go check out those cookies!!

Like the Perfectly Potato Cheddar  Soup Mix,  the box says you can add different meats, and veggies.  I cut up Potatoes, Onions, Shredded Carrots, with some local Virginia Sausage. I didn't change anything to the Soup itself.  I added the 6 Cups of Water, and just let it cook like the box says.  It turned out delicious, and made a lot! I love soup on these colder days.

I also tried Nanas Apple Cake Mix.  I made mine in Mini Loaf Pans.  I chopped up apples in my nutribullet, and used that to the dry mix, along with a few bigger chunks of apples.  I also added some cinnamon, organic vanilla and oat/raisin mix to the tops of the mini loafs while they cooked.

We loved Nanas Apple Cake Mix.  My mini especially.  He kept helping himself to the mini loafs.

There were also the Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix.  The Cookie mix we threw crasiins in.  Right now, for every Package of Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix Sold,  Tastefully Simple will donate a dollar to the No Kid Hungry Campaign.

Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix
Tastefully Simple’s Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix makes soft, bake-shop cookies loaded with white chips and chocolate chunks, and each box sold helps to support the fight against childhood hunger in America. For every box of Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix sold (SRP $7.99), the company will donate $1 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign.

Cozy Comfort
TS’s Cozy Comfort gift package makes it easy to send comfort and joy with a trio of mixes for a homemade meal. The pack contains Tastefully Simple’s famous Bountiful Beer Bread Mix®, Nana’s Apple Cake Mix® and Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup Mix wrapped perfectly in a chocolate colored gift bag.

35% off Sale @whitemtshoes Hayward Black Flats #Review #HolidayGiftGuide #Spon

Disclaimer: I received product to facilitate a review. Who doesn't love shoes!?

I am absolutely in love with my new Hayward Black Flats by Cliffs Mountain Shoes.  Not only does the cross over crochet Vamp like texture work on the tip cries out unique to me, but the bottoms also get a bit of traction to them.

The reason why I like flats, and slip on's is because I am a tall person already.  I don't really need any more height.  I'm also a fan of slip on, and out the door.  Plus to me, these go with everything.  There are even silver studs at the overlapping of the straps.  I wish I had a pair in every color imaginable. 

I also like the fact that Cliffs Shoes are available in half sizes as well. 

Right now for the Holidays there is a Spend Over $35.00, use promo code HOLIDAY35 to get 35% Off.on the website, http://www.cliffsshoes.com

#PerplexusWarp #Review @PatchProducts #HolidayGiftGuide #Spon

Disclaimer: I received Product through Sverve & Patch Products to facilitate a review. All opinions, images, and video are my own.

I am impressed with how fun and competitive Perplexus Warp is. My son loves IT! Its for ages 6+ but I want to emphasis on the plus part.  It really did keep every ones attention.  Following the loops, the upside down drops, and the plastic hooks you use to help guide on the spots that have no sides to the Zones.  There are even steps to go down, and bump into Warp Drive over a steep like hill on the zone's course.

If the ball falls off, you have to begin all over again. It's not just "Oh lets barely shake it to get it back on track" Nope, even to get it at the start point you have to use a little Brain Power.  Soon as it starts, it's a turn sideways, back and forth down the middle of the white track zone.  Patchwork Products really has creatured a fun, problem solving puzzle.

I really do recommend this puzzle.  It's nice to unplug, no batteries needed, and just problem solve while thinking fast.

Teen Safe #WIN A $50 Amazon Gift Card #Giveaway 12/11 - 12/25 #HolidayGiftGuide

It takes great responsibility, and a lot of multitasking to be a parent.  We have to be strict, but still give our children space to be themselves, and find who they are. Teen Safe is easily affordable, and downloadable for Iphones. Teen Safe allows you to monitor text messages, sent, received, even deleted.  What I found different about Teen Safe is its ability to even track messenger apps as well. It can tell location of your childs phone.  My child is autistic, and the reason why I find Teen Safe great is I do like knowing where he is.

Few of My Favorite Holiday Gift Ideas @BestBuy #HintingSeason @Xbox @TomTomUSA #TomTomGo @BestBuyWOLF #Spon

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.

It's not that hard finding Holiday presents for the Adults in my life. Usually I think What is it that I would want as a gift.  Maybe the New XBox One, Speakers, a Newer Camera or GPS (My current GPS is about 5 years ago, and yea It's seen better days.) I know I can't be the only one that likes newer Toys! Don't we all?! The Holidays are about sharing, caring, and Toys for us adults too.

With Expert Service and Unbeatable Price these top gifts are on my list this Holiday and here's why they should be on yours:

Xbox One is the place for games.

What is Xbox One?

Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. With the best exclusive titles (Halo, Sunset Overdrive), the biggest blockbusters (Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty) the hottest sports franchises (Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15) and top family titles (Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15, Skylanders) Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level.

In addition to being a great gaming console, Xbox one connects consumers unlike any other device. Xbox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps. With Xbox One all of your media is at your fingertips when you want it.

Check out, XBOX One at Best Buy.

JBL:

JBL Charge 2- Between the twin passive radiators for deep bass, the massive 6000mAh battery and the hands-free conference speakerphone the key benefit is the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker.

JBL Flip 2- Aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, the key benefit of the JBL Flip 2 is the SoundClear echo and noise cancellation combined with the state-of the art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.

JBL Reflect Earbud headphones- Sweat proof ergonomic design. With a 5 hour rechargeable battery and a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT’s key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.

The Schrade Tactical Survival Pen. Really? Yes - really. Look, no one's saying go into the woods with this and a tarp and you'll end up starting a new civilization.

Hey and a regular pen isnt going to help you start a fire if you need water purified or provide you with a whistle to call for help! I do appreciate the simplicity of the Ferro rod in particular! They are cheap to replace (I am ordering refills for about $6 each) but the main thing is the rod and striker are big enough to be effective, but still small enough to be made into a pen If you can strike a match, you can use a ferro rod!

My Families Holiday Traditions & In Store Toy Events #ChosenByKids #HolidayGiftGuide

This is a Sponsored Post through Sverve & Walmart, all Opinions are my own

The whole month of December is a celebration for us!  Today is actually my son's birthday! To me, Christmas, and traditions are all about the Children, and giving back. Can't forget the Toys, and Cute Outfits either!! 

I come from a pretty big family, My grandparents combined had 22 kids, then comes their spouses, and children. I remember making a game out of remembering full names, and birthdays.  Growing up the Holidays always had the tradition of going to our Grannys house. Since my grand parents have passed away that tradition continues by going to my Parents house.

It really is about the kids, the smiles on their faces, and just that sense of Family. Discovering, and playing with the toys.  

My Dad makes the best Santa. Even strangers in the store, and little kids this time of the year think he IS Santa.  

The Children are all getting older, starting school, and making lists. To me, this is my favorite thing about my life.  All the littles being little, and celebrating the Holidays with them from picking out the Christmas Tree, Decorating it, Choosing a Toy to Donate, and The Silly Christmas Hats. 

Every year, and new member of the family, our hearts grow.

I know the children will continue these Traditions, and make their children smile too. Especially the Toys! Who doesn't love Toys!  #ChosenByKids! Check out Walmarts Holiday ToyLand .See if your local Walmart has any events this month.  I am going to the event on Saturday. Find an event near you.

Know whats fun about these events? The Kids get to play with the toys!  I can't wait to check the toys out!! Come on Saturday!!!! I need to buy a few more gifts for my nieces, and since I have a son, I'm not that hip on little girls.  Walmart #ChosenByKids Holiday ToyLand Event will help a lot with what gifts might be good for their age range.

What is your families favorite Holiday Tradition?
