Last year I took an amazing trip with my daughters Ariyona and Hailey to New York City to hang out with our fellow Crayola Pop Art Pixies. While we were there we got to walk the pink carpet, check out some amazing sites in NYC, cruise in the totally awesome blue Crayola tour bus and more! The trip was something that I will cherish and remember for a lifetime. Even though it was just for a weekend, me and my daughters made a ton of great memories.

Disney’s Magical Fireplace Review & Giveaway
I have a fireplace, but I am currently out of wood to burn.
For those of you that don’t have a fireplace, but would like to pretend that you do, I have the answer…. Disney’s Magical Fireplace.
Take a sneak peek at my video I just took today:
Even though I have a fireplace, I think this is almost as close as the real thing. What makes it special is that it is filled with Disney Magic! Be sure when watching the roaring fire, to look for hidden Mickeys and other favorite Disney characters as they mysteriously appear in the shadows. …
Endless Games: Zoo Panic Review & Giveaway
I have four kids and there have been many games played at my house. I was once a kid too, so this mom likes to have fun too. Even though a majority of the kids today probably favor electronic video games, it is always fun to break out an old fashion board game once in a while too, especially when they are young!
This year one of my children will be receiving the Zoo Panic from Endless Games for Christmas. 🙂 …
Cheerios Give Cheer To Military Familes + 24 Hour Giveaway
Did you know that there are specially marked boxes of Cheerios that you can purchase that have a postcard area on the box that you can cut off, personalize with a cheer and mail off to put a smile on a honorable military family?
Last month my kids and I decorated a few of these postcards and mailed them out in hopes of putting some smiles on some faces. I thought it would be fun if each of my daughters decorated their own card and even I took out the time to decorate one of these Cheerios Cheer cards too!
I was really happy to see my children put the effort into making these cards! They actually had fun helping and want to buy more boxes to send out more.
What is neat about this promotion is that Cheerios has already donated $150,000 to the USO. They are also making a $1 donation to the USO for each of these Cheer postcards that is received through November 2012 (up to an additional $100,000). If you are a fan of Cheerios, be sure to grab one of these specially marked boxes!

Gigi Hill Bags Review and Giveaway
When it comes to things “girly“, this mom can never have enough purses and tote bags. I don’t know why, but I have some sort of obsession with BAGS and they never seem to get old. Luckily my husband doesn’t mind and sometimes helps by adding to my collection on my birthday or maybe Christmas with a new purse or two.
This past month I had the opportunity to review one of the cute bags from Gigi Hill Bags. When I received an email about the company, I was not only excited because it had to do with purses, but the Gigi Hill company was founded by two M-O-M-S… Lets just say that I LOVE companies that are founded by moms. Since I am a mom, I am a huge supporter of mom based companies and they have been known to make some really awesome products.
Gigi Hill Bags offers some really cute, stylish and fashionable bags that can come in real big handy for moms.
Their bags are not only cute, they are customizable and available in a variety of different patterns with each bag. One of my favorite features is that you can clean these easily with a baby wipe. They have been designed with a durable hardware that makes them cleanable which comes in handy for those moms that are on the go or especially moms with toddlers that tend to get mommy’s clothes and stuff all dirty.
In addition to being cute and stylish, the Gigi Hills Bags are outfitted with their Signature Pocket Design to ensure that there is a pocket for everything (your cell phone, sunglasses, keys, lipstick, baby bottle, etc). So now you can have a cute bag that also comes in handy for holding all your stuff too!
I received the Gigi Hills Elizabeth Bag to review. Out of all their bags, I think this one is probably my favorite, although I wouldn’t mind having one of each (just saying). This is the first bag that was ever designed from the Gigi Hills Bags line and great to use as a weekender bag. This bag has a large two-way zipper that allows me easy access to my belongings and features the exclusive Signature Pocket Design. Since we like to travel, but only for short trips, this will be perfect to use as one of my carry-on bags the next time I am flying!
Not only can you shop for cute purse from Gigi Hill Bags, you can join their Business Opportunity or Host a Party and earn some extra money by selling some of these cute bags to your friends. The new year is coming soon and joining this opportunity might be a great way to bring in some extra income!
