Torani-Making My Morning Sweeter One Cup of Joe At A Time

I love my morning coffee, so much so that sometimes I'll repeat that cup of coffee again in the afternoon!  But I don't like the same flavor every time, I like to change it up, pretend I'm at a coffeehouse and not in my little ole kitchen.  Torani helps me do just that!

Torani has over 100 flavors, from your basic French Vanilla to Chicken 'n Waffles (I'm not even kidding), they have something for everyone.  Since I am trying to keep the holiday pounds from piling on I tried the Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pie and the Sugar-Free Hazelnut.  I simply added a little splash to my coffee with some milk and I had a coffee house-esque kind of cup of coffee!  It's a wonderful way to start the day!

Check out Torani for yourself and find the flavors you can't wait to try in your coffees, hot chocolates, and recipes!

Disney Games For Christmas? Why Yes Please...And Thank You!

Games, games, and more games!  That is one of the biggest requests from my two sons this Christmas.  There are so many out there though and short of renting them and trying them first (who has time for that?!)  you might be a little lost about which ones to pick up.  I'm here to help!  I reviewed 3 Wii games, very anticipated Wii games I might add,  to help you decide which one, two or all three are right for your kiddos!

The first one is Disney Epic Mickey Two: The Power of Two.  It is available for the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3,  Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS.  You play Mickey Mouse as you team up with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to save Wastleland.  Rated "E" for Everyone this game is suitable for my 6 yr. old though it does require some reading to move on to new places so he needs help sometimes.  With different consequences for each action it's never the same twice so it never gets boring.  This one is a keeper in our home.

The next one is Brave: The Video Game.  It is available for Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo DS, PC, and Mac.  You play as Merida, as you battle your way through mythical Scotland to end a magical curse and save the kingdom.   Rated "E" for Everyone this is a fun, action packed game.  Lots of jumping, running, and battling kept my little man pretty interested.  He has not even seen this movie yet and it didn't matter, it is just a fun game.  Another keeper!

And last but not least is Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure.  It's available for Wii, Nintendo 3DS, PC, and Mac.  It has all the great Disney princesses: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, and Tiana.  A spell has been cast over the kingdom and you must undo the spell.  We let my son's little friend Jessica try this one out, he wasn't too keen on playing a "girly" game lol  She loved it!  It's rated "E" for Everyone as well and kept her attention for a good little while.






So there you go, 3 games ideas for your kiddos this Christmas!  And because I want to help you out even more, yeah I like you THAT much, I am giving away 1 of each of these games in your preferred format!  Enter the giveaways below!

World Vision-Give A Gift That Could Change A Life

Let's be honest.  Dad doesn't need another tie, but we will buy it, Grandma will never wear that sweater, but we just HAVE to get it for her, and your child's teacher does NOT need another scented body lotion, but that's what you picked up.  If you have want to really show someone how much you care and help out someone else in the process I have just the gift idea for you.

World Vision has an amazing gift catalog full of nearly 250 gifts.  You can purchase these gifts in the name of a family member, teacher, co-worker, or child.  What better way to show your love or appreciation for someone.  

Some gift examples include:

• Artisan Beaded Necklace
• Eco Cold Cup
• Veggie Tales "Incredible Vegetables" DVD
• Plush toys
• Goat ($75): This is one of the most popular gifts because its milk provides protein for children and the surplus can be sold for additional income to purchase medicines and other necessities.  In addition the fertilizer from goats can increase the amount of vegetables the family can grow.
• Family Food Kit ($16):Includes nutritious meals like oatmeal, lentil soup or pasta, and a bean and rice casserole to feed a family in the US who has been struck by disaster, homelessness or job loss 

These are just a few examples out of hundreds of gifts that you can give that can change a life.  Take a moment and check out the World Vision Gift Catalog online and find that perfect gift for that someone special and help another someone special in the process.

WaxVac Review & Giveaway

I have a 6yr. old who hates having things put in his ears, a couple of stepdaughters who are prone to swimmer's ear, and a pool. So when I got an opportunity to try WaxVac I was all over it!  We have always used Q-tips in our house, even though we know it's not the best way to handle ear cleaning, and it's a miracle my kids haven't gotten concussions from bopping themselves on the head trying to get water out of their ears after a swim.  WaxVac has changed all that!

WaxVac is a little hand held device that provides a constant but gentle suction to remove moisture and dirt from your ear canal.  WaxVac comes with 8 silicone tips, so each member of the family can have their own and a cleaning brush.  It's quiet so it won't startle younger kids, and has a neat little light on the other end to help you see inside those little ears.  The WaxVac is safe, as it only goes so far into the ear canal, allowing you to clean properly without damaging your ear drum.   Now that we've tried this, I can't imagine ever going back to Q-tips, and I can rest assured that my youngest has clean ears, and that his inability to hear me tell him to clean  his room is "Selective hearing" lol 

You can purchase you own WaxVac HERE!  And right now when you order one WaxVac you another WaxVac free complete with 8 more silicone tips and a cleaning brush, you just pay shipping and handling.

Giveaway

Win a WaxVac for your family!

2 Great Gift Ideas For Animal Lovers

I love animals!  My ideal world would be me and my family living on a nice chunk of land with lots of room for animals of all sorts plus a no kill shelter for dogs and cats and anything else that needed rescuing.  But in reality it's me and my family living in a nice cozy home with 2 adorable chihuahua mixes, Dora & Diego (named by my son and stepdaughter), a hamster named Penny, and two fish Soapy and Gary.   So I think I've established that I like animals lol  That is why I loved these two books from Chicken Soup For The Soul.




"Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can't Believe My Dog Did That!" is a great read, full of all kinds of dog stories.  From stories of heroism and and saving lives, to stories of tom foolery and crazy tricks dogs play on us humans. You'll find 101 stories that will make you laugh, maybe cry, and at some point you WILL say "I can't believe a dog did that!"  This would make a GREAT gift for that dog lover in your family!

"Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can't Believe My Cat Did That!" is also a fun book.  Read about cats and their 9 lives, how some are escape artists (This one doesn't surprise me. Cats always seem a little sneaky to me), and how others care for the sick.  Another GREAT gift idea for the cat lover in your life.

Find out more about these and other Chicken Soup for the Soul books by visiting their website at chickensoup.com

One Thousand Gifts Devotional Review & Giveaway

I have started making my Christmas shopping lists, which to some of you I know isn't a big accomplishment lol  In fact I have a few friends who have already finished their shopping!  Yikes!  I would love to be THAT person, but I'm not, and honestly I'm ok with that.  I have a pretty good idea what I want to get everyone this year, but I was a little stumped on a couple of my girlfriends.  Then I got to read Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts Devotional.  This book is absolutely getting gifted this year to a few lucky ladies (can't say who, they may be reading this ;) )

Ann Voskamp the author of "One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to live Fully Right Where You Are", has outdone herself this time with her followup "One Thousand Gifts Devotional".  Each devotional includes a daily scripture, a prayer, and room after to jot down your own thoughts.  There are 60 devotions, each one written in such a way that you cannot help but get something inspirational out of each one.  Ann wrote these devotions as a way for us to find grace in the midst of all our daily drama, deadlines, debt, and daily duties.  There is truly something to be thankful for every day if we just allow ourselves to see it.  Ann's book does that, it helps put things in perspective, and helps to open your heart to Him, so that you to can find the graces that are hidden in our daily lives.

You can learn more about Ann Voskamp by visiting her daily online journal at www.aholyexperience.com or visit her website at www.onethousandgifts.com.
