{Dassant Premium Baking Mixes} + Giveaway

I cannot really think of a time of year that I bake more than around the holidays. I love to make sweet yummy treats for our family and friends. My kids always love to get in on the action and the whole family just loves it when the house fills with the smell of something freshly baked. This year we were are able to celebrate and bake with a few premium baking mixes from Dassant. From the very start I knew these were going to turn out great. With the easy to follow instructions and fantastic mixes, my family and I enjoyed the mixes we tried. We could not stop ourselves from making the Truffle Brownies first. They were moist and taste great!  They were a hit with my chocolate lovers and did not last long in our house:)

{Zoobles}+ Giveaway

Have you heard of Zoobles? Fun bright colored balls that transform into adorable little creatures! These adorable little things have been such a hit in my house. My daughter in particular will play with hers for hours and never forgets to take them with her. Each one comes with their own "Happitat." She has so much fun watching them pop open when placed on it. They roll and play and create hours of fun! The single packs come complete with a Zooble and their own Happitat equipped with a hot spot to magnetically transform and display your Zooble. Happitats open to reveal a rest area to tuck away your Zooble.

{Super Sipperz}+Giveaway

Super Sipperz are a very cool idea.  They are straws with connectors that you can build amazing creations with and then use those creations to drink with.  Totally fun!  These are awesome because they are fun and they encourage kids to be creative too.

You can use them to make creations to drink through or you can use them just to build with also. They are totally fun either way, but who doesn't need that extra bit of incentive every once in a while to get the kids to drink their juice. And they are getting my kids to drink a lot more water too because I have them test their creations with water (and they do a lot of testing, lol).  Then, they drink juice through it once they are happy with what they've built.

{Softlips® PURE 100% Natural} + Giveaway

Softlips has always been one of my favorite lip moisturizers! I would say that I may be a bit of addict. I am constantly putting it on and finding new flavors to add to my collection. Softlips has come out with a great new line of 100% Natural lip polish with a light coconut scent as well as lip glosses, lip butter, and tinted balms, with a light vanilla-berry scent. All of which are free of preservatives, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil and gluten. I am not completely sure what all that means. But i do know that means my favorite brand for lip products just got better!

I am all for a product that will give me sleeker silhouette. ShaToBu is that and so much more. They say it is "The Workout You Wear". With resistance bands built right on the garment, your muscles will work harder while you go about your daily activities.

Pillow Pets are adorable soft and cuddly stuffed animals that fold out into a pillow. They are made of amazingly soft chenille, and are totally cute and cuddly. It is really neat for kids to have such a cute cuddly security-buddy.

They're all so cute that she does not even have a favorite, she says she loves them all. I love that they are durable, bright colored, super cute and affordable. My daughter is so excited that PetCakes will soon be launching a new interactive world on their website. These will make perfect gifts for the holidays as well as birthdays and more.

{Noodle Head Travel Buddies} +Giveaway

If you have children then you know the feeling of looking in the rear view mirror to find the kids sound asleep with their poor little heads drooping forward or to the sides. I hate that! I have used rolled baby blankets, jackets, and anything in reach to prop their little heads up till the ride is over. But with a Travel Buddie you no longer have to worry about that. Travel Buddies are designed to comfortably support sleepy heads. And the best part for your kids is that they are just like their favorite toy. They will want to take their Travel Buddies with them everywhere. I really love that they can really be used anywhere! We take my sons in our motor home for long rides as well as regular travel.

Who doesn't love a gift basket? A beautiful collection of tasty treats!  We have discovered an awesome gift basket company called Gourmet Gift Baskets.  They make handmade gift baskets with gourmet foods, and they have a huge selection of baskets.

{Chasing Treasure } +Giveaway

I love jewelry boxes. It is important to have a good jewelry box to keep your jewelry in good condition and well-organized so you can find what you are looking for. When she was little, we got my daughter a small box with two drawers to keep her plastic princess bracelets in. As she got older and has started to get more "grown up" jewelry, she continued to use that box and was constantly loosing earrings or bracelets and sometimes vacuuming them up (Yes, for anyone who has not done it, the vacuum does destroy earrings). As soon as we got her a jewelry box that was well-deigned and beautiful (about a year ago), she hasn't lost or damaged a single pair of earrings! That. to me, proves the importance of a good jewelry box.
