**New Nintendo 3DS XL and Mario Party Star Rush game were provided by Nintendo for a review. All opinions are my own** OMG! We’ve been having so much fun playing Mario Party Star Rush, the newest release in the Mario Party gaming series! I will admit, I was a tiny bit apprehensive when we first received the game. I don’t normally dive into a game and find myself WANTING to…
Christmas is next week and then you know what comes right after– winter break. This will be my first time dealing with winter break and I’m excited! I get to sleep in, eat junk food and binge watch on some Lifetime movies– then reality hits and I remember those days are long gone. I have a kid who I was use to not dealing with for 6 hours, a nice…
Another Christmas passing calls for another DIY Christmas ornament. Every year my family makes a Christmas ornament and exchanges them with my boyfriend’s family– a tradition that is one of my favorites, but also one I hate. It’s possible. Trust me. I always admire those who can literally make a desk out of plastic plates and garbage bags, add some jewels and voila they have a working-one-of-a-kind masterpiece. My talents…
What an eventful weekend we had this past week– filled with new experience and traditional experiences for the family. Of course, it was all a surprise because that’s how we roll– everyday should be someway unexpected, for the kids at least. We started the weekend with having just Ziana-mommy-daddy time because with a new baby brother things can get hectic for everyone and she’s been needing that one-on-one time. The…
The second– okay, maybe day– that Thanksgiving ended we were all about Christmas. This year we spent Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania with the boyfriend’s family and tried to take advantage of all the small town events that were happening last weekend. One talked about event was the Santa Express on the Stourbridge Line which takes you on a scenic 45-minute ride alongside Santa Claus. It of course was a surprise for…
*I partnered with Disney books and received the below items. All opinions are my own** Christmas is here! I gave all the turkeys of the world their moment by celebrating Thanksgiving and not posting about Christmas, but now that it’s here and over I figured I get to it about posting why we treasure our holiday traditions. Growing up I didn’t have traditions besides putting up the tree and calling…
The holidays are right around the corner and yes, I know, Thanksgiving hasn’t even passed and the Christmas craze has begun and with good reason. The folks over at Toy Industry Association are compiling the hottest holiday toys for their annual Toy of the Year (TOTY) awards program, also known as the “Oscars” of the Toy Industry. I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of the first people to unveil…

Ziana has been obsessed with the commercials and seeing all the toys at Walmart that she hasn’t stopped talking about it.

As a kid I always heard the old folks talk about how they just peed on themselves and even till this day I hear it– you know them and those old fart like jokes. I just always laugh and figure it’ll be an issue I have to deal with when I got “old.” Well, apparently being old wasn’t one of of the reasons for bladder leakage. Bladder leakage can happen…
*This is a sponsored post with Bounty all opinions are my own* In just a few months (4 to be exact) the little boy you’ve seen grow up will be turning 1! I know, I can’t believe it either. I’m already stressed out about his birthday party because absolutely nothing is planned. Unlike Ziana’s who birthday theme, guest list and decorations were well planned about 8 months ahead of time. …
