Nobody is keen on having their child locked up in their room all through the holiday glued to mindless video games. Thankfully, this particular challenge has been picked up on by many toy manufacturers, who now specifically make Keep reading...

4 Ft. Green Flocked Pre-lit Christmas Tree from Kohl’s
Disclosure: I received this item for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own. There's nothing like decorating for the Holidays. It's my favorite time of the year! I received the 4Ft. Green Flocked Pre-lit Tree by St. Nicholas Square from Kohl's. It's a great addition to my Christmas decor.

$25 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway and Krome Photo Review
#KromePhoto Makes My Holiday Photos Look Great! Did you take a ton of Holiday photos already? How did they turn out? Don’t you just hate it when you take a “great” photo only to look more closely later and see some weird thing there you didn’t see when you took it? Sometimes photo bombs can be funny, but other times they just aren’t! Sometimes the background of a shot just looks terrible, but the person looks fantastic. How many time has this happened to you? I think it always happens - you get so caught up in the adorable moment and snap a picture. Then you go back to look at it and you Keep reading...
