Lottie Doll & Outfit Set *Holiday Gift Guide*
Disclosure: I received this item for gift guide inclusion. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Lottie Dolls were launched in August of 2012. Since then, they have won 19 awards in the US, Canada, and the UK. One of the key features of the Lottie Doll is that her body is based on the average proportions of a nine year old girl. She represents a healthy view on body image and is a positive role model. Lottie Dolls are very cute, measuring in at about 7 inches tall. She is "age-appropriate" and loves to do activities that real kids do such as ballet, getting Keep reading...
Personal Planner *Holiday Gift Guide*
Disclosure: I received this item for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own. One of my goals for the new year is to be more organized. There's no better way to get in the organizing mood then with a really good personal planner. I recently received one from personal-planner.com. It's perfect, and I'm sure it will help me to lead a more organized life in the coming year. The think I love most about personal-planner.com is that you can customize your planner to make it fit your style and needs. To start off, you choose from one of four sizes for your planner. Then, you Keep reading...
Hydro Flask Water Bottles *Holiday Gift Guide*
Disclosure: I received these items for gift guide inclusion. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I'd say the Hydro Flask has become the most popular water bottle in Hawaii within the last year. It's amazing how many people here own them. In fact, our local surf shops seem to sell out soon after they get their shipment in. If a water bottle is that popular, there must be a reason, right? I received two Hydro Flask Bottles, a 32 oz. and a 40 oz to try out. I just had to see what all the hype is about. Are they really as great as everyone says? After testing Keep reading...

Radio Flyer Cyclone *Holiday Gift Guide*
Disclosure: I received this item for Gift Guide inclusion. All thoughts and opinions are my own. The Radio Flyer Cyclone is an awesome new ride-on for kids. It features two 16" wheels for a smooth, fun ride. Kids are able to spin 360° on the Cyclone, and what kid doesn't love spinning?! They can also zoom forward and roll backwards with ease. In order to make the Cyclone go, kids will have to turn the wheels using the hand grips connected to the insides of the wheels. I was surprised with how fast my 4 year old got the hang of it. She figured out how to go Keep reading...

Disclosure: I received these boots for gift guide inclusion. All thoughts and opinions are my own. My 7 year old fashionista has a thing for boots! We recently received her second pair of boots from Umi and she loves them just as much as the first pair she received, the Quiltee B's. The Chiara II Boots from Umi are a stylish pair of biker boots that come in three color options. I chose the chocolate, a great medium brown shade, for my daughter. The boot also comes in black and olive. These boots are great! They are super cute, and very comfy. My daughter loves them so Keep reading...

Disclosure: I received this item for gift guide inclusion. All thoughts and opinions are my own. We recently got a PS4 for the family, and although it's lots of fun for the adults, we hadn't found any games for the kids. I came to realize most of the games were geared more towards adults. Then, I came across Disney Infinity 2.0. It sounded like the perfect game for the kids. I was sent the Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel Super Heroes Starter Pack for the PS4. It's a great game. It's very interactive, engaging, and fun! It's not too violent like a lot of the other PS4 games Keep reading...
