We cannot deny it anymore people! The holidays have arrived and we need to get the decorating over with so we can move along to our Christmas gift wrapping and planning. Christmas decorating in my home consists of pine scented everything, decorating our beautiful tree, and filling the home with Christmas trinkets! Something I have tried a million times and it never worked out is decorating my windows with the cute window decals. These never work out for me because they fall off within a few days. It is so frustrating. I always want to show my Christmas spirit in a unique way, but I could never find something good for this- until now.

For as far back as I can remember, I have heard about Franklin Mint. I mean, haven’t we all? You know the commercials- “The Franklin Mint collection is a superb collection, you will never find one of these any where else in the world”. I’m sure you are thinking, “OH YEAH! I have seen those commercials a million times.” These aren’t just informercials that promise something that they will not follow through with. Franklin Mint really does provide an incredible amount of customer service and they offer quality products that you can only find through their company.

I know they say that you are getting old when you become excited about new household stuff! Well darnit I must be old then. I just turned 26 a couple of weeks ago, but for the past 7 years I have been asking for household stuff for my birthday and the holidays. I just love new items that are unique and convenient. I will be the first to jump on board with a product that makes my daily life easier. That is why I am super excited to share Bormioli Rocco’s Frigoverre Bowls.

Mama Smith’s Review Blog and Women and Their Pretties have teamed up to bring to you the best Shopping Guides around or as we call them- Two Blogs Fun Guides! You can expect Fun Guides all year long for different holidays and events! Below are the Gift Guides that are LIVE right now!

I recently posted an article titled the Top 5 Unique Picnic Must Haves. I included some of the very best items that were tested and review by yours truly. Sometimes you find items that are so unique, yet useful you wonder how you didn’t come up with the idea yourself. That is how I feel about all of the items, specifically these Salad To-Go Containers. They are so useful and convenient that I believe everyone needs one!

As Americans, we hold our Founding Fathers with great esteem. We love our country and we love those who have helped make it what it is today. With that said, any American would be honored to have a collection that symbolizes the freedom and gratitude that we have for our country. Franklin Mint has some the very best items that are dedicated to our beautiful “home of the brave”. They have the perfect gifts for grandfathers, father, and any history buff in your life.

I love Children’s books contain a little something extra. It is something that excites children and pushes them to read more. Some books include stickers or maybe a CD to go along with the book. Whatever it may be, it takes away from the “boring” reputation that some believe books to be. A child’s book must contains three important things: A valuable lesson, imagination, and great illustration. A Christmas book must contain three thing: The Christmas spirit, imagination, and great illustration. The Magic Christmas Key contains all of the above!

It’s a struggle finding children the right books to read these days. If you haven’t read the book, you don’t really know if you should purchase it. So what do you do? You either buy a book and take a chance or you just stick with the “big authors” that you know. You are missing out if you stick with the mainstream authors my friends. Some of the best children books are written by smaller authors with big dreams. If you are struggling with purchasing children’s books this year, I would like to think that I could help you. I found a really cute book that children and adults will both enjoy together!
