Holiday Wish List includes Pop On Pals!

I love finding new stuff for my little guy, it always seems like the boy is so much harder to find gifts for than the girl!! Lil' Buddy is thoroughly recommending Pop On Pals this year for holiday gifts!! Ever since he received them, he's done nothing but sit and play with them!! They quickly became one of his favorite toys!

Pop On Pals are a great toy that encourages developmental skill building in kids in the 2 to 4 age range. Not only do they allow kids to play with their imagination, but it helps their fine motor skills to develop. They can change the little guys all around so that a princess can become a baker, a fireman can become a musician and so much more!

There are different playsets available for your little ones personality, I know that my guy is big into cars and trucks and I love that they offer vehicles! You can pick up mix n' match fun packs or pet packs along with so many other great items!

You can purchase Pop On Pals at in store or online at places like Toys R' Us, Target, KMart and more. You can also check out amazon.com for online shopping for Pop On Pals!

Team Mom provided me with Pop On Pals to review free of charge, this in no way changes the way that I, or Lil' Buddy, feels about the product.

I know that so many Moms out there would love to receive mOmma items for their sweeties this season. Their products are awesome!!
mOmma items are built with innovation and encourage babies to discover their surroundings with products. mOmma products are completely unique in shape and have great colors!

Holiday Wish List includes Things Remembered!!

One of a kind gifts are great for the holidays because they let the recipient know that you put thought into making it perfect and just for them. I've turned to Things Remembered many times over the years for personalized items and this year is no different. I've picked up everything from graduation gifts, to birthday presents, Christmas ornaments and more from Things Remembered, but this year I'm so excited to give my own mother a beautiful and meaningful gift from TR. Though TR carries so many different items, I've always loved some of their personalized jewelry items the most. All new this season, the Resilient Heart Necklace and the Radiant Star Bracelet are my favorite, not just because of how stunning they are, but for the simple fact that they also benefit the Make A Wish foundation, my very favorite charity.

Also new this season is perfect for any young lady, an engravable butterfly compact, which I know is right up my nieces alley. She's 13 and I couldn't tell you that I know any 13 year old girl who wouldn't love it. For the gadget lovers, there is a new digital photo keychain, and for the gamblers, there's a new super cool silver personalized playing card set available!

I love the convenience of TR. You can shop online, which is great, but even shopping in their stores is super convenient as well. I've never waited more than 2 hours to pick up the great personalized gift I had decided on from the TR store!

Want to win a gift from Things Remembered?? Leave a comment here with what you would engrave your gift with. Would you choose the compact, digital photo keychain, playing cards or one of the Make-A-Wish jewelry pieces?

Holiday Wish List includes JUMBiES!!

I love things different and quirky and JUMBiES are those different and quirky little toys that will be sitting in so many stockings this year. These cute toys have been compared to the next beanie babies and I can see why, they're about the same size and they're totally the same cuteness!!

The story of the JUMBiES is too funny, and a fun story to share with the kiddos, they totally got into the whole thing!!

There were more babies being born than ever before. The storks had to deliver them from shore to shore. There were baby elephants, bears, dogs, and cats. They had tigers, skunks and even baby bats!

You could also find raccoons, deer, mice and whales. There were camels, sharks and dinosaurs with long tails. There were koalas, kangaroos and chimpanzees. The storks had all kinds of fish and even bumblebees! They had to deliver them in the north, south, east and west.

There was so much to do they had little time for rest. They flew to America, Europe, Antarctica and down under. They went to Africa and Asia trying not to blunder. There was not a place on earth where the storks did not fly. Everywhere in the world the storks filled up the sky. They had to move real fast for there was no time to be slow.

It began to get very confusing on where they had to go. Some storks turned left when they should have turned right. Some storks flew all day when they should have flown at night. Other storks flew east when they should have gone west. Everything went wrong even though they were trying their best. Then in began to happen in a flash! One by one they started to CRASH!!!

The storks smashed right into each other. It kept happening one after the other. They crashed in the clouds up in the air. There were stork feathers everywhere! They landed in the water, the trees and in the dirt. It was a miracle that none of the storks were hurt.

Then they quickly went to see if the babies were okay. The babies were fine but the storks did not know what to say. When the storks crashed and tumbled, it appeared all the animal babies were jumbled! The storks could not believe their eyes. These babies were quite a surprise. They still looked very lovable and sweet. But they were very different from their head to their feet.

There were no more zebras or elephants. But they found lots and lots of Zelephants! They looked for giraffes and buffaloes. But the storks only found Giraffaloes! These jumbled babies became a new breed. So they called them JUMBiES the storks agreed.

There were no lions, tigers or bears anywhere around. But they found thousands of these JUMBiES on the ground. Even bugs, birds and fish were not the same. The storks had to take all of the blame. Now since all the babies were a jumbled mix. The storks had a problem that was not easy to fix. It was not clear where these little ones were suppose to go. These babies were jumbled up so the storks did not know. They took the JUMBiES to a place with palm trees and white sand. The storks called this beautiful island JUMBiELAND.

But the JUMBiES still needed homes where they would be cared for. So the storks flew everywhere on earth and knocked on every door. The storks found homes with loving girls and boys. The JUMBiES have given them many new joys.

But there are more JUMBiES that still happen every day. They too need homes that give them love in a special way. The storks continue to find homes for them like yours and mine. The JUMBiES need your special love because they are one of a kind.

I know the JUMBiES are going to be a huge hit this holiday season, and you can pick yours up online at the JUMBiES store or check their store listings for other retailers. We love our Zelephant and our HorseFly!!

Want to win a win 2 JUMBiES?? Leave a comment here with which JUMBiE is your favorite! See all the choices here.

Holiday Wish List includes the Mickey Mote!

Every year I get ideas of what I think the "next big toy" will be and I've thought for months that the Mickey Mote has got to be on that list! The Mickey Mote gives preschoolers a great new way to watch and play along with some of their favorite Disney characters. Lil' Buddy was immediately interested in the Mickey Mote because its so kid friendly, shaped like Mickey's head!!

I found the Mickey Mote soooo easy to set up and thankfully it was quick too, since Bud sat there whining because he wanted to use it so bad! You just set up the DVD to go through Discovery Mode and next thing you know the kiddo is playing along, answering the questions that go along with the scene they just viewed. There are quite a few titles available to go along with the Mickey Mote, 4 different Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVDS, 2 Handy Manny ones, 2 Tigger and Pooh ones and even a Little Einsteins one!

Check out amazon.com for Mickey Mote purchases!!

Seems like each and every year we entertain for more and more people, people in and out of the houses constantly. Between my house, my parents house and my aunts house, people are always going back and forth!!

The Renuzit adjustables are right in my price range, usually around $1.00 and come in so many great fragrances. I love the ones that have come out for this holiday season, the winter berry, holiday cookie, festive snow, and my favorite, the apple and cinnamon!

Holiday Wish List includes Villeroy & Boch!

Entertaining for the holidays is always a daunting task. Sometimes it never seems to be enough serving platters or stemware or what have you, and my mom is constantly calling about two minutes before I leave the house to tell me to bring something else over. This year, I was so very excited to bring over for Thanksgiving, a most beautiful serving set from Villeroy & Boch. Now don't get me wrong, I'm festive and all, but I love those staple pieces that you can use year round and the Urban Nature Serving set is one of those pieces that we're going to just love showing off.

Villeroy & Boch is a stunning, well known and established brand of china that has been used by the Pope, royalty, and so many more. They have an outlook that fine china should be used everyday, and I can say simply by using the Urban Nature serving set, having it out on the counter holding fruit, I feel good seeing it there. It adds some class to my kitchen and my shabby little apartment.

The company offers much more than just serving dishes, you can shop for tableware, glassware, cutlery, gourmet whiskey and much more. I've fallen in love with Villeroy & Boch and their large array of choices. I love that some products are more classic and some are more modern, they don't just stick with one little style to offer. I see these pieces being a perfect gift this holiday season for those couples who are first starting out and are ready to expand their china collection!!

Villeroy & Boch sent me my Urban Nature serving set to aid in my review free of charge. This in no way changes the way that I feel about the product or the company.
