Mikarose Review and $50 Giveaway

Finding clothing that is cute but also fitting with my personality and body frame can sometimes be difficult. I have a larger on top frame that can sometimes make it hard to wear certain cuts of tops like a v-neck or scoop neck. I have been looking for a holiday dress to wear that was comfortable for me to feel fancy in but not too revealing. I found a company Mikarose that has fashionable and modest clothing. They make many cute tops and dresses that I like.

For the holidays I ordered the beautiful Renee Lace Dress. I love how it looks it was perfect. But the sizing runs a bit small. I wear plus size and this dress should have been a fit for me but it was too small. I will be letting my friend have the dress for her holiday party since she fit in it better than me. I was too uncomfortable with how tight it was on the top part. Its a pretty dress! it also comes in a black lace. Another great feature about the dress is that it is machine washable.



I found a few other cute items from Mikarose that I would like to give as gifts.

For our Holiday Gift Guide we will be hosting a giveaway for a $50 Gift Certificate to Mikarose.

Stompeez Review and Giveaway

Knowing what my son wanted this year has been fairly easy, he sings the catch phrases or tells me when he sees a commercial that he likes it. Last year it was Pillow Pets, this year its all about Stomp Stomp Stompeez. He even asked Stompeez Please. Too cute! Last year that had such an overwhelming demand they ran out! But this year they have a new plan and tons of inventory for all the good little boys and girls that want Santa to bring them Stompeez.

Have you seen the commercial its very catchy. They show the kids stomping in the cool slippers and say Stomp Stomp Stomp Stompeez! I have even seen Stompeez showing up at some retailers. For my son I picked the Growlin' Dragon. My son thinks dragons are super cool. He loves this slippers. He stomps all over the house making his Stompeez growl at me. They have even munched on a few toys. My son will stick a action figure in the Dragons mouth and make the slipper bite it. It hilarious! You do need to stomp in the slippers to get them to work. My son had to learn to stomp properly to make the mouth open. I am sure older kids will have no trouble at all.

Making his Stompeez growl at me

My son immediately knew what they were. He yelled Stompeez and put them on to stomp. He wears them in the house every day and I have let him wear them to run errands. He had them on in the grocery store cart the other day and a few people asked me where to get them. Some kids recognize them too. They are a super cute gift for the kids in your life! Most kids under 5 will wear a small. My son is 3 with big feet and he still has room on the back of the slippers to grow into them.

My son LOVES his Dragon Stompeez

You can buy Stompeez online and get great deals.

I have two promos to share that won’t expire until after Dec 31, 2012:

This Little Lady

This little lady of mine will turn one in less than a week. One! 

This year has gone by so fast. I want to freeze time and keep her under a year old just a bit longer. 

She has always been so sweet, gentle and darling but lately I am starting so see a little "spice" in her personality. 

She is smart, determined, cute and even a little bit sassy these days! And getting a picture of her is out of the question, she has better things to do then pose for her mama!

Oh my I am so not ready for my little girl to grow up. 

But on the other hand I can't wait to see the young lady she becomes.

Nature's Path Organic Review and Giveaway

 

 

My family loves organic granola and one of our favorite holiday tastes and smells is Gingerbread. That is why we were so excited to try the "seasonal" flavor from Nature's Path of Love Crunch Gingerbread. When I poured the Love Crunch out of the bag the smell was intoxicating and divine. The taste was even better. Because the smell of gingerbread was so overwhelming, I thought that the taste might be too. The good news is it wasn't it was just right, not too overwhelming, perfect really. The boys and I had it for a snack and most of it is already gone, it did not last long around here.

Santa Is Coming To California Holiday Book Review

As a Californian I LOVE to see books that are California based. I love reading books to my son and books that I can tell him he has seen it or been there is super fun. This year my son is understanding what Santa means and about gifts for being a good boy. The book Santa is Coming to California is great! We had a great time reading it together. This can be a great gift for a kid living in or visiting California for the holidays. I am sure a child traveling would be reassured that yes Santa does find all the good kids in California!

They also have other places like Boston, Florida, Wisconsin, the Carolinas and more! These make great holiday gifts to share with your little ones. I know we will be adding this book to our holiday reading along side the Night Before Christmas and The Grinch.

We have been to the Golden Gate bridge many times. Its awesome to see in person!

Santa flew all over California!

Recap of DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular

JJ so excited to be here, you can tell by the GIANT grin on his face!!

Of coarse there were plenty of souvenirs, the boys got these light up toys. The light shot out of Toothless the Dragon!

The opening scene.

No flash photography but I did get some pretty good shots. This is where Hiccup and Toothless are learning to trust each other.

JJ  and I enjoying the show.

JJ, Liam and the Hubby in awe of the flying dragons all over!!

The giant dragon in the middle of this picture was HUGE. And there is Hiccup and Toothless flying to get away.

A shot as we were leaving the Tacoma Dome.

DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular was amazing!! I really was in awe of it all as we watched this story unfold right there on the stage. Everything from the dragons, the cast, the lights, the music, the storyline, it was all just magical. Some of our favorite parts were the underwater scene, the fire shooting out of the sidelines, when Hiccup was riding Toothless as they flew, and the giant dragon they defeated!

We took all three kids ages 6rs y, 2.5 yrs and an 11 month old. I was worried that the little ones would squirm and want to get up out of their seats or be scared of all of the fire breathing dragons. But I am not kidding you, they sat the ENTIRE time watching the story unfold. There were no tears, no meltdowns or anything. We could not believe that they would sit there and take it all in, the show was really that good. At first my 2.5 year old held on tight and looked at me for reassurance but after a bit none of it scared or bothered him. He really did love the Dragons. It was a great show and if you have the chance I recommend you go and take your family. This is a great performance your family will love!

Today is the day. Today is the day our family is going to Tacoma to see The DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular!

We can't wait to come back tomorrow and tell you all about it! Or maybe we will see you there? Are you going or is anyone you know coming out to see this amazing show?
