Photo Fun with HGTV #lovehome and Giveaway #HGTV



I learned as a kid home is where you family is! It does not matter if its a big or small home, full of things or only the basics, a home you own or one you rent, what matters is the people you love live there. We moved a lot as kids but I loved it. I found it to be adventurous and any time we moved I had all the best friends I needed, my siblings. This last year my husband and I had to move our family into a condo from a house and again I realized its not the kind of roof over your head but the people in it. We had to find our dog a new home and that has been rough having no dog and a new place to live. We have been getting more comfy here and things like cooking in the kitchen, having plants to garden, sharing movies together and having parties together as a family is what makes this house a home.

Having a garden even a small one makes it feel like Home.

A place to have parties and celebrate the small stuff is Home.

For my son Home is where his Giraffe is

Chuck E Cheese "Say Cheese" App Review and Giveaway




My family loves Chuck E Cheese! We have been going to Chuck E Cheese since I was 5 years old, I am sure before then but its the time I started to really remember going. With my own son we have been going even before he was big enough to enjoy anything, it was just a fun place to be. The pizza and the dancing Chuck E Cheese stage show brings back so many great memories. When my nephew (Sam's oldest son) was just a little guy we took him to Chuck E Cheese when they came to visit from WA. Its a great place for parents to take the kids for a night of fun.

I always take a ton of pictures when I go and now there is a fun new way to enjoy pictures at Chuck E Cheese. They have made a new App called "Say Cheese". There are little posters and stickers all over the store that you point your smart phone at for Chuck E Cheese to appear and change poses as your child stands next to him. Of course you need to download the free app first.

We have had so much fun this week at Chuck E Cheese we have gone twice! Be sure to look for the "Say Cheese Here" signs and the different color versions to see Chuck E Cheese do different poses.







Grab your phone because family entertainment leader, Chuck E. Cheese’s brand new iPhone and Android app, Say Cheese! is available for free download.

The new Say Cheese! App makes trips to Chuck E. Cheese’s even more fun for kids of all ages. Using augmented reality, the app allows parents and kids to take fun photos with an animated version of Chuck E. Cheese on any visit to the family restaurant and gaming center.

In order to activate the app, just download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play. You can use it by traveling to your nearby Chuck E. Cheese’s where you will find “Say Cheese Here!” signs located throughout the store. It’s simple, just turn on the app and point your camera at one of the “Say Cheese Here!” signs, then watch Chuck E. come to life!

Red Envelope Gifts for Her "Mom" Necklace Review



Being a Mom is everything I imagined it would be. The joys, the smiles, the happy times and the other side with tantrums, frustrations and a small person saying Mom, Ma, Mama, Mommy a thousand times a day. Its a proud thing to be, someones Mom. I love to talk about my son to everyone! At work I talk about him all the time and of course am that annoying Mom that shows pictures and says how my kid is the most amazing kid ever. Its normal! I also want little items that I can wear like jewelry to say I am a Mom and proud. Much more subtle and stylish than a big tshirt right lol.

I found the perfect Mother's Day present for me. I found a simple and elegant necklace at Red Envelope that says Mom in nine languages. Its a perfect gift for any Mom. I have gotten many compliments on my necklace and people asking me where I bought it. I like to share the unique items at Red Envelope. I see many items I will be adding to my must have list.

The geometric form of the pendant is known as a mobius strip and represents infinity, an appropriate and symbolic form for this universal sound of love and affection. Exclusively from RedEnvelope.
