When I think of the holidays and entertaining guests in my
home, my first thought as the hostess always turns to what food will I serve.
Cooking up those family favorite dishes requires quite a few different pans.
The last thing I want to pull out with guests in my home is a less than stellar
pan. Thankfully BrylaneHome has solved my dilemma this year by providing me
with some wonderful cookware- the 12-pc Cereco Cookware Set.

There is more than just holiday cheer going around this time of year.

Thankfully we have not been hit by any cold bug at my home yet this year {knock on wood}. If we are though, I want to be prepared. Thankfully with Children's Dimetapp already on hand, I have a great start!

Hot Holiday Toys ~ Crayola Paint Maker #ChosenByKids
*Sponsored post. I was compensated to attend the event and review this product. All opinions are my own. see disclosure.
On December 6th, my kids and I attended the Holiday Toyland event at my local Wal-Mart. We were able to be "Official Toy Testers" and take an up close look at some of the hottest toys for the 2014 Holiday. (Make sure to check out the store dates and times because different areas will be having their Holiday Toyland Events this weekend (12/12 & 12/13), and you could go check it out!)

The Crayola Paint Maker is right on point with my older two children's interests. They have skills, when it comes to art, that I can only dream about since the artsy gene skipped right over me. They think being able to make their own paint at home is very cool.

*I received the product below in order to facilitate this review, and was not required to write a postive review. All opinion are my own. see disclosure.
If there is one gift that all the ladies in my family love receiving, it would have to be purses and handbags.

Finding a fashionable bag at a decent price is a must, and that is why I had to share with all of you a company I recently found- Sass N Frass!
Sass N Frass is a boutique shop that features some unique and trendy products. They offer Women's and Children's Fashions, Jewelry, Purses and Bags, Home Accessories, and even some Sassy products for Pets too. One of my favorite categories on their site is the Sassy Steals Under $5. There you can find some fun stocking stuffers perfect for this time of year.

Sponsored: Keeping Breakouts At Bay With Clearasil Hydra-Blast Oil-Free Face Wash ~ #MC #ClearasilMom
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Clearasil. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Breakouts. Acne. Pimples. Those are three words to describe what stressed me out when I was a young teenager. Thankfully my mom introduced me to a facial routine early, and saved me from a lot of embarrassment and self-esteem worries. I am happy to be able to do the exact same for my tween daughter. I don't believe that skin issues should be a rite of passage into the teen years. They come with the territory, but I have given our daughter Clearasil Hydra-Blast Oil-Free Face Wash which can reduce breakouts by 85% in about four weeks, to help keep her skin clear.
Even though Clearasil Hydra-Blast Oil-Free Face Wash is a gentle cleanser that isn't supposed to dry out her skin, she has very sensitive skin that is prone to dry patches during the cooler months, but will still be oily in the T-Zone area. We decided from the beginning that she would use it ever other day to see how her skin reacted, and if we could notice a reduction in her breakouts.
Using the Hydra-Blast Oil-Free Face Wash is actually super simple, and after just reading the directions with my eleven year old tween once, she was able to continue without any assistance. After wetting her face, she used almost a quarter sized portion of the face wash by massaging it into her skin. She paid careful attention to apply more to her nose, chin and forehead since these are her problem areas. Last you just rinse the face wash off with warm water. No crazy procedures or multiple steps to the routine, which is perfect for my tween.

Holiday Traditions That Keep Families Close ~ #ChosenByKids
*sponsored post. see disclosure.
As the holidays draw nearer with every passing day, my thoughts go back to when I was young. Some of my most treasured memories are celebrating with family. One tradition my family has continued since I was little is getting together with my Dad's side of the family at my Grandparents home on Christmas Eve to trade gifts and visit.
Back more years than I care to admit, this was just my Grandparents, my parents, my Dad's four siblings and spouses, then of course us cousins. Well, as you can imagine, this has grown into quite a huge get together with now two more generations included. There are eleven of us grandchildren, over twenty great-grandchildren, and now one precious great- great granddaughter. It's a packed house to say the least, and we would not have it any other way! We love that we are all close, and are staying that way by making sure we see each other every year for a fun night.
Since we are keeping this holiday tradition alive for our children in such a large family, we have to be creative with gift giving. Buying presents for everyone is not something we can do on a budget. That means we have all agreed to trade names for the younger generations, and everyone buys for as many kiddos as they are bringing. There are still plenty of gifts and toys under the tree, and we all get to enjoy those eyes light up when a little one unwraps their toys. I just love how keeping this tradition alive has kept our family close during the holidays and throughout the year. This year I am looking forward to our little guy's first Christmas with the entire family!
With toys to buy for both our traditional Christmas Eve holiday celebration, and for my own kiddos, I will be stopping by the Toyland Event held at my local Walmart on December 6th. I can't wait to share with you all the details after the event, and one of the cool toys I picked up for the present exchange at my family's Christmas Eve party. Make sure to check the list of participating stores and event dates to stop by and join in the fun at the Walmart Toyland Event in your area.

Looking For an Absorbent Pocket Cloth Diaper? ~ Thirsties Modern Cloth Diapers Review
*I received the products below for reviewing purposes. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. see disclosure.
One Size Pockets? Hemp Inserts? If you would have asked me what these terms referred to a year ago, I seriously crack up when I think about what my sarcastic response would have been! {Which I will leave to your imagination} Now fast forward to present day, I understand that one size pockets are a versatile cloth diaper that you can "stuff" with absorbent cloth inserts, and adjust to fit babies of varying sizes. Hemp Inserts are a all natural fiber cloth diaper insert, not what I envisioned the first time I heard that term, and Thirsties Modern Cloth Diapers has offered me both to share with you my opinions in this review.
Thirsties is located right here in the USA, and their products are manufactured in Colorado. Some of their products are even made by Moms who work from home. They are also dedicated to being a socially responsible business by using more than 90% USA sourced fabrics and materials, and recycling 100% of their scrap fabric. Good for you Thirsties!!!

*I received the products below in order to facilitate this review. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. see disclosure.
I have always loved receiving shoes as a gift, and know I am not the only shoe lover out there!!! This holiday season I just have to share with you a brand of shoes that that would make a great gift idea- Zipz Shoes!
First a little about Zipz Shoes' beginnings. One of my favorite things about Zipz is it was created by Jerry Stefani and his family. The idea actually originated at a family BBQ in California! The family collaborated and eventually, after some creative thinking and a few prototypes, agreed on zippers as a way to make the shoe that could change covers. Now we have this awesome truly interchangeable shoe system Zipz!!!
How do Zipz work? First you choose a Zipz Soul or the base of the shoe from the styles available. Then select your favorite Shoe Cover, and that's it! Now you have a trendy piece of footwear to show off, and compliment your personal style.

We love to play games in our home, and when I come across a game that sounds like fun for our whole family, we have to try it. Well, thanks to PlaSmart, I was sent the unique board game to review, Squashed. We have never played a game like this one before, and we are having a blast! I am beyond excited to share with all of you this wonderful Gift Idea For The Kids!
Squashed is a 3D board game, and the object of the game is to be the last pawn standing. {Easier said than done, but more on that below.} It has been the recipient of 2 awards in 2014 both the 2014 Family Fun Top 15 and 2014 Game of the Year in the Kid's Games Category from Creative Child Magazine.

Cooking It Up With A WestBend 5Qt. Versatility Cooker ~ Review
*I received the product below for reviewing purposes. I was not required to write a positive review. see disclosure.
I don't know what it is about fall that has me reaching for the slow cooker, but I do this every year. Our family menu transitions to dishes like stews with dumplings, appetizers, and other recipes made in a slow cooker a few times a week. I really like to take items to holiday dinners and get together's in our slow cooker too, but I didn't have a travel case. Keeping that lid on the slow cooker while traveling was such a hassle in a vehicle filled with rowdy kiddos, as you can imagine. BrylaneHome has shown me the perfect solution by opening my eyes to a wonderful kitchen must have - the WestBend 5 Qt. Versatility Cooker.
