While I'll be off for a few days spending time with my family I wanted to share this fun image of Baymax from Big Hero 6. We took the Booper to see this movie in theaters and it was really great, my husband enjoyed it the most. If you haven't already, you can watch the trailer below and check out all the fun happening on social media. 

Ready For The Holidays With #CamerasatBestBuy

I have been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card in exchange for this post. See Disclosure.
The holiday season is upon us! This year don't leave recording your precious holiday memories to chance. I'll never forget the year I forgot to bring my camera along with me to our large family Christmas. Several family members offered to share pictures with me, but let's face it no one will get exactly the shots you're looking for. I was so disappointed later when looking back at the pictures from that year. We didn't get a picture with our whole family. You don't want to make the same mistake that I did, be prepared and bring your own camera. Don't have a digital camera? Best Buy has you covered! There's still time to explore all the best cameras and find one that's right for you. 

Stop Making Your Child's Bed! Zipit Bedding Review

I received the below mentioned product free for review, all views and opinions are my own. See Disclosure.
Have you ever heard the phrases, "sleep tight" or "sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite"? When I was a kid I thought bed bugs were a myth parents told their kids to keep them in bed. I would wrap up in my blankets like a burrito not wanting my toe to pop out from under the covers (at least in the winter time) for fear a bed bug might bite. Isn't it funny how we view things when we're young? Like how making your bed seemed like a waste of time. I never understood the point of making my bed back then. Now that I'm a mom and having to keep house, I realize the torture I put my own mom through every day. I can't remember a time when I thought making my bed was fun. I'm excited for the Booper being only four he loves making his own bed with Zipit Bedding! 

Your Best Holiday Shot With A Canon From Best Buy #HintingSeason

I have been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free in exchange for this post. See Disclosure.
As an avid scrapbooker and paper crafter I think having great pictures to capture those special memories is where it all starts. At family gatherings we like to joke that we're all paparazzi when it comes to taking pictures of the kids. The great thing about digital photography is you don't have to spend a fortune on film, you can take as many pictures as you like! We're all looking for that perfect shot, and now it's easier than ever with digital imaging and Canon.

We had the privilege of listening to a presentation given by members of the Dr Pepper Snapple team, and to participate in an open forum where we could ask our questions.

Fetching Fun With The Happy's

I received the below mentioned toy for review, all views and opinions are my own. See Disclosure.
What could be more fun than playing fetch with a furry friend? Pets are fun to play with whether they're real or simply a great toy. The Booper loves pets of all kinds and his newest friend is one of The Happy's from Cepia, the makers of ZhuZhu Pets. His lovable new pet's name is Thunder, and his bright blue fur makes him easy to spot zooming across our kitchen floor. Thunder came with his own special treat that will make him wiggle for joy. Each of The Happy's comes with a treat that unlocks a different trick, such as pounce, chase, wiggle or beg! All treats work with any pet, so the more treats you have, the more tricks your pet can do!

In the season of being very busy our family still tries to make time for gathering around the table for a sit-down meal. With my husband working lots of overtime and the Booper having after-school programs, I've got to keep my meal planning simple. For being a very picky eater the Booper loves potatoes! Potatoes are delicious and filling, but such a pain to wash and peel. Thankfully, Idahoan offers easy solutions to add potatoes to the menu.

Treasured Holiday Memories {Holiday Sweepstakes}

This conversation is brought to you by Coupons.com, all views and opinions are my own. See Disclosure.
With Christmas 2014 approaching this is the time of year when I start to reflect on past holidays and how quickly time flies. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating baby's first Christmas and now he's four and has a list a mile long for Santa, a man the Booper can't stop talking about. I know I'm like every other doting parent, but I really do have the sweetest kid. The other day while engaging in one of our many MANY talks about Kris Kringle the Booper asked me what we should buy for Santa. I was a bit stunned by the question. I had never thought about giving Santa something. so this will be our first year to set out milk and cookies for Jolly St. Nick.

I received the below mentioned product free for review, all views and opinions are my own. Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment. See Disclosure. 
If there's one thing most families say they want more of- it's time spent together. Life can get so busy and we sometimes push the most important things to the back burner while we get through the week. I know it's so easy to do, since we've been there the last few weeks while my husband was switched to a night shift schedule. We've just been going through the motions of school, work and chores. We rarely have time to sit down as a family and do a devotion. I was delighted to have the opportunity to receive the Family Box to change all that. Family Box is a simple subscription box designed to make family devotions easy and fun for younger children. Exactly what we've been needing!
