Holiday fashions with OshKosh B’gosh (coupon)

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’gosh. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

There are three main reasons OshKosh B’gosh is always one of my go-to brands for our kids: it’s quality clothing that’s durable and affordable, it’s always age appropriate (0-12), and it’s CUTE. I wore OshKosh when I was litte—I remember my mom saving to shop at OshKosh B’gosh and outfits from there were a special treat! We still have some

12 Best Ho-Ho-Holiday Pies

Written in partnership with foodie.com. Any opinions are my own!

Pies are on my list this year to bring to our family Thanksgiving! We always do a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie (who doesn’t?!), but sometimes I like to spice things up! My chocolate pecan pie is the best and I’d love to give some of these other recipes a try, too.

Top 9 educational toys from Discovery Toys

Do you remember playing with Discovery Toys when you were a kid? I do and I’m thrilled to be buying them now for my kids! You must at least remember their marbleworks toy—it’s still the best!

We had some educational toy that I was obsessed with—like word problems, matching, simple math kind of things. They don’t have it anymore, but I’d say their current “It’s a Match” game is the closest thing to it.

So I came up with a list of my favorite education toys from Discovery Toys. My friend

Our Holiday MOMents

If you follow me on Facebook, you know I’ve been living in a house of SICK for over a week.

I feel out of the loop and we’re just starting to climb out of this mess. There seems to be so much pressure during the holidays, but it’s also a time that CAN be filled with amazing memories… so let’s stop and enjoy the MOMents!

‘Tis the season… for broken Christmas lights! (giveaway)

Ahhhhhh, there’s almost nothing worse than untangling an entire string of Christmas lights, setting them up, and plugging them in to discover they don’t work or half the string is out. GAH! At least I’ve learned my lesson and don’t set the lights up anymore before testing them, haha, but what do you do when you have broken Christmas lights?! Have you ever had to sit there and test every.single.bulb. by removing it and putting in a new one and waiting to see if that fixes everything? It’s just a terrible way to live

A gift for the husband AND son!

I remember playing with these when I was a kid… I was in some “smart kid” group in elementary school and we staying in during recess time some days to build with these in the school library. Too cool, right?!

Now, it’s funny to hear the stories from my mother-in-law about how my husband used to sit in their basement for hours on end building these, too. She’d have to call him up for dinner after he had sat down there all day… making creations!

So… this gift idea was a no brainer! I’m
