NEW Holiday Movie “Santa’s Little Helper” Out on DVD + Giveaway

Posted on November 17, 2015 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Christmas movies, Mike “The Miz”, Santa's Little Helper movie | 2 Comments

One of my favorite family holiday traditions is to watch Christmas movies during the month of December. We usually pick out one or two DVDs to watch over the weekend & then when our daughter starts her winter vacation from school, we increase it to one movie per night until Christmas Day. As you can imagine, our DVD bookshelf has a wide selection of holiday movies. It's so fun to get cozy on the couch with our mugs of hot chocolate or hot … [Read more...]

#EatDrinkThink with Cheeky Paper Products!

Who knew that a product that is used in my household on a weekly basis would be so revolutionary? To be honest with you, when I first saw Cheeky paper plates at Target, I thought wow, what cute patterns but I'll just stick with my "XYZ brand" of paper plates. Then I saw a cool Cheeky product photo on Instagram. That got me into researching their Twitter & Facebook page, only to discover that while their product is of primary importance, it is … [Read more...]

Also their … [Read more...]
