Here Comes The Bride!!
Nooooo, I’m not getting married. And neither is my adorable model 5-year-old Alice. But this dress made Alice feel like a bride! So much so that we spent an entire afternoon making the living-room bride central. We started with Alice’s pretend make up set where I channeled my inner Bobbi Brown and did her subtle make up to make her inner beauty shine. (Am I good or WHAT!!??) Alice would hold the mirror as I applied her makeup. I would say ‘do you see how this color brings out your eye color?’ Alice actually SAW color and would say “YOU are RIGHT!” I love, love, LOVE imagination play!! When Alice’s…

See You Later, Alligator!!
Ha Ha! Did that worry you? Pallllease…. I’m not going anywhere for a while. (I hope!!) See You Later, Alligator is a children’s book written by Sally Hopgood and Illustrated by Emma Levey. What a cute story this one is!! Imagine a cute little tortoise and the largest Zoo you’ve ever been in. The adorable little tortoise is heading out to explore the world! He has his camera, sleeping bag, knapsack packed and he is ready for an adventure! However, he can’t possibly leave without saying goodbye to his friends. Each. AND. Every. Single. One!! This reminded me of trying to get my kids to say their prayers at night. When we would get…

That’s Not The Monster We Ordered!!
And I’m not talking about your kids! Or your grandkids. See how your mind works??? That’s Not The Monster We Ordered is a book written by Richard Fairgray, Terry Jones and Tara Black. Now you’ll remember Alice and I reviewed Gorillas In Our Midst and My Grandpa Is A Dinosaur a while back and they are both still top favorites for five-year-old Alice. I’ve told you before; the kid has a library that rivals any adults!! Alice loves to read! Okay, Alice loves to be READ TOO. (However, the Kindergarten kid is picking up this reading thing pretty darn quickly!) Every single night Alice gets a bedtime story or 4.…

October 2016 $50 Your Way Giveaway!!
Here it is October already!! GESH!! We will be celebrating 2017 pretty soon! AMAZING how fast time is going. Kinergarten for five-year-old Alice is going great. A couple of days were rocky but all in all it’s been awesome! My big MYSTERY (I know it’s YOU Daniel!!) is getting mysterious postcards in the mail with one or two lines written out for a song that I hate! HATE the song!! The postcard picture and lyrics are just enough to get that song playing in my head again. It’s brilliant. It’s funny. They are postmarked from different states. It’s a brilliant gag. NOW STOP IT!! And NO; I’m not telling any…

Vantrue X1 Full HD 1080P Dash Cam Review
I have complained several times about Southern California’s freeways. Although the word freeway sounds very fast when actually they should be called parking lots. 8 lanes of parking lots. I know what you are thinking, then why don’t you move? Several reasons. First my Grandbabies are all right here within miles of my house. Second, I’m lazy. Third and truly the most honest response would be I have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF to even think about moving!! It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Now, if everyone drove as safe and cautiously as I do (MAN! I am one funny, funny girl!!) I wouldn’t need a dash cam.…

Sunwell Saline Water Christmas Lights Review
This is the COOLEST set of lights I’ve ever owned!! I am dumbfounded at how they can work without any batteries and without any plugs!!! We couldn’t WAIT for these lights to arrive. From start to finish this is the COOLEST set of lights!! First, they arrive wrapped like a Christmas gift, white box and bright red ribbon. What a very nice touch!! The Sunwell Saline Water LED Lights work without any batteries, no solar panel, no electrical plug. Simple salt water. SO cool!!!! This light is also water proof so it can be set outside in the rain or the snow! And all it will cost you is salt!!…

Princess Rapunzel! (Well, The Dress Anyway!) Review
I swear five-year-old Alice is in Princess heaven again! Check out this amazing dress from Mini Kitty. The dress is labeled as Girls Sophia Princess Long Sleeve Dress but the dress itself has a small plastic brooch with Rapunzel’s picture. So, just a little confusing there. The very first Halloween costume I can remember that I personally picked out was Casper the Ghost. With the plastic mask and the small piece of elastic that held it in place. The ‘ghost’ part slipped over my head and had a print out of a ghost. I remember ripping it before I was even done ‘trick or treating’ for the night. To say…
