Colossal Christmas Countdown:

1 Days Until Christmas Eve!

Jewelry is one of my absolute favorite things to give as gifts as well as buy for myself!  There is no easier way to completely change an outfit, then by changing what jewelry you decide to pair with it.  I also think that jewelry is a very fun and interesting way to express yourself and I'm always on the hunt for something extraordinary to wear.

That's why I'm so happy to have discovered the world of Guy and Eva!  Keep reading to find out all about this unique collection of jewelry and why it is at the top of my list of gift suggestions this season!

2 Days Until Christmas!

There's nothing better after a relaxing bath or shower than drying off with an extremely soft, yet absorbent bath towel.  Finding quality bath linens isn't always easy though, for I can never seem to find the perfect combination of softness and absorbency.  Most of the time, the thick fluffy towels I have don't dry well at all and merely move the water around on my body instead of soaking it up.

Although they feel great, they're pretty much useless.  Inevitably, I end up reverting back to the super thin and super rough towels I own only because they are great at absorbing water.  Nicole Jane Home carries an entire line of Aegean towels made from 100% Turkish cotton.  Keep reading to find out whether these towels could be both soft AND absorbent at the same time!

2 Days Until Christmas!

Children have such active imaginations, which for the most part, are great things.  But unfortunately, at night their imaginations can run wild, turning every little noise they hear into a scary and horrendous monster or ghost.  It's imperative that small children have night lights in their rooms so that the dark doesn't overwhelm them, and now a company called Blue Moon Lites, Inc. has invented the most unique night light I've ever seen, called KinderGlo!  Keep reading to learn all about the night lights your children will love!

3 Days Until Christmas!

One of the best things about the holidays is the abundance of lights everywhere!  From the Christmas trees, to our front yards, to the myriad of candles all around, the holidays are definitely filled with lights.  Of course, if you have any candles at all, you know how essential a quality candle lighter is.

Many, many years ago, I used to use a regular lighter to light my candles.  But, after a ton of burned fingertips, cuss words and even an artificial nail that lit up like a Roman candle, I decided to find a better way.  Zippo has been making top quality lighters for 75 years now and I was thrilled to learn that they also make candle lighters too.  Keep reading to learn more about them!

I love spending quality time with my daughter, but have to admit that at times, I'm not quite sure how to play with her.  Since I'm not the most adept at playing toddler games, I really appreciate any toy that helps me learn and play with Riley in a manner that she also finds entertaining.  Ideally, I want to spend quality time with her while she has fun AND learns a great deal in the process.

Play This Way Every Day is a company founded by a pediatrician with four children, who found a way to help parents interact with their children while they learn and develop at the same time.  What a win-win situation!  The name of this game is called the U-Play Mat.  I had the chance to review the entire U-Play Mat Professional Edition and you have a chance to win one here too!  Keep reading to learn all about it!

Puzzles are a classic toy which will always fascinate and be enjoyable for children.  My daughter absolutely LOVES doing puzzles, for it fills her with a great sense of achievement when she can finally figure out just how those pieces fit together and she views the completed picture.

Since I am always searching for a great source of quality children's puzzles, I was thrilled when I happened upon Educational Toys Planet.  They have such a wide selection of puzzles, which all look very stimulating for children.  I had the opportunity to review the Melissa & Doug Patchwork Farm Jigsaw Puzzle.  Keep reading to learn much more!
