#HolidayGiftGuide 2015 Coloring: Not Only for Kids #KeepCalmandColorOn from @PutMeInTheStory

It's inevitable  that the Holiday Season  while full of Family Fun and JOY....brings along a little STRESS Too.

 It started as a niche hobby has now turned into an international trend, as adult coloring books. However, while this trend may be a fun way to pass the time,  the books’ therapeutic properties is really why they are flying off shelves.

I'm not about to get technical (I don't have the MD for that) but in my own personal research   I've notice a simple common theme among all the medical talk-  In coloring we focus on a particular activity, we focus on it and not on our worries. But it also "brings out our imagination" and takes us back to our childhood, a period in which we most certainly had a lot less stress.

I found a great company Keep Calm and Color On that has a beauitful selection. What I love MOST is the  personalized coloring book! Makes a great gift-especially 

PutMeInTheStory.com, Keep Calm and Color On: For Stress Relief. Now through December 13^th, you can purchase the books individually for $19.99 each or 2 for $30 when you use the code RELAX at checkout.

I love the personal touches though out the book. It's very hard to find items with my daughter's name on it -so often it's a special order item. She has a new found love for coloring so I know Keep Calm and Color On is the perfect gift for her!

SEAL "7" #Review #o2o

Disclosure:  I participated in the 7 album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided an album to review but all opinions are my own

On November 6th 2015 Seal released his album 7.I really like Seal's voice and anything he sings. I like this music- a few critics are saying it's not his best work- I feel I need to give the CD more time. It truly possesses that flavor which only he can give to music.

IN SEALS WORDS 

“The album concerns the most sung about, most talked about, and most documented emotion—love,” he affirms. “I tried to capture all of the wonderfully different dynamics of love, whether it’s the anger, the acceptance, the bliss, the sadness, the elation, or the recklessness. It’s this emotion and the ways it makes us feel. It’s about the extreme joy 

and the extreme regret as well as all of the crazy things love makes us do.”

Tracklist

01-Daylight Saving 02-Every Time I'm With You 03-Life on the Dancefloor 04-Padded Cell 05-Do You Ever 06-The Big Love Has Died 07-Redzone Killer 08-Monascow 09-Half A Heart 10-Let Yourself 11-Love WE Found Love-BONUS TRACK Whatever You Need -BONUS TRACK  All the songs are beautifully made and arranged. With Trevor Horn and Seal working together to deliver excellent music.  At this time Half A Heart is my top pick! Thanks to One2One Network for the opportunity to review it.

Keep up with the latest visiting Seal's website and you can follow via Twitter,Facebook and YouTube. 

#REVIEW For Fall #choosegood @annieshomegrown Organic Star Pasta & Chicken Soup #foodie

Annie's offers what families are  looking to make favorite meals (and snacks!) with more healthy options- one of our favorite for the Fall/Winter months is Annie's Homegrown Organic Star Pasta & Chicken Soup:

• USDA organic
• No artificial flavors, synthetic colors or preservatives
• Organic chicken--no antibiotics added
• No added MSG or yeast extract

and it pairs well with Annie's Cheddar Bunnies -

Mr.Ryan  had NO problem digging into this meal! =) Because he's not so steady with a spoon and he wants to feed himself I gave him more of the pasta and just a little broth -just enough for the  "Bunnies to Swim"  as Miss Molly  likes to say. 

One box feed tow hungry kids with a few bunnies thrown in too--so it's worth the investment to provide a healthier meal!

I received this product for free in my Infuenster VoxBox ComfortBox. All opinions here are 100% my own.

This Holiday Season Snacks can be delicious @GoOrganically

Tis' the season for Family parties! Finding great snacks that kids and parents can agree on doesn't have to be a battle anymore.

Unlike other fruit snacks on the market, Go Organically is made with multiple real fruit purees that taste delicious. It is GMO free, gluten free, contains 100% DV vitamin C, is an excellent source of Vitamins A&E, and has a delicious taste and texture. I had a few snack packs myself =} 

 At Go Organically, their mission is simple. They believe fruit snacks should be made with real fruit. Their motto says it all – “Go Organically®…You’ll like what’s in it.  You’ll love what’s not!™

If you have little ones in the house or will be hosting a gathering this season buying some Go Organically  snacks is a super ideal! If your not hosting a party but there are little ones I'm sure they would be thrilled to find a few packs of these in their stockings--just look at the smile I got from Miss Molly!!!

Gift for the Tech Toddler #BabysBrilliant Books with interactive app #HolidayGiftGuide

Children everywhere are so  absorbed in electronics. Now as parents we have to find a way to balance their screen time with educational play.

The Baby’s Brilliant app is available for FREE download on the iTunes store-  provides wholesome, educational content to children to have educational fun. Baby's Brilliant has also open up reading books creating using the app they can have fun with the story.  Books are available to use with an interactive app  for $.99 (Kindle Edition) or $7.00 (paperback) at www.amazon.com.  

Such books include Nigel the Pug, an adorable pup that your young ones will want to hug and cuddle immediately. Your son or daughter will hang on every word as they are taken on a sweet journey with this lovable pug who will delight and entertain your little ones.

A Huggly-Wuggly-Pug is another  book about a cute pug who goes about his day looking for Huggly-Wuggly hugs. 

The stories themselves are  great to add to any readers library...but the interactive app sure made the story even more appealing to Miss Molly and Lil Ryan and if it meets their approval its a WINNER!!

Baby's Brilliant's first read-along Bible Study book will be coming soon.

As an additional service, Baby’s Brilliant offers parents on the road, grandparents in another town or loved ones who don't live nearby, the ability to record their own voice reading the story. For a small fee, the Baby’s Brilliant team will edit their voice into the presentation. This is perfect for the upcoming holiday season – and a heartwarming gift for any child with a family member who is away from home.

@FinallyBulbs Makes Sense & Saves You Dollars! #lighting #energyefficiency #review

Give light and people will find the way." - Ella Bake



The Finally Light Bulb Company has done just that, they created Acandescence, an innovative lighting technology for everyday home use, which reliably recreates the same light as an incandescent without the energy waste or excessive cost. 

The light it produces is both eco and consumer-friendly, easy on the wallet and comfortable on the eyes. That's a WINNER in my book!

With roots in induction technology, Acandescence uses a copper coil – not a tungsten filament or an electrode – to generate light. Last 15 times longer – providing up to $75 worth of savings over its lifetime. Formed in the recognizable and attractive Edison light bulb shape no more spaghetti bulbs!

When you fist put the bulb i and turned it on  I noticed  it tool about 5 seconds to reach full brightness. Starting at under $10 I'm going to invest in a few more. Not too many though the dark dingy bulbs I was using  was great for hiding all my dust-now that I've illuminated the room I'm needing to clean more! =}

Finally Light Bulbs are available for purchase on their site as well as sites like Quidsi.com, Soap.com,  and Amazon

I really like their tag line- "We didn't invent the light bulb. We just made it better."
