I Have Hit the Jackpot with this RazorX Surprise!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.


To me, the best kind of surprise to give the kids is the one you know they're going to love, but they didn't ask for and don't have a clue that they're getting! This Christmas, my tween who loves to skateboard will be getting a RazorX Cruiser Electric Skateboard (lithium-powered) with a remote control. It's unlike anything he's ever had before, and I know he's going to flip (haha, I mean that figuratively, not literally, though he might be excited enough to do that too).

We'll be at Legoland this Weekend! Now I Hear Santa will be Too!


Legoland is one of my most favorite places to go. It is truly geared towards kids with rides galore and LEGOS everywhere. My granddaughter went with us last time and she's going with us again this time, but so far, it's been kept a surprise (her dad is driving her up there to meet us). Boy, is she going to get a kick out of it. Ya know, I'm really loving this grandma gig. :)  What better way to kick of December, than with a trip to Legoland, a chance to see Santa and a free picture with him to boot? :)

It is, after all, a Holiday Gift Guide and should be authentic in its suggestions and ideas. This year, I'm recycling an older post with a product I still love to this day, and the sponsor has generously offered to give one away to a lucky reader too to help celebrate the holidays and the great holiday sales (thank you, AirFree!!).

So, it's not often I come across coffee that is really different but with this Java House Authentic Cold Brew, I think I'm on to something (and they are too!). First off I want to say, don't let the name of it fool you, this isn't just for cold coffee. You can make it hot, or you can make it cold. But what makes the Java House Dual Use Pods different?

Wordless Wednesday: Whose Tree is it Anyway?


She thinks the Christmas Tree is for her. She sleeps under it, plays with what she can reach, and goes there for a retreat more than her cat tower. I hate to be the one to break it to her that it's not a permanent fixture in the house. I guess we'll wait to let her know. ;)

Vince Gill Double Vinyl Christmas Music Exclusively made for Cracker Barrel

Disclosure: this is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.


Exclusively made for Cracker Barrel, these LPs are just festive!

Ask this child if he likes country music, and this is the hearty laugh you will get. He's not typically a fan. He did, however, love these two albums, appropriately colored red and green despite them being by one of country's greats, Vince Gill. Why? Because they are filled with so many of his holiday favorites (my boy likes Christmas). I love them too, for many reasons, but most especially because Gill has a clear and pure voice that lends itself well to these seasonal selections.

Holiday Vacation Time Coming up Soon? Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort is PERFECT for Families!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.



Just a few hours of driving is perfect to keep you close enough to home, but still far enough away that it feels like a mini-vacation. Cocoa Beach is not that far from us. It's a nice little area known for beach time and surfing. We had never been, and decided it was time to remedy that, so we packed up our car and headed straight to the Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort.

If you're looking for a resort that has a traditional pool (7ft in the deep end!), a jacuzzi, a water park for the smaller kids, a lazy river (yes, I did say a lazy river) all by itself (so fun!) AND all-night access to the private beach, then this is the place for you too. I had heard prior to our visit that Cocoa Beach resorts really have it going on; this one was the perfect introduction for us to prove that rumor to be true.
