(CLOSED) Christmas Gift Guide Review/Giveaway: My Cute Dressups

When deciding what to include on the Christmas Gift Guide, I often go by what my own children want for christmas or what they have loved receiving in past years. My daughter thinks she is a real life princess and feels she could always use a new gown to dress up in. I know many little girls feel this same way and as a mom I know how fun it is to watch your child dressup and and let their imagination take them to where ever it is they want to be.


I was excited to have found the perfect online store which focuses only on dress ups. My Cute Dressups is filled with some of the cutest dress ups for girls, boys and even adults. What really stood out is that ALL of the Costumes and tutus are machine washable. If you are buying dress ups for a child it is likely that they are going to get them dirty and unless it can be washed and hold its quality, it isn't going to be worth your money.

The Review:
My daughter and I decided to go with the Parisian Princess Costume. This dress is beautiful. The fabric and quality is some of the best I have seen from costumes and I was not suprised to learn it was a Little Adventure brand costume. I checked out My Cute Dressup's site again and noticed all of their costumes are the Little Adventure brand. No wonder I feel in love with so many of them.

To add to the excitement even more, My Cute Dressups also has matching dressed for dolls size 18 inch. My Cute Dressups is bound to make your little one's Christmas special.

(CLOSED) Christmas Gift Guide Review/Giveaway: Elfing Around

This is one of our family's favorite traditions during the Christmas season. Actually last year was the first year we invited two elves from the North Pole, AKA Elfing Around, to our home. My children are still talking about the elves and waiting for their next visit this December.

About the visit:
One December morning my children woke up to find two little visitors under the Christmas tree. The elves came with a letter for each child introducing themselves and the importance of their visit. My children welcomed the elves with opened arms. Each night my children would place the elves under the tree and in the morning we would all run to see what mischief the two elves created. One morning we woke up with large marshmallows everywhere (the elves had a snowball fight) and another morning we woke up with underwear all over the tree since the elves took it as part of their duty to decorate our tree extra special.

My children were very sad Christmas Eve night when they had to say goodbye to their new friends. However, on several holidays and around the time of the children's birthdays the elves send each of them postcards. The magic of the elves still continued throughout the year.

Buy It:
order your very own elf! Each package includes a personalized boy or girl elf, a letter from Herbie Elf, Jr., a Parent Adventure Guide, tattoos and so much more. Order today!

Giveaway:
One lucky winner will win one Elf package choice of boy or girl!

To Enter:
Visit Elfing Around and look around their site. Come back and tell me something you found that you and/or your children would enjoy. (This can be anything from items you can order to the free stuff they offer for your children online)

REVIEW: Wilson Phillips "Christmas In Harmony"

Description:
One of the best selling female groups of all time, Wilson Phillips is back together with their first ever Christmas album. The award-winning trio consisting of Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips have recorded 13 holiday songs with their original music producer Glen Ballard, kicking-off the pop group’s overall return. Best known for co-writing Michael Jackson’s hit single Man in the Mirror and producing Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill, Glen Ballard was also the main producer behind Wilson Phillips’ self-titled 1990 debut album, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide and included three #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 (“Hold On”, “Release Me”, and “You’re in Love”).

Review:
One of my favorite things to do on Thanksgiving is turn on Christmas music. This will be one of the cd's I will play. The trios voices are beautiful together and they bring such a great sound to these Christmas songs with a bit of pop. I am somewhat reminded of Mariah Carey's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" album when listening to it. The songs featured on this album are found below.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
Little Drummer Boy
Warm Lovin’ Christmastime
When A Child Is Born
Christmastime
Silent Night
Santa Clause Is Coming to Town
Silver Bells
Sleigh Ride
Joy
Winter Wonderland
The Christmas Song
Our Prayer
