Christmas by Lamplight at Black Creek

We had an amazing time at Black Creek Pioneer Village, as we enjoyed the annual Christmas by Lamplight program. This is a fun, memorable, and most importantly a relaxing educational experience that everyone in my family enjoyed. We loved the atmosphere. Going back in time to learn and experience how the pioneers would have enjoyed the festive season is awesome!

Nobody Takes Care Quite #LikeMomDoes

Over the years, my mom has gone out of her way to help me smile especially when I am unwell by making me soup, and getting me what I need, so I can get back on my feet. As a mom, I do the same with my children. I find it heart breaking to watch our children being sick and not being able to do enough to help them.

Organizing using Chalkboard Tape

I enjoyed using removable chalkboard tape and organizing. This is an easy and practical way to organize anything we want. I usually use this drawer to put different things, so I like having this removable chalkboard tape on the drawers. This allows me to write what is inside the drawers, erase and rewrite when I change the content.

Prepare Yourself with Winter Boots

Having the proper winter boots is very important! When I buy winter boots for my family and myself I look at three things: how warm the boots will keep our feet, the grip on the boots so we can avoid mishaps, and the style. I love the quality of Columbia brand winter boots because of my prior experiences with them. They not only last long, but also keep me warm, and it is footwear I can rely on. 

PAM No Residue Compared to a Competitor Brand

Sometimes I feel it is hard to clean and remove the residue off of cookware and bakeware after we make meals on it. Recently, when I was comparing PAM's new 97% less residue formula to another competitor brand cooking spray I found a slight difference.

If you are an Android phone user, and you are looking to upgrade to a phone that has new features you might like this fabulous new Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 Smartphone.

Get Ready for #WorstCooks New Season January 3rd

The shows on Food Network are not always about cooking and baking. It is about learning skills and cooking competitions. I sometimes like to watch shows with kitchen challenges like the Food Network Worst Cooks in America because it is a competition series that transforms kitchen disasters into skilled cooks.

Kylo Ren Costumes and Star Wars Toys Inspired by #TheForceAwakens

My family and I love Star Wars and we are excited about the upcoming movie Star Wars The Force Awakens. My son being a Kylo Ren Fan chose this Kylo Ren costume that comes with the lightsaber online. As a parent, I love letting my children play with costumes especially when they are young because because it helps them develop a variety of skills. Costumes encourage dramatic play, imagination, and creativity. Children can also develop their communication, language, and social skills when they dramatize characters, add emotions, and play with each other.
