Check out some of my favorites..

Give the gift of Doterra Essential Oils this year

I have a deep love for essential oils. It was actually my mom who got me into them with the start of the Melaleuca oil. After I saw the use of that one my curiosity grew and I fell in love. The rest is history. One of my all time favorite brands is Doterra because their quality is just out of this world. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite products, plus a couple of great Christmas gift ideas you can give this year.

Feltman Doll Parker is the Perfect addition this Christmas

Feltman Brothers Dolls have always been a favorite of Fallon’s. This Christmas I’m excited to say that she is expanding her doll family with her first boy doll and his name is Parker. He is the perfect boy to add to her collection. Check him out below and also his accessories along with other options that Feltman Brothers has to offer.

Give the Gift of Sleep with a Spoon Mattress

Right now I’m in the process of redoing Fallon’s entire room. The most important piece is the mattress in my opinion. A good night's sleep is so important. I’m a firm believer that having a good mattress from a young age will help you sleep better. That’s why I chose Spoon Sleep Hybrid Mattress for her. She’s used to a Queen size bed so I stayed with that, plus this way it will grow with her. With all the features it really was a no-brainer. See what I mean below.

 

Heifer International helps families around the world earn a living

Even though 2020 has been so hard it has made us realize how much we need to give to each other. Over the years I have noticed companies giving back and I love it, you know I do, but something about 2020 and a rise in companies. Maybe I’m just more aware of it this year and noticing it more, I don’t know but there really seems to be an increase. Heifer International is one of those companies that care so much about the people. They help families in over 21 countries get livestock and other animals that help support their families. Their entire model is supporting people. Check below on how you can help. Keep in mind that giving in someone’s name is a great Christmas gift.

LEGO Trolls sets and a new Trolls World Tour video kids will love

When Trolls World Tour came out on digital I think it was on a loop. I may be able to recite the entire movie at this point, that’s how much Fallon loved it. I was ok with it since it’s a super cute movie and well I liked singing along with the songs. What can I say, I like the music. Fast forward a few months to November and a new Trolls music movie has come out but this time in LEGO form, which of course Fallon was excited to hear about. Plus in true LEGO fashion, you can buy some amazing toys that go along with the video. Check it out below.

Franklin and Whitman has beauty products for the whole family this Christmas

Skincare is so important and with so many different types of skin and let’s face it hormones (I do have a pregnant girl in the house) we need the best. I recently found a company that would allow me to get what I need, Mya needs and Dan too (the little ones are left out of this one, sorry guys). Finding a company that gives all 3 of us, is like a hallelujah moment. Not only that but they are natural, Vegan, and a percentage of every purchase goes towards Dog rescue organizations. I mean hands down Franklin and Whitman is rocking it. Check out below to see the products we all got. They make for great gifts this Christmas as well.

Steven Universe Box set now available for Christmas

To say that Canon love Steven Universe is a bit of an understatement. The kid is OBSESSED! It’s by far his favorite show right now. He was a little upset that he couldn’t find all the episodes on streaming (like Hulu). So when I learned that my friends over at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment were releasing a box set I knew it would blow his mind.

Domino Brown Sugar Cookies

Around Christmas time it’s not unusual for me to go through a few (ok more than a few) pounds of brown sugar, who and who knows how much regular sugar and flour. To say the least, I bake a lot. Baking calms me when I’m stressed and it helps that my friends and family love my cooking and baking. Good quality products make a dish live up to it’s potential. That’s why one of my favorite brands is Domino Sugar.

Sack Cloth and Ashes gives to kids in Foster care

I don’t hide the fact that I was adopted as it’s a big part of who I am, and a lot of things have happened that shouldn’t happen to anyone, but I can’t dwell on it or let if define me.  What I can do is take those memories and have them help others in similar situations. That’s what the people at Sack Cloth and Ashes are doing and it warms my heart.

Bright Stripes Mash-Up kit will have your kids Creating Masterpieces

Creativity is something that we really strive for in my house. I want the kids to use their imagination, not just sit and watch TV. We have a whole closet full of games, and activities that are geared towards non-screen time games and such. One of the favorite things that all 3 kids love to do is Paint. When I saw that Bright Stripes has a kit called Mash-Up, I knew it would be perfect for all the kids. Each pack comes with slightly different items but has everything you need to create a masterpiece check out below and you can see what Fallon made.

Give your kiddos the PAW Patrol: Pup-Tastic! 8-DVD Collection

Who doesn’t love Paw Patrol? It has something for everyone right? In my house the biggest Paw fan is my 17-year-old. I’m not sure why, but she loves Sky and all the other pups. She even has a blanket and a pillow with them all on it. I think it’s great as there really is no age limit on these guys, they are there for everyone. When I saw they had a box set out, I thought it would be a great gift idea. It’s the PAW Patrol: Pup-Tastic! 8-DVD Collection Limited Edition Marshall's Fire Truck. Try saying that 10 times really fast haha.

 

Preserve Memories this year with Epson Expression XP-5100

My mom’s birthday is next week and this is the first one since she passed away, so a lot of memories come up. One of the memories is that of her meals were always so good. I’ve been wanting to save her recipes before something happened to them. So when Epson sent me the Expression XP-5100 it was the perfect timing as the printer has a scanner on it. Please take a look below at how I preserved some of her recipes and maybe this could be a great gift idea for someone on your list too. Don’t miss a fantastic recipe at the end. I couldn’t help but make one of the recipes.

Give The Cabinet Caddy and The Go Hang It for Christmas this year

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE the show Home Edit and it has inspired me to redo my entire kitchen and moving onto the rest of my house and organize like crazy. In doing that I need supplies and tools. Two of those supplies are from Inspire PDG and are a Cabinet Caddy and The Go Hang It. Check out below how I used both and how they can be the perfect Christmas present.

Give Gamers a new Headset this Christmas

I you play a lot of video games on a PS4 or Xbox then you know how that you need a headset. Talking to the person you are playing against is a lot of fun. It also makes for a great gift you have a gamer on your list. Here are 2 really great options from LucidSound if you are needing a last minute gift idea.  

Make sure you get your TastyKake Holiday Treats

Treats are a part of the holidays. You can’t have the holiday season without having a cookie or some type of goodie. TastyKake makes a special holiday line that is so fresh you think it just came off the assembly line. You can also use them as stocking stuffers, well some of them. I wouldn’t do the Maple sweet rolls, they are kind of sticky.  

Abominable now available in Blu-ray and DVD

Did you see Abominable in the theater a few months ago? It’s beyond cute. Fallon saw in the theater and love it. This is one of those movies that you can sing along with, laugh and feel good that your little one is watching. The Blu-ray and DVD is now available which means you can bet it just in time for Christmas. I know she will be getting it in her stocking, and she will be so excited on Christmas morning.

personalized planners make great gifts

I love planners. There is something about order and being in control of at least part of my day. Back in the day at the end of the year you went to the store and just bought whatever the store had. Now, you can design your own. Now, there are companies like PurpleTrail that allow you to customize almost every inch of the planner so it’s just the way to like it.

Give the Gift of Coffee

My friends know that I love coffee. The running joke is that caffeine is what’s running through my veins and not blood. I’m sure we all have a friend that is like that, I know I’m not alone (I can’t be). If you have any die-hard coffee lovers on your Christmas shopping list like me take a look at Steeped Coffee, this may be a winner. They aren’t your typical run of the mill coffee company.
