Kmart Filling Carts for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
December 21, 2014 by 5 Comments
We were invited to participate in a wonderful and fun charity initiative at Kmart, to benefit the patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
We went on our very own version of a “toy run” along with Marlo Thomas, a St. Jude patient, and Kmart’s K-Club bloggers, filling our #KmartCarts with as many toys as we could. The toys were then donated by Kmart to be given as gifts to current patients at St. Jude.
Since we were all savvy toy-buying moms, our expert shopping spree resulted in more than $10,000 worth of toys that will be distributed at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis! Along with Kmart’s K-Club bloggers, Marlo and a St. Jude patient will stock the #KmartCarts with the hottest toys of the season to donate to families who will spend their holidays at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Disclosure: The Whitwell Earrings from Waffles & Honey Jewelry mentioned below were provided for me in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.
I absolutely love finding great companies that have wonderful products. I must admit that when I first saw Waffles & Honey, I was in awe and had to look at a huge part of their website before I could do anything else. I was so excited to try out the Whitwell Earrings in Chalcedony.
About Waffles & Honey:
Waffles and Honey Jewelry was founded by designer Karina Harris and named after her beloved childhood pets. It was created in the Fall of 2013 after Karina’s passion for collecting and designing jewelry grew into a small business.
Her passion began when the San Francisco native first stepped into her local bead store. In her late teens, she then went to explore South America, Africa, and Asia, where she was inspired by the textiles, jewelry and designs she discovered there.
Waffles & Honey Jewelry has become a reflection of Karina’s travels, and the confident, eclectic women who inspire her. Each of the stones and quality metal in the jewelry have been hand selected.
A Visit With Santa

We had a fun visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus this week. After our visit, we were able to watch “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman” with the other kids, and my son was thrilled. A bonus? Every kid was given a raffle ticket as we entered, and my sweet boy won a prize!

Adventure To Santa at the Cherry Hill Mall
December 10, 2014 by 8 Comments
“Tis the season for all things Holly and Jolly, and that usually includes a visit to see Santa. This year, if you are in the area, why not shake things up and visit Santa AND Shrek at the same time?
Best part? You get a whole experiance, not just a quickie Santa’s lap visit and photo. Wait, no, the best part is that you don’t’ have to wait on a zillion hour line. You RSVP online for a time slot, show up, and go right in. We got there just on time, checked in, and waited maybe 5-10 minutes to get inside. Maybe the best part is that the kids were REALLY excited about all the stuff they got to do while on the tour. Or that the price for the tour and photos are not any higher then they were for a typical Santa photo (The cost for a single photo with Santa at Radio City Music Hall is $25. At our local mall, it’s $20. Here, you get a 3 photos of your choice, in a variety of sizes, for $30.) There are a lot of “Best Parts”….It’s hard to choose the best-best part.

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular
December 2, 2014 by 1 Comment
This past weekend, we went into New York City to see the The Radio City Christmas Spectacular. It’s one of those things that you need to do at least once in your life, if not more often (if you are close enough that you are able).
Starting on November 7, and running through December 31, you and your family and friends can go see one of NYC’s iconic show’s (and some of the world’s most iconic dancers) to really get the holiday season started.
My son was able to meet some of the lovely ladies of the Radio City Rockettes, which was of course fun. (There was a teenage boy waiting behind us, I think it was a little more fun for him, but still.) The Rockettes have been performing at Radio City since 1932, and during the Christmas season they preform 7 days a week. The Rockettes also perform every year at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC and America’s Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit. This past week, they also lit the Empire State Building red and green for Christmas. Gotta love those hard-working ladies!
