3DLIGHTFX -- The coolest nightlights for your child's room!

Hoping to find a unique Christmas gift this season? Check out 3DLIGHTFX 3D Deco Lights! They are the perfect gift this holiday season for any child or child at heart. They have a full range of super heroes, Disney Princesses, sports and car lights that look as though they are popping right out of the wall! The best part is these awesome nightlights are easily available at Target and Target.com!  I let Z pick which light she wanted and she chose Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony!

Without a doubt, this is Z's favorite thing that I have ever reviewed. The instructions were easy to understand and it was relatively easy to set up on the wall. It's made up of a high quality wall decal and a plastic 3D LED night light. It is battery operated and requires 3 AA batteries that are not included. Z absolutely adores it and she gets compliments on it from everyone who enters her room. One of my favorite aspects is the timer option; after 60 minutes, the light turns off! So, Z can go to turn it on when she goes to bed and I don't have to worry about it staying on all night. The soothing light helps put her to sleep and it looks really, really cute while doing so!

3DLIGHTFX 3D Deco Lights are battery operated, cool to touch, cordless, and come with a crack sticker to make the 3D effect even more realistic! Your kids will love having these in their rooms and they're also the perfect additions to a den, family room, man's cave or office!

Now available at Target.com!

2016 Holiday Gift Guide: PicturesOnGold.com Locket

The best gifts to give (and receive!) are personal, meaningful, and unique. With PicturesOnGold.com, you can customize a gorgeous gift for pretty much everyone on your list! They carry customizable photo lockets, watches, rings, children's jewelry, and more. My absolute favorite thing on their site are their photo lockets-- they are gorgeous, unique, and special.

Last year, I actually received a locket from PicturesOnGold.com for myself filled with pictures of my Dad, Z, and I. It's still the most precious piece of jewelry I own and I get compliments every time I wear it. This year, I wasn't sure who I wanted to create a custom locket for because I knew pretty much any of the ladies in my life would love one! 

This year, I decided to get a heart locket for Z because she has been talking about her desire for a locket since she first saw mine. She said she wanted pictures of her family in it so I found the pictures I wanted and went to work customizing it on their website. The ordering process is simple and you can customize literally every part of the locket-- shape, color, front, inside pictures (or words), back side, and last but not least, the chain.

The front is engraved with her first and middle names, and inside is a picture her and C on one side, and her daddy and I on the other. The back is engraved with the words "My Family". When it arrived, she was in complete shock. She absolutely loves it and has proudly shown it to everyone who inquires about it! 

Even though I adore her new locket, if there was one thing I could change, it would be that they automatically take the backgrounds out of the pictures BUT that's an easy fix. When you order, all you have to do is mention to them that you want to keep the background and they will do what you ask! You truly have complete control over how personalized you want your jewelry.

Overall, there are no words to describe how meaningful this precious locket is to her and we have absolutely no complaints. A personalized piece of jewelry like this would make the perfect Christmas, birthday, or anniversary gift. You could put pictures of your kids, your grandkids, a missed loved one... the options go on and on! PicturesOnGold.com has more than just lockets too so be sure to check out all of their personalized jewelry while shopping this holiday season!

2016 Holiday Gift Guide: Collage.com Fleece Photo Blanket GIVEAWAY

Collage.com is one of my favorite companies of all time and they've been my go-to place for personalized photo products for the last three years now. This was by far the most meaningful thing I ever created with them. It's a gorgeous Custom 50x60" Sherpa Fleece Photo Blanket covered with my favorite photos of my amazing Dad/Z's Papa (you can read my post about my Dad here).

It took me a week to finally decide what I wanted on the blanket and to sort through which photos I wanted to use and it was all worth it; when I received the blanket, it brought tears to my eyes. The ordering process was simple (as always with Collage,com) and the pictures came out clear (some more clear than others, depending on the quality of the photo itself) and overall, the blanket looks amazing.

Z absolutely adores this blanket as well and calls it "My Papa Blanket." I've been considering making a duplicate one for her (which can easily be done on Collage.com by logging in and reordering it) because I want to keep this blanket for myself and I know she's really going to stake a claim on it. Maybe we can share the blanket and both take comfort in the Daddy/Papa blanket together.

I've always been more than impressed with the quality of Collage.com products so I'm always super happy to work with them and this time was no exception. I cannot express enough how happy I am with this blanket; the fleece is heavier than I was expecting it to be and is surprisingly warm!

So who is breaking it to her that this is not her blanket? lol

Once again Collage.com has blown me away. I just love working with and supporting this company as I feel like they do the best job with all of my photo needs. As a photographer, I take pride in the photographs I take and I love that this company takes pride in the products they produce. All of their products would make such great Christmas or birthday presents.

2015 Holiday Gift Guide: Capture Precious Memories This Holiday Season with PicturesOnGold.com

If you've been a reader of mine for awhile, you know that my beloved father passed away in 2012 of brain cancer. Well, he's been on my mind a lot lately because we are 2 weeks away from the 3rd anniversary of his death. Thanks to PicturesOnGold.com, I have found the perfect way to remember him and our cherished memories together. 

When I first received the chance to work with PicturesOnGold.com, I wasn't sure what I wanted to get. I had considered getting a locket for my mother-in-law with pictures of her grandkids inside but I felt like it would become outdated in a few months when C is born. As I continued to ponder what direction I wanted to go in, I realized that this would such a meaningful way to remember my dad and our precious memories together. 

After placing my order, I waited impatiently for this locket to come in the mail even though it only took a few days (they ship within one day!). When I opened the box containing my new locket, I lost my breath for a moment. It's seriously so gorgeous and I would be lying if I said it didn't bring this pregnant mama to tears. I just couldn't get over the beauty of the jewelry and how the photos turned out so great; especially considering one is 25 years old!

I was able to completely customize the locket; front, inside, and even the back. The front is engraved with the words "Always in my Heart" and inside is a picture of my dad and I on one side, and Z with him on the other. The back is engraved with the words "Missing you always." 

Even though I adore my new locket, if there was one thing I could change, it would be that they automatically take the backgrounds out of the pictures BUT that's an easy fix. When you order, all you have to do is mention to them that you want to keep the background and they will do what you ask! You truly have complete control over how personalized you want your jewelry.

Overall, there are no words to describe how meaningful this precious locket is to me and I have absolutely no complaints. A personalized piece of jewelry like this would make the perfect Christmas, birthday, or anniversary gift. You could put pictures of your kids, your grandkids, a missed loved one... the options go on and on!

2015 Holiday Gift Guide: Precious Toys Kids Shopping Cart

I don't know about you but Christmas shopping is in full-swing in our house! I like to have my shopping done by the first week of December so I can enjoy time with my family during the month of December. If you're looking for the perfect gift for a child aged 18 months to 4 years old, I've found it. The Precious Toys Kids Shopping Cart is the perfect gift for that young child in your life!

Z was absolutely tickled when this package arrived at our doorstep for her and her eyes lit up when she realized that it was her very own shopping cart. It was so easy to put together that the instructions were not even necessary. This is the nicest toy shopping cart I've ever seen and we gets tons of compliments on it. I love that it's metal and looks just like a real one. It also has pivoting front wheels so it's super easy to push and steer. easy-grip handle, and a folding seat so a child and his or her favorite companion can navigate the aisles in style.

My 13 month old niece loved it when she came over as well! It would make such a great Christmas gift for her, its not too high for her to push and because it moves so easily, she was able to push it around the house with no issues. She actually screamed at anyone who tried to push it too.

Although my 5 year old niece and 7 year old nephew were also interested in playing with the shopping cart, I was hesitant to let them. They are rougher on toys and even though the cart is made out of metal, I could see them easily bending a wheel or something. I would say this car is perfect for ages 18 months-4 (maybe 5) years old.

Overall, we are extremely happy with the Precious Toys Kids Shopping. With sturdy metal construction and pivoting front wheels, this kid-size metal shopping cart toy is the perfect addition to your play grocery store. Easy to maneuver, fun to fill, and built to last for years of pretend play. I love that it folds down flat so its easy to store or move. It looks even cuter in person.
