Saving Money Over the Holidays (it is possible)
Photo credit: BMB Photography I love a good deal. I think that is why I tend to do my holiday shopping throughout the year. If I find something on sale that I think a family member or friend might like, and it is on sale, I get super happy. I love finding just the perfect gift and when it is discounted – even better. This also goes for shopping for our family’s essentials like paper products (paper towels, napkins, paper cups, etc.), personal products and cleaning supplies. When you buy everyday essentials in bulk it can save your family a lot of money throughout the year. This holiday season, Sam’s Club is helping shoppers maximize every dollar…

Marvel’s ANT-MAN Review & Giveaway
“Small is the new spectacular in this latest Marvel winner.” -Michael Sauter (Life & Style) Marvel, the Studio who brought you “The Avengers”, now brings to life one of the original Avengers — Marvel’s Ant-Man. Bring home the epic heist as Ant-man embraces his inner hero and harnesses the unique ability to shrink in scale to save not only the world, but his daughter. I have to be honest, when I first saw the previews for Ant-Man I just wasn’t sold.

Festive Christmas Mantel Decoration Ideas
Can you believe it is the holidays?! They sure do sneak up on us, don’t they? One of my favorite things to do is get the house decorated with lots of lights and shimmery things. This year, I wanted to go with more neutrals and natural elements. I think it is great to switch things up from year to year and I am thankful I was able to work with the talented interior designer Claire Cannesson Kahn and photographer Beatta Bosworth to showcase our home this holiday season. Use Flowers: We were contacted by ProFlowers and asked to decorate our mantel with one of their gorgeous Christmas Flowers arrangements. I really like…

Inspiring New Family Holiday Traditions
This quote by the ever so wise Dr. Seuss is one of my favorites! For me, the holidays represents a time to show those we care about that we are thinking of them. And this can be done with a handwritten holiday card, a present that you thought would be just right for them or spending time together. It really isn’t about how much money you spend but more the thought that goes into letting them know you are thinking of them! Spending quality time together really is what it is all about don’t you think?! What are some family traditions in your home? We really love family movie night,…

The Perfect Playdate For Your Kids
This week we invited a couple friends from school and hosted a dance party at our house. I figured the kids always need to let off some steam after school and what better way to do that than a dance party in our living room?! Just Dance: Disney Party 2 was released this fall and provides a great way to entertain the kids this holiday season. Or if you need a little break, have your kids host a little party themselves. I promise this fun video will keep them entertained for quite some time. Plus they are getting some great exercise dancing around the living room! Just Dance Disney Party 2 features…

The Importance of Volunteering as a Teenager
This article was written by Kaitlin Murray – our new teen contributor. Volunteering changed my life. I learned more about myself and about the world than I ever thought I would. Not only did it shape me as a person, but it also changed my perspective on the world and on life, giving me an incredible insight to the world that surrounds me. After one month of meeting refugees escaping Syria, Iraq, and other war-torn countries, I learned how great it is to give of our hearts and our time, but most importantly to love people unconditionally. So here are the top 4 reasons why it is so important to volunteer…
