With a name like 'Funny or Die' you might get the impression this adult game is serious business, but I assure you it's all fun and laughs. On Christmas as our tradition goes we love playing games together as a family and this year we had a new one from Hasbro. When I told my family I had a new game to try out they were excited when I mentioned the name of the game they seemed to be a bit nervous to play. Once I explained the rules everyone got their game faces on and it was time to get funny or die..mostly we just died laughing.

The Booper is always imitating what he sees my husband or I doing, he wants to be just like mommy and daddy. We sometimes let him watch his children's shows on the computer and when he does he loves to wear headphones. Giving the Booper his own pair of Kidz Gear headphones has been a lifesaver. We no longer have to listen to the whiny or annoying voices of his children's shows and he can play his games without disturbing anyone. He loves that he has his own gear to be like us.

Percy Jackson:Sea Of Monsters {Review and Giveaway}

I received this title free for the purpose of review through the Fox Insiders program. All view and opinions expressed here are my own honest evaluations. Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment. See Disclosure.
It's been the perfect winter for snuggling under a blanket with some popcorn watching a good movie, and there have been some really fun new movies released. Having the opportunity to watch Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters was exciting since I had watched the first movie Percy Jackson: The Lightening Thief in the theater. My mother used to work in the youth department at our local library and she had read the Percy Jackson series and told me they were good books so the movies would be worth watching. Having never read the books myself, I wondered if I might get lost watching the movie. The first Percy Jackson movie jumped right into the action, and Sea Of Monsters is no exception it's fast paced and no prior knowledge is required.

Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment. See Disclosure. Happy Holidays! 
Amanda takes us to our next stop on our holiday gift guide, this is one to pamper your whole family. Warmly Yours was generous to send us their plug in Infinity towel warmer for those cold winter mornings. Who am I kidding? We'll use it during the summer too. Our tile gets so cold that it chills my whole body. BRRR!
Installation was no more difficult than mounting a standard towel rack for our plug-in model. Instructions were clear and all you need is a grounded, in our case a GFI since it was near the shower, plug nearby.
We decided we wanted to make this a project so we added a timer similar to the one on the hard-wired version for extra convenience.
What a treat it is to get out of the shower and wrap up in a warm towel! Our warm towels give us the extra heat needed to take the chill off on cold mornings. And the towel warmer looks great on the wall in the bath giving it a spa look! A great gift for anyone on your holiday shopping list or even to purchase for yourself.

The next stop on our holiday gift guide will offer you a safe and healthy way to store food. My husband packs his lunches for work every day and most of the time it's left-overs which he actually prefers. I'm always hunting for a container to pack his meal because so many of our plastic containers have been melted or stained to the point I threw them out. Until now I only had one glass container and I loved using it because it wouldn't stain or melt and I knew using glass was healthier, but I still had to worry about broken glass, because I didn't know about Frego yet.

I received the multi-functional deluxe potty trainer that serves as a big girl potty after she has trained on the little one. For the life of me I cannot get her to go. She will sit on it for a minute but I was not able to snap a picture. She’s a very stubborn girl and potty training is sure to be hard with her.

Easy Cheesy Papa Rellenas Recipe

received this product for free from Smiley360 in exchange for my honest review. You can join Smiley360 here!
One thing my family loves that I always try to keep in the house is potatoes. We all love to eat baked potatoes even the Booper will gobble them up. Trying out Pompeian's Grape Seed Oil all natural cooking spray I fell in love with the fact that I absolutely couldn't tell I was using it. My family can't taste this all natural cooking spray and neither could I. Our favorite foods still had the same great flavors and grape seed oil is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. I've used this easy spray for baking, sauteing and stir fry. For my home made Easy Cheesy Papa Rellenas I used my Pompeian to prep my skillet for the chicken.

Being a work at home mom I don't have the chance to drive by the coffee house on my way to work, but since I do have a single cup brewing system I don't miss getting my morning cup of coffee.

 When I'm lucky I might even snag a second cup of Caza Trail's delightful single serve Donut Shop Blend before the Booper comes bouncing into the room to start his day. You'll find this delicious Donut Shop blend and discover 24 other Caza Trail varieties on their Amazon Page. Moms don't have to miss out on premium coffee when Caza Trail makes it so easy with their single serving sizes!

It all started in a cooler filled with delightful boxes of Belgian chocolates and one by one these mysteriously delicious chocolates started to disappear.
