Want a crazy fun game for your house? Crazy Mixed Up Martians definitely fits that bill.  There are two boppers:  one green and one blue.  With one version of the game, you just bop your color martians when they pop up.  In another version you can play, you just try and hit as many as you can as they pop up.  Now, this game is just fun.  You’ll have a ton of giggles and screaming while playing.  It is for ages 4 and up, but again my eighteen month old has no problem playing it (Again, just need to be careful that he doesn’t put anything in his mouth).  We like this in our house, and you will too.

I recently reviewed an awesome product called Ficklets.  This charms are a great way to dress up any glasses you wear.  They have styles for all ages and just about anything you would be interested in.  One of my reader’\s will get to chose 3 Ficklets ($18-$24 value) that they like!

This giveaway will end on December 20 at 8:00 pm CST is available to everyone. Good luck!

I personally believe books always make great gifts. We have installed into our children how important reading is, and you can tell. Both my one year old and my four year old can often be seen flipping through books without Bill or me even around.  This is why I l love companies like GiftLit who make it easier to give books as gifts to both children and adults alike.

GiftLit has an advisory board of librarians, educators, authors, and industry experts that select the books that are sent out, so you know these are great books. They have books for every age too!  They have books for toddlers on up.  They way this works is you pick with selection of books you want.  If you are looking at the kids books, you can choose which age group you want.  For adults, you can pick anything from fiction to mysteries to history.  You can also choose how long you want your gift subscription to last.  You can buy them in 3, 6, or 12 month increment.  The best part of this is that this is the gift that keeps on giving.  Instead of the one present you get Christmas morning, you can potentially have a gift every month of the year.

We have this come to our house, and we love it.  The books are great quality books that I would have never thought to check out.  Also, what kid doesn’t like to get mail for them?  Actually, what adult doesn’t like getting a present in the mail each month?  This is truly the gift that keeps on giving, and I am deciding which book lover in my family is getting this.  If you’d like to get this for yourself or as a present, just make sure you use the code LISA1130, so you can get 10% off your order!

I have two of the hottest presents this year for kids.

Want to be the best present giver ever?  If you have any little girls you need to buy for this Christmas, the Hannah Montana Glitter Studio is sure to be a winner.  Now, the ages say 6 and up.  However, my 4 year old had a blast with this.  It has over 100 pieces to it.  There is everything from shimmer and shine art glaze to stencils to markers to message card.  There is even Hannah Montana stationary!  My personal favorite has to be the watercolors tray that is in the shape of a guitar.  Any Hannah Montana fan would love this!  All moms will love this, because it is all washable!

Another favorite this year will be the Sour Candy Factory. As an adult, I even want to play with this.  This kit includes everything you need to make the most sour candy possible.  You get a star, heart and sports molds.  You get lollipop sticks, a dropper for liquid sweets, and three over the top flavors:  sour grape, rockin’ raspberry, and wild watermelon.  Lastly, you get what holds the candy together:  corn syrup, gelatin, and citric acid.  Mom doesn’t need to run out and get anything.  Some of the candy you can make includes lollipops, liquid candy, and even squishy homemade marshmallows!

If you need something for the kid who has everything, both of these will make great gifts!

We all get those itches that we just can’t scratch. I know I have had to look around the house for ruler or anything that can get that itch that no one can reach. I now have my handy dandy backscratcher.  Let me tell you, this thing is awesome.  It can reach anywhere on my back.  It actually works better than me itching!  (I have long finger nails and can draw blood without trying sometimes). They are eco-friendly and are handcrafted out of wood by local USA craftsmen in Maine and Tennessee. They are made out of walnut, cedar, aromatic cedar, cherry, oak, and maple.  Now, these are so easy that anybody can use them:

When my one year old got ahold of it, he thought it was a sword, and it made it through that beating. You can even buy telescoping back scratchers which is smaller version of this that would make great stocking stuffers. If you’ve ever had an itch you couldn’t scratch, you need to get one of these awesome backscratchers!
