My Review:
I had a few bites of the Almond Toffee from Hampshire Toffee and now I am hooked! It literally melts in your mouth. It's easy to eat and chew and not overly sticky on your teeth like other toffee. This is some of the best toffee I've ever had! These cute bags of toffee and popcorn would make excellent stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, white elephant gifts, for a gift exchange, and more! I wouldn't even mind enjoying some for my birthday and Easter!


Disclosure: I received two bags of Almond Toffee from Hampshire Toffee in exchange for my post. No other compensation was exchanged or received.

"Dream it! Draw It! Think It! Do It!: Activities to Ignite Creativity" Book #Review & #Giveaway! (2 Winners) (U.S.) Ends 12/4 #HolidayGiftGuide #HGG2016




Q: How do you get kids off the couch (and screens) and engaged with the world around them?
A: Dream it! Draw It! Think It! Do It! by Courtney Watkins.

Brain Quest meets Unbored in this super-fresh, creative interactivity book for kids.

Dream It! Draw It! Think It! Do It! delivers wonderfully unexpected and entertaining creative adventures that flex kids' mind muscles and propel them into action. Author Courtney Watkins empowers kids to see their world in new and different ways through handwritten questions, musings, challenges, and illustrations. Some of the fun activities include: drawing ice skating chairs, decoding top secret messages, designing obstacles courses in unusual places, creating new products for time travel, and engaging in poetry slams with a friend. Ages 7 - 12

"Watkins's ideas are . . . ideal for inspiring kids to think in unusual and unique ways and for giving them the confidence to express themselves with their own individual style."
--Discovery Award for Excellence




My Review:
My seven year old daughter has been asking to check this book out and complete some of the activities inside and we finally had the time for her to do so! She is working on an activity called "Rippling" in which she finishes coping a pattern which can be turned into a snowflake or something similar. She's super creative when she gets some down time. I can't wait to see what else she does inside this awesome book! This book is great for road trips, flying on a plane, down time, and just for overall fun!



Some examples of things to do inside "Dream it! Draw It! Think It! Do It!: Activities to Ignite Creativity" are:
- Rippling - Finish the pattern until it fills in the box
- Which-A-Wayer - Close your eyes. Walk 5 Steps. Open your eyes. Draw what you see.
- Undoodle It
- Cute Break
- Scavenger Hunt
- Poem writing for you and a friend
- Grasshoppering
- Three Wishes
- and More!

Revell Expands Top-Selling SnapTite® ‘Build & Play’™ Line with New Models for Ages 8+ #StarWars #Review & #Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 11/29 #HolidayGiftGuide





Lighted cockpits! Audible firepower! Movable wings, gun turrets and more! Revell®’s innovative snap-together, lights-and-sound plastic model kits are returning with three new model kit vehicles from a galaxy far, far away in anticipation of the December release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Designed for ages 8 and up, the kit series includes a new Rebel ship that will make its debut in the upcoming film as well as a classic Imperial cruiser and a four-legged Imperial walker – all ready for build.

The new plastic model kits are the latest to be released since Revell introduced the Star Wars™ themed SnapTite® Build and Play™ products a year ago to coincide with the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Those four initial kits earned NPD Group’s #1-selling ranking in the model category in 2015 based on consumer purchase data.

Like their predecessors, the three newest plastic model kits deliver hyper-realistic replicas of each vehicle that also include moving parts, interior lights, and battle action sounds that bring each model to life. The pre-decorated parts permanently snap together with no need for glue, paint or tools. The lineup includes:

· Revell Star Wars SnapTite Build & Play Rebel U-wing Fighter™ - a model kit replica of a sleek new troop transport/gunship that will be unveiled in Rogue One. The 35-piece plastic model kit features a lighted cockpit that reveals Rebel soldiers ready for combat, rotating wings that can switch between two flying modes, removable landing gear, and battle action sound effects that let kids’ imaginations soar.

· Revell Star Wars SnapTite Build & Play Imperial Star Destroyer™ - a plastic model version of the signature vessel of the Imperial fleet introduced in Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977. The model kit has 46 parts, is an impressive 15.75” long when assembled, and includes features like light-up engines and movable gun turrets as well as audible engine vibrations and turbolaser fire.

· Revell Star Wars SnapTite Build & Play Imperial AT-ACT™ Cargo Walker - the newest iteration of the four-legged All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT™) first seen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The 45-piece plastic model kit produces a walker with a positionable head, shoulders and knees as well as movable guns, an illuminated command cockpit, and both walking and battle action sounds.

The model kits take up to an estimated 60 minutes to assemble, keep kids engaged for hours after the last piece is clicked into place, and utilize ABS plastic that provides durability, easy assembly, exceptional detail and interactive capabilities.

All models were designed with the same computer data used to create the movie props, resulting in strikingly accurate facsimiles of the vehicles that moviegoers experience on the big screen.

About Revell Inc.
Revell has been a worldwide leader in scale plastic model kits since 1945. Today, Revell offers more than 7,000 different accurately detailed cars, trucks, ships, aircraft, spacecraft and more scale plastic model kits. The company is a subsidiary of Hobbico, Inc. one of the largest designer, manufacturer and distributor of radio control and model hobby products in the world. For more information, visit www.revell.com.








Our Review:
Our son is nine years old, but he has some fine motor skills issues and he likes to rush through things, like putting things together. He did most of the At-Act by himself. He only needed help with the legs! He needed a little more help though putting the Rebel U-Wing Fighter together. He really enjoys playing with both of them though! For him, they are new toys! He is especially enjoying that both models make noises!

They went together easily. The At-Act only took about 45 minutes to put together. The Rebel U-Wing Fighter took my son and husband about 40 minutes to put together. I think some Revell SnapTite Build & Play Star Wars models will be wrapped from Santa underneath our Christmas Tree this year for our son! As he really enjoyed putting them together and playing with them!

I feel that these are for children ages 8 years and up, as there's no way that my seven or four year old's could have put these together by themselves.

*Enter below using the Giveaway Tools form.




Giveaway ends on Friday, 11/18 at 8pm CST!

*You will need to be able to meet me some place close to my house this weekend to pick up your passes! I am thinking either Saturday or Sunday, at the Publix store off of Lebanon Road in Mount Juliet, TN.

You will need to arrive at Regal Green Hills between 5:30 to 6pm in order to be guaranteed a seat in the movie theater. Seats are first come, first served. If you arrive later than 6pm, you may not be able to see the movie at all.

I recommend that you get to the theater parking lot or structure, where ever you decide to park. Grab some dinner to go some one of the local restaurants. Then sit and eat your dinner while waiting in line to see the movie. We usually do this, and it works well, or we eat in the car on the way there!


Disclosure: This giveaway post is sponsored by Allied. I, Heather Kelly, am responsible for giving you your tickets, but it is Your responsibility to meet up with me to pick them up.

My Best Tooth Fairy Friend #Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 11/28 #BTFF


My Best Tooth Fairy Friend, or BTFF for short, is soon to be a much-loved lifetime companion for kids and a captivating way for parents to be involved in one of their child’s most memorable experiences. BTFF is a spunky, lovable companion for children who are about to lose a tooth. Inside the gift box is everything parents need to create a lifetime of memories. It’s easy and fun for the whole family! This adorable and naughty character was dreamed up by three parents and encourages children to use their imagination.

The gift set comes complete with a handmade BTFF doll, a beautifully illustrated book, tooth vessel, keepsake notecards and sticker badges. BTFF magically appears at the first sign of a wiggly tooth and stays until the tooth comes out. When the tooth falls out, My BTFF takes it back to Tooth Fairy Land, leaving behind special notes and stickers. My BTFF comes back at the next sign of a loose tooth. Children get to name their BTFF, and unlike other magical characters, they are encouraged to touch them! Great ideas and activities are available on the website’s blog.
