Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating in the morning keeps you energized, happy, and focused. Sometimes we skip morning meals because we are too busy or just bored of eating the same things over and over again. Breakfast doesn’t have to be plain Jane. You can take a simple bowl of Cheerios and kick it up a notch by adding fresh fruit. Yogurt lover? Not only can you put fruit in this too but try adding granola or chocolate chips!

Tackling Toy Shopping At Walmart + GIVEAWAY! #WalmartGifts

Dec 12

When Christmas shopping begins, the first thing most parents aim to tackle is TOYS! I think we can all agree that crossing off our children’s list before others takes a huge weight off our shoulders. For me it is very hard to focus on other family members and friends when all I am thinking about is, “I need to get that Doc Mcstuffin doll before it’s gone!” This season kids are definitely the top priority and going on the hunt for the perfect toy is even more important. Every child has at least one toy they are dying to have and it’s up to us to make sure we get our hands on them! According to the “Jolly Toys Survey” given to multi cultural families, 91% of Hispanic parents agree that it is more important to buy toys for kids versus gifts for the adults in the family. While it is important to give everyone in my family a wonderful Christmas, I do admit to focusing more on my little girl before anyone else.
   

The survey also showed that most Hispanic parents’ shopping lists are likely to include educational toys, electronic toys, dolls, actions figures, and arts & crafts. I feel like all I have bought this year are Disney Princess dolls and play sets. This is the price I pay for having my own little princess who demands all things girly! I really do enjoy doing my shopping at Walmart because they have exclusive bundles and many toys that are hard to find elsewhere. When Black Friday arrived, I was able to cross off over half of Toodie’s list because of the bargains and sales.
With Walmart continuously offering a wide variety of toys for all ages and genders, shopping has become much easier for moms like me. This time of year allows me to get not only my Christmas shopping done but also my daughter‘s upcoming birthday in the beginning of February. Each year I take advantage of the low prices and get everything I need at once. Before rationing out the holiday and birthday presents, I make sure to choose one special gift that Toodie is allowed to open on Christmas Eve. Half of parents normally wait until Christmas Day to open gifts, but in our family we stick to tradition. Since I was a little girl each person in our family is given one small gift to open the night before. We all sit around the tree, enjoy holiday treats, and spend time together. This is just our way of pumping up the excitement of Christmas morning and a huge delicious brunch made by grandma! Does your family have any fun traditions you have kept through the years or maybe started on your own? I would LOVE to read them!

 
Enter below if you would like to win a $25 Walmart GC to shop their everyday low prices and HUGE toy selection!

Holiday Shopping At The Children’s Place + $25 GC GIVEAWAY! #PLACEHoliday

Dec 12

This week I was given the opportunity to visit one of my favorite clothing stores with the hottest trends for kids! With affordable prices and an adorable selection, The Children’s Place has everything you need to create the perfect outfit for your kiddo. This season they offer fashions for the holidays as well as Spring which is not too far ahead. As a mom to a little girl, it’s so much fun shopping for new additions to her wardrobe. The hardest part for me is restraining myself from purchasing just about everything in their store. The pink denim jacket below was too cute in person, especially with a touch of lime green underneath! I couldn’t get over how “trendy” the clothes were. But then again I swear I say that every time I go to one of these shopping events.
This shopping trip I found myself gravitating towards the bright colors, sparkle graphics, and layered tops within the Spring collection. The holiday line was also full of glitz and glam. I noticed a lot of chic pieces including sequined skirts, jeweled headbands, and fluffy tutus. There was no question that this year the designers were focused on sparkle, sparkle, and more sparkle! In addition to glitter and shine, animal print is also very hot this season. Whether paired with black leggings or denim, it is sure to make a fashion statement.

New graphic t’s, fleece, hoodies, and plaid shirts with a touch of sparkle were also showcased in the little girl’s section. I am always overwhelmed with the choices in the toddler area but when Toodie can fit a few sizes up I may be in trouble. I don’t ever remember having such such fun styles when I was her age.

In the section for the little guys, graphic t‘s and hoodies were layered together for a more casual outfit. There were also dressy novelty sweaters paired with coordinated long sleeve woven plaid shirts. Everything can be mixed and matched to create different looks for a variety of occasions. That’s another great things about The Children’s Place- you can create a bunch of different outfits with just a few essentials.
“For boys, we have great Sherpa hoodies, microfleece and denim. We offer these amazing, versatile outerwear pieces, like our 3–in–1 jacket — you can wear the inner and outer parts together or individually.” 
– The Children’s Place Lead Designer, Michael Giannelli

Below are a few of my favorite outfits that I purchased for Toodie. Given an $100 budget I was able to take home six shirts, a cute buttoned cardigan, jeggings, leggings, a patterned skirt, two pairs of socks, AND three headbands! On top of all that loot, I was given a cute plush penguin because I spent over $60. As always, I was amazed how far $100 stretched. Surprised? Not at all! The Children’s Place has low prices, continuous sales, and coupons that stack on top of each other to make shopping on a budget easy. I couldn’t imagine doing my holiday shopping anywhere else. To be honest, I wish they had some of these fashions in mommy’s size!

 
Do you love The Children’s Place as much as I do? Hopefully the answer is YES! By entering below you could win a $25 GC to do some shopping of your own. All entries will be verified. Good luck!

Spreading The Holiday Cheer At Sears + $15 GC GIVEAWAY

Nov 20

It‘s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, almost. If you’re like me then it is never too soon to get into the holiday spirit. In a few days it will time to chow down on turkey, stuffing, and the full Thanksgiving works. While I am looking forward to a delicious dinner with my family, I am even more excited to get all of our holiday decorations out. For years we have continued the tradition of putting up our Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving. Even if we are exhausted and half asleep from Black Friday shopping, it is something we never neglect to get done. With a good 5 to 6 bins stuffed full cheer, the sooner I start the better. December is only 31 days and that is just not long enough for me to enjoy my seasonal decor! Plus, we need time to decorate cookies for Santa, make a gingerbread house, wrap presents, and much much more! The list can go on. This month is a busy one. I’m not opposed to extending December by an extra week or two…

As a member of the Smiley360 Blogger Circle, I was given the opportunity to expand my own holiday collection at Sears.  For those of you searching for something new or maybe a little inspiration this year, stop by the Sears Cheers Headquarters. Here you will find everything you need to fill your home with holiday cheer from the inside out. There are lights, trimmings, trees, wreaths, and tons of sparkle to turn your space into a winter wonderland. This also includes four unique themes by the stylish designer Ty Pennigton, who many of us know from Extreme Home Makeover. The collections are affordable and no matter what you may be looking for, Sears has a variety to choose from at low prices.

Check out these colorful additions I picked up for our tree this year! For $34.99 the package included 100  beautiful shatterproof ornaments. I LOVE the bright colors and sparkle. I also won’t have to worry about these falling, breaking, or hurting my family.

On top of their affordable selection, Sears offers their Shop Your Way Rewards Program to customers so you can save while you shop. For every $1 you spend in stores or online, you earn 10 points in your account. For every 1,000 points you earn you will get $1 in credits. You can use these credits by giving the sales associate your member number, phone number, or email address at checkout. I have been a member of this program for a few years now and the points really do rack up during the holidays. It always feels good to earn money while you are spending it! Who doesn’t like to get a little bit back? Using your points online is just as easy. By entering your member number you can actually decide how many points you would like to use on your translation at the time.
Anxious to get started on shopping for your holiday decorations? Enter through the rafflecopter form below and you could win a $15 Sears Gift Card!
