This post is Sponsored by Nordic Games NA Inc. but my opinions are 100% my own! Today is the 12th Day of Karen's 2013 Holiday Gift Guide and today's pick is the WeSing 80s Wii Game! We are a family of music and my husband and I are children of the 80's so this is perfect for our family. My girls love all the music that we love so some of these songs they've even heard! Holiday Gift Idea – Boy or Girl The 80s were a magical decade. MTV made its debut, music videos were actually filmed in malls (hello, Tiffany) and mullets spread north of the Mason-Dixon line. Now, everyone can recapture the sheer fun of the decade with WeSing 80s, a new karaoke video game from Nordic Games for the...

The Pryz Manor App | A Fun Trivia App for Android Phones
I don't use my phone much to play games, but I do like to have a few on there for when I'm out and waiting on something. I can't stand to be bored and I'm more patient when I'm occupied with something, like a fun game. But I also don't want a game that I'll get addicted to because then I'll want to play it all the time. So when I was asked to check out the Przy Manor I was hesitant at first because I wasn't sure what it was. I checked it out in the Play Store and when I saw it was more of a trivia type game I figured I'd give it a try. This app is only available for Andriod phones and tablets. About the Pryz Manor Each room in The Pryz Manor contains a different quiz, puzzle or...

This post is Sponsored by K'nex but my opinions are 100% my own! Today is the 11th Day of Karen's 2013 Holiday Gift Guide and today's pick is the Beatles Yellow Submarine™ Building Set! I'm amazed how the Beetles are making a comeback. I would have never guessed they would but one of my daughter's friends, who is only 8, loves the Beetles so even the little one's like them.

There are 226 pieces that will create this yellow submarine that is sure to keep them busy for a long time. And then after they complete the yellow submarine, they can have a...

In case you haven't noticed, they've redesigned the Easy Bake Over and now it's the Easy Bake Ultimate Oven! I love the new modern design and they did more than just change the look of it, they changed how it worked too! Holiday Gift Idea – Girl or Boy I've noted this as a gift for a Boy or a Girl because now that it comes in black as well as purple, it's a great gift for a boy too! Boys like to cook and I don't think there is anything wrong with giving the Ultimate Easy Bake Ultimate Oven to a boy for...

Check out the Yankee Candle Thanksgiving Dinner Collection (Giveaway ends 11/18) #YCTurkeyDinner
This post is Sponsored by Yankee Candle but my opinions are 100% my own! I love Yankee Candle and how they keep coming out with all sorts of new scents and even seasonal ones. And the fact that they aren't always the same each year and just 'brought back' makes me love them even more. It's always something different! But this time Yankee Candle is doing something else that I love, they are giving back to the military through a partnership with the USO. I'll get to more of that shortly but here is a bit more about what you can find in their Thanksgiving Dinner Collection: Turkey with Stuffing – A mouth-watering holiday tradition … plump, butter-basted turkey and savory stuffing...

I'm excited to share with you a new vitamin I've been taking for the past week or so - SmartyPants Adult Complete - the first and only 3-in 1 Gummy Vitamin for Adults.

Since I've been trying to take better care of my body, I've also been taking my vitamins. But some of the gummies I've found are very sweet. But if I don't get...
