Being a mom, about the ONLY uninterrupted ‘me’ time I get each day is when I am in the shower. My kids are now old enough to understand that when I am in the shower (if there isn’t fire or blood)  they leave me alone. Of course, in their minds that rule only applies when the actual shower is running. So that is where the Toilet Tree Fogless Mirror is a small blessing in my busy life. With my Deluxe LED Fogless Mirror, I can spend a bit more time in the shower to take care of things, plus I get a few more minutes to avoid the “MOM!!! He took my Barbie!” scenarios! :-)

The Deluxe LED Fogless Mirror is so super easy to use too. It was a cinch to hang up in the shower and then you quickly fill the small container in the back with hot water, jump in the shower and its all peace and quiet for a few minutes! When your done in the shower, you pop it off, dump the water out and set it back on the base to wait for the next go round. There is even a nifty little shelf perfect for a razor, tweezers, or a bottle of face wash and tucked discreetly under the shelf is a handy built in squeegee to clean the water drops off the mirror.

I can’t help but think back to my college days and what an awesome thing this would have been. I shared one bathroom and one VERY tiny sink with 3 other girls. So we had to do as much as we could in the shower quickly. With this mirror I have been able to pluck my eyebrows, (the lights make it super easy and the hot water opens  your pores, so it’s perfect), wash my face, and I have even dyed my own hair, without having to worry about hair dye dripping on my bathroom floor or counter. If I would have had this in the shower in college, I am sure it would have saved so much time.

I am sure that my kids would love this mirror just for the fun value of being able to see themselves in the tub while making silly beards with the bubbles or crazy hair shapes with the shampoo, but since shower time is about the only ‘me’ time I get, it went in MY shower, NOT the kids bathtub, so they don’t get to try it. Although my 7 year old did tell me she was ‘super jealous’ so I guess that means it’s a cool thing to have.

In all honesty, at first the price seemed at bit much for me at $49.95, but after I got my mirror and realized the time (and sanity) it has bought me, it’s really priceless! But if you are a little skeptical on this one, they do have less expensive version available priced at $29.95. But I definitely recommend the Deluxe LED Version, especially if your shower is set off in a darker corner of the bathroom like mine is, the light is one of the BEST features!

I am not the only one who thinks this mirror is an awesome luxury to have, it was a HOT gift on Amazon last year  and I am sure with the Deluxe version out now it will be on the top of the list again this year!

I love those photos of babies with beautiful, oversized hair bows on their head and always envy the women who have enough style to add flowers and bows into their hair.  I never know how to accessorize.  But, as I was trying out the Laynie and Belle ::Hair Things::,  I learned an important lesson – there’s no need to overthink it!

Totally unsure what to wear the beautiful vintage headband with, I finally just stuck it on with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and headed to the grocery store.  I was stopped three times by someone and asked where I got my headband.

It didn’t matter what I wore it with, it was a simple piece that revamped my typical grocery store and had people stopping me in the aisle (and not to ask me about my awesome couponing skills!).

As someone who struggles with fashion, it was amazing.

Layne and Belle has many unique handmade hair accessories for those picky teenagers who you really aren’t sure what to buy, a little girl who loves to look beautiful, or the special woman in your life.

Laynie and Belle is listed under For Her & Jewelry & Accessories in the Season of Giving Holiday Gift Guide.

I could scrub my son from head to toe, then stick him in a fully sanitized clean room and he’d come out dirty and screaming in delight.  I really don’t understand how it’s possible, but I’ve learned to live with it.  When I saw the definition of the word boy at Off The Wall Expressions, well, it really is just perfect.

Boy n. Noise with Dirt on it.

And, now it’s written on my son’s bedroom walls, bringing a little smile to my face every time I head in there to change another outfit he managed to destroy during the day.

I think my favorite vinyl wall decal at Off The Wall Expressions though is the Family Tree Vinyl Decal. What a beautiful and unique way to display family photos in your home and add more personality to your walls!

This giveaway is for the most AMAZING little creatures. These aren’t your everyday amazingly crafted cloth dolls either, they are so much more. The Elf Magic Elves are sent from Santa himself to celebrate all the love and fun of the entire Christmas season with your family. The elves typically arrive sometime around Thanksgiving and they have to return with Santa on Christmas Eve to help with deliveries.

We just got our Elf Magic Elf yesterday, and it is extraordinary how this one little elf has brought the holiday spirit into our home. My kids absolutely LOVE her! This is Elf Sharon (they come with a name too!) my 7 year old insisted that she had to bring her coupon shopping with us so she could see her new world for the month. She even got to sit in the cart where my binders usually sit…now that is an honor!!! :) We put her to work holding my coupons too!

Just like  Santa said to do in his instruction letter, right at bedtime,  Spiderman (also known as my 3 year old…some battles just aren’t worth it) sprinkled the elf with the Magic North Pole Snowflakes. (The snowflakes come with the elf, and they are paper type material- NOT GLITTER- so easy clean up!) Any my daughter tucked her in.

The magic snowflakes bring the elf to life when everyone is sleeping so they can explore, write letters and create mischief.   Some of my favorite Elfcapades, the name for the elves adventures, are coloring the kids noses red while they are sleeping because the elf misses Rudolph and toilet papering the kids bedroom to make them share in a winter wonderland.  BUT you have to love the fact that the instruction letter from Santa that comes with them, also tells the kids that although Mrs. Claus tried to teach the elves to clean up after themselves, they sometimes get so caught up in the Christmas spirit that they get carried away and the SANTA tells the kids that THEY have to clean up after their elf!

On her first night here, our Elf  Sharon decided to simply open EVERY door, drawer and cabinet in the house to better explore her surroundings, then she hid above the kitchen cabinets, the kids looked for her for over an hour this morning before squealing with joy when they saw the tip of her hat sticking out over the shelf, so nothing too mischievous…YET… ;-) But our elf also loves reading the Bible and has picked out a verse for our family to learn to live each week.

There are a lot of accessories that will make both your visiting elf (and child) happy, but I definitely recommend the Elf Memory Book.  It’s a guided scrapbook for the visit. There is a page for prayers and questions for God, a page to record funny Elfcapades, Christmas memories and pages for the kids to write letters back and forth with their elf.

If you are in the Zionsville, Indiana area you can pick up your own elf  at  Earth Explorer Toy’s. They can help you pick the perfect accessories and tell you more about the ‘Elfcapades’ to expect. They also have tons of wonderful educational and whimsical toys for children of all ages. Don’t despair if you aren’t a local, you can purchase a “travel ticket” for your elf and Earth Explorers would be happy have Santa fly him to your home,  so your family can still take part in this magical holiday tradition. And no worries these Magical Elves will show up at your home anytime you are willing to allow them to visit, birthdays, test days at school, and of course, each year for Christmas!
