I wanted to take time to show you all our family Christmas tree. We wanted to start a new tradition this year by hanging our Christmas Tree upside down from the ceiling. Everyone has been asking me what the deal is with hanging it upside down. To me, it just seems like something unique to do but in all reality there really is true meaning behind this dating as far back as the 12th century.  Some historians believed that hanging your Christmas tree upside down was really the more traditional and meaningful way to symbolize Christmas. As legend would have it, the Christmas tree was originally used to symbolize religious devotion by Christian missionaries that used the tree to explain the religious tenet of the Trinity; God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christmas trees were originally hung upside down to ensure that anyone who saw the tree would know it was not just a floral decoration. Eventually the original meaning was lost and people started turning the trees ri...

Old Soles are hand crafted 100% soft leather shoes made just for babies and toddlers. All of Old Sole's shoes are made to allow the natural development of your child's constantly growing feet and the stretchable elastic strap in the back helps with that as well. The stretchable elastic strap also makes it very easy to put the shoes on your child and slip them right off.  Old soles shoes provide the ultimate protection for your child with the breathable leather lining and the padded leather insole that helps to absorb moisture. Their shoes also have rubber soles and are non slip to help protect your child from slipping and foreign objects piercing through. I am so smitten by Old Soles shoes. The picture above is the pair of the Old Soles my 21 month old daughter got to try out. When they first arrived I was so excited to see that they matched her Halloween costume; she was a snowflake for Halloween so the sparkly silver was perfect! T...

I usually suck at video games but I think it's mostly because a lot of them can't hold my attention for long; Skylander's Giants was a totally different story. I recently had the opportunity to review Skylander's Giants through Best Buy and I literally had the time of my life. I could have honestly stayed all day at Best Buy playing this game but I had an impatient fiance' and sleeping baby in the car. Bummer! When I first walked up to the game display, I was greeted by an employee who was just as interested in the game as I was. He told me that he has heard amazing things about Skylander's Giants and has seen tons of people having a blast while playing it. Just while standing there talking to the sales associate I noticed the fantastic graphics but I was also very curious about the little special edition action figures and portal of power that came with the game. At first, I thought the action figures were just little extra toys that came with the purcha...
