I love candles! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love candles. Before having  kids I used to ahve candles lit all over. After having kids I had to be very careful with when and where I lit candles. Now I stick to mostly Glade
  Candles because they smell amazing and help freshen my home.

I recently had the chance to check out the new Glade Holiday Collection Candles thanks to Family Review Network. I received a Bayberry Spice Oil Candle and it smells awesome! I plan on getting the Apple Cinnamon because its one of my favorite scents. Each candle holder is refillable with any Glade Scented Oil Candles fragrance ( sold separately). Candle last approx. 2–3 hours. These oil candles smell amazing and I love that I can change the scent when the oil melts away.

Each Limited Edition fragrance purchase earns you one free holiday music download.

When I received the Light Illusion LED Pillar Candles I was in love. First off I had no idea they still had wax on them. I knew they would look like candles but I truly had no idea how much they look like candles. Even when they are turned on they flicker like real candles.

The Light Illusion LED Pillar Candles come in sizes 3″ x 5″, 3″ x 6″ and 3′ x 7″. You can order them as a trio set which includes one of each for $59.95 or individually.

Below are pictures of how I set up my Light Illusion LED Pillar Candles.

Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms Cookbook

When Jane Doiron the author of Make-Ahead Meals For Busy Moms contacted me to check out her new cookbook I was very excited to try it out!

The fact that the recipes are simple and cna be prepared in advance is such a life saver for me. I want to prepare home cooked, and healthy meals for my family, but with our busy schedule sometimes it’s easier to throw something in the microwave.

Make-ahead meals are a healthy and economical alternative to take-out and preservative filled, pre-packaged foods. With make ahead meal planning, you are making fewer trips to the grocery store, and saving money otherwise spent on unhealthy, take-out and fast foods. It’s simple. Give yourself a break during the hectic weeknights with Jane’s make-ahead meal recipes. Spend the time that you save outside of the kitchen doing something that you enjoy.

So what’s in the cookbook?

  • Appetizers
  • Breakfast and Brunch
  • Dessert
  • Main Dishes
  • Side Dishes
  • Soup
  • Yep, it has it all! What I love is that for each recipe it tells you what you can do ahead of time. A lot of the recipes you cna freeze so you can make a whole weeks worth of meals in one day and then all you have to do take it out of the freezer and heat it up. Nice home cooked meal!

    Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms Cookbook is also perfect for the Holidays. With many different recipes to choose from your bound o find perfect ones for your Holiday Party.

    You can buy Make-Ahead Meals for Busy Moms on Amazon for $16.15. If you don’t want to wait you can purchase the Ebook and download it after purchase.

    The Studio by Danielson Designs

    I recently had an opportunity to order my own custom sign at The Studio by Danielson Designs . It took me a while to decide on which sign to choose but I decided to go with the adorable Dear Santa Sign.

    I was surprised when the sign arrived. I thought that the wording is in vinyl but it isn’t. It is printed onto the plaque which I love! No way for the letters to get pulled or torn like with vinyl.

    What I love about the ordering process is that you get to live preview your sign. You add the information you want on your sign and then click “update” and it will give you a live preview.

    Below is our live review of the sign I picked:
