Naturalizer Review & 48 Hour Giveaway!

Have you ever tried a pair of Naturalizers?  I hadn't until now.  I always wanted a pair but never knew if they were worth the money.  I can now honestly say that they are WELL worth the money.  They have been around since the 1920s so they have had lots of time to get their product right. 

Naturalizers come in a variety of sizes (4.5-12) and widths (narrow, medium, wide) for extra comfort.

I usually hate wearing heels but these boots are the most comfortable heels I have ever worn in my entire life!  I could wear them all day and night and not even remember I had heels on.  They fit perfectly around my calf and even have a little stretch to them for added comfort.  They are classy and just plain fabulous looking.  They are beautiful with skirts, capris and even jeans.  I absolutely LOVE them.

Check out this video for even more information.

Now to make this review even sweeter, one of my readers get a chance to try out these fabulous shoes as well.  All you have to do is be a fan of my site and fill out the form below.  The winner will receive 1 of their top 3 choices from the 10 selected styles in the Naturalizer fall collection:

*Collette

*Irma

*Lennox

*Valya

*June

*Kendall

*Illy

*Tyla

*Arness

Be a Part of Something Wonderful!

If you have followed my blog for a while, you know that I have donated to Operation Christmas Child for several years and really have a passion for this ministry. We look at our children who appear to have everything and get tons of gifts for Christmas. Now, think of the thousands of children around the world who have nothing! Could you imagine the looks on those children's faces when they are given a shoebox full of toys and goodies that you made for them? What an amazing blessing you could be in their life. Not only do they get a box full of goodies, they get presented with the True Meaning of Christmas!

Below is a video of how it all works so you have a better idea.

I would love for you to help me in this endeavor to send these love filled shoeboxes to kids. All you have to do is fill an average shoebox or shoebox sized box and mail it to:

Samaritan’s Purse
Operation Christmas Child

801 Bamboo Road
Boone, NC 28607

Barnum & Bailey Circus!

So, my little ones and I went to the circus last night and loved it!  My youngest (8 months) loved the beginning with all the action.  There were circus characters all over the rink in all their bright colors and moving all around.  Definitely entertaining for him.  My oldest (almost 4) loved the elephants and the big metal cages with the two guys.  He said, "Mommy, someday I can do that because I'm a Superhero!"  It was too cute!

The thing I missed the most in this year's circus compared to last years was the motorcyclists in the big sphere.  That was one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I was really bummed that wasn't in this year's performance.  I feel like there was a bit less dramatic activities in this circus compared to previous years.

I did love the new act with the bouncing feet and the neon glow in the dark people.  That was pretty neat to watch.  I also love watching the tigers.  I think one of these years, they are going to paw him a little too hard!  One of them really gave him a good whap from what I could see.  I'm sure he is used to that.  My house cats do that to me but those guys were MUCH bigger!

I got some great pictures that I hope to get up very soon.  If you haven't gotten tickets to the circus yet, there is still time!  It is definitely worth going to see and taking your little ones.  They will enjoy it for sure!
