Stovetop Christmas Potpourri – DIY Gift Idea

lilsugar

Need a last minute gift idea that won’t break the bank, or perhaps something to make your house feel a little extra merry this holiday season. Stovetop potpourri is one of my favorite smells! Especially because it can be made easily, reused a couple of times and simply made up for gifting too. The combination of oranges, cranberries, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks just feels like Christmas. Simmer on low for a couple of hours and your home will feel so cozy and inviting. The smell lingers for hours afterwards too!  …

No Butter Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe

lilsugar

Around this time of year I love to bake, particularly really strong smelling Christmas type cookies. Something about cinnamon or gingerbread that makes cozy winter afternoons seem like the holidays. This year I came across a simple recipe that I just had to share with my readers. This snickerdoodle recipe makes the most soft and chewy cookies that smell just like Christmas morning. The kids and I are thinking of purchasing clear boxes and gifting them for friends, family and teachers complete with a big red ribbon – makes the…

If you haven’t already come across a PlasmaCar in your lifetime you are truly missing out. The Original PlasmaCar is an innovative, ride-on toy that harnesses the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, friction, and kid power to move. That’s right, no batteries, gears, or pedals – just pure fun and child’s play at its best! As a family we have tried out these smooth little machines at Chapters Indigo on occasion as well as at friends homes, and to be honest they are super-fun! Even for adults like me.…

lilsugar

Capturing those holiday moments are always important and Fujifilm makes it easier with their new Instax SHARE SP-2 Printer! Who ever invented the idea of printing photos straight from your mobile phone is a genius in my opinion – I mean, I am already obsessed with the idea of instant photos with a camera but the reality of it is that I am always attached to my cell phone and sometimes photos from there get posted to social media and hardly ever actually printed. With the new Instax SHARE SP-2…

#LilGiftList Kite Flyer Finn & Rockabilly Lottie Giveaway!

lilsugar

With so many dolls on the market, it really is hard to distinguish which are appropriate roll models when it comes to our children. In our family, both my boys fully enjoyed playing with dolls and the imaginative play that goes along with having them. I did however notice that a lot of the tinier dolls appear very ‘mature’ and sometimes unrealistic in terms of clothing, makeup and body proportions. That’s why I was thrilled to receive the Lottie dolls for review and to giveaway to one of my fans.…

#LilGiftList Little Live Pets My Dream Kitten, Cuddles Giveaway!

lilsugar

When I was little my parents brought home the most adorable white kitten, she was fluffy and perfect just like the Cottonelle commercials circa 1985 featured. I loved that cat so much until I held her…lets just say FUR EVERYWHERE! Her shedding was horrible – she left her mark everywhere she visited and it became a nuisance to everyone who would visit. Imagine eating fur in your meals, wearing it on your clothing and finding it in your bed – gross! BUT she was gorgeous – in fact we tried…
