Gaylord Palms ICE presents The Nutcracker! Orlando FL

This years theme is the Nutcracker, so all the ICE is the story book coming to life in the ICE. As you enter you feel as though your apart of the story, the colors are amazing along with wow its made of ICE, the details make your jaw drop. Everyone will surely enjoy the ICE experience, wither it be the the story, art work or the joy of sharing with friends and family, its worth seeing.

Gaylord Palms supplies you with parkas which help fight the bitter cold. ICE! is kept at a frigid 6° Fahrenheit (-16° Celsius) closed-toe shoes and long pants are required. I couldn't find gloves for the older kids and they were screaming over there hands hurting, I recommend you pick up some gloves before coming because you will be sorry, but you can also purchase them at the gift shop while there.
One note about gloves though, if you have a touch screen camera/phone it will not work with gloves on! Ice requires additional purchase, parking is $18 for the day. You can purchase Ice tickets by clicking here.

ICE took us about 20 minutes to see it all, mostly because the kids were so cold so we were rushed through, but if they had been dressed appropriately (with gloves!) it would have been at most 40 minutes to truly enjoy all the works of art, along with the ice slides. All the kids LOVED the slides! We did enjoy ourselves and would recommend this as a one of a kind experience.

 

This year in edition to ICE you can upgrade to experience Snow Tubing which of course for everyone in FL is a big deal on its own since we never have snow. Snow Tubing is set up with different slides which they provide you a tube and you get to race one another down the slopes. Its really fun and you can add it to your ICE ticket you can purchase the combo here, which when you purchase in advance you save time and money.

If you are staying at the Gaylord Palms you can make your way into the main area which they have all decorated for Christmas and have live stage shows, we got to see the show Luminescence-featuring the Edge Efftect we loved the show and the kids were jaws dropped eyes wide watching. The show itself took 30mins, they had the drummer in the sky and  a woman doing airal arts and light effects, it was great!

As most of you know, I rely on Best Buy for so much of my Holiday Shopping. With Expert Service and Unbeatable Price these top gifts are on my list this Holiday and here's why they should be on yours:

Xbox One is the place for games.

What is Xbox One?

Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. With the best exclusive titles (Halo, Sunset Overdrive), the biggest blockbusters (Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty) the hottest sports franchises (Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15) and top family titles (Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15, Skylanders) Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level.

In addition to being a great gaming console, Xbox one connects consumers unlike any other device.  Xbox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps.  With Xbox One all of your media is at your fingertips when you want it.

JBL:

JBL Charge 2- Between the twin passive radiators for deep bass, the massive 6000mAh battery and the hands-free conference speakerphone the key benefit is the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker.

JBL Flip 2- Aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, the key benefit of the JBL Flip 2 is the SoundClear echo and noise cancellation combined with the state-of the art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.

JBL Reflect Earbud headphones-  Sweat proof ergonomic design.  With a 5 hour rechargeable battery and a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT’s key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.

Did you know how common fertility issues are?

When I was trying to get pregnant with my first son, we experienced some fertility issues, so this topic really hits close to home. I know how it feels to want a baby so badly and not be able to get pregnant. Hopefully this article will help anyone going through the same thing.


There are seven main causes for female fertility problems. These seven problems can cause a lot of issues for women who are trying to conceive. Luckily, there is a natural, drug free fertility supplement called Conceive Easy that can make things a bit easier, by boosting fertility and nourishing the reproductive system of women. It is a natural aid that boosts the body's fertility level by stimulating ovulation and effectively overcoming the seven most common causes of infertility. It’s also an over the counter supplement, which means it can be obtained without a doctor’s prescription, and it is very affordable. Also, you don’t have to worry about side effects, like you do with other fertility drugs.

To get the Kit, all you have to do is order online, and your supplements will be delivered straight to your door. You also get a handy Getting Started TTC guide, which can direct you on what to do. A basal body thermometer is included in the kit to help you chart your fertile days. You also get your choice of 20 free pregnancy tests or 20 free ovulation tests as well. And who couldn't use free pregnancy tests & OPKs?

How to Survive the Holidays with Kids + Safety 1st Car Seat Giveaway!

According to AAA last year 94.5 million people were on the roads, train tracks or in the skies during the holiday season.  That’s a lot of people! Then add your own kids into the mix of congestion and for some it can mean holiday headaches.  However, Safety 1^st has some tips to help fight some of those headaches this season.

1.      Avoid peak travel days –Try not to fly or drive the days immediately before and after the actual holiday.  Those are the busiest travel days. However, if you fly or take a train you might save money by traveling on the actual holiday, the roads are less congested too.

2.      Prepare your child for the trip – Holiday parties can be overwhelming with sensory overload.  Especially for young children it’s good to talk about the upcoming trip days even weeks in advance.  This will help him or her get excited about the journey.  Show photos of family members or friends your child has not met yet, this way the new face might be a little familiar on arrival. 

3.       “Are we there yet?” - To help avoid that dreaded phrase an hour into your six hour trip reserve a bag just for the kids, include books, toys, diapers a change of clothes and snacks.  Pre-load a tablet or smartphone with kid friendly apps or games. If you are driving keep all necessary items such as wipes, hand sanitizer or tissues easy to reach in a second – there are times you may not want to be digging through the bottom of a bag for such items. The Safety 1^st Car Door Sanitation Station is a great solution.

4.      Car Seats – If you are flying check to make sure your car seat is FAA certified. If it’s not clearly labeled contact the manufacture. For parents with older children the Safety 1^st BoostAPack can double as a kid survival kit, it’s FAA certified, and will fit in the plane overhead bin.

If you are driving make sure your car seat is installed correctly. If it’s been awhile since you visited a car seat check, it’s recommended to check your seat with a Certified Child Safety Technician in advance of your trip. Safercar.gov is a great resource.

5.      Prepare the guest room – If your child will be sleeping in a Play Yard during the trip, use that for bed or nap time the entire week before. This will help him or her get used to a new sleep environment.  Also if your infant or child sleeps better in a dark room or tends to wake up early with the morning light, bring garbage bags or dark fabric to tape over windows.

I love all these tips, I know for me, number 4 hit home the most. I have a lot of friends and family who travel during the Holidays, and I am always reminding them to get their car seat checked as they rent cars and fly.

LUMA COMFORT HC12B Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier Review

With cold and flu season fast approaching, I knew I was going to need a humidifier for me and the boys ASAP! I wanted to make sure I got one that I didn't have to stop and refill all day and night long.

The LUMA COMFORT HC12B Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier is exactly what I was looking for!

• Covers 650 square feet
• Demineralization cartridge prevents lime scale and mineral buildup
• Generates micro fine mist
• Great for bedrooms or nurseries
• Naturally eliminates dust particles
• Operates up to 45 hours per tank fill

Dry skin and chapped lips will be a thing of the past, especially when you purchase the Luma Comfort HC12B. The ultrasonic cool mist humidifier keeps you comfortable, while also looking great with its sleek and slim vase design, this product seamlessly blends in with your home's decor.  The HC12B Cool Mist Humidifier produces 2.5 gallons of mist daily and effectively covers rooms up to 650 square feet. Therefore making it perfect for any medium to large size room.  Ultrasonic technology also ensures energy-efficiency and near-silent operation.  Incredibly easy to operate, the Luma Comfort HC12B humidifier comes with a remote control and lasts up to 45 hours per single tank fill.

The number one reason why I love this humidifier is that it lasts 45 hours for one tank fill! I can't tell you how many times I have gotten up in the middle of the night to refill an empty tank. Now, I don't have to worry! I also love that I can see the humidifier working, and that there are several different settings, so each person who needs it can get just the right amount. For example, I set it on the lowest setting for my kids, and the higher settings for me!

This Year Get an LG OLED TV From Best Buy!

This year, on the top of my family's Holiday list is an  LG OLED TV.

What is OLED TV?

The stunning design of LG OLED TV is only 0.21″ thick at its thinnest point. Picture quality is spectacular, with Infinite Contrast that ranges from the most blazing whites to the deepest blacks. And, LG’s exclusive 4 Color Pixel technology delivers bright, vibrant colors.
OLED self-lighting pixels are able to switch on and off individually, offering the first infinite contrast ratio. Contrast ratio measures the range from the brightest whites on the screen to the darkest blacks. These deep blacks seem to melt away, for a greater sense of realism and depth on all content. Higher is better, and infinite has been impossible… until now.
LG’s 4 Color Pixel technology adds a white sub-pixel to the conventional three colors (red, green and blue) that enhances both color range and accuracy. This considerably improves the OLED pixels’ ability to express realistic colors and represents a giant step ahead of conventional RGB displays. The 4 Color Pixel is LG’s exclusive innovation for the next-generation OLED TV.
LG’s remarkably thin OLED TV opens up a whole new possibility of style and design with a depth of only 0.17″ at its thinnest point, the same thickness as a pencil. The brilliant technology of OLED enables a simpler internal structure than conventional displays. With just two layers, the LG OLED TV is unbelievably lightweight and wafer-thin.
Every aspect of LG OLED TV is designed to enhance your viewing pleasure. The curve of the screen is designed so that your eyes are equally distant from all parts of the screen when sitting in front of the TV, providing a natural and immersive viewing experience. It’s an artful evolution of the traditional flat screen, designed for maximum impact.
LG Smart TV with the new webOS* platform is quick to learn and fun to use. The intuitive webOS user interface features a redesigned Launcher menu that pulls together all of your entertainment choices. webOS serves up entertainment** options that neatly organize your recent viewing history, what’s on live TV, and what you might like to watch next, while the integrated LG Store is ready to deliver the latest movies, TV shows and apps.

LG OLED TV FEATURES:

• LG  55EC9300 SKU# 7846019 – OLED TV
•  Infinite contrast ratio and stunning color – delivers more natural, lifelike viewing
• 4 Color Pixel technology enhances color range and accuracy
• Super thin design (consider how to show visually)
• Find content faster with webOS

You can get the at Best Buy for their everyday price of $3499.99 (which is $500 less than other retailers).  You can learn more at LGOLEDatBestbuy.com
