#FordTX invited my husband and I to a VIP test drive in a Mustang last week.  The Mustang Bucket List event was held on the Grapveine Mills Mall Parking Lot.  The stop in the DFW area was pretty appropriate because Texas is the world’s top-selling Mustang market!

In early November I had the chance to go to the 2014 Moms Meet WOW Summit.  If you’re unfamiliar with Moms Meet they are a company that works with brands to get the opinions of consumers (like you and me!) by supplying a “mom” with samples and she hosts a sampling time to share the product with her friends and family.  It’s an easy thing to do with no pressure, and the companies Moms Meet works with genuinely want to know your feedback, good AND bad.

Last week I was invited to a sneak peek of the holiday fashions and gift trends at Grapevine Mills.  Grapevine Mills, located in Grapevine, TX is the largest outlet mall in North Texas.  They have begun a renovation on the mall which will be finished next year, which will give it a new sleek look, befitting many of the upscale retailers that are in the mall.

Featuring SmartGel® technology, the Geluxury Slippers provide comfort and skin repair at the same time.  Infused with  7 botanical oils and ceramides, the dermatologist tested SmartGel® is formulated to restore, repair and rejuvenate distressed skin on the feet. The Geluxury Slippers are fully lined  with a contoured fit, providing treatment to the entire foot. With regular use, these moisture replenishing slippers will soften and smooth dry, rough skin and calluses, while repairing damaged cuticles and nail beds.

This holiday season, Nielsen-Massey Vanillas invites you to bring a personal touch back into the season by creating DIY holiday gifts for friends and loved ones. Nielsen-Massey believes that, when it comes to holiday gifting, it truly is the thought that counts, and what could be more thoughtful than a handmade gift?

Whether looking to let a teacher know how much she is appreciated, brighten the mail-carrier’s day, or surprise a coworker, DIY gifts are the perfect way to show how much you care.

When it comes to TVs and media equipment my husband has always been an early adopter.  He had a laser disc player before anyone even knew what they were (what, you don’t know what that is?  Okay most people didn’t LOL!).  We had one of the first 3D TVs on the market.  We actually replaced our TV not very long ago, and yet every. single. time. we walk into a Best Buy store, my husband gravitates to the TVs to see what’s the latest technology so he can make a list (and check it twice!).

Growing up with German parents in Canada and now living in the United States, many years we have had the privilige to celebrate Thanksgiving three times in one year 🙂

German Thanksgiving is typically celebrated the first Sunday in October, Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October and of course American Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in November.
