Dolphin Quest Review...

We are super excited to tell you how Dolphin Quest helped to make our dreams come true! 

YES dreams DO come true!!!

We want to thank the trainer Megan who helped make our experience perfect! She is so fun and taught us a lot about our new dolphins friends!

Thank you also to the photographer Jeremiah and videographer Brittany! You both did such a fantastic job capturing our special day!

Pele is a beautiful 32 year old dolphin that stole our hearts! We loved every second we spent with her! Here are some pictures of us with her...

She is so sweet and lovable! We love how she smiles and poses for the pictures!

We were thrilled that we got to meet Haukea one of the baby dolphins who is only 10 months old! We are so in love with her!

It was super cool to have the dolphins swim under us and look at them under the water as well!

We loved our time with our precious dolphin friends and can't wait to go back and play with them again soon! :)

Pele is also such a great dancer. We had a blast dancing and swimming with her!

Dolphin Quest has three locations, one in Bermuda and two in Hawaii. We visited the one on the Big Island Hawaii, located at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort!

Here are some highlights of our experience with the dolphins...

We are so thankful we got to do this on our wedding anniversary! Our experience was everything we dreamed of and so much more!

Dolphin Quest opened in 1988, creating a place where people and dolphins could share personal interaction. It is an international organization devoted to public education and to the conservation of marine wildlife. They are widely known for their creative approach to dolphin-human interactive programs, education, commitment to ocean wildlife research, exemplary animal health care and successful breeding programs.

We love that their mission is to touch hearts and minds through fun, innovative experience that create a connection to nature and passion to learn more!

Thank you so very much Dolphin Quest for making our dreams come true!!

Scotties & Kids In Need Foundation....

I am excited that Scotties Facial Tissues is launching a new campaign in partnership with the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF)!

According to KINF, students who go without the school supplies they need struggle with self-esteem and perform worse in school than students with adequate supplies?

Scotties wants to change that! They know it’s the little things in life that matter. Every child, no matter what their circumstances, should have the supplies they need to help them be engaged in learning. Pencils, crayons and paper may seem inconsequential to the learning process, but for a child in need, they can make a world of difference.

With the help of your kids, please create a video (no more than 45 seconds) having your child answer the following question…

“If you could put one thing in a backpack and then give it to a kid who needed help getting through the school day, what would that one thing be and why?”

This is a great opportunity to get your child(ren) involved in helping other kids, because for every video created and shared on social media (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) using the hashtag #ReadySetSchool, a backpack filled with school supplies will be donated to a kid in need (up to 1,400 backpacks total) by Scotties! Our family thinks it is so awesome!

Here is my video below...

Now it's your turn! Have fun making your own video and tell all of your family and friends to do the same! 

Once your video is complete, please upload it to either your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter account between July 13 and July 31^st.

Make sure to share it using the hashtag #readysetschool – as this is the way Scotties will be counting the number of backpacks to donate.

Thank you so very much Scotties & Kids In Need Foundation for all you do to bless the lives of others!

Oriental Trading Game Night Review...

* I was provided product by Oriental Trading in exchange for reviewing these games.*

Thanks to Oriental Trading, I am really excited to tell you about their amazing games & activities!

When I found out I was in charge of a game night I knew Oriental Trading would have everything I needed to make our youth game night a huge success!

Check out the awesome Deluxe Bingo Set I received...

We are super impressed with the high quality of everything that comes in this deluxe bingo set! It includes a metal bingo ball cage, 75 wooden bingo balls, a master board, 25 bingo cards and 200 bingo chips.

We enjoyed taking turns calling out the numbers. This is a fun game that everyone loves to play and will for sure get lots of use for years to come!

Next, we played a few different bean bag games...

We put numbers on the front of the baskets and added up the points. Whoever got the most points would win a prize. We also played hot potato and had a bean bag relay.

We like that these nylon square bean bags have reinforced stitching for long-lasting play. The possibilities with these vibrant bean bags are as limitless as your imagination!

Now it was time for our final game...

Since we started the night with a service project and the theme was stars this game was a perfect way to end our night! I love that it is fabulous for all ages. The adults really enjoyed playing it also.

My hubby likes that after we played this game it is easy to store. The stars come apart and fit in the small box they came in so they don't take up a lot of room.

Here are some of the yummy prizes we handed out...

The youth were thrilled with the games and treats and are already asking when we can have another game night!

CLEO MADISON REVIEW...

* I was provided product by Cleo Madison in exchange for reviewing these clothing items.*

Thanks to Cleo Madison, I am really excited to tell you about their amazing products!

First, check out the adorable shirt I received...

I can't wait to wear this to girls camp. I know it is going to be a huge hit and everyone will love it! This shirt fits perfectly and looks so cute on. A girl can never have too many pink shirts. I love how soft and comfy the fabric is!

Next, look at the awesome skirts I got...

This black classy Karli pencil skirt is going to be great to wear dressy and casual. I like that it does not have any slits or zippers. The nice stretchy fabric moves with me and looks so slimming on!

I also love the Amsterdam Floral Skirt...

I have always loved mint and pink. Look how good they go together with this floral print. I like how delicate and pretty the flowers are. The length of these skirts are fabulous to wear all year long!

It is so hard to find modest clothing now days and I am thrilled with Cleo Madison and the selection they have! I love everything I received and can't wait to show them off!

More about Cleo Madison:

At Cleo Madison you'll find a variety of cute modest clothing items, such as dresses, shirts, skirts, and swimsuits. Modesty is always in style! If you're someone who likes to dress conservatively, you're probably having a tough time finding clothes that aren't revealing, provocative, indecent, boring and expensive, right? You're not alone. Liz, our store's co-owner, struggled with this too, so much that she, along with her husband, decided to do something about it!

Join their newsletter for 10% off your first order and be the first to get notified of new arrivals, sales, giveaways, and more. Every order in the U.S. will get free shipping too, which I think is awesome!

After you go shopping make sure and check them out on Facebook here!

"A Father's Day" the musical!

I am super excited to tell you about "A Father's Day" the musical! 

A Father’s Day is the name of an original pop musical (“pop” because the music is generally more pop-style than Broadway) written by Nate Gagon (founder of Gaxagon Media) from Salt Lake City, Utah. The show debuted with a single performance in June 2015 at Cottonwood High School (the same venue where Michael McLean perform The Forgotten Carols every year) in front of a paying audience of close to 600.

A Father’s Day will be performed annually in Utah around the Fathers Day holiday with the goal of making it a cherished local tradition and perfect Fathers Day gift/event. In 2017 the show is being performed between June 14-19 at the Summit Academy in Draper, Utah (1225 East 13200 South; 84020). The hope is that the show catches on and eventually spreads to other performing groups around the world.

More about A Father's Day...

A Father’s Day is a fantastic story about the journey of life and meaning of family, told primarily from the perspective of fictional character Matthew Harper, as he and his wife Amy experience the highs and lows of life, marriage and parenthood along with their three children, who pass through the phases of growing from childhood to adulthood. 

Our hope is that A Father’s Day will be an experience for families, couples and friends that will both entertain and uplift; make them laugh and pull at their heart strings. Our target audience is really anyone who’s ever been a son or daughter; brother or sister; mom or dad. A Father’s Day is about 2 hours, 15 minutes long. (more details on the website) 

Watch a spotlight of our amazing friend Anthony Hernandez below...

Visit www.afathersday.com for tickets or you can purchase at the door. This is for sure a show that you will NOT want to miss!

Thanks to Oriental Trading, I am really excited to tell you about their amazing 4th of July products!

First, check out the fun centerpiece we received for our kitchen table...

I am excited to show this fabulous centerpiece to our guests! It has American flags, stars, and silver firework foil bursts. I think it's great that it is nice and compact. That will make it easy to store for next year.

We are also thrilled with our new glass jar set...

They hold our 4th of July treats just perfectly and they look so classy! Oriental Trading always impresses me with the great selection of party items they have to pick from.

Now look at these awesome handouts for our party...

The star sticky notes, matching pens, socks, and mints in these cute little patriotic buckets are for sure going to be a huge hit!

Another thing we know everyone will love is this super cool Light-Up Fountain...
