kandoo

Love to surprise my grandchildren at Christmas with the fun and unexpected. There will be plenty of toys, dolls and games under the tree. I think I found a great way to get the kids to wash their hands. Kandoo have perfect stocking stuffers for little ones. Their moisturizing hand soap, that comes in bright foam colors is hypoallergenic and easy for  Liam  to use. Kandoo Hair Detangler is great for taming Natalies’ thick wavy locks with its salon quality formula.

Keep them happy and clean!!

cc

With decadent desserts, sodium-filled sides and gluten-packed snacks, the holidays tend to send diets free-falling. PARTNERS Crackers offers allergy-friendly and healthier ways to enjoy the season with its Free for All Kitchen gluten-free deli crackers.

The first taste tester was the hardest – my son in law. My daughter is gluten free and so he happy to have a cracker with great taste and texture.

My niece and grandson made a game of “Lady and The Tramp” eating their cracker from both ends.

Natalie and Liam took a break from drawing and coloring, they liked the Olive Oil with Sea Salt the best.

Free for All Kitchen products are GMO-Free and rely on a delicious blend of cassava flour and five ancient grains – never corn, rice or soy – for the perfect gluten-free snack cracker. Nice to know.

Birthday Tradition On Broadway #ThePhantomOfTheOpera

My darling niece Sandra celebrated a birthday in October and I asked her what show she would like to see this year. Without hesitation she replied “The Phantom Of The Opera”. The weekend of her birthday we had a family brunch celebration at Sabor De Cuba. Love getting together with my family.

I let Sandra pick the date and she picked a day in November. I meet her at the Majestic Theatre after work with the tickets in my bag. The line was long, people excited to see the play waiting in the rain to watch the longest running show in Broadway history!!

The Astolat Dollhouse Castle #DollHouseCastle

Goovinmoms recently went to see The Astolat Dollhouse Castle.    When we got the invite to view this dollhouse we both wondered what could be so special about this dollhouse.  How could it be considered the most valuable dollhouse in the world?  I mean a dollhouse is a dollhouse…nothing special.

However, when we came face to face with The Astolat Dollhouse Castle we quickly  realized why this dollhouse was not just your regular girls dollhouse.  This dollhouse is the “MOST VALUABLE DOLLHOUSE IN WORLD!”1025141155a (1)

The Astolat Dollhouse Castle was designed and built by famed Colorado miniaturist Elaine Diehl with help from experts and miniature artisans from around the globe. It was modeled and named after the Castle in Tennyson’s Lady of the Shallot and took more than thirteen years to originally complete. Since that time it has been updated and thousands of new furnishings and fixtures have been added.

Details, it’s all about the details.  IMG_70351 IMG_7027110204_2We loved looking through the dollhouse windows into the perfectly decorated rooms.  The dollhouse just seemed so real.

The Astolat Dollhouse Castle will help raise funds for multiple children’s charities.  The Astolat Dollhouse is worth 8.5 million dollars with 30,000 pieces of furniture, art, rugs, books and antiques.  The dollhouse will display 10,000 pieces this holiday season at The Shops At Columbus Circle at Time Warner Center, November 12th – December 8th.
