Eat-Laugh-Love Wall Decal from Katazoom Plus $15 Gift Card Giveaway

Disclaimer: I received a Eat Laugh Love wall decal complimentary from Katazoom in order to review it and share my opinions.
I spend so much time in my downstairs between kids activities, my home office and the family room and wet bar I am always in amazement.  We spent so much time with the initial design downstairs but it still never really felt totally personalized. I was intrigued when I heard from Katazoom that they wanted me to check out their wall decals and see my thoughts.  My mind just went wild--especially once I opened up their website.

Katazoom has wall decals for everyone's taste from casual to more formal.  They even have silly and spiritual decals so there is definitely something for every decor.  I chose the Eat Laugh Love wall decal and was impressed to see it arrive in the mail very quickly.  It arrived in a cardboard tube neatly rolled up.  You don't even need any special tools to apply it...you can use a regular credit card or even a store loyalty card!

I just unrolled the decal and placed it under a heavy book or two for a few minutes to get it straight.  Then I followed the instructions and rubbed the back with my credit card which reactivated the adhesive so it would stick properly.  I used blue painters tape to set up the exact place I wanted it on my wall. I gave it a quick wipe down with a soft cloth to make sure there was no dust on the wall at this point too which is suggested.  Then I carefully removed the attached paper and used my credit card to rub the decal gently onto the wall.  After that, I took of the front paper covering the decal and it was perfectly in placed and positioned.

I was so surprised at how easy it was to apply the Katazoom decal. It looks really great in my home, and it adds warmth and personality to an area that was just so-so.

The Promise: Birth of the Messiah DVD GIVEAWAY and Review

Disclaimer: I received a copy of The Promise:  Birth of the Messiah complimentary.  As always, my opinion is my own.


I recently received a perfect gift for any faithful family during this Christmas season. The Promise:  The Birth of the Messiah is a well crafted musical perfect for families with children of all ages. Perfect for a special Christmas gift or even Secret Santa gift for a friend. It is 50 minutes so a perfect length of time too. Take a peek at the official trailer:



In ancient Israel, during the days of King Herod, a young couple’s world is turned upside down when the prophecy of a long-awaited deliverer unfolds upon their lives. They must trust in God’s promise in the midst of rising challenges, and their faithfulness is rewarded as they witness the most surprising and glorious event of all human history – the promise fulfilled in the birth of the Messiah.
 It is a faithful adaptation of the birth narrative from the bible.  Straight from the Gospel of Luke, it is crafted in a sweet story and song.  This is sure to keep the whole family entertained while educating at the same time.  This beautiful production uses optical motion technology which blends standard animation with the high level performance talents of amazing ballet dancers and excellent dramatic stage actors.  The combination is breathtaking. This will be an inspiring story that your whole family will want to watch year after year!

You can get more information and keep up with all the wonderful releases from Glorious Films by following them on their social networks via Facebook, Twitter and on the official movie website. You can buy The Promise:  Birth of the Messiah on Amazon as well.
