Piczzle is a personalized and special photo puzzle perfect for Mother's Day or Father's Day review {Giveaway}

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I always struggle to come up with creative gifts...I like to top myself each year but it gets harder and harder as time goes by. My mom has everything....really everything but she loves her kids and grandkids.  I was thinking about picture puzzles recently and thought that would be an idea present for Mother's Day.  I had a great picture that my hubby took last summer of us and I thought it would be cool to turn a picture into puzzle as a gift idea. Cute and fun for her to put together with my little one. It was super easy to upload the photo and order it on their website.  It came out so adorable too! Piczzle Photo Puzzles would be a great gift for Father's Day too now that I am thinking about it. We love puzzles and it is something totally different and unique.

You can find Piczzle Photo Puzzles on Facebook and follow them for updates to exclusive deals and special promotions too.  Check out their Piczzle Photo Puzzles and their YouTube videos too to get additional ideas for good photos that you can transform into a Piczzle Photo Puzzle and give as a great gift.  I am thinking this will be a great Mother's Day gift for my mother-in-law next year since I am giving one to my mom this year.



Piczzle's Cardboard Puzzles are made of outstanding materials.  You can see that they keep the original colors true with amazing print quality. My husband is an avid photographer and her was truly impressed as well with the Mother's Day gift I created through the Piczzle website.  You can see the top craftsmanship they use and and the colors are so gorgeous, you can see they are the highest print quality. All Piczzle cardboard picture puzzles are constructed of a premium grade cardboard that has been laminated with a glossy finish. It looks like the kind of puzzle that you buy at a specialty toy store. Very well made. Piczzle shared with me that their cardboard puzzles are precision press cut so that all pieces will be perfectly match one another and they are printed using an advanced digital printing technique.  That must be how they get those sharp, bright colored prints.

Meals By The Week Meal Planning Subscription Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Are you a busy working mama like me?  It is a real challenge to get healthy meals on the table every night especially on those weeknights. Between those kids activities and squeezing in my own gym time I am so grateful for my wonderful hubby. He cooks alot of the time too and we both have our own styles. It gets hard to be creative all the time though and sometimes our meals get ho-hum. Meals by the Week is a great service that helps busy families like ours plan organized, delicious dinner menus that save time, trim the budget and make meal time fun and fresh every week. I didn't realize that Meals by the Week publishes menus for many of the big name grocery stores throughout the country so they have been around the block a few times. They know what people like and they even publish menus for two of my favorite smaller healthy grocery stores....if you look on their website you will see for yourself.  Meals by the Week knows how to make yummy meals that come together quick! They even offer diet-specific menus for people who want a Paleo, Vegetarian, or 400 Calorie Dinner menus.


There are a lot of options out there to plan your meals though. What makes Meals by the Week different? You can scale the menu to the size of your family (from 2-16 people). Even if you have a big family you can tailor Meals by the Week to exactly what you need. Also, when you remove a meal from your menu because you don't want to fix it, the ingredients are automatically removed from your printable shopping list as well.  That saves you time!


Meals by the Week makes it easy to prepare simple but tasty meals the whole family will love.  Think about how much easier shopping and cooking will be when you don't have to rack your brain for meal ideas. You can spend hours trolling on Pinterest for ideas or you can just sign up for Meals by the Week and use that time to spend with your family!


You can get more information by following Meals by the Week on Facebook and Twitter. Don't forget to enter my Rafflecopter giveaway for a free 26-week subscription to Meals By The Week below!a Rafflecopter giveaway

The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.  However, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. 
There is nothing like having a tiny little baby or little toddler. They are just sweet as can be.  Nothing is more fun than a warm bath too! On the other hand bath time can be so nerve wracking. You worry about them with the water...too hot...too cold...how can you be sure?  Baby Bath Duckymeter is an adorable solution. 
Duckmeter is a cute little bath toy in a bright yellow color. It is soft and sweet. It has a special secret though. It checks the water temperature every second. Now, of course we all know babies and children should never be left unattended even for a second in a bath but Duckymeter is an extra layer of comfort. 
Baby Bath Duckymeter instantly activates in the water. It is a fun and safe waterproof bath toy that floats naturally! It is fully submersible and has an easy to read LCD screen. Green is a a just right temperature. Red is too hot and blue is too cold. Easy as 1-2-3! 
It has no loud sounds and it is sensor activated. Batteries are included.  It is recommended for age 0+ with constant adult supervision. You can find this adorable Duckymeter Tub Temperature Monitor and Floating Toy on Amazon for easy shopping. Perfect for a baby shower gift basket too.
