Le Top
Adorable Clothing For Little Ones
Recently I was introduced to le top clothing for little ones. I was immediately in love with the entire site and so sad that Emily was at the tail end of the clothing sizes. le top clothing is for sizes newborn to 6x.
My daughter, who is in awe of anything leopard, was beside herself where her Born to Be Wild Faux Fur coat, hat and matching shoulder bag purse arrived! She could not wait to check them out. Of course the weather in our area was overly warm during Fall, so the minute a little bit of a chill took hold she grabbed for the coat, hat and purse and out the door she went.

She even convinced me it was a great school choice (for Fridays).  If you have a daughter, you know that they can be pretty choosy when it comes to clothing. It took me forever to find this out since my sons just wore whatever I chose.
It’s a whole new way of life for me now. Anyway, I wish I could turn back the hands of time and have found le top brand when Em was a tiny one. This line of clothing is just so adorable and well made.
If you are looking for clothes for a little boy or girl, look no farther.

#Giveaway Divine Chocolate and The Holidays- Perfect Together! #Countdown2Christmas

Divine Chocolate and The Holidays
A Perfect Pair
#Giveaway
It seems that when I start to plan holiday get togethers the first thing that comes to my mind is baking and of course, chocolate! I will use any excuse to get that delicious chocolate into my kitchen!
This year I was thrilled to find out that Divine Chocolate had two new options that I had never tried before.
Dark Chocolate Sun Dried Apricots are delicious. Although I love to bake with Divine Bittersweet and White Chocolates, the thought of just serving Chocolate Covered Sun Dried Apricots and Dark and Milk Chocolate Mixed Nuts in a little candy dish put a smile on my face. My family enjoyed both! How do I know? There was nothing left in the dish within minutes! That’s always a sure sign they liked it!

 As you already know, I really enjoy baking. Sometimes I do take a shortcut but add my own twist to it. In this case, I used a premade breakfast bun/roll and cut each one into four pieces. This way I was able to have bite sized yummy bits! Before I baked them up I put them into the Divine Cocoa. You can’t imagine how delicious this smells while baking! When the mini bun bites were baked up, I put a little powder sugar and water mixture on top and then some bits of dark and white chocolate. They came out absolutely delicious. Writing about them makes me want to get up and make some more. This is going to be a big hit throughout the holidays when the kids are home from school. I also used the white chocolate to top off pancakes the other morning. Yum! There are a million ways to used Divine Chocolate and Divine Cocoa.

The Divine world is full of wonderful flavors, irresistible chocolate experiences, recipes and stories. For more information, please visitwww.divinechocolateusa.com. Connect with Divine Chocolate on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/divinechocolateusa and Twitter:http://twitter.com/divinechocusa.

Visiting The Hershey Area? The Hotel Hershey Is A Must! #HersheyPA @HersheyPA

by 3 Comments

Visiting The Hershey Area? 
The Hotel Hershey Is A Must!
There is no mistake that our family loves to travel. With three children that vary in ages from adult to seven years old, sometimes keeping everyone happy can be a challenge. Recently our family was hosted by Hotel Hershey for a weekend of Christmas fun! It is definitely a weekend that will be talked about for a long time to come. Although we are not newcomers to Hershey, Pa- our family has never visited the Hotel Hershey before. Our first impression as we climbed the hill with our van was the grandness of the hotel.
 Hotel Hershey sits high on a mountain that is across the road from the well known Hershey Park.
From the moment we entered the grounds we know our weekend would be spectacular.
The welcoming, door opening and check in was hassle free. To describe the staff in one word I would have to choose charming. The Hotel Hershey is a resort onto itself with many shoppes that range in tastes from one of a kind jewelry, clothing, spa wear, to stuffed animal friends, coffee and of course that world famous chocolate made fresh every day right in Hershey, Pa!
Perusing the grounds is a must when you stay at the Hotel Hershey. There is so much to explore. It was very hard to leave, even when it came to leaving for something as special as Christmas in Candy Lane at the nearby Hershey Park. There is also a daily list of activities(included with your stay) for the families that visit. During our stay we attended the cookie decorating event. 
Checking out a new room is always an adventure for our family. Sometimes your expectations are popped as soon as the door opens. Not the case at all at the Hotel Hershey. Our family of five fit perfectly into our room choice with elbow room, which is always important when you have children. It’s really kind of funny to watch my kids go into the room.  They always check for little things that make “this hotel” more special. Emily was thrilled to find the entire Starbucks set up inside the cabinet hidden away. Adam loved the view of the hedges so eloquently shaped into HH along with the fabulous window view. It was as picturesque as a painting. Louie of course checked the bed comfort which quickly was given the thumbs up! 
As for me, I always love to see the bathroom set up. It was one to die for including everything you could imagine- bath salts, sponges, washes, lotions, take home slippers and a robe(available for purchase).
Charming, Clean and Comfortable! We loved the Hotel Hershey!
Did I mention the pool and spa area? 
The Hotel Hershey has an extensive list of spa treatments available to hotel guests. This time I did not have a chance to try any of them, maybe on the next trip!
As for the pool, or should I say pools. The pool is very large along with a separate kiddie pool and a whirlpool. If that is not enough, there is a sauna in the dressing room along with showers and a full line of items to help you get ready for the day if you have already checked out. We did try out the pool and honestly could have stayed there for hours if we had more time.
Of course there are also numerous restaurants within the hotel including the famous Circular Dining Room.
One of my favorite areas of the Hotel Hershey was just relaxing and chatting with the family in the luxurious second floor grand lobby and fountain, just lovely.
If you are planning a trip to the Hershey, Pa area or just looking for a resort to spend a little quality one on one time with your special someone or your family, look no farther than the Hotel Hershey. This resort has something for everyone and will make your family feel as special as they did ours. We cannot wait to get back to the Hotel Hershey and spend more time exploring the dining and Chocolate Spa.

Kidz Can Design
The Perfect Personalized Gift
#Giveaway on our
Countdown2Christmas
Being a mom for the past twenty-two years has taught me one thing, life goes by fast. That little baby you hold in your arms will be driving before you blink you eye. I have had the fortunate life of my children all being eight years apart-making my youngest daughter only seven. Even those seven years have passed in a heartbeat. Recently Emily has been trying her hand at cursive writing. It’s something she has been self teaching just turning seven a few weeks ago. One of the very first surprise pictures she made was this one where she drew a picture of “Mommy and Me” and tried to write her name in cursive. These are the priceless moments in life I wish I could just freeze forever! Although the moment only last a minute I think I have found a way to make it last much longer.

Kidz Can Design is a wonderful company that takes your child’s artwork and transforms it into a piece of jewelry that you can treasure forever. Honestly, I’m not that good at keeping the artwork. After years of watching hoarders, I try to keep our house pretty paper free. That is not to say that I do not keep special papers, artwork, and more.

Choosing a work of art that my daughter drew was tough to choose. She does love to draw and there were quite a few drawings laying around when I was invited by Kidz Can Design, but I thought this one really meant a lot to me. This was was already in a special “going to keep you forever” space in my house.
Now I can not only keep it on paper, I can wear it! 
The quality of the transformation is just incredible. My daughter was thrilled to see her artwork turn into a piece of jewelry that mommy can wear forever! I have been wearing it since the day it arrived and it has become quite a conversation piece. 
If you are looking for something very very special to share with yourself or your relatives, this is the perfect gift. Look no farther. It’s perfect! Your artwork is available as sterling silver pendant, sterling silver charm, key chain or bookmark.
GIVEAWAY
I’m thrilled to be able to offer one 3decades3kids reader a chance to have their own child’s artwork turned into jewelry! Trust me, you will love it! How can you not!? Giveaway ends on 12/15. Prize delivery is given through a CODE that is redeemable on the KidzCanDesign site! Value $70.

#Giveaway Teleflora Robertsons Inspired 

Arrangements “Duck the Halls” #MerryQuackmas
Teleflora’s Jeweled Ornament ($52.95)
Once the holidays begin and the tree is up, I cannot help but think of my next favorite thing-flowers! Every year our family sends flowers as a form of love to ones we cannot actually spend Christmas with. Since our family is all over it is just something we have found to be a very heartwarming way to represent ourselves in their homes. This year I was pleasantly surprised to find out about The Robertsons inspired arrangements “Ducky Dynasty”. After catching a few episodes of Duck Dynasty I did not know what to expect from them when it came to floral arrangements. It looks like they have an awesome flair for floral arranging. Our family was thrilled to be able to check out two of the three arrangements up close when they were delivered to our house. Let me tell you that our house smells heavenly, not to mention how gorgeous the arrangements are.
How gorgeous is this?
Recently I also had the chance to meet up and chat with Korie Robertson first hand. She is just a delight to talk to and has so many wonderful ideas. We chatted about the holidays and about her family’s love of Christmas!
“Giving and receiving a beautiful bouquet, combined with the holiday fun of the Duck the Halls music, is the perfect way to spread holiday cheer to loved ones near and far,” said Tracey Moses, chief marketing officer, Teleflora. “We are thrilled to partner with the Robertson family, who enjoy celebrating the holidays with their joyful family Christmas traditions.”
