The moment Peyton was born was the moment I started carrying around a camera and taking pictures nonstop. She's 6 years old and I have a ton of pictures of her! Now there is a way for me to take my photos and turn them into one of a kind pieces of art. Thanks to Gifted Custom Art I can create a masterpiece in my own home from a photograph. I took one of my favorite holiday photo of Peyton and sent it into Gifted Custom Art. They turned it into a paint by numbers art project on canvas! Now I ...

Protect Your Color with ColorProof
I spend a lot of money every other month coloring my hair. Anybody that colors their hair knows how expensive it is and how frustrating it is when it fades or washes out.

Unlike other products out there that care for your hair color, ColorProof always recognizes you have hair needs beyond taking ...
Give the Gift of Hope
Last year Peyton and I took in The Compassion Experience. I wanted to teach my child about helping others and giving hope to those less fortunate. We went through the exhibit and learned about the lives of 3 children - Rueben, Brinda and Julia. I was moved by these children's experiences. Because of Compassion International and generous sponsors these children were lifted up from poverty, saved from violence and given a chance at a better life. Peyton was surprised to see how other children ...

AXE Body for the Holidays
I have a nephew that is turning the big 10 in a few weeks. As he gets older it is becoming harder to shop for him. Why? Because I can't buy him a remote control car and call it a day.

When kids start to hit puberty they need different hygiene products than when they were toddlers. AXE has several lines of body care products that the boys and dads can use. AXE is also ...
Bring Home Pete’s Dragon for the Holidays
Earlier this year I took Peyton to see Pete's Dragon in the theater. It was a pretty emotional film, for both of us. I was concerned this would turn Peyton off but it didn't. Pete's Dragon is full of emotional scenes that engage the audience. Within the first 30 seconds, we were both engrossed in the film. I will admit, the first 10 minutes or so are pretty intense. As a parent, I was moved by the opening scene. We see Pete and his family on a road trip and Pete is reading to his mother. Such a ...
