    Alexandra F. said:  My Breville Espresso Machine is probably the best gift I have ever received. Sure it's a splurge, but don't we moms deserve a splurge gift every once in a while? Plus, it has more than paid for itself with all the lattes I haven't bought at Starbucks since I got it!

    Kristy Pepping said:  Okay so full disclosure, I bought this for myself. However...I do plan to gift this to my friends and family now that I have used it for awhile. Every time I go for a physical, I am told I am dehydrated. As a busy mom as all moms are, I never stop and drink water. This water bottle is BPA free, and it tells you when to drink water! The bottle has marks on it indicating when to drink water throughout the day.

    Kristy Pepping said:  I just bought these for my aunt as she has been walking the neighborhood a lot. I like these weights because they look nice and fit around wrists easily. That way it leaves your arms free to exercise. The other nice part is they are only a pound each so they don't add too much resistance.

    Christi Scott said:  The book encourages time spent together by offering a variety of activity options with room to record details about your adventure and add photos of your memories. You won’t know your activity until you unveil it by scratching off the seal. There’s a time and money guide to help you choose which adventure you’d like to choose at that moment.
