Holiday Shopping Wish Lists and Gift Ideas – How Do You Keep Track?

Holiday shopping is upon us.  Some of us (ahem) are almost finished.  Some haven’t even started thinking about Christmas and refuse to until after Thanksgiving (whatever). How do you keep track of your gift “wish lists” and ideas for others?  The grandparents want to know what to give the kiddos, the spouse needs some good ideas,

Who is Henry Voting For?

We actually haven’t talked a bunch about the election with the kids. But Saturday morning, Andy and I had the news on and Henry was awake. There was lots of coverage from Romney’s trip to West Chester Friday night. So I asked him… Me: Henry, who should we vote for? Obama or Romney?Henry: Spiderman.Me: Not

After Halloween Sale for Dress-ups

Today during nap time I ran out to Target quickly. I had not been yet since Halloween and I love the after Halloween sale. Because my kids LOVE to play dress-up. And I HATE to pay a lot for dress-ups. So I always go searching for costumes on clearance. The girls are starting to outgrow

Christmas Toy Shopping Deals

Yes, it is that time…time to think about Christmas shopping!  Tis the Season.   Please tell me someone else starts their Christmas shopping as early as I do.  I prefer to get it done EARLY.  At least 90% of it.  I always leave wiggle room for that last-minute requested item from the kids.  But when

I Got to be on Camera

I Got to be on Camera

We have a year-end video at work. Every year. Makes sense, right? Well, I’ve been filmed before. And cut. This year? Probably not.     I was interviewed via phone weeks beforehand. And made the first cut. Meaning I was video-worthy. To the point that I was even tagged as a “story line”. Hmmmm…   Our

  Kim at seven thirty three custom blog design is the miracle worker who designed my blog last year.  She took the image I gave her, made it look more like me, and added colors I love in order to give me a site that still makes me giddy with happiness every time I open it. Well, this
