Ghetto Star Wars Lightsabers | EASY DIY Lightsaber Tutorial

Thank you Wanda B. for sharing this on Facebook!  What's funny is, yesterday, I depleted 6 rolls of wrapping paper.  I've put them aside until after Christmas so that when they get tired of their new stuff for a bit, I can bring out the proverbial cardboard to spruce things up again, Ghetto Star Wars style! (Can also be done with toilet paper and paper towel rolls.)

Gift Wrapping For Geeks: 101 | Our “Key to Christmas” – We’re making a list….

We have come up with a fantastically geeky way to keep Christmas presents sorted this year!  We also think it's going to be a huge "peeking" deterrent since they'll have no way of knowing which gift belongs to which kiddo! Check out our system. We've put all of our kiddos gifts in Google Docs. (Gifts have been blurred for several reasons, but the main one is because Kylie is sneaky and she reads my blog when she gets on the computer, because she thinks I'm going to slip and post what she's getting!!) Then, as we wrap each gift, we WILL NOT BE PUTTING…

Are you looking for a new, fun, game to play with your preteen?  Look no further than Monopoly Deal.  Before Christmas, I won this game from a giveaway on The Mama Report, last year, and this has been a go-to game for us just about everyday! The object of the game is to get three full property sets to win, but Kylie and I take it a step further.  This game can be fast paced (and quickly over, if you're looking for something fast!), so what we do is keep score by adding all of our accumulated money and properties…

Happy Christmukkah, Merry Yuleanzza, and Good Thanksolstice – and all that jazz!

I posted this last year, but decided that it was fitting enough to post again this year! --Original Post -- I ran across a post, this evening, by Kim from What's the Smell/Accidental Mommies called Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas, and it has me thinking! Now, before you go hatin'.. make sure you read this post in its entirety!  Heaven forbid I offend you.

Take Me Fishing! Anglers’ Legacy Pledge | #Rafflecopter $100 BassProShops GC Giveaway (12/14)

*GIVEAWAY EXTENDED TO 12/14* Due to a technical issue with a tracking link, I have decided to extend this giveaway one more week.  Thank you for understanding! My favorite times from my childhood were spent on a boat with my dad.  I was pretty much the only one in our family who actually enjoyed to go out fishing with my dad, and honestly, I miss it.  I think if I had one wish, it would probably be to go out on the boat,  one more time, just me and my dad.  No kids. No husbands.  Just me and dad. I…

Earlier this year, I did a post with 10 Random Household Facts You Probably Never Knew.  From flushing your toilets to filling up your gas tanks what we do in our daily lives not only impacts our environment, but our pocket books as well.
