Flirty Aprons Review | Mistletoe Apron #Christmas
My mom reads my blog. I think she's probably the only family member (aside from the hubby) who does, and last year, she saw me post about Flirty Aprons. She fell in love, so when I had the opportunity to do a Flirty Aprons Review, I knew that I couldn't hold out and keep the apron for myself or even hold on to it until Christmas. As soon as my beautiful model took the apron off, it went straight home with my mom. Christmas came early for her, this year! I love this apron. When I noticed that the Mistletoe…
Music Box Attic Review | Let It Snow! Frosty Tidings Snow Globe #christmas
I’m so excited. I’ve been trying to wait until at least November 20 before even thinking about Christmas decor! I want to hold out as long as I can, this year, to make sure I’m giving the turkey his time in the spotlight - but this new piece I received last week is making it really, really hard! I’m mostly excited to listen to Christmas music, and even though I haven’t turned on the radio or Christmas music stations, I’ve secretly been winding up my new musical snow globe when no one is home. I love snowmen. When I visited…
The time my dad tried to be Clark Griswold! | #christmas #memories
I really wish I had pictures. When Andy and I first got married, we were just beginning to move into the digital era, and most pictures that we took were still on 35mm cameras. One year, my dad decided that he wanted to do Christmas light Clark Griswold style. His goal was for satellites to see his property from space. Seriously. Of course, now, he probably wishes he would have had LED Christmas lights to keep his bill down. My parents had a pretty large house with a wrap around porch, and most people put icicle lights on the front…

Do you send Christmas cards? If so, have you sent them yet?

2012 Hoilday Must-Haves: Philips Norelco PowerTouch AT830
When we first got married, I remember Andy trying to shave with an electric shaver with just about no luck at all. I really didn't know why it didn't work for him, nor did I ask. When I handed him the Philips Norelco PowerTouch AT830 to try out, I could tell he was hesitant. Come to find out, he was unable to use the shaver he had, because it was a dry shaver only, and he can't dry shave without his face burning or breaking out. The AquaTec seal on the Philips electric shaver makes it 100% waterproof. Use it…

Tips to keep your baby from unwrapping the Christmas Presents
Braxton asked me this morning, "Are you starting to make the presents yet?" I guess it was his way of asking why there are no presents under the tree. By "make" he doesn't literally mean make. He means wrap the presents. The truth is, I haven't started wrapping presents, because I'm not sure if Jett will stay out of them the way he's stayed away from the tree! Almost everything we have will be easy to wrap in the boxes in which they come, which means, if Jett tears one of them, they'll know exactly what they are getting. So…
