This Is Why I Shouldn’t Receive Books For Christmas

I have had my nose buried in the new Stephen King that I got for Christmas, it was fantastic! The only problem is I received several books for Christmas and I barely take a breath and I am diving headlong into the next ‘juicy’ (um eww) tale which is The [...]


Excuses, Excuses…

I keep making excuses when anybody asks me “what ya been doing, you haven’t blogged?” or if asked like I was recently if I am slacking because unlike last year when I had a flurry of things to write about Christmas, this year I have done very few. I keep saying “Oh I’ve been busy.” [...]


You Know Somethings Wrong When I Only Have A Snowglobe

I have twittered it and I have grumbled about it to friends and family but now I am going to get it out of my system because every time I hear someone mention Black Friday it makes me grit my teeth and start bitchin’. Why you may inoocently ask? Why when anyone who knows me [...]


What A Show!

I took my daughter to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes at the Target Center in Minneapolis last weekend. Now I did this for several reasons, I think the Rockettes are amazing, I have never taken her to any big shows, and she saw the commercial and said “Oh Mommy if you [...]

The Eleventh Blog Of Christmas Is About Wrapping Gifts

It’s all winding down now the only thing left is the crying, wait no I mean wrapping. The one thing about a large Christmas is wrapping all the presents. I realized last year I left my paper at my Mom’s so this year I had to totally replenish my supply so I ended up spending [...]


The Tenth Blog Of Christmas Is About Last Minute Shopping

Okay, so I don’t know about you but I’m done, I finished my last minute shopping on the 20th which is pretty good for me because I have had years where I was out on Christmas Eve, It’s not that I’m not done it’s more like I can’t stop. I keep thinking “oh yeah I [...]


The Ninth Blog Of Christmas Is About Advent Calendars

Whoever invented the advent calendar is a genius! I think we should have an advent calendar for every month of the year. Let me explain. Every year I usually pick up a couple of those chocolate advent calendars, my kids have always liked them and my daughter mentioned getting one back in November.
When I [...]
