Blogmas 2014 - Day 18 Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Ok, in the years past we've done tons and tons of candy and cheap little dollar tree items or things from the dollar aisle at Target. This year, I was determined to do better. My kids are playdoh obsessed so I bought a case of it to split between them. I also bought figurines from some of their favorite shows or little toys. Ben got Scooby Doo, Sydney got Littlest Pet Shop, Rylie got Peppa Pig, and Scottie got Disney princess. I do need to try and find chocolate coins. That is their favorite and they always get them from Santa, but that might be pretty close to the only candy that they get. They just don't really eat that much candy. They love it but get side tracked, and lets be honest, they don't need the sugar, especially with all the other cookies and such around at Christmas. I also got the big girls two plush Disney Princesses each, Ben a plush Olaf, and Scotland one plush Disney Princess. This year I was determined to not get a bunch of stuff I'll be throwing away a week after Christmas, and I think I accomplished that.

Happy Homemaker Monday

As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am::: Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving! What to fix. I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it. On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too. I love the story behind the video. The people in it are NOT actors. The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance. Amazing. And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014. If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about. When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees. I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold. It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees. When I was younger it was the parking lot. There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to. We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences. My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought. We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree. As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot. We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly.... I'm not. I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them. I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children. Maybe next year. Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year. I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time. It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
