gifts

As a little girl I remember loving seeing all of the Christmas presents under the tree. I would get so excited to dig around and see just how many were for me! I am the baby of the family, so typically there were a lot more for me than my other siblings, they are quite a bit older. However, I am also a December baby. My birthday is 4 days after Christmas on the 29th, so how did that work out for m

I recently had a family member ask what my kids want for Christmas this year? Specifically my 8 year old daughter. Yeah I get it, kids are already tough to buy for and little girls especially. But tbh, I didn't know what to tell them? I don't even know what to get this year?

We are 16 shopping days away from Christmas. Have you done any of your Christmas shopping yet? Do you even have many people to buy for, either family, friends or even co-workers? I remember when I was little there would be so many presents under the tree and there are four of us I have three other siblings. But I always knew that not only were they for our immediate family, including my parents, t

Mother's Day is this Sunday. Have you made plans? Kids? Hubby's? Who is really in charge of taking care of mom on Mother's Day? Will it be cooking out for mom, cleaning, getting her a fabulous gift? What does mom really want for Mother's Day?

Since many of us have been back-to-school shopping recently, surely you have noticed the shelves stocked up for fall, Halloween and even CHRISTMAS in some stores! I haven't even recovered yet from school supplies and backpacks and you want me to worry about Santa? lol
