7 Quick Takes: December 23, 2011 (Vol. 105)

~ 1 ~ Apparently I needed a vacation from my Disney World vacation, as I have spent all week just trying to get caught back up.  I feel like things are (maybe) finally getting back to normal. I also feel like I would like to start planning our next trip to Disney World.  Oh my [...]

Edible Gifts for Christmas: Non-Traditional Options

Yesterday, we talked about some of the more traditional options for edible holiday gifts.  So, I thought today I would share some less traditional options. No, this doesn’t mean that they are going to be crazy options.  However, they are options that are just not what you necessarily expect in a basket of goodies for [...]

Edible Gifts for Christmas: Let’s Find a Container

10 Wii Games My Elementary-Aged Kids Love

I asked the children again this year, just like I did last year (their Wii game list and their DS game list, both from last year), for their favorite Wii games.  They love the idea of helping other people know how to shop.  I also love that this list ended up containing games from a [...]

7 Quick Takes: October 28, 2011 (Vol. 101)

~ 1 ~ I’ve noticed that I have been spending less time on Facebook and Twitter lately.  (Not so much on the Pinterest front though.  Still lovin’ me some Pinterest.)  In fact, my Klout score even kind of tanked.  I was glad that when I saw that, I didn’t even flinch.  I figure that meant [...]
