Bargain hunting? Check TJ Maxx and Marshall’s
I finished my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve, with the exception of two gifts. Money, and the lack thereof, is a huge issue in my house this year as it is in many others. I think it’s going to be a long uphill road that we all travel before it gets better. I’ve been trying [...]
How soon is too soon?
The day after Christmas means more than new things. It also means cleaning up and finding places to put the new things. Growing up my Dad always liked us to keep our Christmas gifts under the tree for a good week or so. We were never allowed to put our new things right away. I’m [...]
Managing Christmas Day visits
Who visits multiple houses on Christmas? My Mom stops over both my house and LB1′s house on Christmas morning to watch her grandchildren open some gifts. Nana and Grandpa are good but they can’t be in two places at once. (Good thing all four children don’t live here and have kids or Nana and Grandpa [...]
Cats and Christmas trees
Well, the treadmills been moved to the back porch and RB put the Christmas tree up. Both of the cats can be found under it regularly now, trying to see what they can get into. What is it about cats and Christmas trees? Every cat that I’ve ever had has tried to play with the [...]

Great starting out of the gate but not much for stamina
So hubby’s been working nights. If you know me then you know I’ve been bitchy as hell. Well, more like our whole house has been. Let’s just say things are very tense. So RB was originally hired for a supervisor spot but when he started they put him on the floor as a stock person [...]
Wreaths Direct review and giveaway
Every year, towards the middle of December we put up a real Christmas tree, the only kind of tree I have ever had. One of the things I do every year on Black Friday is start decorating the house for Christmas. Inside we put up some animated figures and hang cards and other decorations. Outside [...]
A Christmas surprise exposed
Anyone that knows me well knows that I’m totally nuts for the band Hinder. I got two of my three brothers listening to them as well as my hubby and both of my sons. When my favorite band announced on Friday that they’re kicking off a tour in February starting in San Diego, I knew [...]
