My Christmas Wish List

‘Tis the season for giving and receiving. I’ve done a lot of shopping and giving for others this season, and now it’s time to think about what I want.  ‘Tis also the season for sticking to a budget. But sticking to a budget this year doesn’t mean I have to cut back on my Christmas Wish List, it just means I need to be a little bit savvier.

The Creation and Savings on Life’s Precious Moments

I present to you the details in the making of America’s most beloved figurines from Precious Moments.

Laughter is Cheaper than Candy This Halloween

Happy Halloween! One of my personal favorite holidays, the perfect combination of costumes, candy, and a silly spooky good time. My friends and I throw a highly anticipated over-the-the top Pumpkin Punch and Zombie Zinfandel costume extravaganza each year. The lawn becomes a creepy ghostly graveyard and the house a blacklit Dr. Frankenstein disco room primed for the Monster Mash. Only this year, after spreading cobwebs and pumpkins and fake hands around the house, we somehow forgot an important party of the party plan: the invitations. Whoops… less than a week away, snail mail was impossible. And Facebook/email invites don’t convey magnitude of the ghoulish party people have come to expect.
