Christmas traditions gone wild!!!

Since I'm the over the top kind of girl, I tend to over do it on quite a few things...food, puppies, shoes, books...you get the picture. Problem is, I run out of space to hide place things.

So, Teen Boo and I decided to have a little party…you know, make a few ornaments, eat, listen to Christmas carols. Problem is, the list of things to make grew and grew. Before long, $40.00 later, we had about 15 types of ornaments to make.

It may end up being an all nighter. But, one plus to all of this is if by chance there’s a job layoff, I may be a shoe in for one of Santa’s elves.

Ho Ho Ho and all that jazz!!

Now had you been a tad closer I may well have popped round to join in. I love making decorations - well when I have time that is!

Hope it wasn't an all nighter and you are now tucked up snuggly in bed!

If you eat candy corn, there's no calories.

At least, that's what I think. I'm a sucker for Halloween candy the day after. In fact, as my daughters were about 8 and 9, I started a tradition of having a family harvest party the day after Halloween. They did have the opportunity to trick or treat but in October, it's so cold that it's hard to feel any joy walking from houses that are 1/2 acres apart. The family harvest party consisted of buying at least 15.00 worth of candy discounted by 70 to 85%. The girls never saw what kind I had bought but they knew that it was usually something good and quite a lot of it. Then, my then husband and I would hide the candy all over the living room, family room, and kitchen while the girls stayed in their room listening for us to yell, "Come and get it!" They would scramble all over the place, lifting up vases, looking under the table and on doorway ledges until we were certain that they had exhausted the hiding places. Then, they dump it all and we'd count and find...

Guest Posting on Things I've Learned Parent Style

I've been invited to be a guest blogger at Mandy's Life After 30 . The topic is on parenting and although I'm not an expert, I was flattered that Mandy asked if I'd talk a bit about my life as a mom. My daughters aren't little anymore but the memories of when they were little still live on. Also, don't let this be your only visit to Mandy's blog . She is one of the most adventurous, creative mommies I know. (Not to mention that her and Kirk are such a cute couple and their baby girl, Vivian is one little one that I totally would love to spend a day with. She's adorable! See you there!
