Let it snow organic chocolate and peanut butter
I haven't yet tasted the Organic Dark Chocolate Snowmen from Sjaak's, but I'm really hoping they are as good as I hear they are because they look like such a fun last minute holiday gift. Especially for a vegan on your list. But I'd imagine any kid, or kid at heart,...
Scrapbook masterpieces, no skills required
Look, we've discussed my SIS (Scrapbook Impairment Syndrome) in the past. I'm okay with it. There are tools available for me to do pretty things with my pictures in other ways.But if I want a genuine photos-affixed-to-beautiful-backgrounds, scrapbook binder full of...
A trip around the world this Christmas for $19.99? Sign me up.
I don't do much overseas traveling. Okay, none, really. And I can't even blame my kids, since I barely did it before they were born, either. A passionate desire for a reduced carbon footprint or sheer laziness? I'll let you decide. But, I have to admit, my...
The kids’ pajamas to wake up to Christmas morning – and every morning after that.
I know friends who have a holiday tradition of giving the kids a new pair of pajamas every Christmas Eve. It makes for fantastic photo ops on Christmas morning -- but then I visit in the spring and those poor kids are still walking around in candy cane stripes with...

Maternity Spanx! At last, at last!
I can say, in all honestly, that there have been times when I would not have gone out out in public had I not been wearing my Spanx. That has everything to do with the way Spanx just makes everything feel so supported, both in the lift-and-smooth kind of way and in...

A few days ago we told you about our friend and fellow blogger, Anissa Mayhew, who suffered a severe stroke in late November. We are so pleased that today is Shop For Anissa Day in which more than 60 businesses have agreed to donate a portion of today's sales to the...
Lovely gift boxes that take the ugh out of gift wrapping.
I am beyond grateful for all the pretty boxes and gift bags out there because I am 1. Totally spazzy with wrapping paper (seriously, it's sad) and 2. Totally impatient with long gift wrap lines at department stores. Let's also add 3. Totally annoyed with the $5 gift...
The perfect little gift for the tween who has everything. (And don’t they all?)
Got a tween girl on your list this year? I don't, I confess. But if I did, I totally know what I'd get her. (See, isn't that always the way? Now if only I could trade this great tween gift idea with someone who knows the perfect thing for a 62-year-old man, my holiday...
