As I was preparing my coffee this morning, I took out the milk carton and saw that the best before date was December 17th....that is only 5 weeks away, there are exactly 41 days left until Christmas!! I am so excited. Even though P only sorta kinda gets it this year, its such a fun time of year.
I have to say this year I feel a little ahead of the 8 ball, most of my Christmas shopping is done with a few straggler items to pick up. Believe it or not I even have a good chunk of them wrapped already as well!
I strongly believe in shopping online as much as possible. I hate going into stores at Christmas time, especially with kids. Its mayhem, people are rude, you can never find parking, kids are having meltdowns in every direction, it's just chaos. I usually only buy things from sites with free shipping, or great specials, I don't like the idea of having to pay 10 or more dollars extra for shipping to shop online. Another little secret is before you checkout at those online retailers Google the name of the store with coupon code ( ex: Old Navy coupon code) and I would say about 80% of the time you can come up with a decent coupon, just last week I saved 16$ on something I ordered.
This year I am also looking forward to making some of my own decorations, which I will gladly share with you all once I get it moving! I also plan on baking and volunteering with my oldest daughter, which is also something I will share with you guys during the next 5 weeks. We have some Christmas traditions both old and new and I cant wait to post them and see what you guys have as traditions as well!

Every One Needs Mom
When I first started this blog, it was for several reasons, I wanted to share product reviews with my fellow readers for products new and old to the market, to help you make educated purchases, I also wanted to share some of the deals I come across online and in-store for all of you to benefit from. But the main reason I started this blog was to document and share with my fellow readers this crazy thing called life. I know that after reading some of the blogs that I follow I sometimes feel comforted, educated and inspired. Simply reading about another mom or wife who is going through some of the things that I am going through both good and bad makes me feel a connection. So if I can reassure, connect, or even make somebody laugh out there in internet land I have succeeded! So please enjoy, feel free to leave me comments or even recommend a topic that you would like to hear and we will all have a great time here!
Don't Call it a comeback
Ok so I'm back....I think? No seriously, I am truly going to try to get back into blogging, I enjoyed it so much last year that I want to continue with it. So much has gone on this year and I really wish I would have had the time to share each step with you, but its never too late to start now! So be patient with me and I will try to post each day even if its just a little post just to check in with you guys I will do my very best!
