I saw these elves in TJ Maxx and just had to adopt them. The poor semi creepy little things just looked so forlorn all alone in the Christmas decor. They’ve been up to some mischief, but I’ll warn you, it’s not family friendly. These elves are headed on a one way track to rehab. If… read more »

First, no one paid me to write this. I’m doing this because we had an awesome time and I want to share for my local readers. I can’t reiterate enough how much this was AWSOME (overall)! Before we even got there, we got our parking pass for the day, a letter with detailed instructions, and… read more »
I know it’s late, but over Christmas break, we loaded up the kids and took them to see the Hershey Sweet Lights. Aaron absolutely loved them this year. It was 45 minutes of his exclaiming over every single display. It was cute for the first 20 minutes, but honestly, the “Mom, mom, mom…..” got old… read more »

Since my birthday is 2 weeks before Christmas, this is the perfect time to put the tree up. This year, my birthday fell on… read more »
-Put the tree up. Thankfully it’s prelit. The kids can’t stop touching it, so I’m not bothering with ornaments. I love the ornaments from my grandma’s tree too much to see them smashed on the floor. -Spent most of the month catching up on doctor appointments and Aaron had a 2nd endoscopy. Merry Christmas, son…. read more »
I read a post on Telling Dad where he mentioned snowball cookies the other day, and it just brought back a flood of Christmas memories. I LOVE those cookies. I’ve been looking for YEARS to try and find a recipe for them. No one in my family made them, but we always had some given… read more »
During December, do you feel obligated to listen to music related to the respective holiday you celebrate, or do you listen to your regular rotation? I was on the Zune marketplace yesterday getting my Christmas playlist going. I realized when I was done that I totally rejected tradition. I downloaded a couple Brian Setzer Orchestra… read more »
