After Christmas Sales: Share Your Steals
I like to add one nice decorating item to our holiday stash every year after Christmas. I think sales were pretty great this year and a lot of retailers marked down Christmas decor early. The week before Christmas I noticed that Cracker Barrel already had marked down Christmas items 40 percent!
Today I ordered an LED [...]
Add The Snowman’s Song To Your Family Library
Although I am from the South I use the word precious sparingly. A wonderful new children’s book, “The Snowman’s Song: A Christmas Story,” however, definitely warrants the word precious and would be a great addition to your family holiday book collection. This book is sweet and has such an inspiring message.
The Snowman’s Song is a [...]

Launched two years ago by artist Fredericke [...]

BabyGanics Germinator Giveaway
BabyGanics wasn’t founded in some sterile lab. The company was founded by two dads who wanted safe, effective, natural products for their families, from household cleansers to hand soap. Products “that clean like crazy and are safe around babies: earth safe, people safe and picky mother-in-law safe.” BabyGanics makes safe, natural, and effective household cleaning [...]
