* WOW. December is here. I’m still in the midst of decorating…wish I could say it was all beautiful and festive around here, but it’s not yet. How are you coming?
*we have pulled out the holiday cups: they are just random mugs from the dollar store or Goodwill. Each kid chooses one and that is their cup for the month. It helps keep dishes down in a very busy month adds a little cheer to milk at lunch.
I thought these straws from the dollar tree were fun & festive too!
* It’s coming! Mark your calendars: our 3rd annual Favorite Things party will be on Friday, December 16! Anyone can link up~I always love seeing your favorites and I have some fabulous guest bloggers lined up to share their favorites as well.
* The kitchen is finished and it’s supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny today, which doesn’t do much for Christmas spirit, but is good for taking pictures! Here’s hoping…
*I need to finish wrapping books.
* I posted some deals here today.
* you can still enter for the $100 cooking.com giftcard here or the HP Touchsmart 320 Giveaway here.
Have a wonderful, productive, festive weekend…
I got the same straws at Dollar Tree yesterday - I thought they were adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about your family traditions, Melissa. It encourages me to start my own! Thanks for inspiring me! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am exactly where you're at...wish I was finished decorating...my goal is Sunday night! But one project is leading into other projects. Need to focus! Love your blog!

I love that you added that your mugs are from the dollar store and Goodwill. I love finding treasures for low prices! Just goes to show that starting traditions doesn't have to cost a lot, and the kids will remember and cherish those memories when they're older!
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa, I wanted to thank you so much for the American Express tip last week. We got $25 worth of free gas. How cool is that?

Melissa, I have been thinking about Your Favorite Things and wasn't sure you were going to do it this year! So glad you are, I look forward to it each year. Dollar Tree just opened up here - guess I need to go and see if I can find those straws! Thanks!! :)
