The Gift Exchange

This week, as I flipped my calendar open to November, a familiar sense of panic stole over me.

GiftTree.com sells the greatest cookies that you ever had the melt-in-your-mouth pleasure to eat! I like to send these to my Dad because, well, he’s an old man and old men just like to eat. My dad is retired and my mother still works. If my mother were home all day, dad would have to hide [...]

As a child one of my favorite things to do was play dress up. Lets be honest – It is still one of my favorite things. I love a good costume party like a little blue monster loves cookies. Growing up in the Northwest our costumes for Trick or Treating had to be rain proof. [...]

I have some sisters who are hard to buy for.  I like buy them something that they would not normally buy for themselves, but I don’t really know what that would be. The Toast of California was a big hit with the sister who received it for Christmas last year.  She lives in California and [...]

As a fairly new Mom, I try to come up with exciting traditions and projects to do with my 3 year old daughter. When she gets older, I want her to remember all those fun times she had with me, and to really appreciate the little things we do together. Spring is finally here, and [...]
