Oh my is all I can say! After celebrating Christmas Day at our house with the kids and my parents, we packed everyone up for a 5 hour drive to visit my husband’s side of the family. Three days later, 2 more holiday gatherings, and very little sleep, we are home, but the holidays aren’t […]
NORAD’s Santa Tracker got a bit of an update this year! The biggest update was the addition of the village where kids can go play games - perfect for whiling away the time waiting for the man in the red suit to arrive.
Check out the Santa tracker to see where Santa is at now and […]
One of my favorite things to do before Christmas is to spend an evening driving around the city looking at all the Christmas light displays. Too bad the Holdman’s don’t live in our area - I’d love to see their display in real life. In the mean time, I will just have to settle for […]

So this year when […]
The other day I shared my daughter’s Christmas list with you and to show you just how different these two characters are, I figured I would share my son’s list too.
My daughter’s list was a mile long and full of items ranging from really inexpensive to moderately expensive. My son, however, wants just a few […]
Each year we ask our kids to write out their Christmas wish list - just to give us some ideas as to what to get them and so I am prepared when aunts and uncles ask, and Grandma, too. My 9 year old daughter got her list ready for me last night and I […]
After spending the last two days on the road, I’m happy to be able to sleep in my own bed tonight. I don’t know how kids manage to sleep in the car because I certainly can’t do it. I am able to manage about 15 minutes and then I’m wide awake. Have to admit, that […]
