Name a star?

The radio this morning was advertising a company that for $54 you can name a star...I've heard of it before- but this morning it just seemed so silly... Seriously? You are paying someone to name a star? They don't own them! Am I the only one that thinks that is just so dumb?

Dear Santa

The kids had letters for Santa that I told them I would bring with me to work and make sure I got them to Santa. Here is Easton's... I love that he didn't even ask for anything, he just wrote him a note. :)

Shyler on the other hand knew EXACTLY what she wanted!

We saw Santa on Monday at the Mall, and Shyler asked for a Guitar and Easton a Nintendo DS w/ Mario... We'll see if in fact Santa can make it happen ;)wink

Found treasure

Found this in my laptop bag- I believe it was written at the beginning of school...Oh Shyler...

Brag time

So my sister in law is living her dream! She began writing books a few years ago and self published them. My favorite one, EDEN, has made something very exciting happen for her! See HERE!

Gifts for Everyone...kinda

These are my office gifts this year (above) at least for the ladies...I found the idea on Pinterest. If you haven't started Pinterest, you should :) The only change I would make next time is using Olive Oil instead of the Coconut Oil, because as soon as it cools, coconut oil takes a solid form, and so I had little bit of coconut oil that will need to be vigorously shaken. :( You can find the basic recipe HERE.

And these are giant Symphony Bars that I like to get for all the workers at our daycare each year. I made a label to wrap around each one. Simple & Yummy :)

Christmas is coming!!!!!!

Christmas is so very close! I think I am done shopping...but I love shopping, so I'm sure I'll grab some last minute items.

This year we decided to spend Christmas in Colorado at Cole's Grandparent's home in Mosca. Mosca is out in the middle of nowhere- the closest stores are 1/2 hour drive to Alamosa. I'm so excited to have a Christmas away from all the hustle and bustle that always happens at home. His parents are going too, so I'm looking forward to lots of late night card games, movies, cooking and eating, and just relaxing for days!

Day 3 Hair

We all know that it is not good to wash your hair every day. Whenever I straighten my hair (naturally i have dry frizzy/curly hair) I make sure I can wear it for about 3 days...but sometimes on Day 3, it's starting to look a bit greasy... So i FINALLY went and bought some Dry Shampoo. I bought this Beyond the Zone Rock On Dry Shampoo for about $8 at Sally's... I am LOVING it!!! For a tutorial on how to use dry shampoo, watch this!

Heaven looks like this

I found it while checking out at Walmart this morning....Could life GET any better?
