I am finally getting in the Christmas spirit at home! Although my house is still not decorated, nor is my tree up (I’m waiting for oldest Realistic son and his girlfriend to get home to help) it is starting to feel a little Christmas-ish.

I went to the Christmas parade last weekend and last night went to an amazing Christmas Carols, Cookies, and Cocoa celebration at my friend’s church.  It was so fun!! Although I can’t shouldn’t sing, it was nice to belt out my voice and know that others probably couldn’t hear me because the band was loud enough to drown me out.  



Mr. Realistic was hoping I would come home with no voice, but alas, I did not and was able to talk his ear off until he rolled over and fell asleep – ha, he thought it would stop me from talking, but it didn’t!

No – my tree & decorations may not be up, my shopping may not be started but it will get there and I shouldn’t worry about it…until December 24th – that is the “cut off” date right?!

I guess I’ll start shopping when Realistic sons should get me their lists.  It is so hard to buy for teenage boys.  I know the basics of what they want, but give me details so we don’t have to make returns – I dread returning items.  Just give me a picture, a link that I can buy online and you can have what your heart desires, but give it to me quick here boys!!

However, since I can’t get any shopping done and haven’t put up any decorations, I have changed directions and focused on my “parent gifts”. I always like to give my parents good gifts (yes, my own biological parents, but I’m talking about my school parents).  I remember getting gifts from my boys teachers, and I love and still use them (yes, 15 years later) to decorate the tree. It embarrasses them, but that is what mamas are for! I think, secretly, it makes their hearts skip a beat to see that mom still has them and they are still on the tree.

So, anywho, I am trying to find some amazing gifts this year….but, at a reasonable price.  Here are a few ideas I had… Well, really, that Pinterest had for me!

So what I find for sales this weekendtoday will determine the winner.  I can’t wait to get started! I always love a craft or two!!

Happy Sunday & congratulations to my winners!!

Holy Guacamole - 100 Followers!!

I am over the moon excited!!!  I can’t believe my little bloggy place has reached over 100 followers!  Honestly, I wasn’t sure anyone would follow me when I began this big adventure…and I am still surprised at how many of you do!


I really have to tell you I am amazed at the awesome and incredible friendships that I have made over the past few months.  The world really is smaller than I thought; while I love to read about the incredible teachers and things that are happening here in the United States I also enjoy reading blogs by my teaching friends overseas.  I would love to teach abroad someday…when my kids are grown, but before I have grandbabies!  Not that either of those are happening soon... So the fact that I have followers in Spain and Australia is simply incredible to me.

Over 45 incredible blogs and TpT sellers have donated their products to be a part of my AMAZING giveaway!!  I have had to break my giveaway into smaller bundles – what?!?! I never thought I would get to say that!!!  Yayyy me!! Anywho… you can enter for one or all of the bundles, simply follow the sellers TpT store, blog, Facebook, or Pinterest boards.  Yes – that means amazing & free ideas!!
