December 6, 2010 by

Working on a budget this year for Christmas?  Have some stuff to buy for folks that are special to you, but don’t want to break the bank doing it?

I’ve got a few cute ideas here, a lot of them center around eating.  Not sure what that says, but loving on these afforable options to show those special people you care this holiday season.

  1. Cheese Tray with Cutter – cute thing about this is that nifty little cutter.  All in one, perfectness.
  2. Wine Chiller – perfect for entertaining or a night alone!
  3. Beer Glasses – what dude doesn’t a set of beer glasses made from recycled windshields?
  4. Condiment Dish with Stand – everything about this is so cute.

Movies for the Season

November 29, 2010 by

These are movies I try not to miss during the holidays…first choice being A Christmas Story.  Though I have several parts of this movie that I find very memorable, for some reason I always think about the dogs coming in and ripping apart that turkey which leads to them eating Christmas dinner at the Chinese restaurant.

What is your favorite holiday movie and why?

  1. Amazon, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
  2. Amazon, A Christmas Story
  3. Amazon, It’s a Wonderful Life
  4. Amazon, Elf

Totally Awesome Cleaning Product

November 11, 2010 by

No seriously, the name of this product is Awesome, and it couldn’t be a more fitting name! My Aunt discovered this product at her local dollar store and swore by it…so when I encountered a tough stain on my carpet, I decided to try it out…I was shocked at how quickly it worked! And this isn’t just for carpet, it’s an all-purpose cleaner that I’ve used on clothes (ink spots in particular) and to get a grease stain off the floor of our garage!

This product is a MUST have for sure.

Well, Hello Strangers

November 1, 2010 by

Ready or not… Im BACK! Back to the ole’ Tipsy grind. And I’d like to celebrate my return with two things:

A. This adorable picture of my sweet AJ.

B. This list of things that kept me sane/ allowed me to survive the last 4 weeks.

  1. Target, Full Sling Nursing Tank with Lace– These are like god’s gift to a nursing mom. Perfect thickness for extra support for the gals, long for us long bodied individuals and pop on a jacket or cardi and you don’t look quite like the frump you may feel like.
  2. Old Navy, Wide Leg Active Pants – I wore these home from the hospital, wear them as PJs at night and what the hay! Sometimes I keep them on all day long… I do have a newborn; I think I’m allowed.
  3. Amazon, Fisher Price I Glide Cradle and Swing– My lil gent loves this thing and will chill happily while mommy fixes dinner, does laundry or cat naps. Fisher Price, I can never thank you enough.
  4. Kohls, Carter’s Body Suits – My child is long and skinny and when he was swimming in all the newborn clothes we had, these babies were a life saver and fit him like a glove.
  5. Amazon, My Little Lamb Infant Seat– This goes anywhere I go and need a free set of hands. Like the bathroom, for instance. The vibrations and music set my little angel straight into slumber in most cases and allow mom to get a quick bathroom break or shower in. Plus, it’s so very soft and cozy. I wish they made one in my size.
  6. Amazon, Maxwell House International Cafe’ Suisse Mocha– I do not ever drink coffee or coffee related drinks. EVER. My mother brought this over to my house for her own personal enjoyment when she comes to visit the baby since I’m a coffee-less house. I tried it once and I’ve been like a crack addict over this stuff ever since. Good lawdy, I’m hooked.
