Flower Shopping
My husband isn’t overly romantic, but he’s always known my favorite color, favorite flowers, favorite movie and favorite song. It’s hard to believe that we’ve spent nearly twenty of my birthdays together.
This Saturday it’s my 40th birthday and I know that he is going to want to buy me some flowers. I’m not big on receiving them, mostly because they die… so I think I’m going to direct him over to FlowerShopping.com since they have a selection of flowers under $40 + you can save 10%!
Loaded Potato Soup an eMeals Slow Cooker Classic Recipe
My family and friends are posting pictures on Facebook of snow and and cold temps, and while it’s just beginning to feel like Fall here (ha ha you all!), I know a lot of you are in the same boat (or maybe I should say the same igloo?!).
Well this is the season where our slow cookers get worked overtime, and we’ve got a delicious and easy recipe from eMeals to share with you:
Give with Purpose this Christmas Season – World Vision Giveaway
I don’t know how many of you have already started or finished your gift lists but I’m nearly done! I have a few things to pick up for my sister and her husband, but that’s it. You know though, the giving season quickly becomes busy and hectic and sometimes we forget why we celebrate Christmas. But planning in advance to keep your heart in the holidays makes it stay in the forefront. Here are some ideas to help you to do that:
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire | Giveaway
Who is as excited as I am about the upcoming release of Liongate’s THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE? It’s coming out THIS FRIDAY, November 22nd. #TickTock it’s only 3 days away! I’m a sad panda because I’m going to have to wait a bit to see it, since my parents are visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday, and are arriving on Thursday. I haven’t seen them in over a year and it’s not the type of movie they’re really into. But I digress… let’s talk more about Catching Fire shall we?!
#HeardItThru the Grapevine – Black Friday Shopping Preview at Grapevine Mills Mall
I got to tell you folks, one of the best things about living in a large metroplex is the shopping. Coming from a small city of about 150,000 people and moving to a metropolis of 6 million gives a new perspective on where and what you can buy!
Very close to our home here in North Texas is an awesome ‘outlet’ mall called Grapevine Mills. You may have heard of it because it’s a premier tourist destination for those that visit the area.
Protect Your Family From the Flu! #MC
Besides being on vacation, this year is the first time I’ve experienced fall like weather in mid-November. Growing up in Canada and then living in South Dakota, the flaky white stuff is flying furiously already at this time of the year. The thing is, it has put us in a mode of false security when it comes to the runny noses, sore throats, muffled coughs and of course-the dreaded flu.
Merry Christmas, From Your Friends at Best Buy
I love surprises…but I hate surprises. You know what I mean?!
I like to give people a general idea of what I’d appreciate for gifts so I make a list, and that way I’m surprised, but not surprised. Got it?!
I have at least a couple of people on my shopping list that I know I can pick up a bunch of things for them at Best Buy.

I am Thankful for Little Caesars and Value ~ Giveaway
My mom and dad are coming for Thanksgiving this year. They are arriving this Thursday and leaving on December 3rd. In the 14 years we’ve lived in the U.S. they’ve only come one other time at Thanksgiving, and this year my sister and her family are coming for Christmas too! The first time we’ve had family for Christmas! I don’t know, it might have something to do with the fact that they live in frigid Canada and now we live in Texas …
