The “nest egg” is the goal of pretty much every adult. The idea of having a pool of money ready to pay for emergencies, major purchases (like down payments on homes), etc. Unfortunately while everybody wants one, not everybody is able to build one. Here are some of the things that you can do to make it easier for you to build a solid nest egg for your future.

I am tired of looking at my bedside table lamps. Back in 1994 when we got married, forest green and peach were really in as far as decorating colors go. Plus I had a calla lily theme running through my house. So when I went to get bedside lamps I swooned over a pair that were forest green…with calla lilies on them! That was fine 18 years ago, now…well both my husband and I decided that we when we move, we’re not even taking the bedside lamps with us, and are buying brand new ones.

If you hosted friends and family this season, Greased Lightning Multi-Purpose can help clean your home and kitchen and make it good as new again as before they all arrived!

Having no extended family where we live means that Christmas around here is pretty quiet.  Last night we went to church for Christmas Eve service and then we went to go see The Hobbit.  Christmas Day is usually just a time that we sit around and play games together, maybe watch a DVD.  But one thing we always do is have Waffles for Breakfast/Brunch and watch the Disney Christmas Parade.

Here’s the waffle recipe I used this morning.

There is a Light that never dims,
A Love that never fails,
A Hope that never ends

As I write this post, we’re just days away from Christmas. Have you finished all your food preparations for the big event? I just finished doing the last of my baking.

Armed with some coupons to buy some Challenge Butter at the store, some Good Cook bakeware and a huge assortment of holiday recipes to choose from on the Challenge Butter website, I took butter to the maximum and decided to make a traditional favorite around here; shortbread cookies. Of course if you know our family, it’s not a celebration without something Disney thrown into the mix, so we cut the cookies out
