I love showing off my photos from vacation with my friends and family after we’re home.  And I can easily create a photo book of all our favorite memories by using the Nero Kwik Media software.

In honor of Guinness World Records Day, Thursday, November 17th, here are a couple of record-breaking ideas that are easy to do at home, and may even get you in the book!

For the past couple of years I have chosen to go with photo greeting cards to send to family and friends at Christmas.

This year I had the privilege of ordering some from MyPublisher.com.  MyPublisher offers a nice variety of paper and printing choices.

I got to throw a Saturday gathering which allowed me the opportunity to share the new Crunchmasters Multi-Grain Crackers.  What was really great is not just the moms ate them, but the kids ate them too. 

Long time readers of my blog will know that I love popcorn.  So when I had the chance to try out Orville Redenbacher’s Sea Salt & Vinegar popcorn I was truly excited (it’s the little things that keep me happy).

Christmas stockings are a fun tradition that I grew up with.  My siblings and I all had different but ‘matching’ stockings and they were hung on the fireplace mantle. 

I can’t believe it is November 1st!  It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and I’m starting my Christmas Gift Guide today!  From now until December 14th you’ll find gift ideas for everyone.  Some I’ve been sent to review, others are just things my family has that I love, and others will have giveaways too!  But to kick off the season how about a post with some Christmas Quotes?!

This structural bin has a dry erase panel on the front exterior, providing the flexibility in labeling for a person, category or the bin contents.  It has 2 hand holes for easy portability and the shape allows you stack the bins when they are not in use.  The bin measures 12” wide, 9.5” high and 12.5” in depth, and has an SRP of $15.99.

Just because of great sales at the store, coupons and the food samples I often get for my blog, we tend to have a good stock of shelf stable food in our home.  I try and keep a 24 case of water bottles on hand too.  We have lots of blankets, flashlights and batteries, but beyond that we haven’t made a ‘real’ emergency kit in case we lose power and/or heat.
