Personalized Baby Gifts for Christmas

There are only 38 shopping days remaining until Christmas.  Have you bought the new baby in the family his or her first doll or stuffed bear for their first Christmas? These are great keepsakes sold by Baby Stuff Gifts for only $15. They both measure 10" high, are machine washable (great for getting that spit-up off!) and baby safe. 

I also like the diaper covers.  They come personalized, of course, and have many designs to choose from - heart, cherry, daisy, ladybug, bunny, butterfly, baby carriage, pink bow, and even a patriotic design for baby's bottom. 

Then there are personalized wall tiles for the nursery walls and plates (dishwasher and food safe) for when they start solids.  Personally, I think the plates are so cute, I would display them! 

To make shopping for personalized baby gifts even better, Baby Stuff Gifts will give you a 10% off coupon code on your entire order if you "like" their Facebook page.  I am all about a great deal being a coupon fiend myself.  So, go check out their Facebook page and "like" it and then head over to the Baby Stuff Gifts online store and shop all these sweet, personalized gifts that make you (ok, make me) all soft and mushy feeling over babies.

I just love babies.  Love them.  I'm still waiting for that urge to go away to stop wanting to have more of them.  My husband bought me a puppy thinking that would take care of the urge - silly boy.  I am going to go shop at Baby Stuff Gifts for the new babies in the family and think about sweet little baby hands, soft skin and the good baby smells.

Apple Pie Spread for Thanksgiving

Four more school days until Thanksgiving break.  Is it weird of me that I actually LIKE my four kids home from school, partly because I don't have to turn on that annoying alarm clock!?!?

Anyways, this recipe came into my in box yesterday and it looked really good (and very easy - easy enough for me to do!) so I thought I'd share -

Otterbox Defender for iPhone 4S

I am patiently awaiting FedEx to come to my door today with my iPhone 4S and online shopping for an Otterbox Defender case for it (because I know it will get dropped - - several times).  The Defender cases work so well. My case for my iPhone 3 is yellow and black and has protected it from so many falls (with no damage done!).  I think I'm going for blue this next time!

Costume Express Coupons

Halloween is over but the need for costumes isn't - Santa costumes, Grinch costumes, and cute little baby Christmas costumes like the one above.  I should buy my husband the Grinch costume!

If you need a Santa costume for a party, or for Christmas Eve to visit the family, you can get costume express coupons here and then go shopping! Save some money and get what you need.

I am all about the coupons.  I won't buy a lot of things now without a costume - online or in the store.  Costumes are no exception.  If I can get a deal, I'm taking it!

Visitors

I have had 75,000 visitors to this blog!  That's pretty cool.  My stepfamily blog does even better - double the visitors.  I think people in blended families are looking for validation and support and it is nice to have somebody in the same situation as you are to feel like you're not alone in the massive struggles with stepchildren or an ex.  Oh the struggles with exes...ugh!

My husband's ex-girlfriend is sending him bills for their adult stepchild's birth control!  You would think after the first month or two of ignoring them, she'd stop.  Apparently she hasn't taken the hint yet.  Crazy!

Lingerie Business

I sometimes think about opening my own business.  In college, I had to create a business plan on a business that would interest me.  I chose a lingerie business to write a business plan about.  I received an "A" on that business plan!  Part of that may have been the male instructor but hey, an A is an A.

I couldn't take the risk now to open a business.  Being married with kids, it's not just my risk anymore. If I did, I would probably have to look into business loans with bad credit because we barely hang on sometimes in this economy. Everybody is struggling so much! I sure hope things get better soon.
