Christmas Traditions

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Where has this year gone? Only 11 days before Christmas. Seems as we get older, time goes faster. This time of the year is very special to me. I love watching my two daughters get so excited anticipating Santa’s arrival. Each year, just after Thanksgiving, Santa send two helper elves (Elf on the Shelf) to our house to report back to him on how well our girls are behaving. Each night, they leave and come back in the morning to a new spot in the house. Every morning the girls get up excited to find where their “elf” is sitting when he returned from reporting to Santa at the North Pole. Having the elves around really helps to get them up and moving to get ready for school. Someone needs to invent an “Elf on the Shelf” for the rest of the year!

Have a great weekend,

Start Christmas Shopping!

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

I love this time of year. Watching the leaves change colors, taking my kids to pick out mums and pumpkins, which of course, they have to try and pick up every single pumpkin in the patch. If they had their way, my whole front yard would be filled with the pumpkins. They would have to carve one every single night. But the one thing I really enjoy is decorating my house for fall and Christmas. If you enjoy doing this, you can’t miss our warehouse sale. You will find great holiday and everyday products that are great for decorating. It’s easy to fill your cart up with the discounts you receive! Treat yourself, or start your Christmas shopping. Don’t miss out! Mark your calendar for November 3rd through the 5th.

Thanks,
Kelli

Colors, Costumes, and Close-Outs!

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

It’s funny how we all dream of the warm sunshine of summer, as we huddle around a crackling fire in mid-January.  And then, before we know it the warm weather of summer has come and gone.

The late change of season is a time that I love here in Ohio.  The milder temperatures leading toward the beautiful color changes of the trees, as the fall holidays are approaching. (more…)

Can It Be August Already?

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

I cannot believe this is the last weekend of the month.  I am not ready for August to begin.

It seems like it took so long for summer  to arrive and now it’s time for all the fall practices to start back up.  Not to mention the first day of school is in August.

Magical Vacation!

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Kylie & Kassidy at the Magic KingdomLast month my husband and I surprised our two girls, Kassidy-4 and Kylie-5, with a trip to Disneyland!

It had been a secret we had been holding since December.   They knew we were going on vacation, but had no idea where until we arrived at the airport.  That’s when we told them we were going to Disneyland.

Kylie just stood there staring at us and Kassidy repeatedly said “no way,” and was in denial.

The looks on their faces were priceless.   It wasn’t the made for TV expression we were hoping for but it was still funny to watch them.

Tricks and Treats with My Sweets!

"Trick or Treat My Sweet" Monster - 106-83186It’s funny how we all dream of the warm sunshine of summer, as we huddle around a crackling fire in mid-January. And then, before we know it, the warm weather of summer has come and gone.

The late change of season is a time that I love here in Ohio. The milder temperatures leading toward the beautiful color changes of the trees, as the fall holidays are approaching.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. With my two young daughters, it’s fun to see their excitement as they try to decide if they want to be the good princess or the wicked witch for trick-or-treating this year. My kids challenge me each year to figure out how we are going to get the biggest pumpkin from the patch home in one piece.
