10 Holiday Survival Tips!

Waking up to snow this morning~reminded me that it is indeed winter! And~with winter comes the Holidays. If you are like me you start stressing out about everything that you have to do and it seems that you don't have time for yourself.



TwitterMoms and Tiny Prints have joined together with a blogging promotion to share tips about how to survive the holidays.
And~I have put together my 10 Holiday Survival Tips!
1~Start your holiday baking early.I like to mix up dough for cookies and then put them in the freezer.That way by the time it comes to start my baking I am one step ahead of the game!

2~Start picking stuff up for your dinner that will keep until then.can goods,cake mixes and more that is one sale will be fine until then.As there have been many sales on non~perishable items already!

3~As you buy your Christmas presents wrap them and put them away until the tree goes up.Once the tree goes up~add the presents and Enjoy!!

4~Make a budget and STICK to it~as I know how we can all get carried away with all the sales that are going on.But does that little one really need 4 baby dolls??

5~Take time for yourself.Maybe go out to lunch with your girlfriend or have a manicure. As you need to make sure that you are taking care of YOU!

6~Shop the internet.As many times you will find great deals online and around the holidays shipping is free! You can also look for discount coupons online too.


7~Start thinking about your holiday cards now.And this year I am going to order from Tiny Prints as they have so many beautiful holiday cards to choose from! I'm going to have a hard time choosing for sure!


8~Get all your Christmas things out now and start looking thru all of it to make sure that everything is complete and works.As I get so mad when I bring all the stuff up and I am ready to decorate and my favorite tree top is broke!{Yup~happened last year to me}

9~Involve the kids as much as you can.My grandchildren love to come over and help me decorate the house and wrap presents. We just turn on some Christmas music and away we go!

10~Enjoy your time with family and friends.And~  remember it's not how big the present or how much you spent.It is getting together to celebrate the most beautiful time of the year with each other!

PAAS Easter Egg Dye and Heinz Vinegar Review

Easter is early this year,so we decided to dye eggs last night. You know that the Easter Bunny has got to get the baskets ready so we need to help with the coloring.{So~I am told by my grandson} We were super excited as this year we were sent some new PAAS Easter egg dyes to try.       This year, PAAS has seven new egg decorating kits, including Volcano Eggsplosion, a kit that uses melted crayon shavings to provide instant color and Touch of Velvet, a kit that uses double stick adhesives and flocking powder to create fun, fuzzy shapes on your Easter creations! For the brightest, most vivid colors, add one tablet and three tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar to a PAAS Color Cup or a one-cup container. Once the tablet has dissolved, add ½ cup water and stir gently.      According to the PAAS  more than 180 million eggs a year are dyed with PAAS dye!   Also, to help keep hard-cooked eggs from cracking, add two tablespoons of Heinz Distilled W

Summer is in full swing~so chances are you are spending more time outdoors. Not only should you apply sunscreen but also make sure that your lips are protected. As there is nothing worse then dry~cracked lips. I have been using Carmex for as long as I can remember. I was so excited to see a package arrive from them! Carmex has a new flavor~Pomegranate. This new scent is awesome~I love it! Not too sweet and it makes my lips feel so smooth just like the others! Along with the Pomegranate flavor, they also sent me all their other flavors that I already use~lime twist~ cherry~original~vanilla and strawberry.
