Santa...I know him!

I had big plans to take the girls to go see Santa at the very beginning of December.  The past two years I've failed at going early, and we end up having to wait on line forever.  Not something I'm interested in repeating.

But time slipped away, and I started to get nervous last week.  I really wanted to just get it over with!  So finally Thursday afternoon we decided to bite the bullet and make it happen.  AP had told me about Santa FastPasses they have in our area at some of the malls now {no I'm not kidding} so we grabbed one of those, put some cute shirts on the girls, and headed out.

I was nervous because the past two years the girls are excited to see Santa, until they actually get up close to him.  Then they freak and Skip and I end up jumping into the picture.  This year I was hoping I could get one with just them.

We must have chose the perfect time to go, because there was only one person ahead of us on line...we didn't even need the Fast Pass. Once it was our turn, the girls ran right up to him and jumped on his lap.  They happily told him all the things they wanted for Christmas and that they had been very good.  They smiled when it was time to take the picture and we practically had to drag them off him at the end.  It was perfect!

I was so happy to finally have a great Santa experience!  A little planning and a lot of luck can go a long way!!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
