DOLLAR TREE TIK-TOK CLEANING SECRETS you NEED to know! (legit, you will actually use!)

Christmas Eve is a very special night in our house! Our Elf, Buddy, hitches a ride home with Father Christmas on his sleigh, so he leaves us a hamper to enjoy on his last evening – it is usually full of new PJ’s for everyone, reindeer food to sprinkle in the garden, a new movie for us to sit and watch before the kids go to bed and snacks to enjoy!

When I think of things that remind me of my family and traditions, the changing of the seasons from summer to fall is definitely a sweet one! The shift to the fall season excites all of senses and sends my memories reeling. Everyone has their stories, their traditions and these are the kinds of stories everyone should keep alive in creating a family or fall time legacy. Let all these beautiful experiences be shared with your family and friends and keep them alive!

I don’t understand why “national dog week” and “national singles week” are celebrated at the same time during the 3rd week of September. Is there some connection with being single and being a dog?

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday; unless you have to do all the cooking. The culinary responsibilities are even more labor intensive, costly and complicated when your holiday feast has many mouths to feed as is often the case when everyone decides to have their holiday meal at your place. It is not just deciding on a menu that has to take into account specific dietary needs such as accommodating those who may be allergic to certain foods or lactose intolerant, you also want to WOW your guests with a memorable feast that everyone will enjoy.

With the 4th of July right around the corner, you may wish to plan the party of the summer. You have everything mapped out in your mind about what you want, how you want to incorporate the holiday, where you want certain things placed in your backyard, and who you want to invite to this party. Why skimp out?
