January's Cravebox is here!

I joined Cravebox in December and have been getting the neatest things!  This month, they had "GOOD FOR YOU" items!  Take a look-  I borrowed this pic from anther blog as mine was dug into with complete disregard for my picture taking.. he he he.  Anyway, this is an awesome opportunity!  Check it out from SheSpeaks!!!

We're getting better at this stamping than I expected.  Little Diva is by far better at it than her sister or I.  I guess you just have to have knack... or time to sit and practice endlessly, LOL!  Here are a few of their creations...  not too dramatic... yet!

Doing all this uhmm.. "nail art" has increased our polish collection by quite a bit!  I cannot stand the clutter so we decided to do something about it.  SO... to Amazon.com we go looking for some sort of polish organizer...  Brahaaahaaa.. have you ever priced that kind of stuff??  Its crazy!  No way am I paying $40 plus for something to hold a $2 bottle of polish.  So .. on to youtube, who didn't let me down.  I was able to go from this....

 to this... 

in only a few hours.  I don't know who came up with it, but I love it!!

Nail Stamping.... this will be interesting

For Christmas, my two Divas recevied the Konad Nail Stamping kit. After finding out you need SPECIAL POLISH, we decided to try to use our vast inventory that we already have with some minor tweaking. I've read you can add Xanthium Gum to thicken polish so that you can use it. "No, there was nothing saying you had to have thick or special polish when I bought it", LOL! So... we will experiment this weekend. Wish us luck!

Better late than never...

Do you get the December Cravebox? Its a real treat seeing what surprises are in store for you each month! Lots of goodies to try and share. I only got the lotionthe link showing all the goodies this time.. the family claimed the rest before I even had a chance to see what was inside! BUT.. what do you expect with OPI nail polish pens and a teenage Diva? Here's the link showing all the goodies The January box is shipping soon. Check back for a review and pics!

Counting down to the new show!!

New episode of Once Upon A Time comes this week! FINALLY! I can't believe how hooked I got so quickly! My youngest and I look forward to curling up together with a buttery bowl of popcorn!! This one will be Desperate Souls. Mr. Gold aka Rumpelstiltskin will have a secret revealed. Thats interesting....

Did you survive it?!?!

Christmas is over... can you believe it? Even with all the fussing and fretting, I still love it. My girl are so sad its over - but I tell them, if we had it every day.. it wouldn't be so special when we do have it.

The two days of cooking and three days of cleaning is well worth it.

What was your favorite gift? Mine was a "3-d" gift that my youngest gave me. It was a replica of our wedding. It was wonderful! She is so creative. I will cherish it forever!

Catching up on the new tv shows

Okay, I know.. I'm so BEHIND on the new fall line up's.. but hey.. I've got two kids a full-time job, Home and a husband that I adore.. so they get most of my attention. Other than grabbing a few minutes of my All Time Fav soap "General Hospital"... I don't get to see much TV other than the nightly news.

All that being said, I did have the forsight to DVR a few of the new shows that came out this year. I am TOTALLY hooked on Once Upon A Time. Its great! What a great new twist on our old favs! It's so hard to decide which of the characters are my favorites..I love them all!!

Take a look for yourself! here's a linky... go check it out!

Christmas Prep..... are you done?

... are we ever "really" done? I have one more thing to buy then I'm finished with the gifts I need to get, then of course, there will be the last minute things that I just have to get for the girls! Those are always the most fun. Then the real fun begins! The cleaning, cooking and then the family! Is there any more joy than being surrounded by all those you love? It makes all the work worth it to see their smiles and know they've enjoyed themselves

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Don't eat too much!

Kroger Truly Awesome Cookies....??

I tried these cookies I reviewed for a Bzz campaign.. I have to admit... I like Nestle's or homemade better.

New to blogging

This will be interesting...  I'm going to try to keep up with my two divas, EE and Syd.  Life with them is never dull.

A little about myself.  I'm a wife, daughter and mom who works full time and tries to find the funds and time to give my family all they need, want and enjoy... at the best possible price of course...  but when you have two girls like me.. that is always a challange!

My oldest started high school this year.  That has presented itself with a whole new life of adventures for us, but so far, it has been a great.

The youngest is still in elementary school.  Now she's one of the "older" kids so she thinks she's hot stuff!
