Christmas Shopping with #JCPLastMinute

I hate last minute Christmas shopping. But does that stop me from doing it? Not usually. It doesn't matter how carefully I plan. I start buying Christmas gifts over the summer forming nice stockpiles in the dark depths of my closet. Then, some how, in the midst of Christmas parades, baking, and sending the annual family photo card designing, I forget about them.

Or I realize that I forgot about someone on my list. A year or two ago it was my dad. Christmas day didn't go well for him and I've always felt bad about that. Not this year. His gift is going to be great! I planned ahead and thought carefully about what to get him and how to get it.

Of course, my laser focus on him meant someone else got neglected. They read this blog so I can't tell you what I bought them, but I'm just glad I don't live too far from the mall!

Because we only buy gifts for those closest to us, I can't confess here what last minute gifts I've bought... don't want anyone knowing it took me until today to figure their gift out! But I can tell you I am very excited about the new Isotoner Touchscreen Compatible Gloves. With all the people in my family buying iPads and smart phones, these make perfect sense. And if I had a to buy a gift for a co-worker, I'd probably go for these since at about $20 they fit most office gift giving guidelines.

If you are like me and have some last minute gifts to pick up, I have some good news for you. For the next 2 days (Friday & Saturday) they will open at 7 am! There's no excuse to not get what you are looking for if you wake up bright and early. JCPenney will be open until midnight on Friday and 6 PM on Saturday.

And since I know my girls will be up at 6 am tomorrow... I know where I'll be at 7 am!

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t

Note to Self

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti

Yoplait Kids

This giveaway is now closed. The winner has been contacted. My baby girl LOVES yogurt. I try to give her some every morning to go with her fruit and cheerios. I started out buying the Stonyfield Farms yogurt because I wanted to avoid a ton of extra sugar. I have been slowly trying to phase high fructose corn syrup out of our diets and would like to keep it out of Charlotte's from the very beginning. Honestly, I just bought the Stonyfield because I assumed it was the healthiest choice. However, when I was offered a chance to try Yoplait Kids yogurt for free, my frugal self just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I found out that Yoplait Kids uses no artificial sweeteners or flavors, plus it has "25% less sugar than the leading kid's yogurt." (I wasn't able to verify that statement, but it came with the marketing materials for the prize pack.) This morning, Charlotte tried the Banana Yoplait Kids yogurt and really liked it. She even let me feed her almost the ent
