Shopping woes
Did anyone else accidentally spend way too much money today?? Was anyone else tricked by all the ads??
Oh buyers remorse....curse you.
Back to the stores next week to return stuff...I hope.

p.s. Dear Clutter,
You are really getting in my way and I am afraid you will have to go. All of you. To the trash. I can't get to you right now, you know the holidays, but as of Jan. 2 (I need a day to recover from the holidays) you are out of here. Every last spare broken toy that my child insists is the greatest thing she has ever known. Gone.
Me
Any suggestions on how to de-clutter your toys without horrible drama and fits???

Gratitude Challenge Continues...
I am a few days behind, and to be honest I cannot remember what happened on those days. I will just have to forget those days instead of trying to remember all my blessings for those days.
Instead I will focus on today.

Shutterfly - 50 Free holiday cards
Did you hear that Shutterfly is giving away 50 free holiday cards if you blog about their great products?? My friend Emily A. put it on her blog and I decided to jump on that bandwagon. I love Shutterfly!
Every year I create a memory book on their website with my best pictures from the year. I also order their Christmas cards every year as well. So imagine my excitement when I found out that with only a little selling out on my blog I could get 50 Christmas cards. Free.
Last year I used Season Chic Noir I combined the birth announcement of Jack with my Christmas card for the ultimate holiday card.
It's so hard to decide which card I will use this year! (Because you see it is free, making it super awesome!)
I really like Believe, Family Frame and these cards below as well. How is one to choose??
