With just a few days left in 2011, it’s beyond time to make plans for the big night. I’m always coming at it last minute, too caught up in the Christmas season to plan ahead for the new year. Whether you’re partying at home or plannin…
There are only 363 days until Christmas—it’s time to stockup on wrapping paper, greeting cards and stocking stuffers. Of course, I’m only partly kidding.

I stopped by Target yesterday, to take a quick look at the Halloween clearance—50% off for now, expected to move to 75% sometime this weekend. I don’t need more seasonal decorations. I’m not buying costumes, now that my girls have opinions of their own. And, I was determined to steer clear of the candy aisle. [...]
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I hadn’t given the food a 2nd thought this year. Thank goodness I’ve partnered with Foodily—they’re on top of it, for sure! It’s a family affair at around here. We’ve never had much luck with sitters (although the hubby’s parents offered babysit tonight—hooray for date night!) and rather than be [...]
