Yay for December--- the carols are playing, I have so many things to wrap and our weekends are packed.... Tis' the season, friends! Linking up with Anne for a little Currently in December.
Gifting--
all the LOL dolls in the world! LOL (see what I did there?!) My girls are obsessed with them! And more, but I'm not telling!
Baking--
not a whole lot as we are really trying to watch our sugar around here. Ho hum yawn! I will start soon though. I feel like I owe it to the kids!
Check out my little bakers from 4 years ago.
Singing--
what else?! Christmas carols all season long.... With Google Home, it's all day beginning with hymns in the early morning.
Mailing--
Christmas cards... I got ours last Friday from Minted and I'm sending them out soon... but this Canada Post strike will definitely affect my sending stuff out, so much so I gave my cousin who visited some to mail from the US.
Decorating-
everything is pretty decorated (though I keep switching it up) and I need to do a post soon! Here's last year's tree though....
And as for Prime--- like lots of us, I don't want to talk about what I got as most of my recipients read my blog but here are a few very random items.
I bought these to enter the smart plug world and so far I'm just doing some scheduling with it for Christmas lights but I intend to use to some more going forward for certain lamps in certain daughters' rooms that remain on at times!
My mom is obsessed with Ms Obama so I got her this as one of her presents (she opened it already)... I'm hoping she lends me at some point.
And as they're a couple just like my parents, I got Barack's book for my dad! Also, he expressed interest in wanting to read the autobiography.
Another parent at a (very sweltering swim meet) had one of these and I immediately got one for myself and my special friend (D)! No more pit stains for us.. ha!
My dad always loses his caps so I got this for him... At $4.99, it's a great stocking stuffer.
Kidizoom Smartwatch
For my active nephew who is obsessed with smart watches and selfies!
Indoor shoes for my tired feet when I'm hosting!
Yep, it's been a busy prime month for sure. Linking up with Tanya for Prime Purchases.
Have you been as busy as I've been on prime!?
OMG the girls are so little in those pictures! So cute! And can we talk about how cute and comfy those mules look?! Those are such a great idea for when you're hosting!
ReplyDeleteI have entered the plug world too- loving the automation!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up. I'm clicking over to check out those smart plugs!
ReplyDeleteWe were having google play Hanukkah songs yesterday! Looks like you've found some fun things on Amazon lately!
ReplyDeleteThose smart plugs are a great gift idea! I have gotten a lot of deals on the Deals and Steals from TV! They have had a lot of great stuff since I quit my Amazon Prime. I had to drop out once they wanted $100plus a year! UGH
ReplyDeleteI know, I feel like we should be better about sugar too - but the holidays are the exception, so we've done a little baking already :) And I always love seeing the Prime purchases - though my list would be crazy long right now with all of the gift ordering, ha!
ReplyDeleteI really need to be careful with how much I eat this season, but I will be making some cookies soon. That USB phone fan is genius by the way!
