I’m Thankful For… Day 12

A nice, frothy mug of hot chocolate at the end of the day. What a great way to relax :)

Box Tops For Education


I love buying General Mills brand items for a few reasons.

#1 – They are great about providing coupons for their products.
#2 – They have the Box Tops For Education program.

If you have school age children, please make sure you are clipping these box tops. It’s free money for their school. If you don’t have school age children, clip them anyway and give them to a child you know! (If anyone out there is willing to share, let me know :) )

Here are two more great ways to earn money for your school. When you shop online in their marketplace, a percentage of your purchase will be donated to your school when you shop at over 70 participating stores. These are stores you may shop at any way. With the holidays quickly approaching, why not get what you need and help out a great cause at the same time? Through the Reading Room, you can shop online at Barnes & Noble and up to 6% of your purchase goes back to your school.

Kailani at An Island Life is having a great giveaway right now. She’s giving away a $50 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble for one lucky winner courtesy of Boxtops for Education! Head over to her site for details on how you can enter to win.

I’m Thankful For… Day 11

I’m thankful for hugs. Especially hugs that include little, chubby, sticky fingers that wrap around the back of my neck or pat me on the shoulder. Nothing beats a sincere hug from a child.

Giveaway Results!

I only had 2 people respond to my first giveaway… So instead of drawing one name, I’ve decided to do a custom holiday card for both of them!

Congrats to Tiffany at Snapshots of Life and Louise at Momstart! Ladies, check your emails for more details.

Stay tuned for more giveaways coming in the near future!

Thoughts About Stalls

Yesterday I noticed I always go into the same stall in a public restroom. Always. Why? I don’t know. After I started thinking about it, I felt like I was in the Battle of Wits from The Princess Bride. (What a great movie!)

Enter Cammi’s Brain -
“If everyone else thinks the first stall is most clean, they will go into the first stall and I should clearly go into the second. However, a clever woman would think of this and go into the second stall rather than the first, so I should clearly go into the last stall. But if the most clever suspected that I would also assume they would go into the last, I clearly can’t choose the last stall and must go into the first! ….”

After curiously Googling “Most Popular Bathroom Stall”, I came across a few articles that I wish I hadn’t… I also came across this little gem – How To Turn A Public Bathroom Stall Into Your Own Private Bathroom Stall. Sorry, Author Of This Crazy Article, but you can’t be serious! Can you?? Here are a few snippets from the article:

“Some bathrooms are going to be more conducive to setup your own private stall. For example, don’t try this at a bathroom in a biker bar.”

“Stop possible interruptions. First lock the door. Next you want to put up a printed sign that the stall is in use. This might seem a little out of the ordinary and may not always be practical. However, putting up a sign will keep others from knocking or trying to enter. Be warned that you may be mocked for this, or it may even cause others to purposefully bother you. So use the sign at your own discretion.”

Hilarious.

I’m Thankful For… Day 10

I’m thankful for music! I love it all – happy, sad, slow, fast, hip hop, classical, country, rock. I love the way a great song can change your mood or remind you of a forgotten memory. I don’t go a day without it! :)

Musical Monday – NKOTB with Neyo – Single

I’m totally back on the New Kids On The Block bandwagon…. I really like their new album! If you haven’t already listened to it, check it out!

I’m Thankful For… Day 9

I’m thankful I have 3 beautiful, happy, healthy children. Even when they are all screaming at the same time! Yikes!

I’m Thankful For… Day 8

DVR’s! Seriously, could we ever watch TV shows we wanted if it weren’t for DVRs? What in the world did people do before they could pause and record at the touch of a button on the remote….

Melting Marshmallow Creme Body Souffle??

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is getting all of my catalogs. I got my Sephora catalog today – hooray! I love Sephora. Doesn’t it make you feel like you can cake on the red/gold glittery eye shadow and lip stick and look as good as the models?? Ha! They should have a disclaimer on each picture that says DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.


One of the new items is the Philosophy Warm By The Fire set. It comes with a Double Rich Hot Cocoa Shampoo, a Melting Marshmallow Cream Body Soufflé and Gooey S’mores Lip Gloss. Hello?? I would be drinking that stuff out of the bottles in the shower!
