Starbucks Cocoa & Christmas Music

By -
I'm so glad it's Friday. I think most people like Fridays because it's a break from their jobs. But being a mom is a job and I like to have some family time (and a break). I'm still trying to convince my husband to take Monday off too.
For now these are a few things getting me through my day....

Starbucks Peppermint Cocoa, Peppermint Star Peeps and Rosanna's 12 Days of Christmas Mug

Box of beautiful Rosanna Mugs! 

I love anything Rosanna makes and I've been collecting her dish sets for awhile now. By far my favorite set by Rosanna is the 12 Days of Christmas. They are so cute and whimsical! Don't be jealous but a few years ago Macy's had the appetizer plates on CLEARANCE for about $30 a set!! Needless to say I picked up a few!


One other thing to make my day Merry & Bright is a Christmas playlist I created on Playlist.com
A mix-up of old and new, classic and non-traditional songs. I pretty much have this one on play the whole day long.
(And if you are a Pandora fanatic, She & Him Holiday Station is by far the best one out there!)

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
