Our Trip to See Santa

Yesterday my husband had the day off and we had our daughter's one year portraits and holiday family portraits done. Amidst all this, since AJ was in such a good mood, we decided that we'd head over to the mall to visit with Santa Claus.

The big jolly guy was happy to see AJ, but the feeling was not mutual! Upon sitting her upon his knee, she began to scream in fear. Not cry, just freak out and flail about.

Santa's helpers were kind enough to whip out a reindeer looking ottoman for AJ to  sit on cling to in front of Santa.

Alas, AJ's 2010 trip to see Santa:

Sponsor Spotlight: BabyLegs! {Review & Giveaway}

Image
GIVEAWAY CLOSED

By now you’ve probably seen them – those cozy little leg warmers that make those fat little baby thighs cuter than you thought they could ever possibly be. In dozens of styles, colors and themes, BabyLegs are quickly becoming essential clothing items for babies and toddlers, and it’s not hard to see why!



I was over the moon when I teamed up with BabyLegs for the Blogtastic Extravaganza this coming January (you’ll have to come back then to see what they have in store for us!) I was even more excited though to learn that a package was on its way for my review, along with a Giveaway Grab Bag for one lucky Holly at Nap Time reader! You don’t want to miss this one! … and don’t tell anyone, but I bumped elbows with Santa the other day and he told me that BabyLegs are in high demand for stocking stuffers this year. Here’s your chance to help the jolly guy out.

Giveaway: $35 to CSN Stores

Image
CLOSED

By now you've probably heard of CSN Stores. They have 200+ sites that sell the largest selection of items for most home and office goods. Chances are, if you need something for your home, that you can find it online at CSN Stores - and for a good price too.

I first learned of CSN Stores when a friend of mine mentioned buying an end table for her living room from the CSN Store, AllCoffeeTables.com.  The selection is absolutely incredible. (I don't know if you remember, but I mentioned a couple months ago that my husband and I are in need of real end tables. My current nightstand is a big plastic storage bin with a decorative quilt thrown over it!!) Now to just decide which ones I like the best.  


Win! I was thrilled when CSN Stores offered to do a giveaway with me for a $35 gift code to any of their 200+ sites! With the holidays just around the corner, you can't go wrong with that! What would you use the $35 to buy?

Funny & Creative Elf on the Shelf Ideas

Image
Wow! In the last year the Elf on the Shelf's popularity has sky-rocketed across the US. Santa is sending out elves left and right to keep an eye after all the little boys and girls and make sure they are good this holiday season.

We were so pleased to give away an Elf on the Shelf to a lucky Holly at Nap Time reader earlier this holiday season. I really wish that I had 400+ elves to give away to all those who entered, but if you don't already have an elf, I can assure you that the $30 is a great investment. To learn more about Elf on the Shelf, click here.

My daughter is only two years old, and this is our first year with our Elf, Sam, so his hiding spots and antics are pretty obvious and don't really tell much of a story. My friends with older kids, however, are getting pretty creative, and moms all over are sharing their ideas on Pinterest, which begs the question: Is Elf on the Shelf more fun for children or parents?

I'll leave that up for you to decide. Some of t…
