Fireproof The Movie!

What a great movie!! It is definitely a movie that we will someday own. This is an awesome movie about relationships, that everyone should see! They bring in humor while also being quite serious. If you want to laugh and cry, this is the movie you are looking for. We felt that it was one of the best movies we have ever seen! Here is a clip from YouTube.

Lighting Fixtures

Bill and I have put many hours into our home this past year. We decided to start redoing many things, room by room. By replacing lighting fixtures, it seemed to make such a difference in the appearance of our space. There are a variety of new and stylish fixtures available today and we have enjoyed shopping and purchasing several. This single added touch can make a room appear modern and unique. It was a very inexpensive way to create an atmosphere we were looking for.

New Decor


This past year we have been making some changes through out our home. In our family room we have a corner with our big TV. It just seemed sorta bare. My daughter and I were talking it over and she suggested something she had seen done on HGTV. Well, of course I listened. I love HGTV. :) She talked of how they staggered shelves up in a corner and she really liked it. So I gave it a try. I think we'll keep it!

Got a Wish??

With Christmas almost here, we see people being more giving than ever. I was reminded of this as I came across a fun site, ceiva.com. I tried the Sit on Santa's Lap Experience and even uploaded my own picture. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was pretty cute! I don't want to give a lot away...but they have a unique way of using your picture to let you know about the great new product, Ceivashare Digital Photo Frame. It's pretty neat and definitely something I'd like for my own home sometime.

That's not all though. You can also enter a Got a Wish Sweeepstakes on this site. Each day of the contest (29 days), one person will be chosen to receive 500 dollars!! Isn't that great?? I know I'm not going to waste another minute...I'm going to submit my name today! How about you? If you'd like to learn more about the sweepstakes and how you can be a part of the Sit on Santa's Lap Experience, simply head over to their site and check it out. It's super easy and fun too. You can even share it with friends and family. Don't wait any longer, take a look and see what you think!

Christmas Lighting


How exciting! My son and his wife live in the south. They will be traveling home to the snow country soon, for Christmas! They decided to put up their Christmas decorations early so that they could enjoy them for a little while. Their son, Emry has not experienced all of the lights and beautiful decorations before. He recently turned one. He was quite intrigued by the brightness of the lights! It's going to be a great Christmas!

All Inclusive Vacation Packages

We have done our share of traveling, but haven't taken in one of the all inclusive vacation packages that are available out there. I was reading about one of the worlds most beautiful secluded white-sand beach areas, the Mexican Riviera Maya. The Karisma Hotels offer wonderful all inclusive deals to make your vacation unforgettable. These resorts take pride in their food and flavor. You will find them to be luxurious with the beach beds, beachside bar swings, designer custom built private havens. They will treat you like gold as you relax on a private stretch of beach. Click in and browse this great website and see for yourself.

Printer

Today we bought new ink cartridges for our printer. I have always wondered why each time we replace them we are prompted to print a test page or align the cartridges. I don't think we have a choice in the matter. It just does it!! To me it seems to be a waste of ink. It might be the brand of printer that we have, I am not sure. I just know that we were in need of a new cartridge and I'm glad we have it now. I need to print off my Christmas letters this week.
