December's End

Sorry for my laziness!  I have not had any time for fun projects or posts, with winter break for Tristan and working  I have been very busy with a lot of boring stuff.  We had a little bout of illness for Levi , *note to all* that stomach junk going around is wicked stuff.  I have a lot of ideas rolling around in my brain but not many projects in the works at the moment.  November-January is such a slow and lazy time for me....no gardens to plan or plant, too cold for painting projects to be done outside, it's dark and all I want to do is snuggle under a blanket and drink coffee and watch movies.  We have been having a great time with our Wii - Tristan is an addict for sure.  I have been desperately searching for a full time job that pays decent- ha! me and the rest of the world right?  Just a suggestion for those new moms out there that want to be a full time homemaker:  think long and hard about how long you want to be out of the work force because the longer you are out the harder it is to get back in.  Hope you are having a great winter season and I'll see you on the flip side.  Happy Blogging!

I am so happy and comfy today because I just got my new Bear Paw slippers delivered today!  I was so excited to get a great deal on them via HauteLook (http://www.hautelook.com/short/1FV0p) for $25!  I know I should have posted this deal sooner.  I love getting good deals on great products!  I also love finding awesome new sites to shop on!  I would say this is a win win situation!  Wahoo!!!  Hope you are having a wonderful winter!  Chao!

Family Gaming

So, I have been wanting to get the family a Wii pretty much since they came out but just didn't really want to spend the $$ on one.  But after playing on friend's and family's, Tristan had really wanted one.  And well, I really wanted one so last week I bit the bullet and went for it.  So excited they have a black console now because it just matches better than the white and all of you who know me, that is essential.  And after finding out you can download past Nintendo system games, well, I was over the moon.  Classic Mario Bros.?  Yes, please.  Bubble Bobble?  Oh, yeah!  Zelda (the original)?  Are you kidding?!  YES!!!  And of course the Wii Mario Kart for the boys.  They were very surprised and very excited.  Levi of course is a bit young for most of the games but he loves watching Tristan play the Toy Story 3 game like it's a movie.  I can't wait to get Wii Sports and maybe a fitness games for the extra pounds I've added.  And also Netflix streaming.  And they got their gift just in time for the weekend of sickness we had (ICK!)  All in all it's a great buy and although I shuddered a bit at the cost it was well worth it.  Now onto saving for that hot tub I've been wanting.
