Easy Gift Giving

This is a great site for giving group gifts.

Say you want to give your boss a gift card from everyone in the office for Christmas.  All you have to do is go to www.fromeveryone.com, select your store of choice, and notify your co-workers to start contributing!  On a day selected by you, the card is wrapped up with the contributed amount loaded on it and shipped straight to your boss.  It doesn’t get much easier than that!

Cold and rainy? You’re covered.

I just read about these amazing(ly overpriced) boots, and I had to share.  Think Uggs + rain protection and you have MoovBoots!  They’re straight out of Australia, so naturally they have the sheepskin lining (must be an Australia thing), yet they’re galoshes too!  If I could justify spending $200 for these guys, they’d be in my closet today : )

Calling all culinaris

Well guys, I got all excited about my pumpkin cheesecake that I started looking around at different recipes, and now I’m in a bind.  I have two recipies here… one’s much more involved that the other… and I can’t decide between them.

Real Simple published this recipe in a recent article.  It’s very simple (hence, “real simple”) and was my initial pick for my Thanksgiving contribution.

Now I’ve found this Williams Sonoma cheesecake that seems to have a more spiced flavor (and the picture looks incredible), BUT it’s much more involved.

I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover (or a recipe by it’s picture) but this is a tough one!

Anyone have any suggestions?

The most wonderful time of the year

The Holidays are quickly approaching, and there is one is particular I’m most excited about… Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is by far my favorite Holiday, and this year I will be celebrating with my immediate family at our humble abode.  I can’t wait for our family to be together, the amazing spread of food, and, best yet, the Pumpkin Cheesecake and Nutty Peanut Butter Caramel Bars I’m going to be bringing (it’s not Thanksgiving without the sweets)!  So, until then, I’m just going to count down the days (16)!

Protect our freedoms.

This speech presented to the Liberty University graduating class just one week ago.  Rep. McEwen explained in simple terms why the upcoming presidential election is so important and why Christians need to vote to protect their freedoms.  Each and every American needs to hear this speech before they vote.

Watch.

The new “me”

Well, I’ve been working on branding myself (aka: my little business) for years now.  I have finally come up with a logo that I think works well.

What do you all think??

Happy October!

I love that the Fall weather is officially here!  Now that it’s October, I can start bringing out the Fall decor, the cold-weather clothes, and all those spiced sented things!  Why is it that the change of seasons brings such a feeling of new-beginnings and rejuvination?  Just when you feel like you need a change in your life, the seasons change and you’re ready to take on the world.  So, happy October!  I wish everyone the best as the Holiday season begins to approach. :)
