Tis the Season

I don’t know about you- but I can’t believe that the first day of December is upon us. That means one thing- Christmas! Deck the halls and fa-la-la-la-laaa and all that fun stuff.

We are keeping things simple in terms of gift giving, but one thing is for sure- I’ll definitely be shopping local where I can, and looking for online coupon codes before I buy anything online. I know- I say it every single year, but I can’t tell you how much I’ve saved over the years, simply by doing a quick Google search before ordering online.

Not just during the Christmas season, but ALL the time. It definitely makes a huge difference..

So where do you buy most of your Christmas gifts? Online or in the stores?

Help When You Need It

Not too long ago, I was talking to a friend of mine whose daughter is absolutely swamped in school. She’s a senior in high school this year, taking advanced classes, plus she’s also been taking a couple of college courses at the local Junior College. She said that right before mid-terms her daughter has four essays due, plus still has to study for her exams on both the high school and college level. We were both in amazement as to how she was managing, with all the late nights and early mornings.

She confided to her mom last week that she isn’t going to be able to get it all done, so she’s found a professional who will write your essay for you. This is her second time to use the service, and she said that she’s convinced with her full schedule it’s the only way she’ll make it though.

I, for one am so glad that these services exist. They definitely make life easier.

Back to Gratitude

I’ve decided that even though I think of the things I’m grateful for daily-  it’s important for me to keep a visual account of those little things that add up to big things in my life.

So, in addition to sharing them on my Facebook page, I’ll also be sharing them here.  No time to start like the first day of December.

 

Today I’m grateful for:

1-  A great cup of coffee.

2-  Marcel helping me finish the goodie bags for the Ladies Night.

3-  Little glimpses of sunshine.

4-  Watching the ducks get excited about the bread I gave them.

5-   Left overs, which means no cooking for me today!
