Last Minute Gift Shopping - Buy a Star -Unique Gift!

Many people, including myself ( this year), do last minute shopping during the holidays and we never seem to know what to buy that special someone in our lives who already has everything.

So why not take all the hassle out of it and buy them a gift online today! If you have finished your holiday shopping then think of us when a birthday or other special day comes around...

Give a real star to that special someone! It’s great for those who have everything. Three gift packages are available, starting at just $39.95 (Free Shipping!). Each package includes naming and recording fees for your star and a beautiful parchment certificate from the Universal Star Council. Handsome cherry wood plaques available for display.

Who has their Christmas Shopping Done?

Who is completely done with their Christmas shopping?

Here it is with only a week to go before Christmas and I am not even halfway done with my Christmas Shopping...I still have several gifts to buy. I think I will do some shopping tomorow if someone babysits the babies for us. I normally do not procrastinate but this holiday season has been a little hectic with the move...We are temporarily staying with my husbands parents and it doesn't really feel like Christmas because it's not my Christmas tree nor my Christmas traditions! However I am thankful and grateful for having a place to stay until we move into our new home (apartment on campus) during the first week of January.

I ordered a few gifts online this past week and I am hoping they come in before Christmas...

I hope everyone who reads this...and everyone else...has a Merry Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, etc...and a Very Happy New Year!

Chronicles of Riddick Review

I don't normally post reviews about movies on my blog but Chronicles of Riddick is probably one of the better movies that I have watched in a while. The movie is set way in the future when Earth no longer exists...Vin Diesel plays the main character.

For some people, knowing Vin Diesel is in the movie is enough to make them want to watch the movie regardess of what it is about...

Initially I didnt think I'd want to watch the movie but my husband convinced me to sit down and watch it with him a couple nights ago and it ended up being a good movie.

Have you seen this movie? What's your review?

Digital Cameras-Polaroid, Canon, Nikon...What to buy?

I am wanting a new digital camera as my Christmas present and for the last week or so I have been reviewing a couple different inexpensive digital cameras. I am down to a Canon Powershot A310, a low end Nikon and a Polaroid.

I currently own a polaroid digital camera that is a bit outdated but still takes good pictures and a new Concord digital camera that is cheap and only takes decent pictures in natural light. I also have a great traditional 35mm Canon SLR camera but I like digital cameras better.

Does anyone have any experience with the new digital cameras I spoke of above? Which one is the best camera for the money? Each of them are around $150 each. I may keep my money until after xmas to see if I can get a better deal and possibly a better camera for the same amount of money...What do you think?


Happy Holidays,
Amanda

Toddlers and Puzzles and LazyTown...

My toddler ( Well, I dont know if he is technically considered a toddler or a preschooler since he is 3 1/2 years old...anyway...) has had an obsession with puzzles lately. Everytime we go to a store we have to buy him a new puzzle. Luckily, we can get puzzles for $1.

He loves to put the puzzle together over and over again.

Our toddler is also into the new show on Nick JR, LazyTown, and guess who he likes? Yes, you guessed it...the bad guy...Robbie Rotten! He says he wants a winter scarf like Robbie Rotten. I'm going to have to watch the show this week and see what it is so I can find him one for Christmas...


Happy Holidays,
Amanda

Home Business Help For Moms Site is back Up...

My home business help site is back up. It has been down due to technical issues for a few weeks and I am happy to report that the site is now back up. It has not been updated in a while and I plan on totally redoing the whole concept of the site by the New Year-2005 to make it a more unique work at home mom site since there are so many work at home mom sites out there...

If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see in a work at home mom site then send them my way!


Have a great week,
Amanda

Where's the Nip Tuck Blog?

Are you in love with FX's top tv show Nip/Tuck? Well, it seems to me that many people are and a lot of them are looking for a Nip/Tuck blog.

I have been getting a lot of traffic from my one and only Nip/Tuck entry about the Season 2 Finale so I guess there is a definite need for a Nip/Tuck Blog. I suggest that someone start one or maybe there is already a good one and I just can't find it. Maybe I'll start a Nip Tuck blog once Season 3 starts back up...if and when it does...
