This post brought to you by Kroger® Private Selection®. All opinions are 100% mine. I love hosting dinner parties. They are so much fun for me- to have family and friends over, eating together and talking and laughing, and I’m happy to serve everyone and ensure they are having a great time. It makes me […]

Christmas is only seven weeks away, so it was time for us to order our Christmas cards. I always wanted to try to create beautiful folded cards, rather than the traditional flat, postcard-like card we have made every year so far, so this year I ordered my cards from Pear Tree Greetings. The selection of […]
-
Aww what a cute card! We need to order our Christmas cards asap!
-
I love how big you can have the pictures on the one you chose – and those pictures… Love your photography and adore those boys 🙂
-
You know I really have to look into ordering mine, and soon! We send a lot of cards internationally and those need to get mailed out quite early. Off to browse!
-
7 weeks….EEK. Love your cards, though!
-
I love your Christmas cards! The boys are adorable as always. I need to break out my camera and take pictures of my kids so I can place an order for holiday cards sooner than later.
-
Those cards turned out adorable! I always love getting Christmas cards that are personalized like this.
-
I’ve just started looking for my holiday cards. I’ll have to check out PearTree. Thanks!
-
Their cards are gorgeous! I have always wanted to have some family holiday cards made up, but have never gotten around to it. I love the photos you chose of the boys, they are so adorable!
-
You have such beautiful kids.
-
I like the full width photo cards. I need to order mine soon.
-
Such a cute card!!! I have thought about ordering through them this year, looks like I might give it a try!!
-
How adorable Pear Tree always has some great items and being able to put your own picture on them is definitely a must have.
-
Beautiful photos! And beautiful subject matter, right? 😉 Love that Pear Tree is partnering with Caring Bridge.
-
I like the unique styling of these cards.
-
Cute holiday card! We love doing the cards that can be personalized with photos too.
-
I’ve always wanted to have custom Christmas cards made with photos of the family! Between a husband who doesn’t like smiling for photos (a bad habit the Marines taught him) and a teenager who fights me everytime I pick up the camera…we end up sending out store bought cards every year!
-
Cute cards!! Reminds me I need to order mine!!
-
I love these cards! They’re so original and unlike the traditional postcards for sure!
-
They have some really cute designs. I like the trifolds!
-
Soooooo adorable your boys are!! Love the card!
-
They seem to have a huge selection available! Definitely something to flatter everyone’s style.
-
Love the photos! Hubby and I should do something like that now that the kids are old enough to make their own!
-
I so love personalized cards! Yours are perfect! 🙂
-
It’s too late for me to try to get a family photo shoot but I am really planning on doing this next year!

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Fellowes. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I’m a work at home mom with lots of paperwork flying around all the time. As a family, we also have a […]
-
I had a shredder but one day it just stopped working. I need to get another!
-
Same here…we really worked it, and it couldn’t take it. This one from Fellowes is so much better, it doesn’t jam and it has a bigger capacity- I should have invested in a better one the first time!
-
I normally have my husband shred stuff at work, but it would be more convenient to have one at home. 🙂
-
I have aFellowes shredder, it is fabulous. Like you, I shred constantly so nothing is ever around for prying eyes.
-
I have the 73ci. Their shredders are absolutely incredible. I can’t rave enough about the safety.
-
I love the fact that you can shred so many different papers at once!
-
We have a shredder and it is such a great tool to have it really helps make you feel safe when discarding some things.
-
I desperately need one of these shredders to take care of all the papers I have.
-
I don’t shred nearly as much as I probably ought to. I had never thought about shredding my grocery or to do lists so outsiders can’t see what we’re up to. Great tip!
-
Looks like an awesome shredder!
-
Oh wow I really could use one of these shredders. I am organizing my office too and need a lot of paper disposed of.
-
Our shredder quit working over a year ago and I still haven’t replaced it. This one looks nice!
-
I never thought I’d love a shredder, but since we got this one…well I love it, lol! Our old one used to jam all.the.time. This one hasn’t yet, and I’ve put it through the paces. And electricity is so expensive where we live so I really like the energy saving feature.
-
I *need* that shredder! I feel like junk mail is taking over our life, and so much of it can’t just be tossed in the recycling bin without risking identity theft.
-
I received the same one! I love it! I t works wonderfully.
-
We have so much to shred.
-
I really need a paper shredder, I have so many papers that should be shredded.
-
I just worked on my office today and really need one of these!

One of the most fun things about having two children of the same gender is getting to dress them alike. Yes, I’m one of those moms, and I love doing this! I also love OshKosh B’gosh, and have dressed my sons in every size of their overalls since they were born (a six month old […]
-
I loved shopping for Osh Kosh clothing when our daughter was little. She had some great outfits, and I loved that every year they came out with new ‘themes’ and patterns for their lines. The quality for the price is great too.
-
I agree!! He is so handsome. I love these types of clothes on little boys..it’s so cute!
-
I love seeing siblings dressed alike – it’s so cute! I agree that Osh Kosh has great holiday clothing that doesn’t break the bank.
-
Squee! Adorbs! I never expected dressing a boy to be as fun as it has been.
-
I absolutely love OskKosh and their adorable styles. And don’t worry, you aren’t the only mom who dresses her boys alike. Mine are 5 and 8 and I still dress them alike. 🙂
-
I am SO looking forward to dressing my boys alike! Yours are too stinking cute.
-
I so agree! I use to dress my oldest son preppie when he was young. We lived with my mom on a golf course so I use to dress him in polos and preppie clothes. Your sons look very cute and adorable.
-
That outfit and your son is super cute!
-
Your little man looks super cute and I especially love the red train sweaters you purchased. OshKosh always has such great deals!
-
Such handsome boys in their new Osh Kosh B’gosh outfits 🙂 We got so much for M there with all their sales!
-
Cute stuff! My daughter has outgrown Osh Kosh.
-
I love the clothes at Osh Kosh. They have the best clothing.
-
We love Osh Kosh clothes, I buy them for my youngest all the time and they have killer sales!
-
We have an Osh Kosh outlet here that I need to go to! Always some great items there for my son.
-
I agree about having two kids the same gender. I dress my girls alike all the time. Your boys are so cute!
-
I love OshKosh and always find adorable clothes for my kids there. I’m heading to an OshKosh outlet tomorrow to take advantage of this weekend’s Veteran’s Day sales, in fact! 🙂
-
My boys are 7 and 5 and I’m still dressing them alike. Until they tell me to stop that is the way it’s going to be LOL! Your boys are adorable.
-
They have the most adorable clothing ever.
-
Your boys always look nicely dressed both the little ones & the big one 🙂
-
Their outfits are super cute!
-
I’ve only recently been able to start being able to dress my girls alike. Until recently I’ve been able to rely on just hand me downs, but since my girls have grown at different rates that’s rapidly changing.
-
I really like the mock turtleneck sweater. I need to get shopping for Christmas clothes soon!
-
I need to go shopping – I *love* that navy button-down sweater!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray. Tis the season to get baking, and we’ve been having a lot of fun making cookies and pies here (little man loves to whisk eggs). I of course use all natural ingredients in our foods, and was recently introduced to […]
-
I’ll have to pick some up just in time for my holiday baking to start.
-
I normally use coconut oil spray, but I just might have to give this a try sometime. 🙂
-
We use a TON in our home, but I don’t know why I didn’t think to bake with it sooner. I’m going to keep this in mind for our annual Bake and Bake, which is a cookie baking fest that goes down in mid December!
-
Can you say YUM OVerload!!!! Looks like some fun baking and lately I have been doing a lot of it. I haven’t tried the Grapeseed Oil Spray, might have to grab one!!
-
Those look amazing and perfect for the upcoming holiday season.
-
Oh I’m so glad I saw this! I’ve been using organic non-stick cooking spray for a few months now but this sounds like a really great option too!
-
I’ve never tried Grapeseed oil. I’ll have to give it a try for this holiday season!
-
I’ve been looking around for this, but haven’t found it in my market yet. I love their regular grape seed oil.
-
I use grapeseed oil, but I’ve never used it in cooking spray form, before.
-
My husband makes pumpkin and apple pie. He also makes apple crisp. I am going to have to tell him about the grapeseed oil.
-
Grapeseed Oil sounds very interesting and I’m definitely going to check it out!
-
What a great prize! We definitely do more baking this season than any other!
-
I am not generally a baker. We always end up at my moms and she always makes all the goodies.
-
I’ve never used Grapeseed Oil, but those all look amazing. I think I need to try it.
-
I’ve never thought to use grapeseed oil spray for baking. I usually rely on canola oil spray but good to see there’s another alternative!
-
I’ll be baking my favorite oatmeal chocolate chip craisin cookies for the Holidays.
-
I am a big “cook with olive oil” fan, but I may give this a try in some of my holiday dishes.
-
I love using grapeseed oil for a carrier for essential oils, but never thought about using it for baking. Those individual pies look so yummy!



This looks amazing! I love hosting dinner parties but hate all the prep work involved – this definitely streamlines things!
