I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving. With the hectic holiday week I did not get to do my Five on Friday post so felt that Six on Saturday was even better, since I have a great sneak peak to share.
1. I LOVE Thanksgiving. It has always been my favorite holiday. I think this is because that the day is about good food, friends, family and being grateful – thankful for all of our blessings. I am blessed, and it is nice to take time from the hectic routine to sit back and enjoy time with my family.
2. I am not a shopper — I can not seem to grasp the need to go out shopping on Thanksgiving or even stay up until midnight to do this. I much prefer, when ever possible, to order things online while I sit at my computer listening to holiday music.
3. Christmas is my second favorite holiday — because I love the lights, the music and GIVING. Sadly my bank account is never as big as my heart. I get excited buying gifts for the giving tree with my kids, it gives me hope that I can teach and guide them to understanding the true meaning of the holiday.
4. In line with the fact that my heart is bigger then our paychecks at times. I love finding deals. There is currently one at Leapster, get five dollars off every cartridge in your cart. Here is the code: LEAPSTR5 There are some that are just five dollars, this means you can get them for just shipping. I got several cartridges for the kids to give to Toys for Tots. I love it when I can get a deal and give to someone else at the same time!!
5. I value true friendship. Friendship has many different forms and I have friends that are just people I talk to while the kids play outside, others I call on when the world bottoms out and still others who I get together with for coffee and to laugh.
6. There is nothing in this world more exciting then expecting your first child. I just love this couple. They are fun and SO in love with each other and their new little one who is coming — in the not too distant future!
