Wow! It's the last Friday of 2018. This has been such an interesting year for me and I definitely did not end the year where I began. This year gave me the opportunity to explore what I really want to do and also opened my eyes to the kind of people I want to surround myself with. Today, I am linking up with Erika, Andrea, Narci and The Blended Blog reflecting on my top five posts of 2018.
It's the Friday before Christmas. I cannot believe it and I cannot wait. Today I am linking up with Erika, Andrea,
Narci and The Blended Blog to talk a few last minute holiday favorites and then I literally need to get back to wrapping gifts. AKA my least favorite holiday task.
1) Amazon Echo Dot
Ok, if you have been around this blog for a even a minute, you probably know that we never buy the latest technology when it first comes out. One of my Besties bought us an Amazon Echo Dot as a family gift. We got it last Friday, and we really love it. We love asking Alexa to play random Christmas songs that we haven't heard in a long time like A Christmas to Remember by Dolly Parton and also playing Jeopardy and Price it Right. Alexa can also tell you what's on the Hallmark Channel. It's also a Good way to set reminders for Hockey Guy. It's always Better to have Alexa nag him than me. I am sure almost everyone reading has one but if you don't, they are at such a Good price now you might want to check one out.
We are getting so close to Christmas! I am sprinting to the finish and was working on my gift cards this weekend. Like all of us, I give coffee gifts cards this time of year. I am one of those people who doesn't think that a coffee gift card is a boring gift. I for one always need a $10 coffee card...right! Over the years I have created a Better way to dress up the gifting part of the gift card. Since every year when I get the supplies for the gift cards the barista tells me "that is such a Good idea" I decided to share it with you all today.
This week seemed a little slow but Friday is finally here. Today I am linking up with The Blended Blog, Erika, Narci and Andrea to share some ideas for Good hostess gifts. These ideas would also work for teachers, co-workers, neighbors, secret Santa and friends. Basically anyone that you would like to share a little bit of Joy with this holiday season. The Best part--these will not break the bank.
It's time for Friday Friday Favorites so I am linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea and The Blended Blog but today's post is going to be a little different. It is a post that is not about holiday shopping (more to come on that) or my favorite hot drink, there is only one Friday Favorite and this post is very personal to me. My Friday Favorite is dedicated to President George H.W. Bush who had a very big impact on my career and my life. Indulge me for a moment as I take a moment to put down into words the memories that have been in my head and on my heart of how this President impacted my career and life.
It's the first Monday of December...whose excited? I am! I am joining up with the lovely ladies of The Blended Blog to talk all things holiday. Let's get to this...shall we?
