I think one of the best things I get for Christmas every year is Jessica’s Rum Cake. It’s heavenly! My postal carriers always seem to have a buzz when they deliver that package each year. This year I want to bake with the girls so that we can give yummy goodness to all of our friends and family this Christmas!
Who doesn’t love fresh baked cookies? Morgan makes awesome banana bread! I’m sure anyone would be thrilled to get some of her banana bread for Christmas. The little ones could help with the cookies and Morgan is just a baking fool, so I am sure she will head up the cooking session.
There is nothing like a home smelling of baked sweet goodies! This year we will pass our love to friends and families through their tummies!
When in doubt, get a gift card!Gift Cards are pretty much the can’t go wrong gift! There is no chance of picking out the wrong color or size. I think people are very grateful when they receive a gift card because they can get exactly what they want. There is no risk of your gift being wasted because it is not their style and they plain just don’t like it! Don’t let your gift be a gift that gets re-gifted!
At Shop.com they have a large selection of gift cards that you can purchase right online. No need to go from store to store to pick up your gift cards this holiday season! I know my tween daughter would love an Old Navy gift card! Maybe a Home Depot card for the dad or the J-man.

Looking for Christmas ideas for you mommy friends? I have the perfect gift idea! Not too long ago I was sent a Joey Junior Purse Organizer to review! I am in LOVE!
I switch purses often and this makes it a breeze! I had a few purses that I never used because it was like dumping my stuff in a bucket. I could never find anything in my purse! I had to dig and dig to find my keys, my phone etc! Once I got the Joey Junior Purse Organizer that was no longer a problem! There is a pocket for everything! Even a little clip to secure my keys to so they are simple to find.
If you look in my purse now you would be in aww of how organized my purse is! You would be in even more aww when I switch from one purse to another simply by removing the Joey Junior Purse Organizer from one purse and placing it in another! It even velcros so you can get the right fit for your purse.

I received a Joey Junior in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own!
I have holidays on the brain! We do not have too many more weeks for Christmas shopping left and I am making my list and checking it twice.
I have been posting a lot about this subject and wanted to talk about how great gift baskets can be! I think gift baskets make perfect gifts for teachers, club leaders, friends and family. I’m thinking about getting the J-mans grandmother a gift basket this year for Christmas.
I was browsing around and found something that would be perfect for her. Like me, she is a coffee drinker. I found a gift basket that is filled with coffee and chocolates! It is called the Coffee Time Deluxe Coffee & Chocolate Gift Basket. It includes Santander Coffee Bits Chocolate Bar, Marich Single Serve Chocolate Espresso Beans, Biscotti , Cafe D’Amore Espressimo Coffee, Magnum Organic Costarica Whole Bean Medium Roast, Elsa Story Cappuccino Pecan Butter Cookies, Lady Walton Dark Chocolate 2 Oz, Ghirardelli Espresso Escape Chocolate Bar, Victoria Gourmet Coffee Spoon – 2Pc and two pouches of gourmet Coffee.
Who wouldn’t be happy with that? The Ghirardelli Espresso Escape Chocolate Bar sounds like pure heaven to me. Wonder if it would be weird to buy myself a gift basket? I could say it was from the kids….hmm?
Gift baskets make great “thinking about you” gifts as well! You don’t have to wait for a holiday. Do you have a friend that is down? They would probably love a gift basket pick me up!

I’m an adult, I’msupposed to be mature and all that yackity yack. For the most part I am, but this book has been so much fun! We still have so much to try though….hee hee hee…..
The Encyclopedia of Immaturity has been such a hit that Klutz is following up with a second book! The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 includes thought-provoking topics such as how to slide down a banister, what we talk about when we talk about wedgies, how to send a toiletgram, and more. It’s all new and all hopelessly goofy.
The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 is jam packed full of fun! I love KLUTZ! I am always looking at the books they offer and they always appeal to me. I am about to be 35! This book filled with shenanigan’s will keep your kids laughing!
This book happens to be rated for ages 9-99! Makes me feel a little better about enjoying it so much! There is this one section in the book that is for photo ops. Check these out!
I was laughing so hard at these photos! I need to do them of all of us! There are so many immature things in this book to do! Even how to make fake bird poop! HA! Click here for a sample page that shows you how to make a fake bird poop mess!
This would be a great gift for anyone! Hours of enjoyment are found in this great book from KLUTZ!

I was sent The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 to review on my site, no other compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
You may have seen this little red contraption on the television. People raving about how wonderful and easy it is. You may have had your doubts, I did. I am happy to report that this little thing really pulls it off!
It’s fast, easy to use, easy to clean and little! The first thing I made in it was pancakes. The biggest, fluffiest pancakes ever! Seriously, my pancakes were so fat! So fat! I made some awesome eggs that were fluffy and the kiddos devoured them.
The Xpress Redi-Set-Go Electric Cooker is great for my daughter who loves to cook. She has made “donut holes” in it several times. It is so easy for her to use . I love that you can cook the foods without adding extra fat to cook them. This makes for healthier cooking.
This would be a great gift for someone on your list this year! We have even made personal pizzas in the Xpress Redi-Set-Go Electric Cooker! I made the pizza dough recipe that comes in the cookbook in our breadmaker. I then divided it up into portion sizes balls and kept them in the refrigerator ready to go! When I was ready to make a pizza I just flattened it out, placed in the cooker, topped with sauce, cheese and toppings. In 7 min I had an awesome little pizza!
We were sent the Xpress Redi-Set-Go Electric Cooker to review on Not So Average Mama. No monetary compensation was recieved and all opinions are my own.
As kids get older, shopping gets harder! I mean what do you by tweens? I was thinking about some ideas and want to share them with you. As kids get older, their bedrooms become their space. They want their privacy and they want a cool bedroom. So I was thinking that a bedroom makeover would be the perfect Christmas gift for a tween.
Some ideas I had would be to purchase awesome new sheets and bed linens. If your tween likes to change looks often you could purchase a few duvet covers so they can change them out when they tire of one look. You could purchase a nice down comforter and easily change the look by changing the duvet!
Tweens love to have sleepovers! You could purchase several extra pillows for them to have on hand for friends, or just to toss out on the floor to lounge and read on! I love getting new pillows, all nice and fluffy!
You can personalize the look of the room even more by purchasing some accessories like lamps. Desk lamps, night table lamps, maybe some cool track lighting? Even decorative night lights. Storage chests and Magazine holders will make your tweens room a nice living space while providing storage to keep that clutter under control!
If you have some more ideas for gifts for tweens, especially girls, I would love to hear them!
The air outside is crisp and clean feeling, winter is definitely on the way! I’m so excited! Along with winter comes Christmas! I love the excitement that Christmas brings to the house. I’ve made it pretty clear that I love wooden toys. I’m not a big fan of the toys of the current time. I love vintage, retro inspired toys. Toys that let my daughter’s imagination flow. I’m sure you can imagine my feelings when I found a red vintage style play kitchen.
You really can not go wrong with pretend play kitchens as gifts. I have never seen a kid that did not play make believe. The kitchen is the heart of the home and children love to mimic! My daughter will spend hours a day playing house.
When I seen the KidKraft Red Vintage Kitchen I was in love. I love that it is constructed from wood! It also comes with a ladle, pot and vintage looking apron! How cute is this? It comes with a cordless phone, knobs that click when you turn them and sink that you can remove for easy cleaning! I could see my girls having a ton of fun with this kitchen! A toy that would definitely provide years of fun! They have a lot of wooden kitchen accessories that would be great to add with this.
