I have found some more cute Christmas printables to share with you!

P1010554

Have you heard of Catch My Party? They have such cute printables - and so many of them are free!

I fell in love with the Cookies and Cocoa party set – there is such a cute variety and you can use them for so many things! They have a bunch in the set that are perfect for a cocoa party or cookie exchange.
The little graphics are so sweet and I love the stripes!

I think I need to have a Hot Cocoa bar set up this weekend after we go look at Christmas lights. It’ll be super easy to do and so nice to come back to something hot to drink!

There are so many other fun things you can do with the printables in the set. I printed out the large circle designs – they are perfect for gift tags.

I think I’m going to print up some more and glitter them up. Wouldn’t these be sweet covered in red glitter?

I also printed out some of the little flags. These would be cute as little party pics – but I’m going to cut them out and glue them to my Christmas Card envelopes.
I think they’ll really dress them up!

I would totally show you that if I had my Christmas card envelopes. But I don’t.
I figure – why not wait until the last minute – it makes Christmas prep so much more exciting. :)

Making the Holidays Relaxing for our Kitties

15
Dec 2012

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort Zone® products for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ok  – so you might know I’m a bit of a cat person. And I have two little babies that I love dearly.

This is Xray -

Who apparently feels that the camera will steal his soul and under no condition whatsoever should he look directly at it.

And this is our baby, Kato.

Who isn’t really a baby anymore (except to me) and isn’t afraid of anything or anybody.

Christmas time is an adventure with these two. We put up the tree and it’s all – “woohooo – Christmas is here for us all”. The tree is the place to hang out and nosh on. And have epic play battles under and nap near. It’s the bessssst.

But with Christmas also comes some decor changes  – and if you have cats you know that anything different is something not be trusted for many weeks. And by that time all the decorations go away again.

It also means lots of family, and other family pets, that come to visit. Which makes Xray hide under the bed. :)

So I’m trying something new this year to help them to relax. Have you heard of Comfort Zone® with Feliway®?

Comfort Zone® products help to reduce stress in pets, and stress usually results in behaviours like scratching and marking. They release natural pheromones that help them to calm down and relax! How cool is that?!

Now our guys have never done the marking thing. (thank goodness). But there is some scratching naughtiness that will get them coal in their stockings occasionally. ;)

And since new sofas are on my wish list for next year – I would reallllly love this to stop.

Since this is in one of the two rooms we are in the most, I’ve added the Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Diffuser to the nearest outlet, and I’ve used the Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray to this part of the sofa. Which is the only part they ever mess with, silly things.

I am hoping it helps them to relax and cut down on the scratching and to not be stressed out with all the decor changes – and all the family coming!

Awww look.

I just love finding the nearest iron object and snuggling up to it all cozy, don’t you?

If you’re intersted in finding out more about Comfort Zone® with Feliway® products, you can check out their Facebook page.

How do your pets do during the holidays? Do they love it? Stress out? Climb the tree? :)

Sporting Some New Specs!

08
Oct 2012

So a couple of weeks ago I told you I was heading out to do some glasses shopping! I am so excited to show you what I picked out!

I think they’re such a fun style – a little retro and fun. And they’re Tiffany! Hello.
(Not that I’m all about the brand you know, but seriously, these are so cute!

My old glasses felt a little outdated – I think these are a more current style – but also a style that will last me quite a while!

I went in to LensCrafters to get my eyes checked and pick out some cute frames. They were super helpful. Especially since I took forever – why is picking out glasses so hard?

They had a great selection which made it a lot easier though!

I was especially drawn to the Tiffany, Coach and Burberry lines – though they had lots of brands and styles to choose from.

So once I picked out my new babies, I was able to try out the LensCrafters AccuFit system. After wearing glasses for years – this is really much better than the old way of fitting glasses – just a little ruler and a sharpie or something.

The sales associate takes photos of you facing forward, and to the side, so you can see how the glasses fit. (No laughing at these – it’s better than the DMV photos but a bit obvious that I missed out on some photogenic genes)

Next they fit your glasses into the AccuFit measurement frame and take a closeup of you then plot out several measurements to make sure the glasses are focused and fitted correctly!

I picked out some new sunnies while I was there that I love too!

My new glasses even have a cute little case – and a little “sleeping bag” for my glasses like you get with cute shoes or purses! (Yes. I’m easily amused.)

So stinkin’ cute!

I’d love to know what you think of them!

LensCrafters offers a clearly different optical experience by helping you find your perfect pair of eyeglasses that allows you to see 5x clearer.
