What I Wore: Red Skinny Jeans & TOMS

Last week, I took you on a trip to the grocery store to grab a copy of People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
Me, my 3 babes, the release of Christmas candy, and Channing Tatum...A good time was had by all.
I can't believe I wore red skinny jeans out, like in public! In my head I kept playing it over and over telling myself to buck up and do it, and I even got dressed as I was running out the door so I couldn't turn back.
Pants & Shirt-Old Navy, Undershirt-Layers, Shoes-TOMS
Have you heard of Ebates? Please tell me you have, and please tell me you're a member.
If you want to read an awesome description of the site, read Teressa's post.
I don't shop a ton on the internet, but have already gotten over $50 back.
If TOMS are on your Christmas list, you are in luck. $5 off $25 and 5% cash back. I love a good deal, and will be going back. Hurry, it expires the 30th!
Old Navy is offering 30% off right now and with ebates you get 10% cash back.
I just wanted to say a quick thank you! Thank you to the sweet ladies who comment on my fashion posts! They aren't super special or trendy, but you all say the sweetest stuff and it makes my day! I wish I had 5 minutes to respond to each and every one and I'm going to try to be better! At the moment, I'm lucky if I can get in the shower, by myself!

PEOPLE Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive is...

Channing Tatum!
Did you know that?! Did you run and buy PEOPLE Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue just like me?
If you haven't bought it yet, hurry! It's only on shelves for a couple weeks!
How can you say no when he's looking right at ya? You know those pictures that look at you wherever you are? That was this, I moved to the left and he was still looking. Then to the right and he was still looking. I'm a sucker for gossip magazines.
Guess what also came out at Ralphs? Christmas candy! So while I got a jump start on catching up, the kids got a jump start on picking a treat.
I get a treat, they get a treat. It's a win-win for everyone.
Welcome to my life.
3 kids 5 and under grocery shopping, begging for treats, hurrying sister to the bathroom, and crossing our fingers that baby sis stays asleep.
I'm all set for my mommy time, chocolate and PEOPLE Magazine. Typical woman!
The checker laughed when I pulled out my dslr and said, "Well there's a first time for everything!" I guess not too many people take pictures at the grocery store!
A bunch of the sexiest men were ones that I would vote for. For example, Patrick Dempsey, Matt Bomer, Jim Caviezel, David Beckham, Simon Baker, & Eric Close were all included. I mainly like looking at PEOPLE Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue to get fashion ideas for my husband. He has to wear a suit every day to work, but I like getting ideas for casual wear during the weekend. The Star Tracks were awesome! I thought it was awesome that Kate wore a recycled dress, and I thought it was just as awesome that it's called recycled if she wears it twice.
I love what Channing said about his mom and his wife! He's a total romantic, which is probably why he rocked it in Dear John! Overall, I was really impressed with the comments made by all of the men in this issue. Most of them spoke about how much they enjoy spending time with family and going on outings with their kids. To me, that is sexy. 
Hurry and grab your copy so you can read about Justin and Selena's breakup and about the inspirational Lolo!

A Time for Giving Thanks~Free Printable

Life has been flying by.
I keep thinking to myself, after this busy moment I will catch a break.
Who am I kidding? I take another thing on and it doesn't slow down.
I pulled into Old Navy recently and candy canes were up in the parking lot, I was shopping humming along to Christmas music, and the smell of cinnamon filled the air thanks to Michaels.
I love Christmas! I really do, but I don't want my children going from the thrill of getting a ton of candy to the thrill of Santa Claus and presents.
I am thankful for so much and am trying my best to teach them to be grateful for all they have.
I've been working with Yeung Mother Hubbard and Madison Design Shop and this is what we've come up with. I'm so excited to share!
 Madison Design Shop designed these fantastic tags for us to let our friends and family know that we are thankful for them! I am glad these came out so awesome and best part is they can be used at any time throughout the year! Wouldn't you love to get a little pick me up and know that someone is grateful for you?! Maybe you have a friend that never, ever says a negative thing about anyone and you love that about her, take her a note! Maybe you have a friend that occasionally helps your child walk up to kindergarten because she knows you have 2 sleeping in the car, take her a note! Or maybe you have a friend that you know is going through a tough time with one of her sweet children, take her a note! I know how great it feels to know you are appreciated and sometimes it feels even better to be the one saying thank you.
When I was thinking about taking plates around, I was so overwhelmed by the number of friends that came to mind. I'm pretty grateful for the chance to take a step back, count my many blessings, and say thanks to a few sweet families that mean a lot to me.
We put together 7 plates filled with turkey shaped sugar cookies, peanut butter chocolate rice krispie treats, and brownies.
My hubs was the driver of our get away car, I was pretty much the coolest mom ever with my mask that barely let me breathe-seriously can you see a hole in that mouth?! and Batman cape, Batman would ring the doorbell and Batgirl (her purple shirt is on under the jacket) would carefully place the plate on the doormat. We hid behind bushes and in front of vans and laughed like crazy when we made it back to the car. Our sweet boy let us know this was his most favorite night ever and he was upset that I didn't make more treats. His sister let us know she loved it by crying when she realized we were on our way home for the night.

Happy Monday!
