Minted has the most amazing designs, the best quality, and their printing and shipping time is fast. I think they can manufacture my cards faster then I can make a decision about which card I want to order. They are all so pretty. Have you ordered your Christmas cards yet? I have some good…
You’ve heard of blind bag toys, but what about blind boxes? Radz 3 in 1 surprise boxes do not disappoint. They come with a collectible trinket, bracelet, and CANDY! There are “bakies”, “sweeties”, and “munchies” to be collected. My Annabelle is 9 years old and she was quite tickled to open her blind boxes. I’m…
Every year I look forward to a few family favorite Christmas traditions. We like to find things fairly close by that fit our budget so these are ideas that could work for anyone! Here are a few of the things we do each December! Christmas Lights Tour. Ask around to find some great light displays…
One of our family traditions is to read the Night Before Christmas to our children on Christmas Eve, “The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nickolas soon would be there.” We have always hung our stockings on the mantel, but when we moved our new house it didn’t have…
Do you have any fishermen in your family? My husband and son love to fish. We have two stocked ponds at our house, and we’re always ready to tryout the latest fishing products! Our ponds have some nice size Bass in them, but we haven’t been able to catch any large ones. That’s why I…
Over the years my kids have found many different types of Christmas gifts under the tree, but one gift they always receive is the gift of reading.

I love to cook, but my greatest weakness in the kitchen is getting the meat done right. I have found my Cave Tools meat thermometer to be a great help. We grill a few times a week. I found this thermometer super easy to use. This tool is not only great for grilling, but it…
We just wanted wish you a Merry Christmas and amazing New Year. We are so thankful for all of our readers. We couldn’t be doing this with out you. Plus, a special thanks to all the companies we work with – we also could not make theSIMPLEmoms what it is today with out you.
Anyone else slightly freaking out about the things on their to-do list before Christmas comes in a few short days? Just me? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Beyond the normal clean the house, wrap the presents, make the food, we still have some of the buy the presents items on our list. If you’re like…
Ready or not, Christmas is coming! I’m on schedule with shopping, wrapping, and managing our calendar. I could be derailed at any moment with a sick kid or schedule snafu, but my stress level is still in zone green. Today I want to share some really random holiday tips that could be relevant to your…
It’s not every day I use the word favorite. But when I find a gift that seems to be a hit with everyone, I have to share.
