Four Under $10 at Target for Christmas {Pretty, Happy, Funny Real}

I have no shame in admitting I am already listening to Christmas music and decking the halls around the house.  All while eagerly planning my Thanksgiving menu no less.  Everything about Christmas just makes the world a happier place for me and I plan to savor that feeling this year.
I am also unashamed to admit that
I adore Target and they don't even pay me to say that!  Here are four Christmasy things I found to help me get in the holiday mood - all for less than $10.00!


~PRETTY~
$8.00 Tinsel trees that come in red, silver, green and multicolored.  These are easy to stick in children's bedrooms, beside the fireplace or, in my case, I am going to try to put them outside on top of my pots with the dead mums in them.  :)

~HAPPY~
Don't you love the dollar spot at Target?  This $1.00 snowflake bucket makes a great pen cup.  (Flair pens are extra of  course.)  It could hold a teacher's gift card or a small stack of homemade cookies wrapped in tissue.
See the new Michael Buble CD over there?  For $9.99 you can enjoy his warm as cocoa voice singing you It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas and it's so good you may even start to believe him!

~FUNNY~
These four Nicole mini polishes are $9.99 and the names made me smile.  Try painting the extra snowflakes please over any other color. I have already had several compliments on my toes!  And here's a real bargain idea, split them up as stocking stuffers and make that money go even farther.

~REAL~
While I was attempting to take these very average photos my real life snuck into the pics.  Here KC is admiring the colorful pens.  I had to promise to make art with him after the photo shoot to get him to leave them alone.  
Notice the feet in the upper right corner?  ZJ was reading his new book on the staircase and I instead of asking him to move I just cropped those feet out of the first photo.

  2. Wow! That motivated me to get moving on November, Misty :) ! I loved seeing your pretty/happy/funny/real. I agree- all worthy.

    I am gifting some friends with the book coming out next week as a surprise, so I didn't want to post it on my page, yet. If you're looking, plan on reading for a while! http://fatherlessbook.com/

    Thanks for the tips! And I love the stockinged feet in the last photo.

How wonderful! Have you ever listened to Straight No Chaser's Christmas music? You'll love them- they have TWO cd's!

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven baskets, doesn't she?       Even the boys had fun playing in the sand while I took m

Savoring Summer {Staying in the Season}

The desk full of binders, calendars, sports schedules and dreamy ideas is where I currently find myself, while my mind continues to stray back to the mountains and clouds of our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We have been home for a week and I decided in future, I must come home better mentally prepared for the onslaught of emails and to-do items that pile up when we go away for two whole weeks. The fact that school resumes one week from today only intensifies the pressure to get it all done right away. Usually at this point in August I am eager for cooler, less humid days hinting at the beauty of spicy Autumn flavors. Not this year. I am so invigorated by my return to normal movement following the long recovery from knee surgery that I don't want these summery days to end. At least not until they officially end on September 23, 2014. This year feels like a do-over, the last one so consumed by injury, pain and slow, slow, slow recovery. My mind is bursti

Petals :: 52 Photos Project

Where I live the Bradford Pears have bloomed and blown and the Cherry Blossoms are in full blossom.  Even though that means our allergy season is now officially underway, I cannot help opening our windows every morning in hopes of hearing the birds singing to greet the day.  Springtime has conveniently coincided with my personal recovery process from knee surgery.  As I am slowly re-gaining mobility on crutches it seems an added encouragement that the weather is also improving and the trees are welcoming my return with their flowers. What a treat it would be to be able to put down my crutches in time for Easter Sunday and walk again on my own! (I am doubtful but one can hope.) Sharing with 52 Photos Project :: Petals
