It's Time For Santa To Start Making His List

It's time for Santa to start making his list. Christmas shopping will commence in earnest barely after the Halloween trick or treaters have polished off those candy apples and Hershey mini's.
With the economy in a downturn, parents may be depending more on Santa this year to supply Christmas Day goodies for the kids. So it might be a good idea to make sure your kids are in Santa's good boy and good girl book. Better yet, why not tell Santa right up front about your little one's virtues? Make sure they dress the part so Santa doesn't have to look too close.

And it certainly won't hurt to sweeten the pot when Santa stops by on Christmas Eve. Why not leave a little present for Santa to go with his milk and cookies?

Hopefully a little advance planning will help loosen the drawstring on Santa's bag and he will leave presents in abundance for the kids at your house this holiday.

Even A Mom Has Her Dreams

I may be an almost 50 year old mom of many, but I used to be a spring chicken. In my younger years I was fascinated with the beautiful harem girls and princesses of the wonderful old Hollywood movies like The Sheik, Road To Morocco and The Thief Of Bagdad, and one of my secret dreams was to learn how to belly dance. That's back when I had a shapely belly!
Many classic movies and romance novels later, I still find it a lovely dance art but I'd rather watch a movie with my bowl of popcorn than learn to gyrate correctly myself.

Did you know?
The costume now associated with this dance is called the bedlah in Arabic (meaning "suit"), and was adopted by dancers in Egypt in the 1930. (as per wikipedia) Traditional dress for the dance included more covering of the body. The western costume we think of today is not traditional at all! But it sure is a lot of fun.

Not sure you want to show your curves in a bedlah? How about donning a t-shirt with a beautiful belly dancer design. It's the perfect Halloween costume for moms like me who want to cover a little more of their belly than a harem girl might. And for more mature chicks like me, it's a fun way to still celebrate the lovely art of belly dancing.

My Favorite Fall T-shirts

It is the height of autumn in Pennsylvania right now where I live. The colors are gorgeous as the leaves on our maple trees have turned those beautiful shades of orange, yellow and red. The air has taken on a crispness and everyone's porches are covered with pumpkins and mums.
Here are some of my favorite fall t-shirts for the family to wear to celebrate the Harvest season and that fun Halloween holiday that is coming up soon:

When A New Baby Is On The Way

I was talking with my son last week and he informed me that he and his wife are thinking about adding baby #2 to their family. Of course that is exciting for us as grandparents! We love our little granddaughter very much and think she would be a great big sister.



Big Sister by teewitbaby


Being a young Dad or Mom is not easy. But they really enjoy being parents. Little do they realize that becoming parents again is nothing like the first time around however. Now they have their first bundle of joy to care for in addition to going through the nausea months and sleepless nights of a newborn. It will be fun to see them rise to the challenge. We look forward to that special phone call when they ring us up to say "you're going to be a Grandma and Grandpa again!".

Surprise Grandma And Grandpa With T-shirts When They Visit

I was watching t.v. this afternoon and an ad came on for Grandparents.com. It advertised 101 things a Grandparent can do with grandkids, so I checked out the site. There are a lot of ads to wade through but also some great info. The 101 things for grandparents has a dropdown so you can pick the city nearest you and look for cool activities and places to visit right where you live.
I picked Baltimore, the biggest city in our area and was pleased to find a place called Amazing Glaze where kids can paint pottery for firing. Also stores like aMuse Toys and Build A Bear Workshop. Best of all were the museums, some of which I'd never heard of before: Baltimore Museum of Industry, Baltimore Public Works Museum, Baltimore Streetcar Museum, Babe Ruth Birthplace and Official Orioles Museum. And that is just a few.
Certainly there is plenty to do in Baltimore for a Grandma and her grandkids. And you just might want to bring Grandpa along too.
So check out your closest city and see what's brewing. You're bound to find something to do when Grandma comes to visit. Just give her a list of fun places to go, a GPS, and a cool new Grandma t-shirt to wear while she's with you.

I'm In Love With These Cool Guy T-shirts

When Christmas shopping time rolls around, it's always my husband that is hardest to buy for. After all, how many ties does a guy need? And I've bought him books for the last three years running. He has every wrench known to mankind.
So when I saw these funny guy shirts I immediately thought Christmas shopping. What man wouldn't love this one?
