Yep. Santa with a Gun. Doesn’t get more Jess than that does it? (Click Santa to be taken to Jess’s wish list page)

Anyone who has tried to buy a gift for Jess, knows he is just about the hardest person to shop for. Period. He won’t tell you what he wants, for fear it is too expensive. And when he finally does tell you want he sorta wants, it is the day before Christmas and you already bought the “this will do” gift.

This year is going to be different. He made a list. I checked it twice, all sorts of gifts both naughty and nice. So please, check out the link below and feel free to call me (or him) with questions. Everything on Jess’s wish list page links to a place you can buy it online… how easy is that?  Happy Shopping!!

Halloween seems like so long ago, so I feel like this post is VERY overdue.

What a fun day for Addie. We woke up early and practiced trick or treating. Then, Addie geared up in her Elmo Costume and off to Grandma Stephs for the morning while Jess and I went to a Wedding. She always has such a fun time at Grama “Teff”’s

Addie was able to join us for the reception, and of course, we didn’t take any pictures but she was so stinkin cute! She danced for Nolan (her official God Viking), and rand around twirling and showing people her dress.

After the reception a much needed nap, and off to Grams and Grumps’ house. It was about this time I realized I hadn’t taken any pictures. BAD MOM. Bad. So we took Addie for a quick jaunt through the neighborhood to show her off. The neighbors we delighted andwe collected some candy (for me, Addie is still on a no-sugar diet). Don’t worry, thanks to Auntie Lisa Addie got lots of healthy goodies to gnosh on while I ate her candy.

So, here are some pics of Addies first real Trick-or-Treating. I have much more to post about my night (Grams and Grumps kept Addie so I could go to a halloween party, and be a DD for some friends at the Coffee Connection). Plus, yes I know I need to post about Mexico, I will get them all up by the end of the weekend.

The joys of not understanding “Candy” She thought sticks in her pumpkin was great! Every stick we found along the way was picked up and put in her basket… Anyone want to hire her for Yard Cleanup??

Walking up the steps to her first house, fortunately no sticks. Apparently it is hard to balance with a pumpkin when you are Elmo, so Grams had to help her up the stairs.

The best thing about Trick or Treating with Addie this year, when she got a piece of candy, she gave back a stick or another piece of candy! She loves to share, although eventually she tried to give back hte candy and take back her stick. Sticks are very important to a 1 year old.

Everyday someone does something new on the interwebs. Some experiments prove to be rather successful others, not so much.

365 Day Girl, has no motives that I can see to succeed or fail in marketing and entrepreneurial… things,  but keep an eye on her. I think there are big things in her future. Check out her Blog here. She has about 10,000 online accounts. You can find her on Youtube, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook(but not myspace cause that creeps her out) among others.

The project intrigues me! Learn everything in regards to mastering social media. Doesn’t sound that tough, people do it all the time right? Wrong. Have you ever thought about how many aspects of social media there are? If you think you have, check out her website, blog, youtube, etc and you may change your mind. Aside from that, she is super funny and completely adorable. I’m totally addicted.

I check her pages a few times a day when I need to mellow and distract myself. She talks about poop, and beauty. Who does that??? She open and honest and I totally adore her personality. Check it out!

Thanks to the marvels of modern technology and the app store, I am now capable of blogging from my iPhone. Hopefully this will lead to more impromtu blogging! Now I just need to figure out all the tweaks…
