Where would you go on a winter vacation if money was no object? First, I think it would have to be someplace warm. Maybe a cruise or I could look into St Lucia hotels or maybe Mexico hotels. Anywhere in the Caribbean would be great. However, if money was no object and I could stay as long as I want, I would consider Australia or New Zealand. These are two places that I might never get to visit.

What are your Thanksgiving traditions? We had a few growing up, but some I have not passed on to my children and now I feel that I need to. The first tradition that I almost always follow is to make Monkey Bread. This is not the Monkey Bread that you might commonly see with cinnamon and sugar. This bread was an old southern recipe that used a potato dough. I don’t use the potato dough anymore, but I still roll out the dough, cut it with a simple cookie cutter, dip it in butter and place in a bundt pan. The bread is baked and easy to pull apart when ready to eat.

The second tradition that I want to do this year is to make pies from scratch (my mom would have never bought a store pie) and then roll out the extra pie dough, spread with butter, add cinnamon and sugar and roll up. These rolls are then cut into 1/4″ slices and baked. We used to look forward to these sweet treats when my mom was baking pies.
The third tradition that I have followed through the years was to watch football. My dad is an avid sports fan and Thanksgiving wouldn’t be a holiday without a little football.

I have been somewhat faithfully watching this season of The Biggest Loser. I was finally happy to see Tracey go home, because I think she is insane. The best part of the show is seeing the transformations at the end. You know that they put in a lot of work on their own and weren’t just relying on slimming pills or quick weight loss solutions.
I was sorry to see Abby go home. She has been through so much after losing her entire family. I am glad that she has decided to speak out and help others through their time of loss.
The Biggest Losers airs on NBC on Tuesdays.
My kids had a week off last week. I tried to keep up with the blogging by using my laptop computer, but it didn’t go quite so well. My older daughter was a little sick last week and it looks like she gave it to the rest of us. My son has been home for the last two days and I am feeling a little under the weather myself. Hopefully, things will get back to normal soon and I will be back on a regular blogging schedule.
Today is my sister’s birthday! I won’t tell you how old she is because she would kill me. She lives all the way on the other side of the United States and so I don’t get to see her too often, but we talk on the phone a lot (good thing we both have Verizon and mobile to mobile minutes). We discuss everything from our kids, church activities, weight loss product, politics, world affairs, etc.
Unfortunately, I am not the best sister in the world. I still haven’t found her a birthday present. I will probably head on over to Amazon and pick her up something from her wish list. Love their free shipping!
Actually, while I would love a bedroom makeover, I would love to surprise my teenage daughter with a cool teen bedroom makeover! My daughter loves photography and has been building her portfolio. She started out with nature photos and has diversified to people, objects and places. It would be so much fun to make custom bedding for her from one of her photos. This is one of my favorite photos that she has taken. Wouldn’t it look cool on her bed?

Besides the spread, I would add a wall mural, like the one pictured above, from their design collection, a few photo pillows and maybe even a wall sticker or two to make her bedroom a country garden!
Here is her current bedroom. She will probably kill me for this!
These products are all from VisionBedding.com. They offer personalized photo products such as pillows, posters, wall stickers, baby blankets, fabric and wall art. Plus they have a huge gallery of designs that you can use too! Here is my favorite design from their gallery. Very modern!
The best part is they are having a contest right now. The contest is sponsored by VisionBedding.com and TwitterMoms. Blog about why you need a bedroom makeover and you could win a $1000 bedroom makeover from VisionBedding.com.
So if you want your boring bedroom, to look like this:

Happy Halloween! Most of my kids costumes are ready (I am still working on the oldest daughter’s) and we are ready to do some serious Trick or Treating. I just hope the weather holds out.
Speaking of costumes, yesterday I drove by the High School. I think Halloween is an excuse for the girls (and some of the guys) to dress in as little clothing as possible. I say a few girls dressed as “nurses” in some of the skimpiest costumes that I have ever seen. Then there were the pirates and I think even a few were dressed as prostitutes (it was hard to tell). The guys were mostly wearing appropriate clothing. I saw a few gangster with unlit cigars (they must of found a parent with Black and Mild cigars to complete their costume), but a couple guys did go as male strippers.
Hmmmm, I wonder which parents let them out of the house like this!
I always keep a book in my car. It seems that I am always waiting for my kids to finish there activities and this is a good time to read. What I didn’t realize was that I would get in a good 30 minutes of reading time when I was stuck on the turnpike the other day. It seems there was an accident that closed all lanes for a short period of time. They actually had to wait for a rv towing service to tow an RV out of the way.
The plus side is that I was able to finish The Candy Shop War by Brandon Mull. The book is geared for the nine to twelve year old group and was an excellent story. I have also loved his Fablehaven series (I am waiting for the newest one to come out in paperback). These books are stories that involve magic, fairies and an estate called Fablehaven. If your child loves the Harry Potter books, or similar stories, I would highly recommend them.
