This is going to sound like I’m a kid in a candy shop but…Hooray! There’s a national day for sour candy! How cool is that? As a kid growing up I was all business - I wouldn’t waste my time on just any candy - it had to be chocolate or nothing at all. Well, I never walked away from any candy, but my preference would be chocolate bars.
We interrupt this holiday season for a GIVEAWAY. Using “pause” in this moment in time seemed over-used so I am interrupting the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. But why now? We’re working hard and we still need to decorate the house, buy gifts, wrap gifts, send out holiday cards, make grocery lists, bake, etc. why would I do a give away now? Because someone may need a free gift - that’s why!
I’m really feeling the effects of this year’s late Thanksgiving. People are skipping right over this holiday and they are already getting Christmas trees. Even my kids have been pleading for me to get our tree now - sharing some statistic that claims, “Those who get their Christmas trees early are happier people.” Well, I prefer to be unhappy thank you very much. I will wait until Black Friday.
When I was deciding whether I should write about Peanut Butter Lover’s Day , Strawberry Day, Day of Unplugging Day, Minnesota Day or Mulled Wine Day - I wrestled with the decision. From my perspective, there are too many thoughtful ways to celebrate any of those national days and I couldn’t decide which one to write about. What a great problem to have!
I was running on a treadmill in my basement when I randomly remembered that I may have red and white popcorn containers made with lightweight cardboard. As soon as I was done running, I opened up the cabinet and sure enough there were twenty-one popcorn containers. Yippee! The colors fit my theme for Valentine’s Day.
A really good problem to have is that some of the teachers at my kids’ school actually read my blog. This means I can’t always write about what we are going to give them before a holiday because I want them to be surprised.
Recently, I was asked if I was going to put together a Thoughtful Pinch Gift Guide for the holiday season. My immediate reaction was, “Holy Smack Me In The Head With Flattery!” I’m so grateful that my friend Wendy asked me that question because not only was it a huge compliment, but she got me thinking about this awesome idea! I wasn’t sure if I could put together a gift guide but I knew one thing, it was definitely time to collaborate.
