I’m linking up with Faith for this years Christmas Card Carousel.
Here is our 2014 Christmas card 🙂
Holiday Traditions & Hospitality
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Charmin. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
I can’t believe we only have 10 days until Christmas! This year sure has flown by. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle comes shopping, eating, and lots of family. We always have a house full of relatives and everyone is going in different directions. Kids running around while the men watch football and the gals are in the kitchen slaving away.
The LAST thing you want happening to ruin your holiday is this…
A CLOGGED TOILET.
Thanks to Charmin we don’t have that problem. Charmin has Roto-Rooter’s stamp of approval to be clog-free and septic-safe, but it is also used by plumbers more than any other brand.
We’ve used Charmin in our home for years, it’s super soft and we prefer it to other toilet paper. I always try to make sure our guest bathroom is stocked full of toilet paper because the worst thing for guests is running out of toilet paper! Can you say AWKWARD???
Make sure your bathroom is inviting. It’s okay to add a little Christmas to the bathroom too. It’s one of those rooms that gets neglected during the holiday season, yet it’s one room that’s used the most.
For more than 70 years, Charmin has been trusted in millions of Americans’ homes! If that doesn’t tell you people love Charmin, then I don’t know what will. You have to try it for yourself. I compare it to sleeping on 100 thread count sheets or 1000 thread count sheets….which one is softer? Obviously the one with the most thread count and that’s the bed people want to USE! Same goes for toilet paper.
With Charmin Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong you can use up to 4X less toilet tissue. You use less because you don’t need a whole lot to do the job. It lasts longer and saves me money.
So…after we are done with our Charmin we like to use the cardboard roll on one of our favorite holiday traditions. Every year we build a gingerbread house. It’s not always the most beautiful sight, but the point is we are having FUN!
We take a left over cardboard roll from the toilet paper and roll it in icing. The cardboard color matches the gingerbread house perfectly so you can’t even tell! Then we roll on some sprinkles and we have our chimney 🙂
I hope you all have a blessed Christmas season and make sure your stocked up and ready to go with Charmin! Buy less & save MORE!

Christmas Tour of Homes
This is my favorite time of year! I love turning all the lights out and just sitting with just the Christmas tree on and a fire. I’m linking up with Kelly and the Christmas Tour of Homes. Go share your Christmas decor too! I love seeing how other people decorate 🙂
Here is a little glimpse of our Christmas hizzle:
Fa La La La La!!!
Connor and I met up with Uncle Garry & Aunt Loyce last night to visit the annual Christkindl Market in Arlington. It’s always so much fun and all the German food and goodies are so good!
Here are some pictures of our visit to Christkindl. If you live in the DFW area I would highly recommend a visit & it’s free to get in 🙂
We are almost done with our Christmas shopping. Connor and I are headed home to Arkansas and I’m so excited to see my family.
Still shopping for your little ones here is a cute idea:
If you have a little girl in your family check out Charmazing custom charm bracelet sets. This is Connor’s friend who lives next door and we gave it to her to play with and look how much fun she’s having! So cute! I would have loved this when I was young.
Featured on this year’s Toys“R”Us Hot Holiday Toy List and available exclusively at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide and online at Toysrus.com as well as NYC’s FAO Schwarz, Charmazing – offers young designers the chance to create a host of unique charm bracelets to wear and share! Charmazing provides tweens with more than 100 different charms in 11 different themed collections categorized in two worlds, Karma (positive energy) and Nature (powerful energy). And via an inventive new app, girls can scan their Charmazing charms into a virtual Charmazing world, where they can connect with other fashionistas and trade charms with friends!

Merry Merry Christmas! I hope you all are enjoying this time with your friends and family. I’ve been a little slow on the blogging front lately because I’ve been booked with photo-shoots. I’m hoping to get my groove thing back soon!
Anyway I wanted to thank you all for reading this year by hosting a fun little giveaway of one of my favorite things….which is of course coffee! Now, I don’t JUST drink Starbucks people, I just know it happens to be on every exit of the interstate and it’s easily accessible.

The Polar Express
We boarded the Polar Express tonight and it was so much fun! In Grapevine they have a historic train that carries you back and forth to the North Pole. We sang Christmas carols, got a bell from Mrs. Claus, and when we arrived at our destination we met Santa.
The elves greeted us along with a LOT of snow. We watched a cute show and then got some frosty hot chocolate 🙂
Here are some photos of our night on the Polar Express. It was so fun watching Connor light up and it’s just as much fun for us to watch the magic happen.
