This afternoon SB and I dropped off Jordin at dance - and went to her favorite place to shop - the Dollar Tree. I gave her two dollars - and she was in heaven. After a good hour of debating over which treasures she wanted - she chose some ridiculous jumping beans and a stuffed puppy. Of course, she wanted to spend her money buying a small angel for the tree - but, I told her that I thought Mimi's angel would be perfect... (it's like a little Christmas book - SB and her desire to share her wealth with everyone but herself)... We headed home for homework ("sums") and I cleaned out my car. The revelation here is, for the past year and a half of working 60 hours a week - my life has been RATHER disorganized... so, a clean car is a miracle.
We went back to pick up Jordin at dance and watched the girls reherse their number for the Festival of Trees this weekend... oh my goodness - adorable costumes - they look like little peppermints - and, then we had to run to Wal Mart (oh the insanity) to get a baby gift and SB new tennis shoes. SB volunteered her birthday gift card to pay for her tennis shoes - so I let her pick the kind she wanted. Jordin and I picked out the baby gift (look for pictures tomorrow) - we always "make" the gift - so, we chose some pieces and then came home. By this time, despite an early supper, they were starving - so, each had a PB&J and then found their own thing to do... for SB, this means my lap... and for Jordin - well, an hour later I found her in full dress up gear, complete with makeup....

Hi Rachael,
I am a writer and I research gift ideas for e-books on original gift ideas for Christmas and other events like Valentine's, Easter etc. I also organize gift ideas per receiver, like for babies, for kids, for teens, for grandparents, for dog lovers, for him, for her, etc Or I organize them by category like romantic gifts and inexpensive gifts. In my research I also go through blogs that mention gifts and gift ideas or events like Christmas. That is how I came upon your blog this post. I would appreciate if you would share just one successful gift idea with me, for instance a Christmas gift for a woman. I hope that my question doesn't annoy you. And I apologize if it does. I thought if I'd just ask enough people I'd wind up with plenty of good ideas to share with others again. That is what networking is all about, right? Or let's call it the spirit of Christmas. Let me know if I can do something for you. You can find my free e-books with gift ideas here: http://www.100mostoriginalgiftideas.com. God bless.
