Every year I make a plan so that I won’t be rushing around shopping for a last minute gift or two, and every year, without fail, I find myself in need of a last minute gift that doesn’t scream I bought this last minute! Sound familiar? 

Do you need a gift for a thoughtful coworker who just handed you a wonderful gift? Or maybe your Uncle decided he would come to the family function after all?  No matter the reason, it’s five days until Christmas and you need an awesome gift now! Here’s a tasty last minute gift idea for cocktail lovers sure to not be re-gifted. You order online and let the subscription boxes work their magic.




Hello Sip Scout Subscription Box from The Crafty Cask! 





Sip Scout Cocktail Box


Since I work at home, most of my lunches are eaten solo and mainly consist of either leftovers, or something quick and simple like yogurt and granola and a piece of fruit. However, yesterday my daughter and I decided to treat ourselves to a hearty lunch by making sourdough bacon pepper jack and cheddar cheese panini’s served with a warm bowl of tomato soup and I must say, the food and her company were a delightful change of pace! Another great thing about this lunch? We had tasty sourdough bread from the freezer to table in under 30 minutes.

What’s your favorite Star Wars movie? When I’m asked this question, usually on May 4th, I reply I can’t choose a favorite and I stand by that. I love so many of the Star Wars characters, from both the new movies and the classics! Imagine my delight when I learned that Cratejoy has a Star Wars monthly subscription box! I’m geeking out over here and thought I’d share this cool find too.

Something magical happens when you bring your kids into the kitchen with you. From the time my girls were able to stand on a stool to help me prepare sweet treats or just their afternoon snack, I’ve loved watching their faces as they work in the kitchen. Sure, there will be messes and plenty of patience testing minutes- but all that is well worth all the fun you’ll have in the kitchen. I received my first box from Kidstir, a cooking kit subscription company recently and I wanted to share it with you today.

The moon has called to us from above for ages. Not only is it a celestial marvel to look at it, is necessary to us mere mortals here on earth. I've looked up into the night sky to find constellations and admire the moon since I was a kid and I've passed my love of the night sky onto my daughters. We have a telescope and try using it as often as possible. If you'd like to help your kids say I see the moon in a whole new and exciting way, check out this great STEM learning box offer from Groovy Labs.
