This is a sponsored post. I am a Sears blogger, though all opinions are my own. I love shortcuts. Ways to save time. Work arounds. As a work-at-home mom, my day is divided in to two parts…with kids and without kids. Let’s not even get in to the fact that my day...

When was the last time I blogged? I’m being overly dramatic. I posted Friday. And I posted again today. But I haven’t done the regular almost-everyday posting for a while. Life keeps getting in the way of me blogging about my life. Irony, yes? So what have we been up to? I’ll start with...

The last couple of years our NYE plans have been low key. Staying at home. Eating snacks. Playing games. Watching TV. Celebrating the ball drop. Sipping sparkling cider. Shooting off party poppers. Nothing elaborate, but just what we like…good, low key, seizing family time fun. My children are not old enough to have plans...
