Don’t Fail The Elf On The Shelf This Year – Make It Work!
Every year, I tell myself 'this will be the year I make Elf on the Shelf work' and promise to do something creative everyday.

AMAZON.com Knows Something YOU Don’t OR They Got Jokes!
I was shocked, I tell ya, when I got an email from Amazon.com yesterday telling me a package was on the way to me. Under normal circumstances, I'm not surprised. I order from Amazon ALL the time. The FedEx and UPS drivers know me well. But this email held a little more information than I was prepared to handle...either that or my husband has some explaining to do...
