So I was shopping around a bit (online of course; have you seen the crowds?!) and I happened upon this website http://www.become.com and I noticed that they had a bit of everything! Stuff for babies, automotive, home and living,etc; and they list every item in one place from different sites, such as Kohls, The Company Store, Crate and Barrel and Sear's Marketplace. These are already places I love to shop at and it is so convenient to me to be able to compare prices and find things on one web site, than to have twenty different tabs open and me having to click back and forth to figure out which item to order from whichever store.

I don't know about you, but that is convenient to me and I love anything that saves me time! I was browsing and ran into these cute sugar packet holders http://home-and-garden.become.com/sugar-packet-holder and I can choose from white, black, aluminum, etc; and there are so many different styles! (My personal favorite is the Mediterranean Sugar Packet Holder and it is now $35.88 marked down from $55.20!)
Plus, since it's the Holiday season, I know my dishwasher is going to be in full effect with all the dishes I will be using to cook and bake with, and to save me money (and time) is a great thing, especially with these cute dinner plates!  I mean, my family and I are not paper plate kind of people, since most family members either pile their plates so high and run out of room, or their knives and forks just make holes in the bottoms and tend to leave me with a bigger mess than I really want. Yet with most of these plates, I have durability and plates I can use over again for every Holiday. (I don't trust my family with my good China; are you nuts?!)
They also showcase some beautiful vessel sinks! And I'm not sure about you, but this is the type of sink I would love to have in my home! I've always been amazed with them and love the elegance of them. I get bored with the "norm" nowadays but this is starting to become a trend and these sinks last for a long time. Plus they have amazing vases to choose from that go with the sink top itself! My favorite one is the 31.5 in Contemporary Bathroom Glass Vessel Sink Pedestal Vanity (http://www.moderndanish.com/Modern-Bathroom-Kitchen-Products/Modern-Bathroom-Vanities/Contemporary-Bathroom-Glass-Vessel-Sink-Pedestal-Vanity?utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=become) because I love anything glass (that isn't easily broken by my kids) and it's just beautiful! If you plan to remodel your bathroom, or heck, your kitchen (if you're in to that sort of thing; who knows, it may be cute, just make sure to send me pictures!) then this is the base to choose from. It adds just that right touch where you need it to be.

Don't forget to browse the website. They have so many more items that are easy to find and great deals on a whole bunch of things. This is where I plan to come when I need to start searching for my girl's 6-9month clothing.

Why iCaughtSanta! (Review & Giveaway)

CLOSED




Look who tried helping me hang up decorations!
I was just minding my own business, cleaning my house, and I come downstairs and there's Santa! I had to grab this picture!

Imagine if you could show this to your kids and explain to them how "you caught Santa" in your own home, how excited they would be to have this picture as proof for their friends.
Well, you can! Because I'm giving away FIVE free iCaughtSanta photos to five individuals!
I was a bit skeptical at first, but they have 20 different poses for Santa (even one with him asleep in a chair!) and you can resize him and place him where you think he looks best. There are also three other characters to choose from for different holidays, etc; so it's not just for Christmas, which is the best part!
When you purchase the picture, you also get five "Elf-Cam" videos so your children can see what Santa has been doing in your house!

You can also check them out here on their Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ICaughtSantaClaus

All you have to do to win is comment with a funny Christmas story. Did you drink too much spiked Egg Nog and go dashing naked through the snow? Did the dog knock down the tree? If so, we'd love to hear it and you can win yourself a free photo!

Good luck!
