January 22, 2013 I know it’s almost the end of January and I noticed that I’m the only one in my neighborhood with my Christmas lights still up on the house. Honestly, I have been waiting for the snow to melt so I don’t have to put up the ladder in the snow
It's hard to believe the holidays have come and gone in a matter of weeks, which means all of a sudden our "binge eating" is going to be frowned upon. It also means it's time to think about taking down our festive decorations. This can be a bummer not only because it's like getting rid of all seasonal cheer, but we also haven't the slightest idea how to get rid of our Christmas trees. Luckily, we've discovered a step-by-step instructional guide that walks us through this process in a painless manner.
The holiday season is usually a momentous time for laughs, cheers and smiles, but this kid's reaction, while still happy, was a little different. He might not have been too psyched over that initial gift, appearing a bit apathetic, but the second one surely got to him, resulting in a response no one expected -- especially the parents.
So we are reaching critical mass around my house right now. With end of the Holidays in sight, we also have the bottom of the treat jar in sight. And the dilemma is: Should we make a final batch of Holiday treats or start the New Year’s resolution of healthy eating early?

Trees that are donated for recycling, are turned into wood mulch for use at ZooMontana, the Montana Audubon Conservation Education Center and the city of Laurel. Fortunately we
When Abby, an eight-year-old mixed breed dog that belonged to the Grapengeter family of Fairbanks, Alaska went missing on December 13th there wasn't much hope for a happy reunion.
Okay, I am going Seinfeld on you for a moment, but what's with the “one size fits all” cans of yams? We usually get fresh sweet potatoes for our Christmas meal. Being that we just moved and still are adjusting to the new place, my wife and I decided to take the easy way and get a can of yams
When I growing up in Seattle, Christmas Eve day was one of the hardest days ever…the waiting, the anticipation of what was in those packages under the tree and the arrival of family for dinner. We always had a big Christmas Eve dinner at our house and then traveled on Christmas day to a relative’s house
Singer JoJo got into the Christmas spirit during a recent, multi-song acoustic session. She belted out 'The Christmas Song' in addition to a handful of other tunes. It's certainly a lovely rendition, one that would pair nicely with exercises like tree-trimming, guzzling eggnog or stuffing your face with gingerbread men.
