Christmas Traditions from my Readers!

One of the questions I've asked in most of my giveaways this month has been "What is your Christmas morning tradition?"

Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate Review and #Giveaway

Congratulations Shanda! Once again, Tropical Traditions has hit the spot!  Not too long ago, I received a jar of the Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate, and this stuff is fantastic! Coconut Cream Concentrate is certified organic whole coconut meat in concentrated form. It contains no additives* (not even water). The dried coconut meat is ground very finely, giving it a creamy consistency due to its high fat content. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil. I have to admit, in the first shipment I…

The Architect and the Builder – This is real life.

The Architect Then, this morning, I wake up to Legos clanking in the playroom.  Hawk heard it too, because he was up and in there before I could get the camera out.  I overheard…

After that, the weight should fall off. If you're looking to start out the New Year on the…
