Blogger Experts: HELP!!!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Quick question for my readers in hopes that SOMEBODY will know the answer to this:

How do I send e-mail updates to my followers for each time that I post on my blog?

I see that under "settings" I can enter up to 10 e-mail addresses for the "e-mail feature", but this is not helpful as I currently have 19 followers (and counting, I hope!)

Any help is much appreciated!!!

I have my Lil' Peanut Tech looking into it as we speak...

Have a great day and stay warm!

The Perfect Gift from Snapfish!

Good Morning Everyone!

I took a nice, long weekend off...but I'm BAAAAAAACK.  It is so cold out today!  Our school district closed school today due to the frigid temps.  I am so glad that Dylan is at home, safe and warm!

Big news for all...lots of snow.  Yuck.  It was pretty for a little bit, but now it's a little obnoxious out there.

This morning I FINALLY created our Christmas cards.  Yes, I know, it's December 14th.  We should receive them in a few days, so I am not too worried.  They are SO cute and with my coupon codes, they were super cheap!

I have gotten a couple of orders from Snapfish.  I ordered 50 photos the first time and just got 50 more.  They were all FREE!  Snapfish has a ton of great coupon codes, almost daily.

Right now, Snapfish has a special on their photo books.  These books are perfect for ANYONE on your Christmas list!

Receive 50% any photo book order with this code:  1211MERRY

This code is valid until 11:59pm on December 17th.

Snapfish is also offering 25% all cards with this CODE:  MERRY2010

LOVE this company!!!

Stay Warm and Happy Shopping!

In the Meadow, We Can Build a Snowman...

Now that our order from Target arrived...FINALLY!!!  We ended up getting Lil' Peanut a mini-"Mama" coat in red (I have one in black), a one piece snowsuit, hat and mittens.

As you can see below, this stuff was made for our precious girl!!!  How cute is she???

The feet have "ballet slippers" on them...

Mini-Me!!!

She didn't know what was going on...she just wanted to bite on the hat and mittens!  SO CUTE, YES???

Stay Warm!!!

Gift Ideas for Almost Anyone!

Happy Friday Everyone!

This week went fast!  It's already December 3rd!!!  I have been looking around at gifts online and thought I would post a little something about what you can give almost ANYONE for the holidays...gift cards.

I know a lot of people do not like to give gift cards, but this is a gift that allows the receiver a fun opportunity to SHOP for something really cool.

I think iTunes is one of the best gift cards you can get for almost anybody.  It doesn't matter if you have an iPod or if you do not even listen to much for music.  You can buy or rent movies and even pre-order new release movies!  If you want to be a little more creative, you could include a nice blanket, throw pillows, slippers or pajamas.  Perfect gift. http://www.itunes.com/

Many restaurants are promoting a "Pay $25, Get $30" type of gift card.  Locally, I know Piggy's in La Crosse and Syl's Place in Barre Mills both offer this great deal.  Make it a dinner and a movie package and get a theater gift card too!  http://www.piggys.com/ and http://www.sylsplace.com/

Not from around this area?  Check around with some of your favorite restaurants for these value-type gift cards!

One of my favorite places to shop (both in-store and online) is Target.  I wish, wish, wish we had a Super Target, but we don't...yet.  However, I have found many great bargains on Target's website.  They usually even offer free shipping on many items.  Clothes, electronics, games, CDs, movies, household items & decor, food, etc, etc...anybody can shop here!  http://www.target.com/

Try a small business that has a lot to offer.  For example, Holmen Locker & Meat Market is a one-shop stop for some really yummy things...the recipient of this gift card will thoroughly enjoy shopping inside the market, where you’ll find a wide variety of fresh meats and cheeses, microbrew beers, wines, specialty foods, gift baskets and house wares.  http://www.holmenlockerandmeatmarket.com/

Send them on an adventure to find unique shopping!  My favorite picks?  Tomah Cash Store and Burnstad's Market http://www.tomahcashstore.com/ and http://www.burnstadsmarket.com/ . 

If you send 'em shopping at one of these unique stores, they can have lunch right at Burnstad's European Restaurant, or send them over to the other side of Tomah to the Ground Round.

http://www.burnstadseuropeanrestaurant.com/ and http://www.groundroundtomah.com/

Don't live around the area?  Check out YOUR city for unique gift ideas!

Hope this helps for those "hard-to-buy-for" loved ones on your holiday list!

Have a great weekend!

Great Gift Ideas for "Her" or "YOU"!

Happy Wednesday Everybody! (And if you're reading this and NOT a follower...please follow me, it's easy!  PLUS, I'm getting ready to do a super cool giveaway, so you HAVE to stay tuned...)

It's that time of year when everyone's asking, "what do you want for Christmas?"  I always hate to answer that question, because I do not really like the idea of people spending their hard-earned money on me.

I will, however, tell my readers what I'm loving this holiday season.  Women can be the most difficult people to buy for if you put too much thought into it, but they can also be the easiest!  In the coming days, I will give you my suggestions for the guys in your life too!  Kids are easy, but I will post some for the babies also! 

FOR THE LADIES:

SJP NYC, available at Macy's...smells so good!

ANYTHING at Sephora...seriously, if you have someone that's difficult to buy for, you can't go wrong with a gift card from Sephora.com!

Boots from Forever21.com...they even have TRACTION...only $34.80!!!

CARDIGANS ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!  This one is from Kohls.com and they have a lot of styles to select from, including some really cute ones from Vera Wang!

Happy Shopping!
