Starting with Thanksgiving, the holiday

With the price of travel increasing, and the amount of money in American pockets decreasing, many families won’t be spending the holidays together this year.
However, with a little creativity and some innovative thinking you can find ways to…

Its that time of year. . . .again!
Whether you are a scrooge or an elve, you've probably noticed how no one has the money to buy gifts.
For kids this year Christmas may be a dissapointment.
But really. . .?
Is that what this is... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog

Beginning December 1st (and sometimes sooner), holiday music good and bad begins playing non-stop on every radio station we turn our dials to. While some songs get us into the holiday spirit, others leave us feeling tacky and as grumpy as the Grinch.
As seen on Marieclaire.com, if you're stuck in the car or at a party and one of the following 10 songs comes on, turn the knob. Trust us -- you'll thank us later when you hear the song and know why.
The 10 Christmas songs we wish we'd never hear again:
1.Dominick the Donkey, Lou Monte
If we wanted to hear that much braying, we’d sit next to our asthmatic uncle Fred.
2.Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, Elmo & Patsy
Because Nana’s drinking is no laughing matter.
3. The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late), The Chipmunks & David Seville
Regrettably, the Xanax is in our other purse.
4.Jingle Bells, The Singing Dogs
Hmmm, barking dogs. See also: reasons to move.
5. Feliz Navidad, Jose Feliciano
The only Spanish we retained from high school.
6. I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Tommie Connor
Fanning the fears of infidelity and broken marriages since 1952.
7.Mamacita, Donde Esta Santa Claus?, Augie Rios
Sparking the Santa-ain’t-real conversation in homes all across the country.
8.Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Someone’s gonna yell “like a light bulb!” and think they’re being cute. But they won’t be.
9.Christmas in Hollis, Run-DMC
Santa doesn’t get jacked in the ’hood. How festive.
10.The Christmas Shoes, NewSong
Why would you do this to yourself? Seriously, people take medication to avoid this feeling.

The media bombards us with images of women who are pencil thin, who look flawless 24 hours a day, and who manage all of their myriad responsibilities without ever breaking a sweat. We often fall into the trap of believing the hype and setting unrealistic expectations for ourselves. Added to that, on a daily basis we are asked to live up to the expectations of our spouses, our children, our extended families; sometimes even our friends and neighbors. During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, if we are not careful, we can lose ourselves in the flurry of activity! Read More »
