Oh What Fun It Is to Give, Give, Give it Away #3BoL12Days

We have had so much fun giving away fab prizes during the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways and I'm sure you're probably wondering what happened to days 11 and 12.

The giveaways didn't stop. In fact, these giveaways were special but their joy won't be known until Christmas morn. We're charging this special Santa with this special delivery.

Last week, the youngest and I were shopping and picked the names of 2 angels from the Salvation Army Angel Tree. The Salvation Army Angel Tree Project is one of our favorite service projects. The kids enjoy picking a tag or two from the tree containing the name, age, size and wishlist for a child in need.

The REAL fun begins after you've picked your angel's name from the tree. I armed the kids with a shopping cart and off they went. I could hear them asking each other "Do you think so and so would like this" while testing what seemed like every toy in the toy aisle to find the perfect gifts for our angel.

I had a blast shopping for clothes for the 2 year old. I found so many affordable items and ended up buying 2 outfits for each kid and only spent about $30.

We were lucky enough to find everything on one of the kid's list but had trouble finding a karaoke machine. This is usually the time of year when you can find them at a decent price but the ones we saw weren't the most kid friendly products. They were pretty complicated but we settled on one we think she'll enjoy.

What about you? What are you giving away this year?

I hope you will give away a random act of kindness this Christmas season. Share the love of Christ with everyone you meet and keep the joy of Christmas in your heart as long as you can.

Congratulations to all the winners thus far and don't forget there are still a few giveaways still open.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing. The birds are singin'. The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up. So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound. It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year. Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach. 'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before. Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada. Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila. The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings. It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
