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.

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer. O M G This thing is amazing! I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard. I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went. I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice. I chose the Chefman Express. It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs. So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price. Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82. We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly. "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta." We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one. There were literally dozens of tamale spots. We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant. The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales. There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual Delta Hot Ta
