Santas little helper

I might me biased but I think this is the best first Santa picture ever!

So Christmas is right around the corner, okay well I guess Thanksgiving is first but all I'm thinking about is shopping, shopping, shopping for the big day!! I was never a big online shopper before. I just always thought it was dumb to spend money on the shipping when you can just go to the store and pay the regular price, plus actually see what its like in person (pictures online can be very deciving!). Well once again I have put my foot in my mouth. Kind of happens alot, like how I used to say how horrible it was to be young having babies and not being married, living together, Oh how horrible those people were! Yeah ummmmm... oops :)
Hey I have learned ALOT in the past 2 years to say the least!!
So anyways back to the shopping, online that is. Well I'm here to say it is THE.BEST.THANG.EVER!! (besides being young and having babies hehehe) I have to admit that about 70% of the shopping I have done this year has been online and I've maybe spent 10.00 total for shipping!! Thats crazy if you could see all I have bought!

Andddddd the deals! Oh My Lord the deals are endless! Seriously become a member to any website and boy do they hook you up! Not all deals are the greatest but for the most part there are sooo many ways to work around free shipping, 30, 40, 50% off, even major steals were you can double up coupons and get things for free.. Yes I said it FREE!! My favorite word ever, free. I mean just saying that word, typing the word, or reading free on something makes me giddy! Loser I know go ahead say it but I dont care because this mama is saving that mula left and right and that my friends is so worth being a weirdo!

This is a big change for me. Ask anyone that knew me before Branson and they would tell you the girl that typed all that above was no way Kinzie. She doesnt even look at prices on tags. She wants it, she buys it. I have been VERY blessed to have a father and mother who work super hard to make sure I have always had the things I needed and wanted. Spoiled, yes I know, but in noooo way do I take or have taken anything for granted! As much as I had, is just as much as I would share with others! If any of my friends needed something or wanted it lol I would get it for them. It has ALWAYS made me happy to give to others! I hope that I can teach those same quailities that my parents taught me to my children. Its kinda crazy that I can even see those quailities in Branson at one and a half. He LOVES to share and would share any of his toys to other kids. He loves to share any food or drink he has. It makes my heart melt to see that. One proud mama right here.  


I love to give gifts to others and christmas is no exception! I might go alittle crazy and buy too much but let me tell ya the look on their faces when they open my gift and truly enjoy it. Puts a huge smile on my face and makes it all worth it. I love spending time with my family. We laugh so hard and love even harder! I am so blessed to have such a large wonderful family to share my holidays with.

  1. I took my little guy to go see Santa earlier this week. Might as well do it early and beat the long lines later!

    I've never been a big fan of on line shopping. I like to see and feel what I'm buying. I'm trying to convince my husband to go with me on black Friday. (Of course, baby will NOT be shopping at that crazy hour!)

  2. I don't even think Santa is out yet at our malls but maybe I should check that out because that is a brillant idea! No long lines = one happy mama not having to contain her wild toddler for an hour! haha
    Oh and Black Friday is a MUST around here! I usually go with girl friends but this year I'll be with my in laws. MIL and SIL that is! Should be super fun!
