Elf on the Shelf 2012 – Day 22
More cards are on the Christmas card mittens now than in the picture. So our Elf on the Shelf is a bit more hidden. They will still find him in record time. I think I should tie their shoes to the mittens and maybe they will find them too! If only our Elf on the Shelf, … [Read more...]

Why Do We Blog?
I posted on Facebook today that I was surprised the Keurig winner just wrote "thank you" in the email they sent me. Maybe it wasn't fair to compare that to the email we received earlier this week from a coupon winner that wrote two paragraphs thanking us for the $5 free product … [Read more...]
Not so Merry Christmas from the Bulldog Puppy!

Today, our Elf on the Shelf was predictable and landed in the tree. Oddly enough it took the kids longer to find our Elf on the Shelf but honestly it wasn't long enough for me to actually wake up this morning. I have decided that one of few benefits that the Elf on the Shelf … [Read more...]

We went a little easy yesterday and our Elf on the Shelf hid on mantle. See him? Yeah, here is where I will admit it took me about 5 times longer to find him than it took the kids. How the heck do they find him so freakin' fast?! I just don't understand how they can find the Elf … [Read more...]
