Shop.com
I have found my new favorite place to shop online. Why do you ask? I just found the best deal ever on a Leapster 2 by using Shop.com. Now, Leapster 2s on their own run around $79.99, so when I saw this one, I got super excited. See, this one with a game is $79.99! This gets even better too! If you look closely at the Leapster, it is Star Wars! Now, Madison is a Star Wars freak, so I can only imagine how excited she would be to see this under the Christmas tree from Santa! I am excited, and this isn’t even for me. Also, because it black, this can easily be passed down from Madison to Will. I don’t have to worry about hearing that it’s a girl color! (Yes, I am thinking that far ahead).
Now, Shop.com has over 2,000 stores, so you can definitely find something for everyone there. You can type just about anything in the search engine on there, and it’ll pull it up. You will see all the stores that carry that item plus how much each one wants for it. I also love that purchases can be made using one universal “shopping cart” to buy everything at one time or by clicking over to participating merchants’ sites. You can easily get all your Christmas shopping done at one site and know you are getting the best price! I love that this takes some of the time and stress off me. I love that I found her present, and I was just browsing through the toys! Shop.com also has expert advice, shopping tips, and articles. My only complaint is that you can’t search through the toys by age (which is important when you have an 18 month old, since he still sticks everything in his mouth).
If you want a one stop shop for your Christmas shopping this year, Shop.com should be it. See you there, because I am going to do some more shopping!

Santa & Macy’s Team Together
Sometimes companies really do get it right, and Macy’s certainly has this year. They have teamed up with Santa and the Make-A-Wish Foundation this Christmas. At all Macy’s stores, there will be a special mailbox for your kids to drop off their letters to Santa. For every letter collected, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish Foundation up to $1 million dollars. My cousin was given a wish from the Make-A-Wish, so I truly do understand what a difference this charity can make in someones life. This is such a good cause that I hope you all write letters this year, so such a good charity can benefit!
Toys For The Basement
As Christmas nears, we are starting to figure out what we should get for our newly remodeled basement. We think Santa may bring Will a train table for down there, since Madison has a nice wooden train and track, and we really have no place for the kids to play with it. That being said, daddy would love to get a pool table for down there. We actually know exactly where we would put it. Once the main things is that the pool table felt would definitely have to match the rest of the basement. I think I would go with a basic blue like Border Billards has. Having played in many pool halls, I have learned that it is defintely important to have good quality felt on your table, since there is definitely a lot of wear and tear (literally) involved. When the felt starts wearing out, it definitely effects your game. Of course, if I do let Bill get a pool table there will definitely be some extra that will have to bought like pool cues, pool cue chalk, pool table covers, pool balls, etc.
Any other suggestions for the basement? I personally would love a dart board too, but I really don’t want to put holes in my new walls!
