I have a huge secret to tell you. One that you'll want to remember now that Black FRIDAY is happening on Thanksgiving. Did you know that most stores put their Black Friday pricing up online as well?

Pot luck style where everyone brought some BBQ / Picnic style food dishes. We started the tradition because we were sick of fighting crowds of crazy parents and big kids to allow our little ones to find Easter eggs. There are parents that will push and shove your small child out of the way to help their child get a silly plastic egg. … [Read more...]
