A while back, I was looking for some things to add to the extra wall space that was created when Alex moved from his crib to his big boy bed. I saw these really cool robot wall clings (I'm kind of obsessed with robots these days), but they were too expensive so I decided to make my own. I found some really cute robot png files I downloaded from Designer Digitals and then printed them off on Post-it picture paper. We had used this paper to make signs to stick on the wall for Mia's birthday party and had some left over. It's awesome because it sticks well, but it's re-positionable and doesn't peel the paint off! Instant, cheap wall decals! We gave these to Alex for Christmas and he LOVES them.

They were such a hit, in fact, that my daughter insisted on having some of her own.

Congratulations Heidi - you're the winner of the Rock Candy Guitar Giveaway! 

The MOM Rock Candy Electric Guitar  Giveaway so exciting. Thanks to Daisy Rock Guitars and to all the fun responses to our big question:  What is your favorite holiday song?

Winning Comment #16  = Heidi Minten Dec. 17, 2009 at 2:40 pm "Hands down for me it is “Mary Did You Know” every year I have to buy another artist version of the song off ITunes. The part in Mary Did You Know that touches me is where it says: Mary did you know that when you kiss your baby boy you kiss the face of God. It really makes you ponder the wonder of Jesus and his birth."

If you hit the road to grandma's house for Christmas, packing is a big issue. I can relate - we used to travel from one grandparent house to the next to celebrate the holidays.

What to pack:

• Clothes for the kids, but not too many because they'll be getting gifts
• Toys for the kids, but not too many because they'll be getting gifts
• Favorite blankets and pillows
• Gifts from you for the kids to open on Christmas, but keep hidden now
• Gifts for everyone else

Now the car is full and I think I've remembered everything. Not until later do I realize that I forgot my stuff. No underwear or pajamas. Are you kidding me? I would never forget underwear for the kids! Here's an idea to help you remember your important things, and to help you keep them in a special place. Just for mom - or for a great gift from mom. Travel accessories from Lapin Vilardi.

Best foot forward package: The shoe carryall, lingerie and laundry bag with lavender sachet set is the perfect gift for a shoe junkie. (prize package is different fabric: gorgeous purple with pink flowers) Good things, small packages The Palm Springs Cosmetic set is perfect for any girl on the go. This set includes one coin, one pencil and one make up carryall.

Winter break starts soon. Here are some fun ideas to keep the kids busy- and a chance to win an exciting Pajaggle Board Game!

Cabin Fever Activities

• Set out a table full of craft supplies and have the kids make Christmas cards for their friends. They'll love to keep in touch during the break.
• Can you say Thank You cards?
• Play a game! Kids can play Pajaggle with the family, with friends and by themselves. It's a great gift idea - and a great solution for cabin fever. What is Pajaggle? Play online now.
