Power The Holidays With Duracell #PowerTheHolidays

Christmas is right around the corner, 34 days to be exact. In a picture-perfect world, I would be at-home baking desserts for Thanksgiving Dinner with all my Christmas gifts purchased and put away, not a worry in the world. But this is real life and every time I look at a calendar, I freak out. I'm no where near ready for the massive Thanksgiving dinner I need to cook much less have Christmas gifts purchased. My kids are ready though. They have gone through all the toy books that have come in the mail and marked up what they want. I do think they went a bit overboard but I guess only time will tell what Santa actually brings them! One thing I do know for sure is that we will need batteries, lots and lots of batteries! We are always running out and there has been a Christmas or two (or three) in the past where presents have been opened and there aren't any batteries to put in them.

No joy in these faces when they can't play with their new toys. I'm over it so this year I am ready. I already have some batteries on hand. I know I will need more but for now I am covered. You know what else? If I buy a toy for anyone this year, I am going to tape the required number of batteries onto the toy box. That way no other parent has to be tortured by their child on Christmas morning for forgetting the batteries! 

Power the Holidays this year with Duracell batteries!

Let's be honest with each other: How many times have you forgotten to buy batteries for Christmas morning?

Sharing More of Amberly's Talents

Amberly is an artist. Her life revolves around arts, crafts, color and design. Her newest creations: dresses for her dolls made from Play-Doh. Play-Doh has been her favorite toy since she was a toddler (she is now 8). She doesn't get tired of playing with it and is always creating something new. This weekend, she decided that her dolls needed a new wardrobe.

After a while, her dad decided to start taking pictures of the dolls on a green board (green screen) so he could show her how to add them onto different backgrounds and possible animate them. 

The are still working on the computerized fashion show so hopefully, I will have that for you soon. This child is so awesome and I am in complete awe of her talents!!
