How many children do you have and what are their genders/ages? 1 girl, 3.5 months-old
- Did you have a pet name/nickname as a child? If so, what was it: I was called Reese for short (pronounced Ree-cee)
- By what pet name/nickname do you call your child(ren): Boogie
- If you could be a bird or a fish, which would you choose and why: I have a fear of water so I'd be a bird. I think I would enjoy flying.
- What animal best describes your kid(s): Marlie is definitely a cat. She likes to stretch, curls up when she sleeps, loves to drink milk, and scratches you with her claws.
- What was your favorite TV sitcom growing up: I had so many...Saved by the Bell and The Cosby Show were #1 on my must-see TV list.
- How about your favorite Saturday morning cartoon: I loved to watch The Smurfs, Thundercats, He-Man and Jem (she's truly outrageous!). I still watch cartoons...the ones with satirical, political or dark humor like Boondocks, Family Guy, Futurama, South Park
- What TV shows do your kid(s) enjoy: Marlie is too young to have a favorite television program (thank goodness!), but she does stare at the screen when I am watching. I need to cut back on the amount of TV I watch so she doesn't develop my bad viewing habits.
- Have you finished your holiday shopping? Did you shop online or brave the crowds at the stores: I am not doing any holiday shopping this year...it's too stressful with a new baby and a part of me is weary of the commercialization of the season. Next year, I'm going to make handmade crafts as gifts (if I learn to knit or sew as planned).
- What was the best present you ever received and what was the occasion: Last year, we found out that I was pregnant with Marlie six days before Christmas. That was the best gift ever!
- If you could spend this holiday anywhere in the world, where would you go: I would be on the next plane to Jamaica without hesitation. I wouldn't even pack, just take my passport and my debit card because I have to eat!

I hardly did any holiday shopping this year, and don't plan on it. I've been blessed to have enough for the kids already, I only bought a couple of things for them.
My son and I are making cookies and craft ornaments to hand out for gifts. We bought little celophane Christmas bags ($1.50 for 20 bags!) and tags that you tie on for them to make them festive and I think because he will have made them, they will be special gifts for everyone!
I used to watch too much TV but I don't anymore, although I probably spend too much time on the internet...
Love the nickname!
Jem was the best!
I used to love She-Ra (He-Man's sister? cousin? friend?) too. You had to find this colorful little cat hidden in every episode. I was entertained and I had an assignment too. Loved it!
Love your list!! #9 THE present!!!!. #10 WOW!
love and
hugs hugs
@AccidentalMommy: I love the idea of making homemade ornaments...I'm going to steal (I mean borrow this idea for next year)!
Cool idea! Thanks for the visit to my blog. I will definitely be back to yours!
You really brought back a lot of memories with the Smurfs. I was actually on a softball team called The Smurfettes when I was 8. LOL. I loved the LaffOlympics and Scooby Doo.
And last year my daughter and I made sugar cookies for EVERYONE, friends, family and my co-workers. I let her decorate with sprinkles and chocolate chips. We got some cute baked good christmas bags from the dollar store and some ribbon and went to town.
We added in a cute picture of her to top it off and I took her with me on the deliveries and my folks loved it. Besides being economical, many people love thoughtful gifts made with love.
This year we're doing chocolate candy lollipops - found a recipe in Real Simple.
I love your talk show idea. Keep it going. If you get a chance, I'd love it if you checked out my first video blog. I was nervous, but I think it turned out okay. And there's a giveaway for a child included.
Wishing you a stress-free holiday season!!
Oh gosh, those Saturday morning TV shows brought back some memories. I used to love the Smurfs! How about Fragglerock, do you remember them? LOL
Thanks for sharing.
PS, I think I would like to be a bird too. I dream a lot about flying.
DAWN
I just love getting to know more about you. It is really neat!
I wanted to drop in and let you know how much it means to me that you continue to come by often and leave such sweet words of encouragement for me. I appreciate it so much, I really do. I have been having such a really rough time lately, so reading all the sweet comments I've received has really helped lift my spirits. :0) Thank you so much for your kindness and your friendship.
I pray you and your precious family enjoy a wonderfully blessed Christmas season.

Teresha! I just started back crocheting after many many years! I wanted to do hand made presents but I started too late.
If you're serious about starting, check out ravelry.com and let me know. I'd be glad to buddy with you!
