It was a busy week for the family this past week. A lot of last minute shopping, prepping and cooking, and packing. We had to do a lot of packing this week because we spent Christmas and New year outside of home. It’s nothing compared to a house move requiring a moving company, but it’s still tedious. But it was all worth the extra effort as we enjoyed many days with our loved ones. Speaking of moving, never do it yourself. I know it’s the “in” thing to do, DIY, but moving is a different issue. It requires professional people to do the job. If you need a moving company, trust ABF U-pack Moving with everything frommoving and storage services.
Anyway, I hope it would be like that each year. I’m actually planning an out-of-town trip for New Year 2011 this early. Yes, I’d like to avoid cramming and last minute planning for this year. I guess it would be best since the family has entrusted me with organizing major events and happenings this year. And I won’t let them down.

I was looking for a great pair of shades for our trip to Boracay this Christmas when I came across an article by Eric Hammer mentioning about cheap eyeglasses from Zenni Optical. Well, I’m not yet in the market for a pair of reading glasses but it might come in handy in the future as my eyesight is not the same as when I was younger. So I visited the site and I particularly like the line of holiday eyeglasses they are offering. For as low as $10, you’d get a decent pair of eyeglasses. Isn’t that great especially now that everyone is on a tight budget. They are high quality and yet they’re also very affordable. Nothing can beat that.

School ends this week for my son who is in college. Christmas vacation officially starts this weekend for him. But one of his teachers decided at the last minute to give the class something to do on vacation. It’s a last minute assignment and project. Of course, my kid panicked at first as he was so bent on doing nothing while on vacation. That’s why you call it vacation, right? He has to compile home and family articles. When I heard about it, I told him not to worry because I know a site that is full of such articles. He finally relaxed and slept after hearing it.

I know now what to give to friends’ newborn kids this Christmas. It would have to be organic baby clothes and I really think they would love them. It’s the perfect Christmas gift for kids up to 24 months since it’s made from natural materials and none of that synthetic ones that make baby’s skin all itchy and irritated. Now the only problem is what specific item to give. Funkoos has a lot of great cute stuff that it’s hard to choose. Should I go for the bodysuit or the sleep gown? Or both? In any case, I think any item would be much appreciated. Besides it’s the thought that counts or so they say.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dirt Devil. All opinions are 100% mine.
Have you heard about Dirt Devil Online Shopping Guide? If you are into shopping online, then you should have this guide. Christmas is just five weeks away and I’m sure all of us are rushing to do our shopping so we could focus on the meaning of Christmas once it comes. To tell you honestly, I haven’t started with mine. Although I have had my list with me for three weeks now, it has not been used yet. It’s a good thing I found this holiday guide that would help me with my shopping. I might be doing most of my gift shopping online this year. Perhaps most of my gifts would be bought online especially after reading through the guide and learning where to get discounts and coupon codes on practically everything. This guide has over 300 ways to save when online shopping. I especially love the idea of the second annual free shipping day which will happen on December 17, 2009. That should save me a lot of money. You know how much shipping costs these days. Sometimes it’s more expensive than the item itself. For the couples, you won’t have a hard time finding that perfect gift for your partner. The guide has plenty of gift suggestions for him or her. If I were you, I would go on over to DirtDevil.com and download the guide now.

I must have blogged about Christmas and shopping more than the usual these past few weeks. Sad to say, I have not followed through with my schedule. I would have been done shopping for toys for my little girl, nephews, nieces and godchildren this week but I had to finish a lot of errands this week and I didn’t quite find the time to go to the mall. Supposedly, this weekend would be devoted to buying gifts for friends but that would be delayed for another week or two. I need to prioritize the kids. Christmas is really for kids. And my grown-up friends would understand that the season is not about them. Speaking of the kids, I have to buy baby toys because two of my friends just gave birth to two cuties. Anyway, there are sales left and right. It would be nice to take advantage of those sales but I just don’t have the patience to brave crowded malls and long lines to the cashier. And have you seen the traffic these days? It’s major. Major traffic. So if you have really nothing important to do, I suggest you just stay home. I guess online shopping is my best bet to beat the Christmas rush. ThinkFastToys.com has every kind of quality toy for every kid. And they even ship for free for purchases over $49. Imagine that. I don’t have to leave home anymore. I wonder if they have toys for grown-ups.

I think Christmas shopping would be different this year. With the economic downturn and all, people would try extra hard to find the best deals. I say, coupons are helpful during these times. I even wonder sometimes why people don’t seem to take advantage of them especially now that they are all over the internet. Just try visiting Sale.com. The site offers coupons for almost every shops and stores. Nobody should buy retail anymore.

I love this particular brand, Intentional Chocolate, which embedded with specific intentions or messages of health so anyone who receives and eats it will feel all the good intentions. And now the company behind has come up with chocolate gift baskets that are perfect for Christmas. The organic gift basket contains different flavors of chocolate. There is milk and the world’s best dark chocolates and even Pure Hawaiian chocolate infused with the spiritual energy of experienced meditators personally trained with the Dalai Lama.

I love giving cookies as gifts for Christmas. I don’t bake them. I buy them from several sources and pack them nicely to give out as gifts to family and friends. Kids are different. They want toys so it is always doubly hard for me to do my Christmas shopping each year.
