  1. I was just checking my list. I think I just need to send a niece and nephew amazon gift cards to be finished!

     

    I wasn't sure what to buy my in-laws. My mil had emergency gall bladder surgery this evening. I decided to put together a photo album of our family as their Christmas gift and not wait for her birthday in January. My in-laws are getting older....

  2. Do you have anything that your brother has written? I bought my mom a keychain with her late mother's writing on it.

    I cannot wait to give it to her. They have jewelry, too. Mine came in the mail a few days ago and it is just beautiful.

     

    This is a wonderful idea. I'm sure your gift will be cherished.

     

    OP, I'm sorry for your loss.

  3. We did! We use to make gingerbread cookies for neighbors and read gingerbread cookie story books and a book about the real St. Nicholas. The kids would receive a small gift to celebrate.

     

    This year, for the first time, my ds owes me money. I took a tradition from my childhood and had Santa pay his debt. Every year growing up, I would love to search the bottom of my stocking for a "Santa paid your debt note".

     

    My dd missed The Grinch television special so she watched it this morning on Amazon.

     

    Happy St. Nicholas' Day!

  4.  TargetPhoto.com where you can score 35% off Personalized Monopoly and Scrabble games when you enter the promo code THANKS35 at checkout (expires 12/4/16). Even sweeter, these games are currently on sale for $29.95 (regularly $49.95) so just $19.50 each after the code THANKS35 at checkout! Note that economy shipping is $3.95 for one game or just $4.95 for 2 games!

     

    Thanks! My dad's 70th birthday is coming up so I made him a photo scrabble game with photos of the grandkids "playing" with their Papa.

  5. I haven't heard of it this year, but they do have $10 off a $25 book purchase today (maybe this weekend??) with promo code HOLIDAYBOOK.

     

    Oops...mommyoffive already posted this.  :o

     

     

    Kohl's has pillows for $2.99 and throw blankets for $8.99 (regular $39.99, with 4.5 star ratings). I'm not going out shopping, but you can buy online and pick up in store later for free, or get free shipping with over $50 in purchases. 

     

    Thanks! I ordered books and two throw blankets. My dh and I need some for our bed.

  6. My very favorite form factor was the 4s, and I looked at getting a 5s, but did not...because the 5s will have a shorter life span, as Apple drops support for their phones after a couple of generations.  I would go to the 6s if you can afford it over the 6 for that reason.  My son used to have a 4 and I had a 4s.  His had a life span a full year shorter than mine.

     

     

    I agree. If you want to use it for years, then go with the 6 or 6s.

  7. I wouldn't recommend gluten-free flours until you've been off wheat flour for quite a while.

     

    We make pumpkin pie without the crust. Bake at 425* for 15 min., top with 3/4 tsp cinnamon, cut butter, brown sugar then bake at 350* for another 40-45 minutes. It makes a crunchy top.

     

    My dd really likes these: http://marinecorpsnomads.com/2013/10/flourless-smore-cookies.html

     

    Hope you find some new goodies to enjoy!

     

  8. Still making one short beep or chirp. We're trying this from another forum and looking up info on the old alarm system:

     

    1) Take down all the smoke detectors. IF you have a CO monitor also hard wired, take it down as well.

    2) For each detector, open the battery compartment so that there is no power to the detector. Hold down the test button until all beeping stops to drain the capacitor. The detectors usually have a capacitor that holds some charge even after disconnected from power and battery.

    3) Close the battery compartment so that the detector is running on battery alone. If it starts to chirp, repeat with a new battery. If it chirps with a new, good battery, try blowing dust out of the detector and repeating. If it still chirps, get a new detector.

    4) Once all detectors are working on battery power, connect them to power one by one. If the detector starts to chirp, then try a different detector in that location. If both chirp you probably have a wiring problem or connector issue at that location. If one chirps but the other does not, you probably have a wiring or connector problem on the chirping detector.

  9. We double checked to see if there was a reset and tested each one. My husband just called and said this happened a year ago and it was the house alarm. ???? We took the battery of that when we moved in years ago. I guess it's wired electrically. He couldn't remember how to turn it off unfortunately. I pushed a bunch of buttons on the old alarm key pad. I don't see a serial number to look it up.
