Getting Ready for Christmas


Some of my readers may remember that almost 6 years ago my husband fell at work, causing him to be disabled. After workman's comp ran out our funds we had saved went quicker then his disability starting up and we ended up homeless. It was not what we had ever imagined happening. Our family made it through by faith alone. There just is no other way to explain getting through about a year and half of being homeless and then a few months in an apartment from hell to being homeless for a little over a month again before getting the apartment we have now. 

During that time few people would help and those that did I had no way of thanking except to say thank you over and over again. It was a hard time. Several people helped out with gifts, sent cards, reached out on Facebook, and even took the time to come and visit. So this Christmas after two very rough years we are sitting down and have money enough to send out Cards to those who took the time to help a family in need. 

These Woodland Animal Blank Christmas Cards are just what we needed to be able to write personal messages to those who took the time to care for a family who was going through a rough and unexpected time. I hope that these cards show the gratitude we have in the blessings these people gave to us, not knowing how truly they touched our lives.

This set of Woodland Animal Christmas Cards comes with 36 blank cards in 6 different designs, envelopes, and stickers for closing the envelopes. They can be found at the link below.

Finding Comfortable Sheets







Recently I was sent a set of King Size sheets to try from PeachSkinSheets. I don't know about you but when I am shopping for sheets once I find a set I really like. I like to stop on because once they are no longer made you have to search all over again for a set that will feel great while laying in them, that fit your bed properly without slipping off, that wash well, and that look great with your decor. 

PeachSkinSheets might be solid color sheets but they meet all of the requirements that I need in a bed sheet. The only thing I suggest is that when you launder follow directions with washing them on their own and drying as instructed for best results. With King Size anything it easy to remember but with other sizes you tend to put in extra items to fill the washer. 

My favorite little extra is the little peach zipper pull. I know it has nothing to do with the sheets but it is a cute extra. 


I am always skeptic about new sheets. Most sheets I find fit perfect the first time and then once washed, won't wit the bed, slip off of the edges, bunch up, pill up, become scratchy, and the list goes on and on till I end up just using them for rags and out more money. 



For the sheets I love I try to buy more before they sell out or stop being made in that design. We try to have solid color sheets on hand that go with all of our bedroom decor. For us that would be black, grey, white, and cream at the moment. 


PeachSkinSheets are awesome because they have lived up wash after wash, and even if I don't get to get them on the bed as soon as they are clean I find that still look great. I am from the country so a few wrinkles don't bother me, just make it a little more homier. For those who don't like wrinkles heed the directions carefully and they will never steer you wrong.

The Original PeachSkinSheets are GREAT for hot sleepers! Breathable, ultra soft, anti-pill and anti-snag bed sheets featuring thermal control and moisture management properties...warm sleepers stay cool, and cool sleepers stay cozy. The durable athletic grade performance SMART fabric wicks away moisture to keep you drier and more comfortable. Best of all, they have a luxurious 1500 Thread Count softness with a brushed PeachSkin finish on both sides. Check out all of the specks on PeachSkinSheets Here.  

PeachSkinSheets are available in the below colors. You can order free swatches HERE. Each month they have 2 Colors of the Month priced at $55 for any regular size set and $75 for Split King & Duvets. Their regular sale price is $79.95 for any size set while Split King/Adjustable Bed & Duvet specialty sizes are $99.95. PeachSkinSheets are available in Split King, Cali King, King, Queen, Full, Twin and XL Dorm Twin and XL Dorm Full.
