Trendy MommiesI know I am a bit behind, but Happy New Year! I took some time off during the holidays and with the snow storm and the kids getting back to the school/sports routine, I am just getting back into the swing of things.
This week on @980WCAP trendymommies.com report we talked wacky weather, morning routines and more….
Listen in.
Merry Christmas. If you are out at the mall today, here are some last minute shopping tips from my segment on @NECN!
Happy Shopping!
You mean you have not completed shopping yet? It’s ok…I still have some last minute gifts to get. My girls always like to head to Staples for supplies and cute items that they say they need every week!  A gift card is just what to get them. Staples not only has great office supplies but during the holidays they have great gifts – from chocolate, gift sets and of course office decor that will brighten any one’s day. If you are looking for a gift for a co-worker or a last minute gift, stop into their retail store. Here are some of the fun items from Staples (the scotch tape dispenser is the best for the dog lover in your family)
Brookstone is another favorite. (you know you stop in there every time you pass by it in the mall!)  Several years ago I bought their towel warmer (love it) and of course those remote control airplanes…. To keep your kids occupied during winter break check out their newest, fun product Sand!
THIS will keep them occupied…trust me. And it does not make a mess.
Your tween will love the bop speaker as it sticks to anything! Happy last minute shopping!
Disclosure: Brookstone and Staples sent me the above products to check out and review. All opinions are my own of course.

I thought The Massachusetts Conference For Women was great this year. I had not been in a few years so it was fun to cover the event and see lots of familiar faces. Here is a recap.

Christmas is coming so fast this year. How many of you had your decorations up by Thanksgiving? (I know all the retail stores did!) Each year we get a real tree but I really want an artificial one – one that I can decorate, cover and put away in the basement until next Christmas! It does take a while to decorate your home for the holidays. I have to admit I did start before Thanksgiving so that decorating the tree would not take so long. I think I am going to take steps each year to slowly decorate the whole house so it does not seem like such a chore! This year I did the decorating all by myself with a little help from the elves (my two kids). If you are looking for decorating help this season or are looking for help with your holiday party or staging call Gretchen at The Fancy Kind! Â
It always helps to have extra hands (and a good eye) when it comes to decorating, staging and party planning! Here are a few photos of my decorating skills!
