My first love is (besides my family which always comes first ;) www.Gymbohaven.com - a line identification and informational site for moms who love the Gymboree brand clothing. I started the site years ago for myself but it just grew out of control and into Gymbohaven. Our newsletter goes out to 12,000+ moms right now :)
My second love is reading - as you can tell on the far right, there's tons of books I've read, reviewed, reading at the moment and wanting to read. Let me know your thoughts on them!
My last love is collecting fairies - the rocker kind. I've got the coolest collection thanks to my family and friends. Mike even got me one from England when he was stationed over there and its all pewter and stands about 12inches high.

It was really worth the time to go on, bond with the other members and share ideas and learn from the members.I hope you really like HereComestheStork!!
OK I know we all LOVE christmas lights. Even our nieghbors love glancing over and seeing what everyone else has done, driving down christmas lane and telling each other which ones we love the best. We used to have a great one in Kenosha WI where we heard carolers and it took 30-45 mins to get through all the christmas houses :)
Nowhttp://holidayspecs.com/ has brought you the best addition yet!! Make the lights dance the way you want! Put on either the Santa Claus, Northern Lights, Angels, Snowmen, Holiday Dreams and see much more than just lights!
Amber had a blast (she wears glasses too so they fit right over them!) - she took one of each and just loved them. The Santa Claus ones you see who else but Santa in every light, The Northen Lights - you see the northern light shinning bright!, Angels - you see flying angels at every point of light, Snowmen!! I LOVE this one - see little snowmen everywhere, and of course the Holiday Dreams - sugarplums dancing in our head! - different holiday images are shown.
Their inexpensive - Amber managed not to tear a single one so they hold up well and they do really work. Give them as a gift for the holiday season, grab a couple prs to drive down Christmas Lane and see all the lights differently this year or just enjoy your own christmas tree cuddled up on the couch :)
Stop giggling at the video - but its a great way to give you the idea of how they work
*Believe it or not the neighbors have christmas lights out already and we got the chance to go outside and really give them a good use!

What I received: 1 Tub 400 Pieces 20 Building Ideas
I gotta say I love the container - lol as a mom who likes to be organized, its great with a solid lid. Inside was baggies separating all the parts. No breaking pieces off a sheet (you the kind where its all attached plastic!) - they are tough little suckers no matter how hard Amber shoved them into place lol. Lots of parts so kids can build & rebuild over and over again; endless hrs of building, playing - not a toy they will get tired of.
It even came with a booklet that had tons of ideas and step by step instructions on how to build them. We picked one and tried it ourselves :) Course afterwards my husband destroyed it and is building his own creation lol
I think my husband had more fun than Amber or myself. Brought him back to his childhood :) I think it turned out nice !! The video actually shows that it works LOL - There is alot of movement in the models - wheels on cars, propeller on airplanes, our ferris wheel and there's a merry go round!!
Neat things - it works with Legos - so you can expand your Lego sets and add on with the K'nex!
The storage set (you know I Love it!) has TONS of room for more sets to be thrown in there with it.
