I hope each of you are having a wonderfully peaceful and joyous Christmas today. I am enjoying the day with my family in sunny Florida. Except for the fact that rain is on the forecast for today. We’ll enjoy it anyway. We already are. Merry Christmas!
Did You Know?
As a child, Christmas Eve meant a busy day of cooking, a 30-minute drive to Grandma and Grandpa’s house, and en evening of food, cousins, carols, and a very entertaining white elephant gift exchange. Christmas Eve was the best day of the year. Much more exciting than Christmas Day. I knew things would change once…
The Spirit of Christ(mas)
Brandie from the Rudy Family Rukus is a mom of 3 (you’ve GOT to check out the gorgeous pictures of her family), a fantastic blogger, nurse, and scrap-booker. She’s also a genuine, friendly person. She shared this video with her readers last weekend, and was kind enough to re-post it here for me here while…
Three Ways to Enjoy Christmas in the Midst of Change
Kristina from 3 Under 4 is visiting Better in Bulk today while we finish our drive to Florida. Soon I will be relaxing on Florida’s beaches. It may not be the summer, but even 74° will feel like paradise compared to the snow that we left back home in Maryland. Kristina is a fellow Blog…
First Snow
Today we are packing up the van and heading down to Florida for a week. Through the week, I have scheduled several guest bloggers who were gracious enough to help me out during my family vacation. Allow me to introduce you to my first guest: Toni Anderson is founder of The Happy Housewife, a website…
Holiday Feast With Walmart (Gift Card Giveaway!)
I love cooking for the holidays. I have all of my traditional dishes that I have to cook every year (or it wouldn’t be the holidays!). My meal includes ham, a family-favorite potato dish, jello, rolls, beans, salad, and pies. Feeding my own family of 7 is pricey enough, but adding friends and family for…
Best of 2009
2009 brought a lot of change to my blog. Not only did I switch my blog’s name from Life is Sweet to Better in Bulk, but at the end of the year, I moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I developed strong friendships with fellow bloggers, made a trip to New York with one…
Mad Hippie: Is This Poetry, Dude?
Quick review in six-word sentences: Mad Hippie’s Repair Butter smells phenomenal. (Or should I have said “phenomenally”?) Fights against damage while building resilience. I’m talking about skin, of course. Nourishes, conditions, diminishes lines and wrinkles. . PS–Mad Hippie sent me a free sample of their repair butter to try out!
Out To Dinner
When I was anticipating my oldest daughter coming of babysitting age, I had dreams of spur-of-the-moment dates with CandyMan on weekday nights. It would be SO easy, and so cheap! No babysitter to schedule, pick up, drop off, and PAY. It would be heaven! We could go on two dates a week, go out to…
I Want to Eat Her Up (Give Me Your Best Shot!)
It wasn’t hard to pick my favorite shot of the week. A friend of mine came over with her 3 kids….some of the cutest kids on the planet who don’t have the same last name as me, as a matter of fact. Who can resist hair this color…and the CURLS? This particular shot caught my…
