it's beginning to look a lot like ... the holiday season!

Okay so for those of you who celebrate Christmas, the big day is coming pretty soon. That means, you guessed it! time to buy gifts!
Who has time to read a 20-paragraph blog entry when you need all the time you got shopping to do?
Okay so I have rounded up some online marketplace to find the absolute best bargains this Christmas season!

Happy shopping!!

1. www.etsy.com
---> THE coolest online marketplace to buy (almost) everything handmade!!! It's easy to find one-of-a-kind gift at this marketplace. A very neat place. My personal favorite.

2. www.amazon.com
---> looking for the latest and greatest new Canon lens for bargain? you'd probably find it here. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can get most stuff shipped to you next day for a small fee or free  with 2-day shipping option. I buy anything from books to flea meds for my dogs on amazon.

3. www.ebay.com
---> nothing feels like winning a bidding on eBay...or if you're an impatient like me, there is the "buy it now" option for most things you want to buy

4. www.overstock.com
---> from super-sized rug to a brand new dining table set for Christmas...they got it! and what's better is that during the holiday season they ship FREE!

5. www.craigslist.com
---> Okay, you can't really buy anything online here but this is the place for more like the i-want-it-now type person out there to find things they like locally. All you have to do is search for what you are looking to buy, call/email the seller, set-up an appointment, bargain, take home your prize! Holiday season is really a good time to bargain at craigslist when most people are desperate to sell their stuff to get some extra money (ironically, to buy more/newer stuff).

have a marvelous Thanksgiving....

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving....
Audrey and I are spending the long weekend in Orlando. I am taking her to Disney again. Her favorite place in the whole world---for now.

I am so very excited. This vacation, like the many last vacations I had, is just going to be me and the little Bee. We're so happy together. Spending time together. She and I love holding hands walking through the theme parks. Her eyes lit so brightly soon as she sees one of the Disney characters. She adores Cinderella (I mean, who doesn't??). She thinks the castle is the grandest thing she ever saw. She refers the baloons as "the moon". She loves telling me: "mommy, dreams come true"

We'll be busy at Disney this weekend, so Audrey and I would like to wish all of you a magical Thanksgiving celebration! I definitely have  many to be thankful for this Thanksgiving (or everyday for that matter.....).

Hello August!

Oh my goodness. The first week of August has passed already! Where did the time go?
Actually, if I can be honest...I am excited to welcome the holiday season this year! I've started making a list of things I want to get for myself this Christmas heheh. And I also have a checklist made for things I'd like to accomplish before the year ends.
So so excited!
I know for sure, amazing things will happen to my life soon :)
