    January Giveaway

    WOW!! My first Giveaway in 2020!?!  REALLY???  Now I’ll really show my age here but …….. in high school 2020 sounded like it was SO far away! I mean hello…… I’ll practically be dead! Seriously, 60 sounded like a really OLD persons age. 61?! Hello? Would I have a blanket around my shoulders, be knitting blankets be in a rocking chair ….. wait… that’s a bad example because I WOULD love a rocking chair on my porch and I am slightly addicted to knitting. I did think we would have flying cars……. course if you’ve ever seen me on the road….. I kinda do fly. What about you? Did you have any crazy expectations about the year 2020?? Happy New Year little Peanuts!! I hope the year is full of amazing things for us all! GIVEAWAY TIME!!! I truly am thankful you stop by! Most of you everyday. I am blown away by your support!!

    Giveaway logo

    Imagine MY surprise when Alexa told me it was December 1st.  SAY WHAAAA?!?!? So, yes the monthly giveaway is a few hours late.  Seriously, this retirement thing means I have lost all sense of time. Here is my monthly update. Deck FINISHED!!! All the way!! All the way to the stain even!! Even more exciting is that the BBQ is finally out of my kitchen!!!!!!!!! I was so tired of that big eye sore sitting there since May. Barn. UP done. HUGE!! (there is a shadow on the barn so look UP!)  Tractor and 4×4 safely nestled inside. This thing is monstrous!! The Husband even has a workshop area! Course until the stove get’s installed it’s a tad on the chilly side in there. Like 1°. Truthfully, he’s been good enough to stay inside lately. (insert evil laugh here! AND a snicker) We’ve been cleaning up the yard too. Seem that contractors are a messy bunch. So, lots and LOTS of scraps of wood, a million pounds of nails. Yup, that was a whine. Since there has been constant construction around here I have done zip-zero-nadda in yard work so the weeds are knee high. So we’ve worked on that…

  • gocustomized Personalized Phone Case GIVEAWAY!!!!! #gocustomized

    Customized phone case

    OHMMMMGEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Wait till you see the giveaway I have for you today!! Let’s start out with a whine first shall we?? Yes, we shall. Why are cell phones so dang expensive?! Why must they make new models with features  I MUST have!?! WHY!??! For the longest time I had a Samsung Galaxy S8. A perfectly lovely little phone. Took great pictures. Blah blah blah…. Then after several drop tests my perfectly lovely little phone said ‘screw you; I’m out.’  After dealing with crackling phone calls, calls that sounded like The Husband had locked me in a tunnel and a shattered screen I went phone shopping. Now, I know what you are thinking…… Connie dropped it until IT DID break just to get a new phone. Now, while this is something that I totally would do!  I didn’t this time. HONEST!! So, now lucky me; I am sporting a new Galaxy S9. Which I swear to you, cost more than my first car!! This time I am determined to protect my new investment. Which meant a super ugly phone case at the Sprint store. However, it was on sale and would do the job blah, blah, blah. And it has. I…

  • Annual UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER GIVEAWAY!!! #GIVEAWAY #Uglyxsweater

    Ugly Christmas Sweater

    Oh yeah baby, I get to host ANOTHER Ugly Christmas Sweater GIVEAWAY!!!  Can I get a whoop whoop!!  Y’all know that I’ve been a fan of the The Ugly Christmas Sweater store for YEARS. I’ve been lucky enough to do reviews and giveaways with them since 2013. I STILL love this store. I STILL love the quirky things they have. Once again, I declare it’s the BEST Ugly Christmas Sweater store in the WORLD. Yeah, I said it. IN THE WORLD! HA! I dare you to argue with me…… but DENIED. This mama Peanut declares it so. If at all possible, I’m more excited about this year’s giveaway than previous years because ya know Christmas in Sandpoint, Idaho is way different than Christmas in Southern California!! 60 miles from Mexico vs 60 miles from Canada (do I know how to go to extremes or WHAT?!) I’ve been telling you since 2013 that the UglyChristmasSweater.com has an amazing selection of funny, UGLY, silly, and sweet sweaters too.  There are t-shirts, lounge pants and pajamas. Yes, again this year one very lucky Peanut will be able to shop for their perfect Christmas sweater (ugly or not). With the HUMONGOUS selection I imagine you’ll have…
