The holidays officially begin this week—Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! Before we fully digest our turkey and pecan pie, Black Friday sales kick off the shopping season, gathering steam like a fast-moving train on a collision course with Christmas.

I hope to handle my shopping early and well so I can slow down and relish the season. Family is my 2017 word of the year and I want to spend my time with them, not racing around like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off.

Two things that stress me out at Christmas are missing the sales and trying to figure out what to buy. Hopefully I can help you in both of these areas by sharing my new Amazon Page and some great DaySpring sales!

My Amazon Page

I’m excited to share my new Amazon page with you—I’ve had so much fun adding to it! It contains a mix of favorite items we own and others from our wish lists. I plan to update it often.

Here are some sample items. Click the pics to visit their Amazon pages.


Ravensburger’s Labyrinth game is not only an old favorite for my family, but the most popular board game on Amazon. Rearrange the maze and open new passages as you slide in new tile pieces and move around the board in search of treasure. You can play a game in only 20-30 minutes! Designed for 2-4 players.


I love my little Tea Forte PUGG 24oz Ceramic Teapot in the Spring Grass design. It’s perfect for brewing with Harney and Sons tea sachets, which make two cups. I’m also smitten with the Cherry Blossom and Lotus designs.


This HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer connects to your phone via bluetooth and prints your photos on 2″x3″ sticky-backed paper. It comes in white, black, blue, red, and purple.


I once saw a stylish young lady at church carry this VW Camper Bus Shoulder/Messenger Bag and I’ve wanted one ever since. If you don’t prefer red, scroll down the page at Amazon and you’ll see blue, green, and orange options.
