My absolute favorite chocolate is Ferrero Rocher. There is just something special about that little ball of chocolate and hazelnuts…
But Ferrero isn’t just about chocolates. For the 2nd year now, the Ferrero Company has partnered with Share Our Strength, one of the nation’s leading organizations working to make sure no child in America grows up hungry.
Ferrero has donated $150,000 to Share Our Strength and is giving others a chance to add to that donation.
Right now, if you log on to Share Something Sweet and use it to “send something sweet” (a customizable e-card), Ferrero will donate another $1 per e-card sent, up to $10,000.
Also, for every person that joins the Ferrero Facebook page, “Ferrero Lovers Unite”, Ferrero will donate another $1 to Share Our Strength.
After your done sending your e-card, take the fun chocolate personality quiz. I am a Ferrero Rocher- sweet, charming, and lovable

Christmas time at Disney World is quite possibly one of the most magical experiences anyone can have.
I am lucky enough to be spending 3 days at Disney World with my family to take in all the decorations, events, and magic that Disney creates during this special time.
I will be live blogging/twittering and posting pictures and video of our entire trip. If you ever wanted to experience what Disney World is like around the Holidays, this is your chance!
We will be staying at All Star Music Resort (first time staying here) since we got an awesome passholder rate of $54 a night!
Monday the 15th we are checking in and then visiting the Epcot World Showcase to see all the countries decorated for Christmas.
Monday evening hopefully I will have a special surprise thanks to @leannej who helped me out through twitter.
Tuesday will be a day at the Magic Kingdom where we will finally meet Tinkerbell and shop the shops on Main Street. That evening will end with a viewing of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Our final day will be at Downtown Disney where we will get pictures taken with Santa!
I can’t wait!

I won’t even tell you who left the giblet bag in the turkey…it wasn’t me.

Here’s a clue. Not the munchkin.

My mom making…

her famous green bean casserole.

My sugar-free, low-carb pumpkin pie. No one ate it but me.

Typical Nicole.

What I am most thankful for, being a mom to this little girl.

It finally happened. My daughter cut her own hair.
My heart about skipped a beat when I saw the chunck of hair on the floor.
It is my fault because I trusted my 4 year old daughter with scissors. They are kid scissors even.
She is allowed to cut shapes out of paper as she does at school. I was on the phone with my mother walking around the house, when I re-entered the room I saw the big chunk of hair right there on the tile.
She didn’t even try to hide it. Apparently she wanted bangs.
I am thankful it was not a lot worse…

Needless to say, no more scissors for 4 year old.
