So what am I doing today? See you don't really want to know. lol I'm going to be taking my 6 year old and 2 year old out to get photos done. I know all the mothers reading are cringing right now. We have an appointment at 4pm. I have the 2 year old napping so hopefully that will help. The 6 year old is either hard headed or not listening. I think the moment you put a Christmas tree up a child's brain starts to malfunction and all they can think of is Santa..Santa..Santa! She is in her room cleaning it. Maybe I can convince her that Santa will reward her for waxing the floor? Nahh too much. I just love how a kid's mind works, but alas it is not fair to manipulate it. *sigh* We have 22 days to wait, aww to have no concept of time. Well I've babbled on to get to this point. I wanted to share a coupon I hunted down for my photo fun. Blah. Prayers are needed. lol

Have a great day!

Review: How to Be Famous by Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt

Have you heard of these two? I know right, the laughs begin or the eyes start to roll the moment I think of them. But I have to admit over the years the infamous Speidi has grown on me. But I have often asked myself why are these people everywhere I look? They have to have some kind of magic potion. They are not actors or sports stars they're just reality stars. Sub-characters to boot! I was curious really curious. Honestly I've thought, I need a bottle of what they are using or at least an instruction guide. lol Leave to Speidi to come through for me! They've written a book folks one that chronicles their rise to the top. With quirky tidbits on how to "unlock the secrets of celebrity couple math" to ways to "Increase your capacity for evil with Spencer's "Villain-o-meter". The entire book is very tongue in cheek. You'll walk away from it with a lot more 'like' for these two I promise whether it be like or dislike is up too you though. They really cracked me up. The book was a huge page turner complete with pictures. I don't know about you but I love pictures. All I could do was laugh and shake my head at their shameless, no apologees guide to fame. I recommend you pick one up and pass it along to a friend. We all need a good laugh and these two once again deliver! If you're too shy to buy one at the local bookstore I suggest picking one up online. They retail for $19.99, Spencer says that's about 4 OK! Magazines lol.

I want to thank the great people of the Hachette Book Group for the opportunity to review this book. Also a huge thanks to The Product Review Place for connecting me with this sponsor.

Disclaimer: I was not compensated for my review of this book. I received a free copy to review which did not effect my opinion or this review. These are my opinions ones that you may not share.

Tis the Season for Christmas Specials!

Tis the Season, Remember the Reason!

It has begun at The Halton Mom househould. Hallie and Colton have gotten into the Christmas spirit very quickly. My daughter even began to run around cleaning to make the nice list. My 2 year old couldn't stop screaming, "A tree! a tree!" I even felt the need to make my blog a little more festive. I sincerely hope each of you are blessed this holiday season. Good luck in your giveaways, happy travels, and don't forget the reason for the season.
