Waverly for the Holidays with a Special Treat for YOU!

[ 2 ] December 15, 2010 | Shelley Zurek

Introducing the Waverly Collection by Hefty!

The Waverly Collection, exclusively at Walmart!

Just in time!

Now for the holidays, we are pleased to announce the launch of the new line of Waverly™ Collection by Hefty! This great new line of disposable tableware delivers the beauty and design of Waverly with the strength and durability of Hefty. Still Blonde after all these YEARS was asked to help in the launch of this new grouping which features a full collection of Waverly tableware, including plates, cups, and napkins. With the Holidays just around the corner, the Waverly™ Collection will be exclusive to major Wal-Mart stores, making them a more durable and price-friendly alternative to the patterned disposable tableware found in party specialty stores.

Chief Blonde Remarks: Not only were we asked to help announce this great line of paper products but we have a treat for our readers, as well! Waverly Collection by Hefty has provided a new printable coupon for buy-2-get-1-free that can be found at http://www.facebook.com/Hefty.WaverlyTableware ! We just love the quality and colors of this line of paper products. I feel like the tableware should be from one of those really little exclusive boutique stores not from a large scale retailer like Walmart. I am definitely using the products that they sent me for Christmas day. All the beauty of the day, without all the clean-up! Wow! You can see the whole line in detail here: Waverly Table Fashions.

Blog Note: This product line was just introduced at Walmart this month, and we wanted you to be one of the first to know. We did not receive any compensation for this post, we received products to review. The opinions are are own. We only recommend products that we LOVE!

Baby Birds who come Home to the Roost for Christmas! Women over 45

[ 2 ] December 14, 2010 | Shelley Zurek

Are your Children coming Home Sooner Than You Imagined?

It’s that time of Year! College-age and Adult Children are deciding their plans for the Holiday. They seem to fall into 2 categories:

1) Baby Birds who come home to roost for Christmas

2) Baby Birds who fly away for Christmas

Today we are going to talk about, Birds (Children) who come Home for the Christmas Holidays! What can you do to reduce the Stress?

1) Shop, Bake,and Freeze.

Grocery Shop early. Bake lots of the kids favorite foods early. Freeze it all so you can thaw it during the holidays and enjoy your family and not be a slave to the Kitchen!

2) Shop, Bag, and Store.

Shop for presents Early. Don’t wrap any presents, just put them in bags with tissue paper (a real time saver). You can find cheap bags at the dollar store. Once you have invested in these bags, use them every year for extra savings. Also, if you really want to save time and money when shopping for gifts or Christmas items, check out online shopping opportunities, consider discounts from Christmas Central!

3) Old and New.

Keep the old Christmas traditions, your children will just love that. If you always play outdoor football or hockey, don’t stop just because they’ve grown. Make new traditions for the adult in them–maybe a fancy dinner out or a holiday cocktail served with the big Christmas meal.

4) Breathe in, Stress Out.

Remember your college age kids and adult children have stresses of their own: Finals, new jobs, bills, etc. They are often coming to your home, to recapture the carefree feelings of youth. Make sure that’s the spirit they find. Not some cranky, over 45 year old woman who is ranting on about “all she had to do”. Take a breathe, take the females for a spa treat or do in home manicures. Laugh and Enjoy. Order pizza or make it. No one needs all those fancy complicated fattening food anyway!
