It's been a few weeks since Easter, and as always we are neck deep in empty Easter eggs! Each year I try to think of something fun to do with them.

When is the Last Day to Mail Christmas Gifts?
Each year I vow to complete my Christmas shopping and shipping early. This year I vowed to get it done no later than the first weekend in December. Did that happen? That's a big fat NOPE!
