Another Tip of the Day

been.there.done.that! hehe

I'll have to remember that once I get everything ready to send to my missionary. I can't believe this will be our first Christmas without Chase. I'm so glad he can call us on Christmas Day. I'll be waiting by the phone for that one for sure.
 
I'm loving your tips! I feel sorry for you when I read them, but they crack me up!

Here's another tip: Know what is in the Amazon box before you let the child see you open it. Because it's annoying trying to hide a movie in the bubble tape so it'll be a surprise for Christmas. Ugh.

Oh I have another tip - Amazon related. Remove your email account from your ipad that your kids use to play games and watch Disney Channel, cuz they just might see your email notifications and see that the movies and legos you ordered for Christmas have been shipped. Yep, that happened this morning.... UGGH! Oh well, she's 10 so I guess those are definitely being tagged from mom and Dad and not the big guy!

:rofl
That happened to me with my husband. He got the Amazon shipping notice so no surprises for him for Christmas!
 
I have to tell my kids not to go on Amazon this time of year. Otherwise they see all of our shopping history. I have tried a million times to tell it not to track my history but somehow it still does. Annoying.

Oh. I never thought of that! Ugh. I wonder if they have something where you can receive "hidden" notifications, especially this time of year. I always loved American Girl for the fact they would ship their items in plain brown boxes. All it had was the return address. I loved it!

And no real tip for today, except don't clean your house (especially dust) when wearing black corduroy pants. They're now speckled with grey. Ha!

Sorry, no baking tips today. This is a Christmas-related tip.

Always remember to put all the gifts into a shipping box before taping the box shut with lots and lots of packing tape. :doh34

Been there done that! Of course, I usually don't notice until the shipping label is on either. I do all of my shipping from home. Thank goodness for stamps.com! LOL
