Today I would like to share with you a fun store I found. It is called EVRIHOLDER and you can check it out at This is a online store that carries so many fun and unique items that I could stay on all day shopping. When I was on there I found items that I needed in the kitchen and bathroom. I found items that would make nice stocking stuffers. I also found items that would go good in the party bags I am putting together for Charlies Birthday. With a little one it is so much easier to do my Christmas Shopping online and I was worried about how I would fill his stocking and also Davids. With this store I do not have to worry as they have everything I need. The nice thing is I could even let David and Charlie shop on the site for me and I would have no clue what they would pick as there is so many items I would like to have. I can tell you that I will be asking Santa to stop by there and pick up some of the items I saw not only for me but for the people on my list. I was allowed to chose 5 items that I could review and I must tell you that was so hard to do as they had so many items I would like to check out. The nice part is that they have items for every room in your house. Let me share with you some of the items I chose and who I chose them for as well as why I picked them. The first item I picked was a pack of Crazeee-Strawz as Charlie and I use straws all the time. When I saw then I knew they would make a nice stocking stuffer for him and his friends. Plus I could put them in the party bags I am putting together. I could even stick one in my stocking as I am a big kid and think they would make drinking my tea so much more fun. I think I need to have a Girls Nite out and we use these as it. I like that the colors are colors Charlie would like. He would take the blue and green. David the orange and me the pink. knowing that there is 8 straws in the package is nice as well as this is how many kids will be at the Birthday party.

The next item I chose was also for Charlie and it is the Sip "R" Eyes and it is a pair of funny glasses and it is from Nesquik. Which Charlie and I drink all the time and so with these I could buy him a bottle of chocolate syrup and wrap them up together and it would make a nice present. Or I could lay them out for him to find on Christmas Eve to use at our breakfast. The only problem with that is that David wants a pair as well and so it seems I will be shopping with Evriholder again before Christmas as I like to find new and unusal items to put in the stocking and Charlie would think it is funny to see his dad with a pair of these glasses on. In fact I may even have to order a pair for me.

The third item was also for Charlie but it is candles that I can use on his Birthday cake and they are called Colorific Candl'z. I chose them as the flame is the same color as the candles and I thought the children at Charlies Birthday party would enjoy them. Plus there is 12 in the package and with 2 parties on that day it was enough for both of them. I like the colors of the candles and I know Charlie will as well as they are his favorite colors. There also biodegradable which is nice. plus non toxic and this is something we need when there is children around. The next items is one I picked out for David and it is a wine saver as he loves to open a bottle of wine and stick it back in the icebox. By the time he finishes it it is flat. I am hopping this will cut down on some of the waste. I like that it is easy to use. I think it would make a nice gift for some of the people here. It has a lid with it that would make pouring the wine so much easier. So Please check it out and let me know what you think of it.

The last item I chose was a Purse-Hook for myself. I figured I was good and picked items out for everyone else and so I thought I deserved something as well. I chose it as it had a heart on it and I collect hearts. I also liked that it would keep my purse up off the floor. I think every lady who carries a bag should have one. I like that it is small enough to fit in my bag so I always have it with me. I also like knowing it holds 11 lbs as it would hold a small bag that Charlie fills with toys and I would not always have to bend down to pick it up.

So if you have not heard of Evriholder Please check them out at http://www.Evriholder.com As they will make all of your shopping needs so much easier. I can say this as there is still so many items I would like to purchase from there. As they carry the brands I grew up with like Hostess and Campbells. Glenda

As a step mom one of the hardest things to watch is when one of the kids gets into trouble

You see David has 2 daughters and a son. I am pretty close to the baby daughter and also his son. The oldest daughter not so much. So when Travis or Leslie end up in trouble I hate it as it makes me think about what I would do if it had been Suzzane or Charlie. The things I hate the most is that I am there step mom but when they get into trouble I am supposed to stay out of it and let David and his ex wife deall with it which I do not think is fair. I saw this because Travis has lived with us several different times when he gets into trouble and it always cause trouble for David and I. So a couple weeks ago when he left his wife David decided he could stay here again. He did not bother to ask me or Charlie how we felt about it and so I was hurt and angry. It got to the point where I thought I would leave and let David have both boys and he could figure out what to do as no one would listen to me. Travis was allowed to just sleep all day and not look for a job as he was going through a hard time. So the night he came here to stay he had just signed his self out of the hospital as he had thought of killing his self. I did feel sorry for him but I knew it was a way for him to get attention which he did. I told David time and time again he would go back to the girl and when he left it would upset Charlie but David says no he will not take her back. She tried to kill him. He is done with her. My mother n law came to pick up Travis so he could go and talk to her and he did go back to her. Now we all have to worry about weather she is going to hurt him or not. We also have to try and figure out what type of place to admit him to if he begins to drink and do drugs again which I am afraid he will do. So today I decided to look online for places and I found one that is called Morningside Recovery Program http://morningsiderecoveryfaqs.com/ide and it has a lot of things that we would need to have for Travis. The question is if we could afford it as Travis does not have insurance. So as I write this I Pray to God that it does not come down to use admitting him into here but with him being Bi-Polar and not taking his meds we may be and it may be soon than anyone wants to think about. As I have buried one child and I do not want to bury a second one and I think that Morningside Recovery Program http://morningsiderecoveryfaqs.com/ can keep us from losing a second child. Glenda
