4 fun ways to give money for Christmas

The saying goes that "cash is king"

and during the holidays giving it as a gift is often a lifesaver!

It's quick, easy and always appreciated.

I've got 4 fun ways to Show them the Money for Christmas...

1. Sleigh it!

Santa changed his standard, 

Ho, Ho, Ho for Dough, Dough Dough.

He is ready for Christmas by filling his sleigh with money 

and had Thomas Jefferson don his signature bright red hat for some jolly fun...

Sometimes, giving the dough is the way to go...

2. Oh Deer!

Who doesn't love getting a few extra bucks?

This bow-tie clad, glittered reindeer is ready to make the season

Merry and Bright...

Everyone needs a little bit of green for their Reindeer Games, right?

3. Money Trees

They say money doesn't grow on trees 

but during Christmas I beg to differ.

This money tree is ready to Deck the Halls...

Who knew Abe Lincoln would be at the Christmas Tree Farm?

4. Silver BILLS

It's Christmas time in the city and the bells are ringing CASH...

Simple bells with a little loot stuffed inside...

ring-a-ling indeed!

Wishing you a very lucrative Christmas!

Outdoor Game Night - Get Ready to JaM through Fall...

Fall is upon us...

are you ready for a barrel of fun?

We are trading in those hot summer days for the cool autumn breezes.

It's the perfect time to grab the outdoor games, 

gather up your best buds and pour a little JaM Cabernet.

JaM Cab is an easy-to-love, every day wine. 

It is 100% California Cabernet Sauvignon that bursts with dark berries, 

plums and has a beautiful vanilla finish.

It is right at home, chilling on the lawn for a roll of the dice!

No game night is complete without snacks to feed that competitive spirit.

JaM Cab goes with everything, 

especially festive food that rhyme with it!

JaM is happy with HaM, 

lovely with LaMb, 

and cheery with CLaMs...

If you play your cards right...

and get your dominoes all in a row...

game night is sure to be a winner...

Because it's really all about having a ball, right?

Second-generation Napa Valley vintners John and Michele are the “J” and the “M” in JaM Cellars. They made these wines in a style they love to enjoy with their friends any day of the week.

Cabernet is not the only one chilling, 

they also make Butter Chardonnay and Toast Sparkling.

“We take our wines seriously; we just don’t take ourselves seriously!”

I think the key to a balanced lifestyle includes regularly scheduled

Girls' Nights!

The ladies came over, to let the good times roll,

 for a festive fete full of laughs, games, drinks and snacking...

The gals were dealt, freshly popped Lime & Salt Popcorn,

the perfect delicious pairing for my Game Night Gimlets and
easy to eat while the card sharks anted up.

It is so good in fact, 

it doubles down as a party favor

to let everyone know that I'm so glad they POPPED by...

Skinny Girl Popcorn 

has no artificial flavors, sweeteners or colors and no high fructose corn syrup.

What it does have is amazing and unique flavor and 20% less calories than their competitors.

The Lime & Salt smells amazing as it pops and the zesty lime taste will have you addicted.

Skinny Girl also comes in Butter & Sea Salt which is the ultimate classic buttery popcorn treat.

Cheers to a great night and showing off my Domino Ring!
