Oreo Bites Revisited
Popping in real quick to share a Valentine's recipe from last year. You will want to make these guys.
Personal Creations
I was all set for Christmas this past year. I had all the gifts bought well in advance. Santa was bringing Adrienne a new American Girl doll. That was her big present. Then two weeks before Christmas, Adrienne dropped a bomb. She said she wanted Santa to bring her a train table.
Wait. Huh?!
Granted, my child has always gravitated towards train tables. She loves taking things apart and building them back. Her father's child if you will. They both sit for literally hours building Lego creations. Or playing video games. Or coding websites. Okay, the latter is just William. But, back to the point, my kid is a builder. And she tells me she wants a train table two weeks before Christmas? #thiskid.
Since I'd already over spent on Adrienne's presents, I told her that Santa does have to build toys for every little kid that believes in him, so she may not always get exactly what she wants. That statement went in one ear and out her little other (as they all usually do). She told me she was just going to wish really hard and that Santa always listens to her wishes. Because, magic.
Duh, Mom.
Well, to my disbelief, there really is a Santa. But he was posing as a company called Personal Creations. A few days after Adrienne was writing her fifth letter to Old Saint Nick, Personal Creations hit me up asking if I would review one of their umpteen-million personalized gifts.
I was all like, "Um. YEA!" I mean, I'm a sucker for personalized things. Maybe it's because I have an unusual name. When I was little it was always like, hey kid, good luck finding "JADE" on those personalized pencils. I think that scared me for life.
I scoured over all the different items I could have "Jade" on, but then I saw it. A Kidkraft train slash Lego table. And that's when I knew Santa was real. I still hear the bell!
Personal Creations sent my little creator the thing she wanted the most for Christmas with her name on it.
Needless to say, on Christmas morning, Adrienne freaked her little freak and was all like, American Girl who?
She has played daily with this train table since.
So, all you gift-buying-folks (twice hyphenated), do yourselves a solid and head over to Personal Creations. This is a magical company. Be sure to check them out on Facebook and Twitter for even more gift buying goodness.
Post script - I will share photos of Christmas morning sometime in the near future. Prom.

Threads and Arrows
It's Friday. We have survived another week. Now it's time to get ready for our Super Bowl partay. But before I leave to go grocery shopping, I'll share with you one of Coffee and Cashmere's newest sponsors, Threads and Arrows.
Threads and Arrows is an Etsy shop that consists of the most adorable and affordable moccasins for the youngsters. Sure, there are other brands of moccasins out there, but some of their prices are pretty steep. Who can keep shelling out $50 + dollars every few months when your child's feet decide to do some more growing? Not this stay at home mommy.
Anystopgrowingrightnowkid, Threads and Arrows moccasins are only around $24 dollars a pop! And they come in some amazing styles and colors! These guys are super well-made and are easy to put on wiggly fee, too. My favorite part is that all the bottoms of the moccs are made from suede. That means they will hold up way longer with the walking tots.
Something about a tiny-sized human in moccasins gets me every time. Every. Single. Time.
Please always check out my awesome sponsors on the right side of my blog. I only work with the coolest of cool. If you'd like to advertise your business on my blog, shoot me an email at jade@coffeeandcashmere.com.
Truly Sanctuary
If you have been a reader of my blog for a long while now, you would know my loyalty to muh sponsor Truly Sanctuary. I absolutely adore those people. If you're a newbie, let me introduce them to you.
Truly Sanctuary is a downright awesome wife slash hubby duo who started up a rad t-shirt company. They offer some of the most comfy shirts for every sized human, plus make those same humans a tad bit more legit just by wearing them.
Another fab item in their repertoire of coolness are tote bags. You can pick a color with your favorite Truly Sanctuary screen print, then head to your local library in style. Or to Trader Joe's if you have one. Which we don't. Sad face. Freals.
And the kicker of this post? Since this amazing company is family orientated, they are doing a fundraiser to help raise money for their child's elementary school's read-a-thon. Truly Sanctuary's tote bags are on sale for only $10 with free shipping until February 4th! All proceeds from the tote sales will be given to Julia Green Elementary in Nashvegas. Loves it. That was obviously said in my best Paris Hilton voice.
So, support this great company, support the schools, and support the love to read in the youngsters.
Ohandplusalso, I ordered a "Faux Reals" tote in pink.
