Through my work with Federated Media and Clever Girls Collective, I often get opportunities to share posts here with all of you. And I'll be honest, I don't jump on many of them because they don't feel like a good fit with my usual blog posting. But with four kids under my belt, I've discovered the necessity of online shopping so when given the opportunty to test out this new secure online payment system from Visa, I was all over it.
While I do my best to support the local, little man as much as I can, there are still many times when necessity, budget and my own personal sanity mean shopping from the comfort of my computer is really attractive. This past Christmas, a good chunk of my holiday shopping was done online.
But a few months ago after some pretty serious and scary fraud attempts with my credit card in the Mac Apple Store I'm more cautious than ever about throwing around my numbers, passwords and security codes on any old website.
V.me by VISA is a secure and simple online payment system. It allows you to securely enter your credit card information one time, through their secure site and have access to it, with one click when you shop online. Not only that, you can also add contacts to your address book and multiple credit cards, making it super convenient. The security of having my information safely stored with V.Me is worth a lot. But I have to admit that oftentimes when I finally sit down to shop or order something online, it also involves a search for my purse and wallet. V.Me is there with a simple click or two. And while the service is still picking up steam and not available on every website, it is simple to sign up and start your free personal account–so that it's there when you need it.
As someone who's had a close call with fraud but still needs the convenience of online shopping it provides a lot of peace of mind.

art with children / holidays / life on thomas run
Hi friends. Umm, wow. We are in the throes of merry-making around here. The girls and I made these little votive candles the other day from air-dry clay
. Just your basic pinch pot, with some of the greens pressed in the sides to make an impression. They've been the perfect little thing lining my kitchen table. And could not have been easier.
But honestly, what I really need is another good week before Christmas. Though my kids would protest, I never seem to be able to fit in all the things I want to do in the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But what's really slowing things down is a huge project going on behind the scenes. It is taking all of my mental energy, decision-making abilities and honestly, my time. It's exciting for everyone but still…phew! There's not much extra room in my brain these days.
I hate it when people drop little hints like that around and don't spill the beans, but I promise I'll let you know very soon. In fact, it will probably be my first post of the new year. I can't wait to tell you guys.
I'm taking a little holiday vacation from my work with BabyCenter this week and I'm hoping to be here a few more times before the holiday. I miss this space and miss all of you!
More soon, friends.

family / from Mary / out and about
A post from Mary…
It is a rare thing for our family to take a day and just do something. Together. No laboring, no laundry, no cleaning. A trip out of town. A favorite parade that celebrates our family's heritage, and is loaded with pipes, kilts and dogs. Lunch and knock-out basketball with cousins. On the way home, a pit stop at Daddy's office and an evening stroll along the creek through the urban park to a favorite burger joint for dinner. As the craziness of the season begins to creep in, I love having days like this together. It is a gift, all its own.
