Life With Katie: gift ideas

A Day Late!

Holy wow, it's been one heck of a week. It started with me having to pick up a bat to remove him/her from my living room in the middle of the day and "ended" with a power outage that lasted 18 hours. In the middle there was the death of a friend that has left me in shock, even days later. I don't want to dwell on any of that though. Let's focus on some fun and positive things.

Thing #1

Tomorrow I'll be modding on Twitch all day. My friend, SylverDreamer, is celebrating his two year streamaversary! There will be community games all day long and giveaways. Personally, I'm hoping to win some goodies myself. That starts at 12:30 pm eastern at http://twitch.tv/SylverDreamer .

Thing #2

I wanted to let all of you know that on November 4th and 5th, I'll be in Midland, Michigan at the mall for the Fett's Holiday Market. I'll have a table set up there, so come and buy your books, prints, stickers, and pins. If you've already purchased a book off of Amazon, bring it for me to sign! I would love to meet all of you. Remember that books make the perfect holiday gifts and prints, stickers, and pins make great stocking stuffers!

I'm going to leave you there for now. Starting next week, watch for these updates to happen on Wednesday afternoons. The oldest has class about 30 minutes away so I'll be driving him and hanging out at the local Starbucks while he's in class. I figured it was the perfect time to get some work and writing done.

Have a great week!

Jones Soda

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Jones Soda. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don't know about any of you, but the boys and I love Jones Soda. It's an adventure when we go to the store to see what the newest round of labels look like. We love that they're always changing, that the soda is still in glass bottles and that it tastes super delicious!

Now, imagine my delight when I discovered myJones custom soda. You can go to the Jones Soda website and actually design your own labels! Wouldn't that make the most incredible gift? I would seriously love to receive a 12 pack with say these guys on the label:

I could totally see it being the Strawberry Lime flavor (because monkies clearly love the wackier flavors) and being called something like Monkey Madness. It's too late to do this for Christmas this year, but trust me, I'm bookmarking this under my gift ideas section for next year. Maybe I could surprise my ex-husband and his fiancee with a 12 pack with their wedding photo on it for their first anniversary, next year. The options are only as limited as your imagination and with the price being only $29.99 for a 12 pack, that's much more reasonable than a lot of other customized gifts.

Go on over and check out the different options. Jones Soda is one of my favorite sodas and I have no idea why I didn't check out their website sooner. I'm going back now to see what other sorts of gear they sell and to get some ideas for some upcoming birthdays!
