10 Fort Campbell Families-Winter momentswithmoms What are your favorite holiday traditions Our favorite traditions are to have an ugly sweater contest and a silly secret Santa gift giveaway. Whoever is voted to have the ugliest sweater wins a gift card. As for our silly secret Santa gift giveaway my mother and I each buy 50 things for a total of 100 gifts. Throughout the year we go to yard sales thrift stores after-Christmas sales at stores and buy sillycheap gifts. This year I bought a box that says it is a human-size-hamster water jug but whats really inside is a box of wine. We each go around taking turns picking a gift that is already wrapped under the tree. Adults can trade with adults but cannot trade with chil- dren. Children ages 15 and under can trade with other children and adults if they would like. You can trade as many times as you like but once the last gift is unwrapped the trading stops. It is a lot of fun brings on ton of laughs and wonderful memories. What is your favorite Christmas movie My favorite Christmas movie is Disneys Sing Along Songs Very Merry Christmas Songs. What is the go-to meal your family is sick of eating My go-to meal is chicken spaghetti so easy and quick to make and so delicious. What is the one thing you cannot live without My EOS Lip Balm. What is the best Christmas gift you received from your children Seeing them open their gifts on Christmas. The happiness it brought to their faces and being so happy and humble for what they get. Last thing you bought for yourself The last thing I bought for myself was a hat and a pair of kitten high heels. I dont normally go out and buy myself stuff but I bought those two things because I have been invited by a friend to accompany her at the Kentucky Derby for Gold Star members. I was told at the Ken- tucky Derby one must dress up and must wear a hat I have never been to one and Im very excited and honored to attend and dress up for once. What is your guilty pleasure My guilty pleasure is Total Divas. Its a TV show about woman wrestlers. Ill admit I was never into wrestling until I started watching this show. I love how these women are strong independent intelligent and compassionate and still manage to have fun during their hectic workweeks. The drama also makes it exciting. How do you unwind at the end of a busy dayweek I like to unwind with my husband in our bed watching a TV show basketball or football game. Whats the last book you read and what did you think of it The last book I read was Star in the Storm by Joan Hiatt Harlow. Its a childrens chapter book but it was wonderful. My 10-year-old daughter has to read books for Accelerated Reader tests so she checks out books at her school library and we read the books together. She is really into history so the last couple of books have been fiction books. Although this book is not all fiction it is based on some true events and places. I love this book because it has drama. It pulls at your heartstrings and it has adventure and suspense. What is the must-have app or gadget for parents The must have appgadget for parents espe- cially those who are trying to eat healthier and exercise is the Jawbone wrist band and the UP app. This wristband and app are life chang- ing. It does all the hard work for you. It tracks your calories and how you exercise as well as your weight and even how you sleep. I highly recommend it.
