I've been Tagged

I have been tagged twice! These tags have come from Tips of a Mom of 3 and Thrifty in the Cincy. These happen to be 2 of my favorite blogging resources! Thanks ladies for including me!
Here's what I am supposed to do:
Post the rules of the game:

The Rules:
1. To link the tagger and provide the rules on your blog
2. Share 7 facts about yourself
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving names as well as links to their blogs
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs.

Seven things about me:

1. I love reading cookbooks. I do not really read novels, I read cookbooks instead, from cover to cover!
2. My favorite thing to do is also cooking! (See a pattern here?)
3. I married a man I was friends with for about 5 years first! This really lets you get to know someone! He had nothing to prove!
4. I have a degree in surgical asst. but as soon as I graduated, I never wanted to do that, so I didn't! Surgeons can be "demanding" sometimes. I know they have a difficult job! They do a great job! It just wasn't for me, but I finished!
   
5. My favorite color is green!
6. My ideal Christmas would be nestled in a cottage in a ski town with snow everywhere and my whole family there. In-laws, sisters, grandmas, grandpas, etc. I love fireplaces and being warm and this just sounds so cozy and warm!
7. I am addicted to Hollywood gossip sites. Everyone has to have their "thing" right?

Now the seven I m tagging (This is tough, most of my favorite blogs have been tagged!) This is fun!

1. Mom on a Mission
2. Addicted to Coupons
3. Bargain Briana
4. A Recipe a Day
5. My Italian Grandmother
6. Stretching a Buck
7. Mom's Toolbox

These are some of my favorite blogs, so be sure to check them out!

Charity

BeCentsAble has an awesome post about doing "charity on the cheap"! I never would have thought to plan this through out the year, but if you do, you could donate nice boxes for under 3.00. Check it out here and get into the season of "giving".
Again, please read this. It would enable anyone to give and so many children will receive nothing this holiday season! It could make a lot of kid's and parent's days!

Free Tacos!

Don't forget to go to your local Taco Bell and get your free taco today! From 2-6, everyone receives one free taco, no purchase necessary!
