My Awesome Brother In Law (this might change your life)

Hey guys, Have you checked out my Sponsors? They are all there for a reason. BECAUSE THEY ARE AWESOME.

Do you see the one in the middle of the top row? Here, it looks like this:


Life in the Pitts


That button leads to an awesome website, designed and run by my brother in law, Dave Hulihan (Amber's Husband).

I love it. It's called the Wishilist Factory, and it has made our birthdays and holidays SO much easier.

Here, I'll let him tell you all about it (and I'll even add more pictures, just for you guys).

 ----------------------------------
Hi, my name’s Dave, and I’m the owner and developer of WishlistFactory.com, a private wishlist website for friends and families. This website lets you create wishlists(for any event or person) that you can then share with a group of people.
A little background

I have a big family, and my wife’s family is also pretty big. As you can imagine, keeping track of what one individual person wants for their birthday or for Christmas can be a nightmare...

Growing up, I often received bizarre gifts like Volcano Documentaries, Oven Mitts, Socks, Thermometers, etc. Not bad gifts, but not always appropriate for a teenage boy. I think these were the result of people not actually knowing what I had on my wishlist.
Originally, I made this website for my wife, who loves Christmas and buys a ton of gifts for everyone. During the holiday season it can be tough to stay sane while keeping track of what people want and who has already bought a gift on someone’s wishlist. This website helps out with that.
WishlistFactory lets you create a wishlist for yourself or anyone else in your family, and you can create groups(like one for your family and one for your in-laws) of people that can then see that wishlist.

Surprise Protection is very important, the person who the wishlist is for must never know what other people are getting them!
Other people in the group can add gifts to anyone’s wishlist and change the status of the gift(if you bought the gift, you would mark the gift as Purchased and so on) so no one ever buys the same gift as someone else(which prevents awkward moments).
There’s a lot of other cool features on the website, so stop by and check them out. This is a free service, so create an account and try it out. Hopefully it will help with keeping your sanity when it comes to gift-giving.
 ----------------------------------

So here's the thing- this website has made holidays and birthdays so much easier. Especially since I moved across the country.

No more calling people over and over to say "Do you have any idea what to get this person?"

So go check it out. It's awesome.

BIG NEWS.

No, I'm not pregnant.

But I am turning 25 this week. I accidentally typed 256 just now. That's about how old I feel. I think my body just realized how old it's getting, and decided to give up. My hips and knees have been aching this weekend, and that is the only explanation I can come up with.

In honor of my Quarter-Of-A-Century birthday, I've got a few exciting announcements!

First of all, I'm opening an Etsy Shop! I've got everything ready to go, except the pictures of the products. It's been all rainy and gloomy here in the Pitts, and I haven't been able to get a decent picture. So as soon as I get home from work today, I'm just gonna use the flash and photoshop the heck out of them.

Second of all, I've arranged an awesome Giveaway! Here is a preview:

I know, right? That Giveaway is tomorrow, so be sure to check back then!

And Third of all... ok, I guess I don't have a Third of all. I just like the way that sounds.

Have I mentioned it's my birthday this week? If you haven't checked out my Birthday Wishlist, you probably should. How else will you know what to get me? Plus, there are a whole bunch of pretty pictures, and you might get some new ideas to add to your Wishlist. Click here to check that out.

Thanks for reading my rambly post!

I can't stop laughing!

I am trying to be quiet, since I'm at work right now. But I'm not very good at suppressing laughter. I keep snorting.

Here is my brother Jimmy:

(He's the one on the right)

He just turned 26. And for his birthday I decided to get him the Artemis fowl Collection. But I was $1.90 short of Amazon's Super Shipper Savings (If you're ever in that situation, here is a handy little link). So I found this awesome filler present. Have you heard of Stanky Legg? Yeah me neither. Go check it out- you know you're curious.

It's so perfect. I immediately added it to my shopping cart, and checked out. Annie (his wife) is going to tell him "I think it's her favorite song. She thinks you'll really like it too."

I.CANNOT.WAIT.
