{Erin Condren Giveaway}

Ok, so its no secret that I LOVE to be organized, and anything that can help me do that is an A+ in my book.  I recently came across a company that makes "the best" planners I've ever seen.....AND BONUS....they are personalized for YOU!

I bought the Month-at-a-Glance planner because I dont personally write on all those individual day ones, I usually just use the huge monthly calendar.  So this one has two full pages of a whole month.  PLUS, it has lots of lined paper and blank paper, labels for the months already written out for you for those special events, plus a TON of blank ones for you to use for whatever you want. There are so many cool things in this planner.  

They even have the option to put your own pictures on the front/back of your planner for an additional charge.

BUT its not just planners that they have.  They have iPhone cases...which let me tell you I WILL be getting if I decide to change to an iPhone next.  
Not to mention, trays, photo canvas, growth charts, iPad stickers, address labels, gift cards, calendars, notebooks, teacher's lesson planners (which are so awesome), stationery, invitations.....pretty much anything you can imagine!

Check it out for yourself!!! Erin Condren

Tiny Prints Cards!!!

I love sending out Christmas cards.  I usually send out between 50-70 cards.  I love getting photo cards from my friends, and I save them at the end of the year.  Its so much fun to see how much everyone's kids grow over the years.  

My Christmas cards started out being my two kitties in some kind of Christmas gear.  Since having kids, they have been added to my kitty Christmas cards.  This year will be no different!  It just gets harder having to get 4 faces and personalities to cooperate with me.  I usually take between 60-80 pics for about 2-3 to come out usable!  

Ive been checking out Tiny Prints this year since they had an awesome deal on getting a free Santa card sent to my kids!  They LOVED it...well Mattie did, Paityn really doesn't get it yet. 

So far my favorites are:

Cant wait to decide which ones to do.....Better get going on taking my pictures!!!! :)

Happy Birthday, Paityn McKenzie!

Ok, so Paityn's first birthday was actually on October 11, but all her party preparations took over my time getting this collage together.

Dont forget about the Butt Paste Giveaway!

{Butt Paste Giveaway!!!!}

I know I said I was going to post the next giveaway a week ago, but with Miss Paityn's first birthday planning and such, it just didnt happen.

Well here it is!!!
  

Bourdreaux's Butt Paste

Ok, so with two babies, I've tried it all!  I love to use different products to see what works best with my little ones.  This being said, I decided to try out some different stuff on P then I did with Mattie.  (Just to compare).

I wrote to the company that produces the Bourdreaux products, because what isn't cooler then the name Butt Paste?!?! and asked then if I could try out their product.

To my surprise they didn't just send me the original Butt Paste to try, but their WHOLE line!!!!  Boy was I excited, and blown away at all the other products they had.

I had NO IDEA they also made an ALL NATURAL form of the Butt Paste AND a Maximum Strength one!

The Rash Protector is wonderful, you can apply it during changes when you aren't using the Butt Paste to protect from future rashes.  Its great to use right before bed to help keep the moisture away from their little bums!

I also LOVE the Butt Bath (smells so yummy!), and Paityn loves the Baby Kisses Lip Balm.  You can use the Baby Kisses on cheeks too, which will be wonderful for the upcoming winter months.

This is what they sent us!!! (and what you can win too!)

One of my readers will receive ALL of this!!

Little Man's New Adventure

Since I decided that we will wait another year before putting Matthew into preschool, I thought it would be great to get him into something where he can at least socialize with some other kids his age. (We DO go to story time at the library most Tuesdays, but I wanted to get him involved in something new.)

My friend, Jessica, mentioned that there was a soccer league in Columbia and Windham, so I checked out their website and decided to sign him up.  Never playing soccer before, I didn't really know what to expect, but so far I'm happy with the way its going.  They have soccer Saturday mornings from 9-9:45am.

He's still a little apprehensive about the whole thing, but he IS getting better.  We played a game this past Saturday where the kids had to chase their parents or one of the coaches around pretending to be bumble bees and kick the ball at their feet to try and "sting" them. Matthew was cracking up at this! 

We also played body part soccer, where the kids had to stop the ball with a body part that the coach yelled out.  

Here are some pictures of Matthew playing soccer this past Saturday.

Pinterest

So if you have yet to check out Pinterest, I HIGHLY recommend it.  There are such great ideas, and products on there, and you can save them all (or Pin them) to your own individual boards.  This website is a really great idea.

Here is the first Pinterest project I completed, and I see many more in my future.

 

I love the way this came out. Its one of those 3D paper letters, wrapped with twine, with black satin ribbon for the bow and hanger, and three felt rosettes for decoration.  I used two different purple felts since our front door is purple.  

Here is my Pinterest page so you can follow me on there!
