Speaking of my love for Snapfish....FREE Mug or Calender


Here's an awesome Christmas present idea!  & you only have to pay $4.99 shipping.  Now that's a sweet deal! 

Check here, for step by step details to grab yours!

Things I absolutely LOVE....

1. Eversave- This is one of my favorites, if not my favorite group discount site.  I think I like it so much because of all of the Organic baby deals.

2. Organic Baby deals - I'm not sure why...this a new found love.

3. GreenoBambino - CUTEST ever.  I bought Mya a few things for Christmas this year and I can't wait for her to open them! 

4.  Burts Bees - I esp. love the lipgloss.  The tinted is my favorite!

5. BabyGap - I have a real addiction to this place.  I can NOT get enough of all of the cute clothes for Mya.  I love the style.  So trendy and the quality is GREAT!

6. MoneySavingMom - Ohhh the money I have saved from following this blog!!!  What's not to love?!

7. MyFrugalAdventures - Same as above.  AMAZING!

8.  Snapfish - They have the best deals ever! My favorites are the free photobooks, magnets & well just about anything that is free.  The shipping is fair and fast...which is always an added plus!

9. Paypal - I'm not sure why but I always get way too excited when I'm shopping online and I see the Paypal logo.  I love checking out with Paypal...I guess it's the little things that excite me.

10. Dave Ramsey - Wow.  His ideas and plans are the perfect fit for me! 

11. Exclamation Points - Yes, I realize I use them way to much.  Maybe, it's the cheerleader in me?!

Another One!

Okay, I'm going to have way too many wreaths in my house...but look how cute this one is!! I found it while checking out one of my favorite blogs.  And I'm in love!!!


This one is made out of a book...even smarter for me since I don't drink coffee :)  I think i'm going to try this out tonite with my favorite book...Confessions of a Shopoholic! (But only because I have two copies!)

Thanks, Living with Lindsay.

Is it really Monday already?! :(

Hi Everyone!  I can't believe that it is Monday already!!  I'm sorry for my lack of posting but I had a super busy weekend!

I kicked things off on Friday with a HouseWarming/UpperCase Living Party.  It was a lot of fun!!  I absolutely LOVE their products.  They are great and I feel like they will make awesome Christmas presents.  Yippee, for early Christmas shopping!

I also tried my hand at my first Craft Show on Saturday!!  It was really fun.  I made and sold lots of little girl hairbows & tutus. 

Pictures to come soon!
