Christmas Cards

That time of year is slowly approaching. I don't know about you guys, but I can't believe it. It seems like we were just lounging by the pool.


This year I am trying to get my Christmas cards done before Thanksgiving. However, that is a little easier said than done. I found an adorable site called Brick House Paperie. They may make this goal of mine a little easier to accomplish. Here are a few of my favorites.

Where do you guys get your Christmas cards?

My new obsession

I can't get enough of Facebook these days. I have reconnected with so many people. I just secretly wish I would have come up with the whole concept.

A Little Something For All You Moms Out There

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the
sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask "Why me?" and get their answer when a
little voice says, "Because I love you best."

Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or
years or grade...It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...

RuMe Bags

I have been trying very hard lately that when I go to the store I do not use any plastic or paper bags. If I had a few of these bags by RuMe I know that it wouldn't be a problem. Not only do they fold up nicely and fit inside your purse but, the larger bags hold up to 50 lbs. The mini RuMe holds 30 lbs. The bags have square sides and bottoms so they sit nicely when you stand them up. I think this is going to have to be my next purchase. My favorite is the Greenwich design. I will be fashionable and saving the environment all at the same time.

Back To School

We start school in less than a week. I can't believe that summer is almost over. However, we had a very memorable summer.

I love finding new and different lunch boxes and back packs for my little girl. My oldest son doesn't care what he carries as long as it is Under Armour. Luckily I can still persuade my little girl enough that her feel like it is her choice. So I just had to share my adorable finds with you. The above lunch box is from em tanner designs. They have so many adorable choices to choose from. The back pack came from Room It Up. I had her name monogrammed in hot pink and it came back looking wonderful.

Vacation Time!!

We are headed to the beach for a little fun in the sun. I am so excited to get out of town and just relax and enjoy my family. My kids are so excited they could barely go to sleep last night. However, it could have been all the heavy storms and the threat of tornadoes that did it too. I'll be back next Saturday so you guys have a great week and I'll check in periodically.
