Babies Babies Babies

Babies are popping up everywhere! A friend I used to work with just had a baby boy. My cousin is having another baby girl in a couple months. A couple people I post with online are pregnant. I tell you, it's babies, babies everywhere!

So, in looking around for baby gifts, I've looked at Beauty and Lace Baby. What a fun site! You can find links to cute and fashionable things for mom and baby! I never had a sling when the Princesses were little, but I wish I would have. It would have made doing things around the house a lot easier! Beauty and Lace Baby has a link to some gorgeous slings. Not babyish looking, but real classy! They've also got a link up there to ohmygiddyaunt.com.au. I love the name because I was a giddy aunt when my niece and nephews were born.

So if you're looking for something for baby and/or mom and you don't want the usual run-of-the-mill gifts, check out Beauty and Lace Baby.

I am Fuming!

Craig goes out back to BBQ dinner and says, "Where's [Oldest Princess'] bike?" I reply, on the back porch. Well, it wasn't. His and mine are, but hers isn't. Some assclown stole it off the back porch! Didn't take mine and Craig's, or the pumps, etc, on our bikes. Just hers. Now joke's on them as hers was about $200 and ours were considerably more. But anyway, we've lived here 10 years and haven't had any problems, even when a certain someone (who shall remain nameless....grrrr) leaves his vehicle unlocked. This was on the back porch, behind the gate. You can't see it from the front. I'm betting that someone saw it over our back fence. This highly pisses me off!

14th Anniversary

Yesterday was our 14th wedding anniversary. I've looked at some of my old haunts for pics, but since one of my main webpages has been down FOREVER (but hey, I can't complain, the space is free), I can't get to a wedding pic.

We didn't do much since on Saturday we went to the coast and went to dinner. Instead, we were at my parents house changing the chain and sprocket on my quad. Bahahaha Romantic, eh?

Anniversary Present

Look what my hubby bought me for our 14th anniversary!!!!! I love that man!!

Sad Anniversary

Well, yesterday was the 8th anniversary of my miscarriage. I didn't notice till I had to write the date out on a check, then it hit me. I handled the day pretty well though. Time does make it easier. Also having youngest Princess has helped a great deal, as we are so blessed to have her and her sister.

Footloose

I'm sitting here watching one of my all-time favorite movies. Footloose I am such a big fan of the movies from the 80s. LOL

Other favorites include Steel Magnolias, Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing. There's a ton more, I'm just too tired to think of them right now. LOL

Keep on Your Schedule!

As I was sitting here this morning, I realized I wasn't feeling good. Light headed and just all around blech! I forgot to take my "happy pill" yesterday. Doh! So I just ate a banana and took my pill. Hopefully it'll kick in soon!

Fleas!

Our cat, Sweet Pea is driving me nuts! She is constantly biting and scratching and since we got her a little collar with a bell attached, it's driving me insane listening to that little bell.

We've been thinking about getting one of those flea dips. A couple years ago she had fleas really bad and I don't want to go through that again!

I'm learning a lot about flea control from Fleascontol.com. Did you know that there are certain plants that you can plant in your garden to repel fleas? Wonderful smelling plants like lavender, eucalyptus and mint! I think I will have to get some and plant around my yard! It not only will smell good, but hopefully keep those pesky fleas away!

Girly Drama

Wow, Oldest Princess's friends (or so-called friends) are up to it again. She doesn't know which one is to be believed. One friend had a sleep-over last weekend, which we thought she was because her mom had said something about it when she picked up friend from our sleepover. Princess never heard from her so we just wrote it off. Fast forward to today and she finds out that friend did have one and other friend wouldn't speak to friend #1 if she invited Princess. I just have shake my head. I just want to put Princess in a bubble to protect her.

Saving Money

Every time I shop online, I look for a coupon to use. A dollar is a dollar, you know, and hey, I'm cheap!

www.keepcash.com has a ton of discount codes and coupons for a bunch of different stores. The website is updated daily with the latest deals. I can't believe all the coupons I've found on that site! I've seen many stores on there that I shop online at. I'm definitely bookmarking this site.

I've been looking for Disney Crocs. I've found them at www.shoebuy.com and there's even Shoebuy.com coupons. I'm so excited! I've been wanting these for quite a while and to get them even cheaper makes them a great deal!

Before you buy anything online, go take a look, I'm sure you'll find a money saving coupon!

How Walt Disney Cartoons are Made

I found this really interesting, especially since I'm reading the biography of Walt Disney and reading through it all and then to see it in action is pretty cool.

Weekend

Well, I didn't get as much done as I hoped, but I did have fun. :)

As I was picking up Oldest Princess from her sleepover, my check engine light came on. I stopped at a Walgreens, turned it off, restarted, and hoped it would clear itself. It didn't. I proceeded to go get gas. Started it back up and it ran like crap, barely moving and sounding like it was going to die. I edged over to the side, shut it off and restarted. It started and ran fine. ARGH! Craig was out of town, my parents are on their vacation, so I took it to a friend of my dad's who scanned it. It seems to be a cam sensor. Brian said we should at least start with replacing it, but he doesn't exactly know where it is, so he'll have to research it. Ay yi yi. All I'm seeing is dollar signs in front of my eyes.

Scrapbooking Crop

Yay! Tomorrow, Youngest Princess and I are going to Craig's aunt & uncle's house for a scrapping crop. (Ha! I first typed crap LOL!) I'm part of a Scrapbooking Message Board and they're having an "Extreme Crop" this weekend. I looked over their challenges and I should be able to do most of them. Normally, the challenges are hard for me as I really don't get too involved on my pages and I normally don't have the "latest and greatest" supplies, so I'm stoked about this crop. I hope to get a lot done!

Virtual Sandcastles

Youngest Princess and I just built some Sandcastles. It was a lot of fun! You had many options to choose from and you could even color the sand. You got to add fun little things like beach balls, seagulls, crabs and even flags to the top of your sand towers. It was really easy to do, even Youngest Princess colored her sandcastle by herself. She even wants to go make some more. I guess she loves digging in the sand whether it's real or virtual!

The website even has a sandcastle gallery so you can see what sandcastles other people have built. Some of them are quite extravagant! I've always been envious of people who can make sandcastles actually look like something! Mine usually look like what they are.....upside down buckets. Thank goodness for the internet, where my sandcastle looks like something!

Make sure your speakers are turned up too! There are sounds of seagulls and waves crashing on the beach. If you close your eyes you can just imagine yourself sitting there with a cool breeze blowing over you and a cool drink in your hand.

Go build your own Sandcastles. It's a blast! I even built one without youngest Princess. I really wish I was sitting on that beach right now!

Woohoo, it's Friday!

Yay! It's Friday! We don't have much on the schedule for this weekend. I wonder if I can squeeze some scrapbooking in. ;) Princesses have swimming lessons today and Craig took the day off. It's shaping up to be a good day!!

Hope your day/weekend is great too!!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the daddys in bloggerland! Today will be a busy one. First we have church, then I work 1-4, we're going to Craig's aunt & uncle's house for a BBQ and I work 5-8. I'm not sure exactly when I'll be seeing my dad today. LOL

Free Coloring Pages

Have you seen the site that has Free Coloring Pages for kids? The Princesses are going to love this site! Good thing we have enough computers here to go around, or I'd be having to give up some of my computer time!

I've been playing around with it. I colored a page with Tigger and Pooh. Yep, they even have Disney pages! I was thrilled to see that and the Princesses will be too! They're as big of Disney freaks as I am. There's also Pokemon, Barbie, Hello Kitty and Bratz, just to name a few. They also have subjects such as holidays, food, transportation, sports and more. Oh goodness, I just looked again and found a My Little Pony page. Youngest Princess will be picking that one as her favorite, I'm sure!

It is really simple to color your page. Find the page you want to color, click on the color you want and then click on the picture where you want the color to go. Simple as that! You know what else is cool? You can upload your own coloring page and color it in. When you're done coloring, you can save your picture to show your friends and family, just make sure you're registered first.

See, it starts as:

and it becomes this in no time!


It doesn't matter if you're 3 or 83, go check it out! I bet you'll have fun!!
