Bathroom Update.

Ever since we re tiled our bathrooms upstairs and painted the vanitys i have wanted to frame our mirrors. We found a lady in our neighborhood who does just that! Her name is Michelle and she owns Reflected Designs. She came to our home 2 weeks ago and I picked out the frames and placed our order. Today she came and hung the frames on the mirrors! I have a totally new look in my bathrooms and couldn't be happier!

$69.91!!!!

I was a grocery guru this week! I got all of this for $69.91. I have been clipping coupons for olny the items I think I will use and then waiting for them to be on sale in the adds. So I totally scored this week with 8 boxes of cereal @ .97, 7 boxes of eggo waffles @ .82 (for our breakfasts on Wacky Waffle Wednesday!) 5 keebler cookie packs @.83, 2 ben and jerrys pints @2.00, 2 loafs of granny bread, 2 packs of strawberries, banannas, potatoes, 3lbs of sausage, 2 lbs of bacon, 1 gal of o.j. 1 gal apple juice, 2 gal of milk, bagels, lettuce, tortillas, tomatos! Obviously a lot of this will be stored and saved for later but I was just so excited about my steals I had to share!!! I scour the adds on wednesday night write down the sales to price match at walmart and then find coupons if I have any then I shop for the sales on Thursday. This has really helped me build up my food storage and helps me save a lot of $$$!

My Man Card

I have the hardest time coming up with masculine cards. You know the ones you can give to a man. Well this was my last attempt at one. I think I am getting better, but if a guy doesnt like it i know a woman will! Its not the greatest picture but You an see most of the details.

Chazz's newest Injury! How does this kid swell like that???? He was climbing up on our hamper to turn on the T.V. and the bottom fell out and he fell on the hamper and hit his lip. This is the result!

What to blog about?

As you can tell, I have neglected my blog horribly!! I have not one excuse but that life gets busy and .......fill in the blanks. I love looking at other peoples blogs, and have noticed a trend in my family, they post about their families and their hobbies/passions. Well I decided to jump on the bandwagon and post about my love for card making.

Last month I made a trip to the scrapbook expo with $50.00 and came home with a great bunch of papers and extra cute do-dads and $7.00, if you can believe that!! Papers + Heather = no sleep!!! I kept dreaming of the combos that I could create and could not wait to cut some of that paper!!!!! So here is a picture of my loot and my first creation with my finds!!

Family Vacation part II !

I am going to try to do this in a few posts because we took a lot of pictures and it was so much fun I want to do it justice. We boarded the cruise ship on Oct. 25th at 2:30. We were so lost, the ship was huge and being first time cruisers we kind of had to stumble around and figure out how things are done. We found our rooms and they were awesome! I am so glad we had 2 because then we could watch our own shows and get away from each other. I think at times it was the best thing for all of us!!! We sailed for 2 days south along the baja penninsula and each day it got warmer and hotter! While aboard we got to play put put golf, swim and go on a water slide! We watched a bunch of drunk people sing karoke and ate some of the best food ever! The kids enjoyed camp carnival most of the sailing days which provided activities for their specific ages....you have to see some of the pictures from the camp activities, they really do a great job. My favorite part was the dining room. We ate there 70% of the time for the ease of ordering and having your food brought to you. There was also a buffet style of eating but with the 3 kids that was hard to carry all the food/drinks and have everyone be happy. Dinner time we got to pick a starter each and a main dish and a fabulos dessert. All of it was mouth watering. There was one night that was cruise elegant and it was like prom on the ship, I felt underdressed in my sunday clothes that is how fancy people got. One other luxury was the fact they clean your room 2 times a day! They also leave a cute towel animal every night on the end of your bed, one night they left a monkey hanging from the lights. On Tuesday was our first port day in Puerto Villarta Mexico, and I will tell you about that in my next post.

Family Vacation!

First Disney Land then a Cruise to the Mexican Riviera! 10 days of Fun, Fun, Fun! We flew into Long Beach and stayed at the Carousel Inn right across the street from Disney Land! Diane and Taylor (Grandma and Aunt) meet us there and even had joining rooms with us! We had 2 day park hopper passes and our first day at Disney Land was on Friday. Because Diane had ankle surgery and had a wheel chair we got to go to the front of all the lines!!! (If I have any suggestions about going to disney land take someone with you that needs a wheel chair!) My favorite ride was the Peter Pan one, Zack liked the Buzzlight year where you got to shoot targets. Chazz loved Jedi Training and Zyan loved getting a makeover at the Bibbidy Bobity botique. Zoey loved all the lights and music! Now that I have been to Disney Land I would love to compair it to Disney World....Maybe that is the making for another family vacation!! I am posting the cruise pictures seperate...I am all out of Bloggin time.
