This ones for you

Baby R!  Okay I am not sure if you remember way back over a year ago, but at that time is wedding central.  I would blog about that and well stalk blogs that had cool wedding ideas and give aways.  Gone are the days of wedding time..but now our days are BABY, BABY, BABY!  I recently have been searching for good mommy to be blogs...

Thus I must introduce you soon to be moms or ladies who would like to start thinking about babies to a blog.  I was introduced by a friend of mine, because she lives close to this blogger.  Thus finding out I was pregnant I have become the biggest fan of her page.  Her blog is Keeping it Simple and well she is a recent new, first time, mom!  Thus she is now blogging about things she loves to use, wished she had never bought, and so much more.  I promise I have been loving all her post.  I guess because she has tried all the newer products and can give a real time review is why I love her site so much!  I mean come on there are a billion things out there now a days.  It's so nice to see what another mom liked or did not, and the reason why!  GO NOW and check her site out...

Oh and did I mention she just had a giveaway for the new boppy lounger!! 

(I would have place a pic here but BLOGGER HATES me tonight!)

Guess who won their soon to be baby a Boppy Lounger!! WHOO WHOO!!  I can't wait for our little guy/gal to be chilling in their lounger all happy as can be!  Thanks Keeping it Simple Baby R is super jazzed!

Something to brighten the day!

I received a nice little email today.....that I won a blog giveaway. Really this couldn't be a nicer treat!  Christin at A Classy, Southern Wife held a fun little giveaway.  She has just hit 600 followers!  How fun to have 600 followers...so jealous!  Anyway, I won a fun bottle of wine!  I can not wait!!!  Christin thanks for the silver lining on my very dark clouds today.  If you want to do a little blog hopping stalking head over to Christin's blog...I of course love it!

B-E-A-U-tiful weekend!

Finally after 2 weeks of snow and ice we were granted a wonderful weekend.  Let's see...we began our weekend by attending one of Chris' friends going away party.  His friend has just accepted a job in Houston.  It was a blast getting to catch up with everyone...thus posing the question,  Why does it take someone leaving to get us all together?  Really we should do it more often (and for all the guys sake...on our side of town, ha)

Today I woke up and hit a few local stores.  One was having a blow out sale, which was fun!  I picked up a few things that I didn't really need...but were so cheap how could I pass them up.  Not only was it wonderful to enjoy the beautiful weather, but just nice to be out and about.  I am loving the warmer weather and I am loving the NON ICY STREETS!!

I am also really loving that my sweet husband completely understand that I DESPISE Valentine's Day! He knows that to me it is just a waste...and well I would rather him love me everyday; not just the day specified for it!  Therefore when I got home today on my counter were some very lovely tulips!  Often my counter holds a vase of beautiful tulips...just one of the many things he does to win my heart over.

Oh and one last thing before you all go out and enjoy your weekend, there are two fun blog giveaways going on!  The first one ends on MONDAY, head over to Musing Experiences   for your chance at a pari of TOMS!  Then you need to head over to Fierce, Fit, and Fabulous.  She is hosting a giveaway for a Coach bangle bracelet.  Stop in and check it out!   Enjoy your weekend and to you Valentine's Day LOVERS (gag) I hope yours is well, lovely!

Teaching life

Okay I know all you non teacher people will not feel a bit bad....but yes, today I had to return to WORK after my TWO weeks off.  I hated to go, really.  I couldn't force myself to get out of bed this am.  Good thing Chris was home to force me out!  Oh and another thing that helped was knowing we didn't have kids today, instead it was an inservice day.  But I really could have used a couple more days off...its so hard to get everything done in 2 weeks when 1 week is spent out of town doing CHRISTMAS.

Okay, off my soap box now...and onto more exciting things.  Some of my favorite shows started again tonight~~~Bachelor, Greek, and a few more later this week.  That makes me super jazzed.  Also tomorrow I will get my compliance teacher (an extra teacher because my class size is over the state limit of 22---I have 26 going on 27 maybe).  I met her today and she seemed super sweet and very excited to get stared with my kiddos! Oh and for you my blogger friends....Don't forget to stop back by on FRIDAY for the details of the big giveaway! Happy Monday to you all.

PSSSTTT....I have a surprise!!!

I have surprise that may make you happy!!!  I wont go into all the details now, but it's a GIVEAWAY!!!
