For all of my fellow Cricut peeps...

My favorite place to buy adhesive backed vinyl for my Cricut, http://www.expressionsvinyl.com/ is having an AMAZING sale today and tomorrow.  EVERYTHING is 25% off when you checkout with the coupon code:  SUPER. 

Even though my Cricut is 6 x 12,  I buy the 12 x 24 vinyl sheets, and cut them into 4 pieces. This is way cheper than paying 99cent for just one 6x12 sheet.  Each 12x24 piece is regularly $1.89, and if you spend $15 or less (before the coupon), standard shipping is $6.00, and if you spend more than $15 standard shipping is $8.25. 

So, if you need to stock up on some Cricut vinyl, this is the best deal that I've found.....and believe me, I've looked everywhere!

Happy Cutting!  :o)

Ugh...Braxton and Braxton Hicks...

Bayleigh was the PERFECT baby.  I felt nauseas with her, but I never got sick.  I never had heartburn, or swelling, and she never kicked the crapola out of me.  Most importantly, I never experienced Braxton Hicks contractions!  I felt pretty safe naming Braxton, Braxton, because I never knew how horrible these contractions feel!  For the past three days, I have debated on whether or not Braxton is trying to escape, or if this is just false labor. I'm already being treated for Gestational Diabetes (which I don't think I really have) and I'm being monitored for High Blood Pressure (which I definitely don't have) and pre-eclampsia (which I hope I don't develop) so why not add these contractions to the mix?  My poor hands have been so swollen for months I had to lose my wedding rings, and my feet are so swollen I had to buy some stretchy new balances a size bigger than I normally wear. 

Nick wanted more kids.  Like for a total of 4.  Or 5.  After this pregnancy though, I'm 99.9% sure that I done.  Finished.  Finito. 

Hopefully Braxton will arrive, in good health, and grow up to be a smart, sweet, respectful mama's boy.... because after all of this.... he owes me! 

Bayleigh is going to be a wonderful big sister!  Today, she came up to my belly, pulled my shirt up, kissed my belly and said Brother Braxy.  She then called herself "Sister."   She's been walking around the house, pointing to Braxton's clothes and toys and such saying "Braxy's." 

Hopefully we have prepared her enough  for his arrival!

Cheap Eyeglasses- Coastalcontacts.com

Go to facebook and like the company Coastal Contacts.  Twice in the past two weeks, they have given a coupon code out to their fans, for a FREE pair of eyeglasses!  The first time I missed this opportunity because my old eye doctor's office is run by some high schoolers who don't know what they are doing, and I couldn't get my prescription. 

I was so sad that I missed this deal because I have worn my current glasses so much, they are all scratched up and yucky!

Much to my surprise, Thursday, I logged onto facebook and saw this amazing deal being offered again!  After several phone calls, and bouncing back and forth between several people, I finally got a copy of my prescription, and was one of the lucky 10,000 to receive a FREE pair of eyeglasses!  I had to pay for shipping (7.95 for UPS ground, 5 day delivery) and like 6 bucks for handling, for a total of 14.07!

I didn't expect this company to offer this amazing deal again, so chances are they might just do it a third time!  So, if you or someone you know needs prescription glasses for the cheap, this sight (site) ;oP might be the place for you!

MMmmmm.... Starbucks....

So, from Thursday, November 18- Sunday, November 21 you can buy 1 holiday drink from starbucks and get 1 holiday drink free!   Valid from 2-5 pm.   We scored 1 venti peppermint frappuccino and 1 venti peppermint mocha latte for $5!!!    Starbucks is my number 1 guilty pleasure, and I plan on making the hubby go back tomorrow for another!  :o)

Shutterfly Rocks!

For all of my fellow frugal mom's out there, THE holiday card deal of the year has arrived!  Go to:  tp://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.shutterfly.com%2F5358%2Fholiday2010-blog-submission-form%2F&h=d65ea 
for more details!

Shutterfly is absolutely amazing!  They have so many products, such as Christmas cards, photo books, and photo gifts, I have a hard time choosing what to buy for friends and family.  My all-time favorite is the photo mug- Bayleigh's grandparents all received one last year, and they were a hit!  Next on my list of items to purchase are the collage photo mousepad and a deck of playing cards with Bayleigh and Braxton's picture on them (when he arrives, that is!) 

Words cannot begin to describe all of the awesome products that http://www.shutterfly.com/ has!  There is definitely something for everyone, and when in doubt this holiday season, buy a photo gift- it is sure to be loved!

These are just a few of the cards that I am having a hard time deciding between.  :o)

I really like this "Ho Ho Ho" design because it's Christmasey, yet still playful.  I also love having the ability to write inside of this card, which adds a wonderful personal touch!

I think that I like this one just a little bit more than the other one.  Actually, this will probably be the card that we go with, if I can get the hubby to agree.  I love it because it is festive yet not too "traditional."  I love the way the bright colors contrast on the black background. 

Big Sister Bayleigh

In less than two months, I will forever be known as "Big Sister Bayleigh."  I cannot wait to meet my baby brother, Braxton!  I love to kiss and blow raspberries on my mommy's belly!  I love pretending to push Braxton, and my friend baby Hudson, around in my baby doll's stroller.  I also love to cuddle up with Braxton's blanket that Auntie Lara made for him!
