Look at this adorable wedding cake cookie cutter!

I believe this lip balm is wedding flavored too; I want one!

Here is the latest in cupcake "attire"! These fancy liners allow the cupcakes to sit right inside and don't involve you having to peel them off like the old style of cupcake liners! I loooove the white picket fence one shown here:)

These retro looking cupcake apron is very SWEET looking too!

Cupcake buttons/pins for you to wear.

Love this coffee mug with all the cupcakes on it:)

Wishful thinking;)

Look at this cute Vera Bradley hand bag, the pattern is "Raspberry Fizz". When it came out I didn't think that I liked the pattern till I saw it in person; its so pretty and Springy!

I think I am just about ready for Spring! We have pretty much had snow for about 3 months now. I want to take walks outside again, plant flowers, and most of all... buy some new spring clothes!! Ugh, it is torture to see all the cute, bright colors of Spring in the clothing stores!! My favorite clothing store would have to be Old Navy; cute and stylish, affordable too. I actually worked at an Old Navy here for 2 years; we had a NICE discount!! Gosh, I miss that job!

Love this top! Nice flowy bottom to hide the mommy belly!

Flip-flops!! Need I say more? I know they are sooo bad for you to wear but I love them soooo much! Old Navy usually has them 2 for $5.00! I looove paisley too:)

Some for Valentine's Day!

Cute, Cute, Cute little flats with pink on them!!!

Ugh, I want this shirt so bad!! Would be super cute with jeans or dress pants! I am so drawn to black and brown, ALWAYS!!

Now, I love the colors in this one but not sure if I could pull off the stripes? They are kinda slanted instead of horizontal, which are bad to wear!!

Here is a cute lil raincoat in pink for my mom, Lori who will soon be crowned the "Queen of Pink"!! Please vote for her once a day! The link is on the top of my side bar!!

And I'll take one in black and white!!

Simple white sweater that goes with anything!

Here is a cute patterned Yoga Jacket and Pants:) I don't do yoga but I do work out to an awesome video at home, and am proud to announce that I have lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks!! YAY! I have really trying to eat better and not snack much! I need to lose another 30-40 lbs. That is my goal for the sake of my health and well, I want to look really good in my wedding dress!

Simple colored v-neck t-shirts are my #1 staple in the spring and summer! I'll take one in pink, the green and purple, please!!

Hope you enjoyed "shopping" with me:)
Ahhh... thank goodness tax time is coming!! LOL

Give-Aways!!

Mary Ellen from Its Me I Think, is having a give-away at her blog. She is giving away some Strawberry shower gel, a Linen scented candle, a cute bracelet with a tea pot on it and an assortment of scrapbook paper! Pop on over to visit her and enter. I found her through my sweet Pea at Pea's Corner.

It's getting close to my 100th POST GIVE-AWAY!!!

The theme for my give-away is Valentine's!! Be sure to keep checking back to see what you can win:) I should have everything posted by the end of this week. The drawing will begin when I announce what is included in my 100th Post Give-Away:)

Today is a little bit of a better day. Gavin is home sick from school, he doesn't have bronchitis though, just a viral infection. So I am not getting my usual accomplished today with 2 kiddo's home. My "spring" semester starts tomorrow and I am taking 10 credit hours this semester= 4 classes, one of them is super easy though. So tomorrow will be my 1st day back for this semester; no night classes this term so that is nice! I go to 2 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-2:15 pm. I am taking another Math class, ugh!! A Computers in Education class, Sociology and Health & Wellness. I think I am taking either a History and/or a Spanish class this summer! I just hope I continue to do as well as I did last semester:) I know my girls will pray for me though, right???

Another award!!

Today was a rough day for me! My husband to be was not very nice today and made me really upset!!! UGH! MEN!!!

But, my sweet gal pal Priscilla of Casa Bella Chic, gave me the Kreativ Blogger Award! Yippee:) Its nice to know someone else appreciates who I am:) This is my 2nd time receiving this award; Holly from Girls at Heart awarded me the first time!

I have had so much fun blogging especially in the past month and meeting so many new lovely ladies with interests like mine. You gals have inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and try the things I have always wanted to try, but didn't think that I could accomplish! THANK YOU, THANK YOU; It means so much to me!!!

Thanks again Priscilla, you made my day much better:)

No business like SNOW business!!

Be proud of me! I sucked it up and took the boys out to play in the snow:) I hate the cold! We had soooo much fun sledding down our driveway and it was the first time Gage has ever played in the snow!! Isn't that pitiful? We've gone out one other time this year to sled, but Gage was napping that day.

You digging me in Brian's stocking hat? LOL Gavin said, "You look like a guy, ugly!!" I NEVER wear hats, I am too fussy about my hair to wear them. I asked him if I'd look better in pink one and he said "Yeah!"

Gavin getting ready to take off after he smashed dirty snow on the garage door making it look so lovely! haha

And down he goes!! Our driveway is a good slope, so we get the momentum going!!

"Watch out Gage!!"

Silly Gavin!

Here is my Gage in his pudgey man snow pants!!

He did not want to sled with Gavin at first but once they started going, he began to laugh!!

"Whee!!"

He wandered over to the neighbors driveway and was watching a bunch of crows fly over.

Look at that booty!!

2 brothers playing in the snow!

Cold cheekies! He had so much fun though! He kept saying "Snow, snow!"

Here is my heart wreath on the front door; I forgot to add it in on my post the other day. Isn't it cute? I think my mom bought it for me a couple years back.

Well, I am off to bed EARLY tonite.
I stayed up till after midnight watching a stupid movie last night!
Fun day tomorrow, I'm meeting one friend that I haven't seen in like 11 years for coffee at Starbucks then I am meeting my BFF to go and see the "BRIDE WARS" movie; it look so cute and funny!
