Shutterfly Holiday Card Deal

I have never done a Christmas card before but thought it would be fun to do them now that we have Wyatt in our lives. PLUS, even better, Shutterfly is giving away 50 free cards just by writing a review on my blog.

One of my favorite cards is called Holiday Window.

My friend works at Shutterfly and always raves about them.  They have all kinds of great products to choose from.

So, if you want to get in on the deal, too, go here for more details. I’m excited to get my 50 free holiday cards!

Giraffe Reupholstered Chair



I have had this chair for almost 3 year.  I purchased it with the plan to reuphoster it.  I wish I would have taken a before picture, but I didn't. Here is the finished product. Many thanks to Brooke for her help. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.



Voting Day

We voted yesturday and I learned two things: 1) You can take a cheat seat in with you. (What was I thinking all these years trying to memorize everything) 2) You don't have to vote in the little cube that is set up. You can go outside. You can go to your car.  You can take it home and bring it back later. (Ideal when you have a tired/whinney baby.)

There is a new balance of power in our Nation. President Obama and his party were delt a serious blow last night loosing several key Senate, House and Govenor races. We now have control of the House. Now maybe we can see some changes.

Happy Halloween!

 Wyatt is a monster this year. Are you scared?

My Birthday

Carson brought me home a dozen long stem red roses for my birthday.  They are beautiful! He also got me some twisted silver jewelry. I love it all! Check out their stuff. It's pricey but so worth it. (twisted-silver.com) We went to lunch at Macaroni Grill and then got some ice cream at Cold Stone. Then we went to the Stake Trunk or Treat and then celebrated some more at Applebee's and shared a blondie. Yum Yum!!

It was a great Birthday! Thanks Cars!

Pumpkin & Candy Corn Halloween Jar Luminaries

My friend, Brooke, found these online and this is my attempt at copying them. They would be fun to put outside and light at night but since we can't put these outside because of HOA rules they are inside this year.

I Love It!

Wyatt is the best! I really enjoy being a mom.  I had no idea how much I would love it. I feel really blessed to have in our home. He has such a sweet spirit. He is a very content baby that just loves taking it all in.  It's been fun watching him grow these past few months.  It's true what they say - they really do grow up too fast.
