Giveaway alert!!

Coupon Bag Giveaway These are SOOOO cute! I just might have to buy one if I don't win. :)
Here are a few more pictures from our vacation.


Here's Corgan's new do... such a big boy! His baby locks are gone! I love it though.
At this moment I'm hearing Corgan fussing. Marshall is cutting his hair all off. I'm a little sad but it desperately needed to be done. I can't wait to see the final product!! I'm not allowed back there. haha

I promise more pictures are coming from our vacation. I'll try to get them uploaded and re-sized tonight. I have to remember to get the ones off of Marshall's CF card too cause there are some CUTE pictures of Corgan in the hot tub on his. Corgan LOVED the hot tub.

I need to meal plan today for the week. We have lots of meat left over that I bought for our vacation. We're having hot italian sausages tonight. Will grab some veggies to go with it.

Ok, so Wendy tagged me so it's time for me to respond. I'm still feeling tired from vacation...so bare with me.

1. I'm a total pack rat. Pair that with hating to clean and it's not a pretty picture. I still clean though....to make for a happy husband.

2. I love getting handwritten letters and cards but I don't send them myself.

3. Whenever my nails are long I constantly press them against my lips to see how far it goes.

4. I almost constantly have an ulcer on my ear. It's rather uncomfortable sometimes.

5. I hate buying groceries without a sale or coupons.

6. I play with my son's toys when he sleeps.

7. I love to sew.

I tag Florabeth, Wen, Samantha, Emily, Julie, April, and Lori.

I am writing to you from our cabin in the Smoky Mountains. We have a GORGEOUS view! The picture doesn't even do it justice. I'm in awe of God's creation. We've lounged around for a good bit. We got here Saturday afternoon. We went shopping some yesterday and out to lunch. The lunch was horrible but oh well. I got some good deals at the Carter's outlet for Corgan. I went out and bought myself some clothes today. Marshall gave me a limit of money to spend and told me to buy me some clothes. I bought 5 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. I then bought Corgan a few more pieces at another Carter's outlet....there are 3 here and they're having a GREAT sale! When I got back I made us some supper. I think we're going to drive over to Cades Cove tomorrow. I hope Corgan enjoys it. Hopefully we'll see some deer and get some good pictures to share.

Oh....Corgan popped tooth #16 yesterday! He got in the hot tub with daddy today. He's been wonderful on vacation! I'm so proud of my little man!

I haven't done many trips shopping for groceries lately. We've been eating off what we already had in the house. That needs to be done every now and then. It frees up space in your pantry, fridge, and freezer plus saves you money. I have a LOT of coupons that expire soon. I need to look through them and see what I can use before they expire. Otherwise I need to pass them to someone who will use them.

I'm getting really excited about our vacation! It's finally almost here! We leave on Saturday morning!!!! Pigeon Forge here I come!!! I have a good bit of cleaning, straightening and packing to do in the next two days to get ready. I need to make sure that we have everything we need for Corgan. We'll be gone for a week. I'm just hoping and praying that he sleeps and is in a good mood. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make the drive and time up there a happy time for a 15 month old?

Here are pictures as promised!


























This is HEAVEN to me right now! Lots of fabric to choose from! The cow print is no-pill fleece. The rest of it is flannel. My favorite thing to do now is look through the clearance fabric and finding flannel people didn't want for 50% off. It's a deal to me! hehe I made one baby wipe last night with double flannel. I like it so far. I'll see if I can make a few more with the flannel scraps from making diapers.

I'm not only frugal in my grocery shopping. Lately I've been on a sewing kick. Sam, you'd be proud of me! I'm quite proud of my handiworks. Right now I've mainly be working on making cloth diapers for Corgan. I want some come up with some things I can make with my scraps from that. I'm looking towards making some baby wipes or unpaper towels. It's leftover flannel so either of those would work great! I plan on trying to make a Mei Tai baby carrier soon too. I need to buy the fabric for it. I'd like to get that done before we go on vacation next month so we can use it. Not sure what all else I'll make up. I need to get pictures of my diapers so far so I can share.
