Giveaway

Ok I guess I didn't explain it very well so I edited my post but thought Id explain better. Its $20 off. They used coupon codes instead of gift certificates since its done online. You just need to have $20 in your cart and it will take that amount off. So basically you'd just pay shipping. :)

Ever Blessed, Ever Grateful Review and GIVEAWAY!!

November is a month of giving thanks. There are so many things that I am thankful for in life but this year there are two BIG things that I am thankful for. The first is that my mom is here. She has been through so much up and down in the last month that I really began to wonder if she would even be here for the holidays. She is an amazing mom, grandmother, and friend and I would be completely lost without her. The other big thing I am thankful for this year is for the opportunity to stay home with my little man. I worked about a year after coming back from my leave and there was not a day that went by that I didn't hope and dream that someday I would get to stay home. I know that trusting the Lord in His perfect timing is something that I may always struggle with but His timing was exactly perfect for me to stay home. Between our daycare closing and my mom's bad health, this was the exact time that I needed to quit working and begin taking care of my little man and also my mom. I am so thankful that my husband was able to find a new job and that we are able to make ends meet without my income! 2011 has been such an amazing year and I can't wait to see all of the amazing things that I will be thankful for next year too!

A friend of mine recently did a review on her blog and as I looked further into it I registered my info and hoped to get an item to review too!

Well a week later a box showed up at our door and this beauty was inside:

What girl who likes to cook and LOVES to bake wouldn't want an adorable apron to do it in? This apron is a great size, tie neck strap and has a huge tie in the back. Some of the cute aprons I have seen out there have a small tie in the back and are not really a one size fits all like this one. It has a couple of cute pockets in the front and 2 ruffles at the bottom. My favorite part of it is the saying on it: ever blessed, ever grateful. It's perfect for the holidays coming up and all the cooking I will be doing but it will also be something that will last me a long time!


Now comes the best part of all of this! YOU have the opportunity to win a $20 coupon code to www.dayspring.com!(the code does not include shipping and you must have $20 or more in your cart and it will take $20 off. So if you only spend 20 then all you pay is shipping :) ). All you need to do is check out their website and leave a comment below with what you would use your coupon for from dayspring.

Halloween Cuteness Overload!

Ah Halloween. How you were once a holiday that I dreaded! Little kids dressed up in adorable costumes, walking around with their excited parents equals disaster for an infertile. Its a day where most of us would be the scrooge of the neighborhood and turns our lights off and hid inside because we couldn't bear to see the tiny people dressed up adorably!

Last year we were on the beach in Florida for Halloween. This year was different. This year was the first year we took our little guy out to a few houses and as all parents say "he was the cutest kid I have ever seen".  After my little guy went to bed I sat back and reflected on these last 17 months. They have been filled with so much happiness and replaced so much grief and sorrow in my life. They have given me a new purpose. Yes I am still infertile and yes I am still continuing to struggle with wanting more children and wondering how and when that will ever happen but right now my purpose in life is to mommy to an adorable, full of life, little man and I am enjoying this season so much right now! I also reflected on how thankful I am that my husband has given me the chance to stay home full time. He works longer days and commutes further away so that I am able to be with our little man and I don't think I'll ever be able to thank him enough for giving me this!

Well anyways that was a whole lot of random thoughts mixed into one but here's what you really want to see:
