So Sweet..
This past week we went on a Mini road trip to Greenville, SC with Stephen's parents to visit his Grandmom (Gracie's Great Grandma) whom she's never met and her new cousin Lucas- plus his parents Jim and Ilma from Lithuania and other cousins, and Aunts. Her most favorite was a sweet little boy named Elijah:) She love, loved him so much. She would kiss his head, rub his head, want to hold him, hug him, and "try" to take care of him- needless to say it was REALLY so cute and it makes me think of the future so much more! She will be a wonderful Big sister "one day":) I love seeing her interact with little babies!

Brand New ME!!
Today, I got my haircut! I love, love it.... I have always had my hair done by my mom but since we have moved up here to LC, I've had a hard time finding someone as great as her (love you, mom). I had a friend from MOM'S Club tell me about Southern Exposure and so I gave them a try and this is how it turned out.......
'
'I love it so much, don't you?!? Because of a sweet friend I was able to get pampered by my hubby and feel good about myself too...
Hope you all have a great weekend!!
LOVE

Wacky Wednesday!
T
First off- Let me tell you why- I called today Wacky Wednesday is because of this picture right here! Gracie ALWAYS- ALWAYS manages to get out of her straps. Yes, I know its dangerous, Yes I know she will get hurt badly if we were to wreck.. BUT- we have tried everything- its tightened and we have even changed car seats but this little Miss Smartness knows how to open them. What we found is if we tapped the thing closed it makes it harder to open it... HAHA I posted this on FB so that people would see how funny she looks when she throws fits (they are a daily thing now a days) and everyone went crazy over the strap issue!! Haha Just goes to show you- maybe its not a good idea to post -EVERYTHING on FB!!
LOL
On to Target- I just love Target! I love everything about that store! When you walk in they have their new carts- The $1 section is so fun too!! I love their clothes and shoes for Big girls aka me LOL and for little girls aka Gracie! The other day at Wal-mart I bought a really cute bathing suit- so I thought- well, today at Target I found one even cuter!! Gracie Birthday party is at a Splash Pad so she needed something cute....Here are a few pictures of what I found today:) I love having a girl to dress up! OMW its so much fun!

Who likes Free Stuff.... Me, Me!
I love FREE stuff! Since I married Steve, he has made me a caffeine loving, Ibuprofen taking, coupon clipping machine.. LOL
Lately, though I have been one upping him in the coupon saving department and I have been getting FREE samples.. Yeah, I know what your thinking- Sample?! Who wants those, the stuff is usually small and you dont get much of it.. Well, let me tell you I have found where you can get not only "small" samples but also "BIG" samples- Free coupons for food items is one thing and then actual full sized products.
Take what I got today in the mail for example: I saw on Keeping Cents (you have to check this site out- too cool) where if you signed up for Target Beauty Bag they would actually ship you free sample stuff PLUS over $25 worth of coupons what I didn't know is that it would come so soon and in such a cute little case!
You can find Keeping cents on Facebook (add her as a friend) or you can click the link I provided!
Being a stay at home mom- means we have a tight budget which in turn means "Not" much shopping so finding these cool samples makes my day!
A few tips when doing samples:
Never give out your actual email- make up a new email that is only for samples because you don't want the junk mail!
This was a day maker for me! Try it you wont be disappointed.. PROMISE:))
PS Check out All You because they will actually email you the new hot samples of the day too!!

90 Minutes in Heaven
Ever wonder what Heaven will be like? Ever think about the people who have since passed and wonder what they are doing? I have been pondering this for awhile. I also have been worrying about the future and what it will hold too. The Lord has been working on my heart and letting me know that its okay to ask questions but in the end to know that we have to put our trust in him and not to worry about things that we can not handle. I am reminded of this verse. Hope it puts some ease in your mind if you struggle with worry too!
I found a book called 90 minutes in Heaven and its an awesome read! Its short book (just how I like it, because being a mom- its hard to find time to read) and really uplifting. Its a True Story about a man by the name of Don Piper who actually dies at the scene of a car crash he was involved in. For at least 90 minutes he is dead then because of prayer he comes back to life and shares his story of what he saw in heaven. One thing I really thought was neat is that when he got to heaven there were people who had lead him to Christ waiting to welcome him in. He said it was so amazing that he had a hard time describing it. He also said that at the end of the 90 minutes he heard singing and it was like everyone was singing songs to God but all at one time and he said that it was so beautiful.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take."
Proverbs 3:5-6 New Living Translation
