Giveaway – Booty Shapers

When I first got an email saying that a company was sending me “Booty Shapers” to blog about, I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to!  Then I read further and found out they are a product for BOOTs and I was relieved. 🙂

Booty Shapers are “blow up” inserts that you place in your boots.  This helps them stay up right so you don’t get creases on the boots from the tops being flopped over.

I really like this product.  They are very easy to use and get the job done.  I have several pairs of boots so this is very nice for me to have.  They also come in several cute colors and designs. And at Approx. $9.95 they are perfect stocking stuffers!

Want to win a pair? You’re in luck! 🙂

Cradle Rock Giveaway!

Cradle Rock CDs featuring “Johnny Cash” “Kenny Chesney” and “Michael Jackson” are great for any ages!

Taken from their website ““Cradle Rock” , a series of children’s lullaby albums produced and created by Brash Music and Tree Top Records, hit stores and digital distribution channels October 25th. Cradle Rock uses vibraphones, glockenspiels and mellotrons to turn iconic songs and albums by top artists such as Kenny Chesney and Johnny Cash into naptime-friendly listening material. With Cradle Rock, parents can introduce their children to some of the greatest albums ever recorded including the first ever urban album turned into lullabies, Michael Jackson’s Thriller (released 29 years ago November 30^th).

You may think these are parody music, but they aren’t.  They are instrumental remakes of the classics.  They are great “background” music for a party or while you’re doing something around the house. I really enjoyed listening to the soft music and I’m sure Elizabeth will too when she gets just a little bit older.

Butter Bell Winner

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

Hello!!  I am SO SO sorry that it’s taken me this long to update!  I have a crazy life now with Elizabeth.  I wouldn’t change it for anything though!!

Congrats to Terri at PennyAnnPoundwise!

Please email me (ninabeth19 at gmail dot com) your address within 24 hours and we’ll get it shipped to you!

Soooo, to make this up to y’all, what would you say to a WEEK’S worth of giveaways?!  Okay!  I’ll post the first one in just a little bit.  Get ready for some fun!!

Don’t lose hope!

This Spring, John and I had grand plans for planting a garden.  John made a raised bed and we planted tomato plants, bell pepper plants, jalapeno pants and a squash plant (maybe some other stuff too that I don’t remember anymore).  But, When Ms. Elizabeth came we had NO time to tend to the garden.  So after many months of us completely  ignoring the garden, I decided to go look at it last night.

It’s pretty bad right?  You can’ t even see the posts or anything! BUT upon closer look, look at what I found!

and

I counted 17 green tomatoes and 4 baby bell peppers and I picked about 9 jalapenos!!  Now we’re in a race to get them to grow before the first frost.  Anyone have any tips on how to make them grow/ripen faster?

Shutterfly, oh how I love thee, let me count the ways…

I love Shutterfly! I have been using their site for my photo needs for several years now and I have never once been disappointed in their products.  A few weeks ago I ordered Fall cards and I was shocked at the quality of them. They are printed on thick paper and the pictures are printed very clear.  When I heard about Shutterfly offering bloggers 50 free photocards to blog about their Christmas cards, I knew I wanted to apply! And I was thrilled when I was chosen!  I’ve been looking at their photocards for over an hour (no joke!) and I just can’t decide which is my favorite design!

They have Religious Christmas Cards which I love.  I always want to send out some sort of religious Christmas card, but normally the designs are so blah and boring.  But Shutterfly has some great designs this year!

Cute right?  But wait, there’s more. They have a HUGE assortment of regular Christmas Cards.  I really like to put multiple photos on a card (I just have such a hard time narrowing down the choices!), so I really love this card

And if you are feeling extra ambitious, how cute are these Holiday Gift Tags? Here is my favorite.

Wouldn’t that be super cute on a gift?  Especially if it was wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine?  Okay, maybe I’m getting a little carried away.  But, whatever the case may be, you need to check out Shutterfly when placing your holiday card order this year.  They have so many designs to choose from that your sure to find something you love!  They are always running a special also so make sure to look at their homepage.

Would you like to Blog about Shutterfly and recieve 50 free holiday cards too?  Visit here for details.

Win It Wednesday – Butter Bell

Recently, I was given the opportunity to review a Butter Bell® Crock.  I often get frustrated with butter that’s too hard to spread.  Many times I resort to using margarine or something similar, but it never tastes the same as real butter.  When I was asked to review a Butter Bell® Crock I was so excited.  Not only would this (hopefully!) end my butter frustrations, but it’s also really cute!  I was able to choose which design I wanted, so I chose the deep red to match my kitchen (since it sits on the counter, I wanted it to look cute!).

Isn’t it cute!  All you do is put 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) into the lid, then put a couple of inches of water into the crock, put the lid on it and you have ready to spread butter whenever you want!  It really works too.  It’s been relatively chilly the last week or so and I haven’t turned on my heater yet so my house has been pretty cold and the butter is still easy to spread whenever!  You just need to change the water every 3 days to keep it fresh.

Butter Bell® Crock is currently running a Christmas Special – But 2 Crocks, Get 1 Free!  So, you can buy 2 for people on your Christmas list and keep the 3rd one for yourself!

In addition to having the Butter Bell® Crocks, they also have other really cute items like vases, salt and pepper shakers, creamer pitchers, etc.

You think this sounds wonderful and you have to have one? Well, Guess what! The nice folks at Butter Bell have given me the opportunity to give a reader a Butter Bell crock also!

Halloween Costume

Recently I was given the opportunity to review a costume from Costume Supercenter.  Originally they wanted me to review one of their many Thanksgiving Costumes, but the smallest size they come in is 2T, so they agreed to let me review a Halloween costume!  They have lots of infant costumes including many bunting options for really little babies.  Elizabeth is starting to explore more and I knew she would want something that she could easily move around in.  When I saw the Pink Little Lamb costume, I knew that’s what Elizabeth should be for Halloween!

Doesn’t Elizabeth make THE CUTEST little lamb?  (I know, I think I may be a little partial to her cuteness. 🙂 )  The costume was made REALLY well.  The fabric was very soft and felt good on Elizabeth’s skin.  We did put a onsie on under the costume, but Elizabeth loved to play with the hat (I think she thought we got her a new toy).  My mom is an experienced sewer and she was really impressed with the workmanship of the costume.  I really liked that the headpiece is completely separate from the body. When she got too warm (It was 80 degrees on Halloween!! Crazyness!) we were able to completely take off the hood and she was still very cute in the costume.  I also really liked that the arm “hooves” can be folded up so Elizabeth was able to use her hands throughout the evening. The only Con I have (which is really minor) is that her ears wouldn’t stick out like in the picture, but I think her floppy ears are really cute too!

Make sure you check out Costume Supercenter the next time you’re in the market for a costume of any sort!

Getting all dressed up. I wonder if anyone will recognize me...

On my way trick or treating!

Aren't I a cute lamb?

Just chillin' with my pumpkins...

Hmm, which kind of candy do I want...

Nothing New November – Saving Money!

Nothing New November.  It’s something that our friends Brian and Emily have started.  They are trying to get to their savings goal by the end of the year.  It’s really made me think of how wasteful I’ve been with our money lately.  A majority of my maternity leave was unpaid and during that time I did so good on watching our budget and saving extra money. BUT since then, I have done AWFUL with saving money.  We’ve been going out to eat waaay too much and I’ve been buying Elizabeth every cute thing I find.

John has given me a budget of $300 to spend this month (aside from bills, mortgage, etc.) This $300 is for all Walmart trips, food purchases, “fun” things, EVERYTHING!  I’m anxious to see how well I do, but I think I may go over budget…. Hopefully not though!

Why are we doing this hard core saving?  I am sick and tired of having a car payment (and mortgage payment too, but let’s not get crazy yet! 🙂 ).  I have about $7,500 left on my car loan.  I would really really like to get it paid off before May. I know, that seems kinda crazy, especially if you knew how little money we make.  But that’s okay!  I know it will be hard, but I really want to see if we can do it.  I think it will be “fun”, okay, fun really isn’t the right adjective…. It’ll be and adventure though!!

 

So far I haven’t spent any money!  Let’s hope it stays that way for a while!! 🙂
