Holiday Cards from Shutterfly!

With the upcoming holiday season I have decided to continue sending out holiday cards to the people in my address book. Part of it stems from my love for mail... the other from my love of pictures. Each time I upload my photos to my computer, I also upload my photos to Shutterfly.com. I feel good about having my photos on a website in the awful incident that my computer crashes or something goes wrong with my camera. I love their products too! I have recently made books for family members and myself with pictures of Ry-Guy over his first year. Shutterfly has GREAT customer service and is reasonably priced.

We haven't taken our photo yet this year, but when we do, I will upload it to Shutterfly and order my cards! Click here for a link to some of my favorite cards! There are so many cute ones, it takes me forever to decide on the one I will select for the season.

Sometimes we have people on our list that are difficult to find gifts for... here are some ideas for gifts you might be able to make for the loved ones in your family needing the perfect gift...

Mugs from Shutterfly can be found here and would be perfect with a coffee gift card inside!

Will you be sending out holiday cards this year?

Have a blessed Thanksgiving all! I hope to be blogging more and more with the upcoming year!

Long Time No Read!

I haven't blogged in forever. I love to read blogs, but never take the time to sit down and write up my own. I know I should, maybe I will get better now that Ry-guy is getting older.

Here is the most recent picture of my little love (and his side kick Gracie Lu) from Halloween...

It's WOODY from Toy Story!

I am really looking forward to the holidays this year. Ry-guy is a fun age and reignites the spark in the magic of the holidays. I am so lucky to have an incredible family to share this memorable time of year with me.

Why did I start blogging again? I found a special offer from Shutterfly to blog about them and get 50 free holiday cards... I know... REALLY! I love Shutterfly- I upload all of my photos to their website and have made several photo books for myself and family. If you haven't checked out their website, you should! www.shutterfly.com

NEW iPHONE!

I am so excited!!! My birthday was wonderful this year for so many reasons. JLo and I went to Monterey and stayed over night (in our favorite hotel with dinner at our favorite restaurant) while Ry-guy stayed the night with Gramz and Pops. We had a great time, but I missed my little mister!

The hotel we love to stay at...

My favorite restaurant

One of my most exciting gifts was my new iPHONE!!!! I have wanted one for a long time, but kept telling myself that I didn't need one... and I still don't... BUT... I love it! I was GIDDY all day!

It's official, I am 30 minus 1. I decided to say my age this way so that when I turn 30 next year, it won't be so hard to say!

I am a lucky girl with so many blessings.

Thanks to my friends and family for making my birthday so wonderful! I am ready for another exciting year!

Happy Birthday to KACIE!!

Kacie and I have been best friends since high school (really it seems like forever!!). We stayed in close touch through college and now I talk to her almost everyday on the phone. We each served as the other's M.O.H. for our big days and our friendship continues to grow with all of life's changes. She is more than a friend, another sister.

Kacie has a caring heart and a kind word. She is usually a "mom" to everyone in her life, caring and watching out for us. She is a very special person to me and I hope TODAY she feels the love and friendship from all of her friends and family!!

Kace- here is to incredible memories and good times to come! Love ya!

I am BACK!

My Computer is BAAAACK!!!

My poor Macbook Pro was sick. Thank goodness my dad added the Applecare warranty to the computers when he bought them- YOU R

OCK DAD! The Rx for my computer didn't cost anything under this special deal. I will definitely make sure any future computer purchases have the extra warranty.

Now I am back... just need to make a little more time for blogging!

I love my Apple... do you love your computer or what?!

Have a great week! (Maybe I will do Thankful Thursday this week)
