Review and Giveaway for Sara B Creations!!!!

This is a wonderful Etsy Site that I have found! Sara makes beautiful handmade cards, bookmarks, and tags!


She sent me a bookmark with my name on it that I LOVE!!! Currently I was using a sales ad and am so excited to now have this gorgeous bookmark!


She also sent me this cute card! I love the cupcake design and that the ribbon has glitter on it! This would be the perfect card for a baby girl shower gift!! It is also the perfect size to attach to the front of a gift or gift bag to make it more personal!






The last item was a beautiful gift tag! It has music notes with green sparkles surrounding them. I really like the size of the tag too! It is big enough that you could write a message on it when giving it on a gift!

Sara B has tons of lovely cards and tags on her etsy site. She is also willing to do custom orders! The items came in a great resealable bag. I will definately be buying items from her in the future!!!!

Major Freak Out!!!!!

So, this morning I had a major freak out that I thought I would share with all of you. Joshy and I were having breakfast. He had wanted an egg this morning. I have been trying to get him to want one at least once a week to get him more used to them since he had "outgrown his allergy". He had, much to my suprise, eaten his WHOLE egg and wanted another one. I happily made him a second one. He was half way through the second one when I notice him stratching. He had only a diaper on since he had wet his clothes sometime during the night. I pull out his chair and red blotches were all over his entire stomach!!!



I was starting to get worried. I took him out of his seat and his whole back was covered in red bloches too!



His mouth was also blochy.



I took the pictures so if the allergist asked me "what exactly did it look like" I could show him. Gave him a bath and got some benadryl in him. Then, it was time to call the allergist. The nurse was very suprised but said, "Don't let him eat any more eggs" (I had already figured that one out!) and that they would call later to let us know what else to do. Thankfully, his bloches went away after about a half an hour......but Mommy can't take this happening very often!!!! He is now sound asleep.....he feel asleep in less than five minutes and I have a feeling the benadryl has some to do with that.

The item I won!!!

This is the beautiful foor plaque that I won from SnickerDoodle Kids Art!!!! All I did was tell her my son's name and a theme and she came up with this wonderful plaque!!!! She also makes really cute bow holders....perfect to hold Lizzie's Lovelies Bows!!!

YEAH!!!!!

I WON TODAY!!!!! I never win anything and because of Deal Wise Mommy (wonderful site, her button is on the side and if you like to win free stuff make sure to join her blog!:) and Snickerdoodle kids art (http://snickerdoodlekids.blogspot.com) I won a great sign for Joshy's room!!! It is going to be designed with different sports balls on it (I know, Joshy's all time favorite thing!) I can't wait to see it and I will definately post a pic once I get it.
Joshy was also excited today because Grandma and Grandpa Eighmey got him a really cool big wheel (more like a tricycle but they wanted a big wheel). HE LOVES IT!!! His legs are too short so he can't quite reach the pedals but he has learned how to push using his feet! He was having soooooo much fun riding it and playing with Grandma! I only took video today since he was soooo cute but I will try to get some pics tomorrow to post.

Opinion's wanted!!!!

So, I made a new headband tonight. I REALLY like it....for myself, but I want to know what my customers think. Would you buy this for yourself (an adult)? Would you buy this for your baby? Would you buy this for your daughter (grade school, middle school, or high school)? Please let me know what you think so I can decide if I should add these to my store. Thanks so much!!!!

Please pray for my back. It has really been hurting since yesterday and seems to be getting worse. Thankfully my mother-in-law lives in town and is wonderful and willing to help out, so I might be calling on her tomorrow. Please pray that I wake up with a non-hurting back!

We had our wonderful friends over tonight and Joshy was thrilled to get to see "His Evie". Evie and Bella were wonderful enough to pose for some great pictures with my new bows. I have added one of Evie for you....hope you like it! I REALLY like this bow!! I can also make it with I Love Daddy, My Aunt (or Auntie), Grandma, or God Mommy!! Evie might be getting an I love my God Mommy one from her god mommy!!!

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!

We got WONDERFUL news today!!! My son has outgrown his peanut allergy!!! My son is allergic to a lot of stuff for being only 2 years old....the list was eggs, peanuts, milk, walnut, and pecans. He has now tested out of both eggs and peanuts! YEAH!!! Personally, I can live with him being allergic to walnuts and pecans since those are tree nuts and easier to avoid then other stuff! I am hoping that he outgrows the milk allergy! The picture above is Joshy eating a piece of peanut butter toast! For dinner we celebrated by having grilled peanut butter, one of my all time favorites! On Friday, our good friends are throwing us a peanut butter and jelly party!


Funny line from Joshy this morning: He was extremely grumpy this morning because we had to wake him up to go to the allergist. He wouldn't smile at anyone. So finally I asked him if he was going to smile at anyone today? He responded, "smile at Evie". Evie is my one-year-old god daughter!

Busy, busy weekend!!

Do you ever have a weekend where Sunday night rolls around and you are almost looking forward to Monday to get back to normal?! Note: I said ALMOST looking forward to Monday!

We had a very busy, long weekend. My husband took off work Friday and we went to CoCo Key which is an indoor water park. My son, Joshy, has been terrified of all non-bath water forever but had seemed to start liking it more recently so we decided to give this a try. He LOVED it! He spent the whole day in the water, splashing, and going down water slides! We went with great friends of ours so he had a blast getting to spend time with them too! We didn't get home until really late that night, but it was a very fun day!

Saturday, my niece, became my God Daughter! First niece, Second God Daughter and what a wonderful blessing!! We are so blessed to have all of our nephews and now our niece in our lives and to get the special blessing of also being her God parent is so wonderful! We love and adore all of our God children and we are so happy to have Regina (Gia) joining this special group!

Today, my husband and father-in-law went to get the new swing set that we were transplanting to our yard.....unfortunately, it didn't go as planned. So, now we have many parts of a swing set in our yard and, hopefully, next weekend will get a new swing set. I told my father-in-law and husband that they will be getting calls from Joshy everytime this week he gets upset about having the pieces but not a swing set!

Getting ready to go watch the season premiere of Army Wives!!!! I didn't realize it started tonight until about 6 today so I am glad that I saw the article about one of the characters today! I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend and that your week is wonderful too! And remember to sign up for the giveaway!!!
