Well IKEA sure was fun yesterday but after being there for four hours with four plus children, it was definitely time to go! I managed to get a super cute lamp and some pillows for my couch at Marshalls as well this weekend. The cloffice and playroom are so close to being done, hopefully in the next few days. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

I'm a winner, you can be one too!

I linked up at beneath my heart the other day with my kitchen organizing tips and I won something just from linking up! Check it out here.
This is just what I needed this week! I love blogging and organizing but sometimes you wonder if maybe it's time to just shut down the blog because there are 45000 other blogs out there that have more followers, cooler stuff, awesome photos, etc. Then I realized the other day when 4 people all mentioned my blog post on organizing as something that inspired them to get more organized, I realized it's worth it. I don't blog to show off what I've done but to inspire others that they can do this stuff too! Spray painting furniture, re-purposing items in your home, cooking, meal planning, finding good deals, decorating, all those things can be done by anyone! I hope if nothing else, you find the confidence and inspiration here, to know that you can do these things, it doesn't take a special talent!
And thank you, for finding my blog worthy of your reading time and for giving me the confidence I needed to keep on blogging! I love hearing from you, so leave me a comment, send me an e-mail with your projects, photos, ideas or whatever, I'd love it!!!

Also, when I reach 20 followers, I will have a $20 Target gift card giveaway so stay tuned for that post!!!

Shutterfly cards for Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And that means it's time to find your perfect picture or pictures and make your annual Christmas card. I love using shutterfly for Christmas cards, calendars and even picture books.  We make a picture book every summer of our adventures and my kids love to look at them.  We have also made baby J's birth announcements and they turned out so adorably cute!  I can't wait to get started on our Christmas cards!
Check out some of these cute cards and these were only on the first page!  I love the monogrammed cards, the different colored cards like pale blue, green and black.  They have quite the selection, I"m not sure how I'm ever going to choose just one style!

They also have some really cute ideas for those hard to buy for people on your list.  Check out the photo mugs, mouse pads or maybe even some playing cards.

A favorite gift of ours to give is the personalized calendars.  Right now they are buy one get one 50% off so if you need one for you and one for the grandparents or maybe both sets of grandparents, head on over to Shutterfly and create one or five!!!   Look at this cute calendar.....I can't wait to get started on mine!
