Great Deals at Hip 2 Save

Working from home has been great for snagging shopping deals! I love the Today Show and especially the segment Steals and Deals! Via that segment and a co-worker I have since found www.hip2save.com which posts multiple deals through out the day, including:

Free $13 item w/$10 purchase from Bath and Body Works

2 photo calendars, 100 holiday postcards & 140 address labels $10.07 shipped

Hallmark $5 off $10 purchase

and much, much more! From one friend to another...ENJOY the deals!

Stationery Card

You just gotta love FREE stuff!!! Shutterfly sent me a code for 12 FREE 4x5 cards (well, I had to pay $5.99 for shipping but that is WAY better then the $20 it would have cost for these)! And to top it off I get another $10 off my next purchase for posting this:

I LOVE Shutterfly!!!!

Chirstmas in Coming...

Yes, it is hard to believe but it is time to start thinking Christmas!!! Well, at least it is if you are planning on sending custom cards or gifts... (***Disclaimer, I've been a Shutterfly user since Abby was born and LOVE their products (and now I love them a bit more--Fellow bloggers be sure to check out the entire post ;P ) ***)

I have to say that I LOVED our Christmas card last year!! After hours of searching on the web for a card we LOVED, we wound up back at Shutterfly and the Dotted Collage Holiday Card (I'm one of those shoppers--I search and search and search just to wind up back at the first place I looked!!). Not only did Shutterfly have the cutest cards, I felt comfortable ordering from them because I knew from using their services for prints and photo books that they would be of high quality and get here in time for us to mail them (Yeah, we were a little behind and had to rush them...oooops!!). It looked like this:


One of the best parts about this card is that it could also double as Abby's announcements (since we did not get those out before Christmas....Double Ooops!). We added three photos of Abby (birth, Halloween and Thanksgiving) so our friends and family could see our little one in action.





These cards were just PERFECT and now I'm addicted to Shutterfly cards and have created cards for St. Patrick's Day, Mother's Day (well, MJ did anyway), Father's Day, Halloween and yes for Christmas again this year! There is just one problem, there are over 740 different Christmas cards to choose from this year--how am I ever going to decide?? Maybe it will be one of their Support a Cause cards, the Oh-so-cute Cool Peppermint Dots folded card, or the adorable Spot the Snowflakes flat card...OH THE DECISIONS!!!!!

On another note, I think I might just have to have a holiday party of some sort just so I can send out this invitation...sooooo cute!

Looking for a personalized gift or two this holiday season? Shutterfly has lots of those too! I LOVE this desk calendar (LOTS of very cute backgrounds and layouts to choose from...I will be sure to make myself one if/when I go back to work), maybe a wall calendar of all the grand kids for Grandma and Grandpa, a photo mug for that special someone, oh the list goes on and on!

Needless to say, Shutterfly has numerous products that I LOVE!!!

Let the Countdown Begin!

I can't believe that it is August already and that in just 17 days our little Abigail will be ONE!! It is still hard to wrap my head around the life of parenthood and the joy that a little brings!

Abby is fine tuning her "almost-walking" skills each day. She loves to walk holding on to something--fingers, a pant leg, a walking toy, the wall--and winds up standing without realizing it while playing with toys. I think all she needs to do is want to and she will be off!!

I love resale items and Abby does too. She was pushing this around the yard today:

Uncle Mark, Aunt Stacey and the girls (Julia and Gracie) came for a visit today. Actually, Mark helped us with a little party prep--he and Michael worked out in the yard today. Thanks Uncle Mark!

Play time with Abby

(Thanks to the Ratliff Family for the hand-me-downs--Everyone LOVES the walking toy!)

Kisses for my cousin!


Hey there little niece!




Hanging with Uncle Mark

Today was a good day and a great start to a WONDERFUL month!

$10 off at Diapers.com

Hey there! If you are in the market for diapers/baby stuff check out Diapers.com. I just placed my first order (thanks Kristi, you will see your credit soon) and found some good deals! Plus, how great is it that they come right to you instead of having to drive to the store to get it.

If you are interested in saving $10 on your first order at Diapers.com just enter this referral code at check out: KELI6544

What's the catch? You have to spend more that $49 and it has to include diapers, but hey if you need them you might as well save some dough! But the bonus is that you get free shipping on order over $49 anyway (2 day shipping!!). You can also use the code: PLUS10PCT to get 10% off most of your order (not on diapers and some other stuff, but worth a try) if you are a first time user. Just thought I'd pass on the deal. Hope enjoy it!
