Our Day in the Parade

Connor and I were invited to be in a parade today!  We got to ride on the Hanna Andersson truck and wave to everyone.  We also got to wear pretty Hanna Andersson clothes….oh my gosh how I love this store!  Everything in it is SO cute!

As you can see it was SUPER windy today!
Connor got a new coat from Hanna Andersson and it came in very useful today 🙂
Brrrrr……

Here is our sign
If you live in the DFW area Hanna Andersson is opening a brand new store next Friday, Nov. 18th at Stonebriar Centre Mall.  I’m helping host the grand opening event on Thursday and I’m so excited!  There will be lots of door prizes, goody bags, and coupons!
Fun in the hay!
We had a great day and thank you for having us Hanna Andersson 🙂
I liked this little dude 🙂

Phone Photo Dump

A lot of times I don’t want to carry my big honking camera around….so that leaves me with my two year old piece of crud phone.  I definitely can’t wait to get a new phone with a better camera!

Anyway…here are a few photos from the last few weeks of our lives 🙂

Red cup time at Starbucks!
“Cheers Everyone!”
(No coffee was actually consumed in these photos)

I got some more goodies in the mail from Erin Condren….

A Halloween trip to Starbucks :

Halloween cakeballs I made for work :

A trip to Five Guys Burgers & Fries for a cheat meal :

I found the perfect shade of gray nail polish I’ve been searching for!  Only $1.97 at Target 🙂
My nail polish painting skills aren’t the best….

We are still on the mend ya’ll!
Connor got sick again last night….Lord help me if I have to clean up any more barf I.will.die.
Ugh
Thanks for the prayers….and if you are looking for Bonnie’s blog it’s HERE now

I Should be in Vegas…

But I’m not.  Yesterday we all started feeling yucky and coming down with flu like symptoms.  Today we are feeling a bit better….but still have churning stomachs. 

I should be there with my sister.

I should be helping her clean and move.

Instead she’s alone. Again.

I hope and pray God takes care of her….and I wish I was there 🙁

Please keep us all in your prayers.  Pray that Bonnie will find some sort of reason for all this happening…that God will protect her and Jarrett and guide their path.  Pray that we all start feeling better and we can see each other soon.  I love you sidder.  xoxo Becky

I don’t know why things happen when they do…but I know God has a reason for everything.

$50 Visa Gift Card Giveaway & Bounce Dryer Bar Review!

I’m a busy Mom and I work a full time job.  Sometimes it doesn’t seem like there are enough hours in the day to get everything done around the house.  In our home I’m the person in charge of the laundry….my husband claims he doesn’t do it right.  Uh huh…sure!!!

I’m always looking for ways to save time and money.  Recently I was asked to try a Bounce Dryer Bar.  I’ll be honest, I was a bit skeptical.  I’ve always used dryer sheets and wasn’t so sure I wanted to change. In a few easy steps I applied the Bounce Dryer Bar inside my dryer and voila!

I still get the freshness, softness, and static control I want from a dryer sheet in the convenience of a Bounce Dryer bar.  It provides three months of freshness and static control.  You just stick it in and forget it!  I love this because sometimes I forget to pull a dryer sheet when I’m in a hurry and don’t realize until I pull the laundry out.  Now I don’t even have to think about it because it’s already inside the dryer.

The Bounce Dryer Bar is also saving me money because over three months I would have spent a lot more on dryer sheets.  The Bounce Dryer Bar is perfect for our family because it saves me time, money, and I still have fresh smelling laundry.

Let’s face it, laundry is a chore.  Nobody likes it, but it’s something that HAS to get done.  So why not save yourself a little time and money with the Bounce Dryer Bar?  I promise it works just as well as those sheets and it will save you a step in your laundry routine.  The less to remember the better in my book!  So bring on the laundry……I’ve got it covered!

For more information about the Bounce Dryer Bar and to see some cool videos, visit the Bounce Facebook page.

You can win a free Bounce Dryer Bar and a $50 Visa Gift Card from BlogHer and Bounce.
