Shuttery Fly Make My Book…Y’all are Gonna LOVE This!

 

 

All of you know that in my downtime I love to take photos.  Photography truly is one of my passions in life.  I have never regretted investing in a nice camera…because to me…all those pictures are priceless.

Seriously, I’m going to be buried with my camera.

I love all the memories and I often make photo books out of some of my favorite pictures.  Usually it’s very time consuming and takes FOREVER to go through and design what I want.  UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Shutterfly Make My Book does all the work for you.  A Shutterfly designer will make your photo book for you and even curate your photos.  The Make My Book Service saves time & I actually enjoyed the surprise if seeing how my book turned out in the mail 🙂

The Make My Book service can be requested from your computer, tablet, or phone. You need a Shutterfly account to use the service, because the designer will place the finished book in your Shutterfly account.

Photo books are a great way to help you relive, cherish and preserve your memories. Shutterfly’s one-of-a-kind, high-quality custom photo books make wonderful gifts, but they’re also a great way to keep your favorite memories.

You pay a small design fee only if you order the book. My book was extremely inexpensive!  If you decide not to order the book, you don’t have to pay anything.

There are several different sizes and themes to choose from:

Make My Book Service is great for upcoming graduates, weddings, trips, or any life event.  My son is student of the week next week and he’s taking his to school next week to share with his class.  That makes my job easy!

This was one of the easiest things I’ve ever done, it took less than 10 minutes, and I’m THRILLED with our book!  Take a look at our Photo Book below.

Speaking of photos…look who’s about to turn SEVEN this Saturday! My sweet baby boo…I cannot believe how fast the time flies. I love you Connor B to the moon and back!

LazyDog Grand Opening

A few weeks ago I got to attend a grand opening lunch right here in my hometown (Grapevine, Euless, Colleyville, TX)  at Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar.  Verdict:  I will definitely be going BACK!  I loved the atmosphere and the cozy cabin style feel.  Also, I neeeeeed that huge deer on the fireplace back there.

Lazy Dog is a dog-friendly restaurant with a HUGE patio so you can bring your fur babies. We have been looking for Connor a dog for his birthday coming up and as soon as we get one I’m sure we’ll be taking it to Lazy Dog to eat this summer.  The staff and Chef were all amazing people and just because of their kindness- I want to go back to see their sweet faces!

We lunched on some yummy foods including:

Beverages:

Whisky Berry Bang

A variety of beer (Hop Head Sampler)

Lunch:

The Dirty Dog

Hatch Chili & Bacon Mac N’ Cheese (My personal favorite!)

Turkey Meatballs

Hawaiian Sticky Ribs

BBQ Bison Meatloaf

Bone-in Pork Schnitzel

Dessert:

Butter Cake (LOVED THIS!)

Simms Family S’more

I like a lighter brew, so I chose #3 obviously…but it was nice to sample all three and get a feel for what I like for next time 🙂

The Dirty Dog

My favorite – Hatch Chili & Bacon Mac N’ Cheese.

The sauce on these fries y’all…I could have eaten a boat load of them.  I think it was called “umami sauce” sooooo good!

This was divine (Anything with “s’mores” in it I usually can’t deny).

The BUTTAH cake!!!! OMG….the.best.ever.  Light, fluffy, buttery goodness!

To cap it all off from our food comas a delicious iced mocha.  I know my coffee and this was super DELISH!

Thank you so much Lazy Dog Restaurants and Bar for hosting us and I’ll definitely be back to see you soon- aka when I can get a babysitter because I want to go with my hubby!    ALONE.

This is my life every day after school…“Mom I’m so hungry!!!”  If this is YOU then honey let me tell you about these new delicious snacks from Entenmann’sÂŽ Little BitesÂŽ.  We got three different kinds to try and of course being my child Connor favors the chocolate and chocolate chip.

Not only are these Little Bites delicious but they also contain no high fructose corn syrup, no trans fat, and REAL chocolate cocoa!

The little packages are perfect for snack time or an after school pick me up.  Now days it’s so hard to send things to school because everything is monitored.  I know at Connor’s school you can’t bring anything that isn’t pre-packaged with the ingredients on each item to hand out to students.  His birthday is next month and I think the Chocolate & Vanilla Party Cakes will make a great classroom treat!

Perfect little bite sized cakes.  And they have sprinkles!!!

As you can see they are Connor approved!

His school is also collecting the wrappers after the kids are done and they are worth money for his school.  You can find more out about that program HERE.  We’ve back to the store and have got at least 10 more boxes – I really hope they keep this on the market!
