Call me Mrs. bargain shopper!

If you know anything about me you know I have a really hard time passing up a good bargain, in fact when shopping I will gladly go look at the clearance first to see if there is anything real good for a way better price!
 Case in point...

            Presley has such a hard time keeping socks on her feet, the second that she notices them on her feet it is her ultimate goal to get them off as quickly as possible. So I thought that she needed some shoes, I went looking at Target and found some way cute ones but for 15.00 I thought they werent that cute [they grow out of them too fast for me to justify this price, some may say silly... I say whatever!] So off I went to payless and they were having the BOGO sale going on, right up my alley for sure! I found 2 really cute pair and thought to get one in her size now and one a size up for later. They were both on sale for 9.99 each and the second pair was 50% off, awesome right? well they didnt have one pair in her size so I had them call another location and they had them, they put them on hold for me and I went and exchanged the bigger pair for the correct size and since I had to go to another store for the right size they gave me 3 dollars back for the hassle. So I was able to get 2 pair of shoes for 11.00! I was a very happy girl last night! I sure do love a bargain.



baby girl shoes are too cute!!!



New Years Eve

Usually New years eve at our house we have friends and family over to play games, chat, eat food, and enjoy one anothers company. This year was no different. The only difference this year was the fact that it was very quiet. Usually there is alcohol involved. But this year we made punch [not spiked either] I guess this means that we are growing up, which is not a bad thing whatsoever. We had our good friends Derek and Randi and their little boy over. Jeremy's brother and his girlfriend and their 4 kids and Jeremy's parents. We played wii and enjoyed the company.
 

     I have never been one to make a new years resolution so I think that I will stick with tradition and make no such thing this year. I  believe in living life day to day and taking nothing or no one for granted. I will do my best to remain a good wife, mother, friend and boss. So here is to a wonderful and happy New Year to 2011. May it bring everything that you are looking for!

Christmas Day

So obviously I have gotten alittle behind with the holidays and all so I will try and blog a few things. Christmas Day in our house was a great one this year! We were able to sleep in, came downstairs and had a great breakfast [cooked by Jeremy I must say] And we actually had to wake Presley up, this is something I know wont last forever but it sure was great! I had to get a picture of her in her stocking cap that Grandma bought her, she looks like a doll to me

Presley had a great time opening her presents. It was of course all about tearing the bows or paper off just so she could see what it tasted like. Babies are so fun at this age.

We didnt have to leave the house until 1 o'clock, thats when the traveling began. We had to go to jeremy's Uncle's house to see his grandparents and the like, then it was off to his parents house for a bit, then to my moms house for awhile and last but not least my grandparents house. It sure is hard being the young ones as you feel like you have to try and see everyone but there is just not enough time in the day to see all of our family. We are able to see a good amount and those we dont see on Christmas day we make sure we spend time with them on Christmas Eve. Presley got spoiled which was not a suprise. I really enjoyed the day. And look forward to many more memorable Christmas's with my wonderful family. I hope that everyone enjoyed their Christmas and took a moment to reflect and feel the spirit of the holiday season. I know that I did!

Christmas Night

Oh and on a wonderful side note i have to say that awhile back I was not sure that there was ever going to be a night that we actually got Presley to sleep in her crib or that we would ever get a full night rest. The best present given to me this christmas was actually from Presley! she slept all night long in her crib. It was a Christmas miracle!
