How many of you shop at Amazon? I do!!! I love it too. As you see, I'm making some updates to my blog to include things that I enjoy. Besides pictures of the kids, music, there are google ads and now Amazon. I'm hoping I can remember to include to the right, the items I've bought from Amazon as well as a critique about them. Maybe you'll find these useful, maybe you won't even pay attention. If you see it beneficial, will you let me know? Feel free to click on any of the items I review to see more information from Amazon. Tell me, and other readers, what you buy from Amazon and what your experience has been.
So continue to watch that side bar for the latest items I've bought.

Shop It To Me
OK so here's the deal. I got sent an 'invitation' to join this shopping network from Jen. I went ahead and joined and then sent invitations to others. WELL for every 10 people that signed up I get a $10 gift card. Guess what came in the mail today? A $10 gift card to Starbucks.
I'm pretty excited b/c I'm actually enjoying this shop it to me. You sign up for notices to be sent to you when items/brands/sizes/etc come on sale. For instance I marked 'Uggs', Girls 3t, Boys 4 & 5T clothing, shoes in my sizes, and on and on, in my profile. I choose to get notifications weekly and i've seen some pretty good deals come thru. The bad part is that when i clicked on the size 3T coat for $8.99 it was already gone. HOWEVER they hook lined and sank me b/c I ended up going shopping @ Old Navy/Gap and buying a hefty load of items.
Regardless, I'm in love. More of the fact that people signed up and I got a gift card, but none the less i like to shop for bargains.
I'm going to paste the html here for you to sign up. You can sign up and then unsign yourself right away if you'd like. The people that sign up via this blog, when it gets over 10 I will use that as a give away card. What a cheap skate i am. No really, I'll throw something else in too. Here it is, sign up and the next card I get, will have a drawing!!!

Picture Time
I've only been putting having professional pictures off for oh...a month now!? First it was to cold, then the miscarriage, Christmas, New Years, and well today finally was the day. C'man needed his 4 year pictures taken and I wanted a nice picture of the two of them in there Christmas outfits.
Why oh why can pictures just not go WONDERFUL! When C'man doesn't want to cooperate, Miss A does. Then vice versa. "What C'man? You don't want your Santa cookie? How about a .25 for the train outside??" All while I'm wondering WHY I did not spike my coffee with Kahlua.
Then Miss A does great, then all the sudden she walks off and that's the end of her. Period. When that girl is done, eating, playing, throwing a fit, etc she's DONE!! Speaking of fits, have I told you all that she can scream/throw things/etc for 30 min and then all the sudden look at me and say 'I'm done' and she is!! Just like that she shuts it OFF! Drives me nuts.
Anyway we got some good shots and spent $90. I HATE spending that much. I have so many pictures left over b/c I don't plan who's going to get what. I did better I think this time on that end. But yeah my mom wants one for her desk, dad wants one for his office and then they want one for the home. Now my MIL if I don't frame it, she doesn't get it up and it gets dusty and crusty. She too likes one to show off at the Post Office. So yeah, lots of pictures for everyone. I try to buy the same size every time so they can just replace the old with the new.
At any rate, pictures are done. I got 2 new pairs of shoes that I'm quite proud of. I'll post pictures of them. They are fun shoes, not to practical, but fun. All I get are slip in/practical shoes. I'm still saving my money tho for a pair of UGGS. Anyone that reads this from Australia by chance? I'll have to check my stat counter, but I'm thinking there is. Email me k!!
We're home, Miss A is sleeping, C'man is on the couch and tonight I'm going to a Christmas Party! I'm rather excited I'll have you know. I haven't been to an official Christmas party for years! It's with the steering team of the MOPS group I'm part of. Table leaders are invited, that's me:)
I know I have to wear my new shoes, oh but wait, all the outfits i was going to wear are black and both pairs of shoes are BROWN....oh what now.

Brrr
I love Iowa!! It was 6 degrees this AM when the kids and I headed to the bank! But first let me tell you about the weekend. Miss A woke up @ 230AM on Friday and threw up!! I figured that was the end of my weekend away. I cleaned her up, DH took the bedding off, and by 3 everyone was back in bed (i did NOT do laundry this time, wasn't that bad). She didn't wake up till after 7 then on Saturday. Called my parents and said well i guess they won't be coming. Miss A ate her breakfast and seemed 'normal' so i was like now what??
DH said 'go, I'll stay home with them' to which i replied 'no I'll never hear the end of it'. But i went. I was able to get a hotel room for $35! and Miss A seemed fine. I left @ 11 on Saturday and got home yesterday @ 3. It was a very nice time. I didn't even feel guilty. Once i got going the guilt went away. I think b/c they were home with DH I really wasn't worried at all. BFF and I shopped, ate, shopped, drank wine, talked, shopped, see a pattern here:) We got back to our room @ 945 with cheesecake from the 'Cheesecake Factory' and ate that and drank wine coolers and wine. We blabbered, well i did, BFF was passed out while i talked and at midnight we went to bed only to find ourselves awake. So we talked about nothing some more:) It was divine till @ 230 the kid upstairs woke me up. Gosh darn it I go away for the weekend and i STILL am awakened during the night. But it didn't last to long.
We shopped some more yesterday of which my BFF is like the queen of bargains. I can make a full round in a store and she's not even a 1/4 of the way around!! Wow!! She can spot the clearance racks from the parking lot I swear. I like to look at the clearance stuff but i rarely find things. I'm to tall, my arms are to long, my guyt is to big, you get the picture:)
So yeah, here i am at home. Kids are napping and tonight is night #2 of circuit training. I didn't find shoes this weekend but got some cute workout clothes. DH has not said anything about me going away for the weekend, accept he's wondering when his weekend away it. I say he gets to go away every day and very soon will be in the fields and i'll be lucky to see him before i go to bed!
Yes, so very cold here but as i told C'man this AM when he asked if he could go swimming? Very soon!! like FOUR months. Yeah i know depressing but really Spring is coming!
