Holiday Themed Eyewear

Leave a comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

In our home we tend to go through A LOT of eyewear.  Zack alone went through 3 pairs of glasses this year.  After the first pair broke, I took to the internet to order more because remember, I like to save money and really eyeglasses tend to get EXPENSIVE!!

Now that he is in need of his 4th pair this year, I have considered grabbing him some festive frames for the holiday season from Zenni Optical but then I thought maybe I should get a pair for myself!  I like to be festive!!  

Not only are these cheap eyeglasses but they are super cute too!

Not only can I pick up these frames for myself at a great price but I can outfit the other visually handicapped individuals in my home as well and save some cash to put towards a few extra gifts under our tree this holiday season.  

If you are in the market for a new look and want to save some cash, check out Zenni Optical eyeglasses.  They carry a large selection for everyone in the family and do so at a very reasonable cost!

Let me know if you find your favorite frames by leaving me a comment below, I would love to see your top choice!!

Back to the Basics

Leave a comment

I just realized that within a matter of weeks, we will be back to the basics around our house.
You know, the baby basics.
Back to changing diapers, cleaning up spit up, and I will be nursing 2012 in more ways than one!
I get to start breast feeding for the next year of my life once again, losing sleep, forgetting to eat, do my hair, put on underwear or makeup.
These are the baby basics.
I will admit, I am looking forward to doing it all over once again but am very, VERY thankful this will be the last time I will be doing it.
So, bring on the diapers, spit up, umpteen loads of dirty poop soaked clothing…..I am up for the challenge one last time.
I can’t wait to snuggle and take in that netter than life new baby smell.
Oh, and the pink and oh so cute girly things I cannot wait to put Ellie in!
I think the hubby is going to take away my credit cards and cut off all my access to Etsy and Pinterest because I have a serious addiction to finding adorable things I want to dress Ellie in!
And seriously, where the hell were these sites when I had my 3 other children?
I would have done some damage!

Holiday Savings from Build-A-Bear

Leave a comment

As the holidays approach the excitement within our home continues to build.  Everyone is looking forward to Christmas, exchanging gifts, and preparing for little Baby Ellie to arrive.  When we were waiting for Alexander to arrive in 2008, Alex, Zack, Libby and I thought it would be a great idea to head to our local Build-A-Bear and create something special to give Alexander when he was born.  Not only did we personally create Dino for Alexander, but he also has a piece of each of us inside of him as we all put a heart in him with a kiss!
This is Alexander with his beloved Dino. My little man takes Dino everywhere and will NOT go to bed without him!!

We are currently planning a trip to Build-A-Bear for next weekend to bring a new friend to life to present to Ellie when she is born.

The great thing is that now  through December 18th you can purchase any animal PLUS any outfit for just $24.99.  Needless to say, this is definitely an offer we will be taking advantage of because I like to stretch my hard earned Bear Bucks as far as I can!

In addition to this great savings promotion, thanks to our friends at Build-A-Bear Workshop, your family has a direct line to Santa and his little helpers!  By visiting http://play.buildabear.com/, your child can create their own wish list with one of Santa’s elves and tell them what they want for Christmas!  *Parental agreement is needed for all children under 13.

So, what are you waiting for?  Get over to your local Build-A-Bear and start saving today!  Plus don’t forget to watch for Baby Ellie updates and pictures after she arrives and is presented with her first friend from Build-A-Bear and our family!

Disclosure: I was entered for a chance to win a Build-A-Bear Workshop gift card in exchange for this post.  No monetary exchange took place. All opinions are my own

SpongeBob’s Surf & Skate Roadtrip

Leave a comment

Last Friday night, after the Alex departed to work for his mandatory overtime shift, I broke out the newest video game in our XBOX360 Kinect collection, SpongeBob’s Surf & Skate Roadtrip.

Let’s just say, the kids had a blast!
Even Zack was surfing and skating and he’s on crutches!!

The little Alexander had a hard time trying to navigate things but still had lots of fun trying!

If you’re looking for a new game to add to your family’s collection, we highly recommend SpongeBob’s Surf & Skate Roadtrip for the XBOX360 Kinect.

Check out the preview of the game below.
