My first review!

After watching many movies this winter and lots of tv shows, I have decided that it might be a good idea to enhance my entertainment center. Perhaps get some surround sound, or speaker stands. Coincidentally, while looking for many of these items, I was actually contacted by someone who works at, www.csnstores.com asking me if I would like to do a review! They have everything from home decor, cookware, and fitness equipment to name a few. So I have decided to review a set of dumbbells, so stay tuned!

I hunted and hunted through the websites and finally choose some 10 lbs Cap Barbell Neoprene Dumbbell's! I want to see how they compare to my cheap Walmart ones! I can't wait to get started using these at home and work on my first review!



So make sure you check out CSN and all they have to offer!

A Wonderful Giveaway!!

Im Back....

Well, it seems I have taken a little hiatus... huh?? It's generally just because of LIFE. Over the past year I have been given some more responsibilities at church and guess what I have been busy tending to those along with baseball!!! So I organized an entire fall festival complete with a Carnival theme and over 20 booth's and two bounce houses.... Been working on our adult Christmas Musical and taking the boys to practices for theirs. We also have added a Saturday PM service to the mix...

So it has been nonstop. I have been asked to take on a couple of projects in 2010... Yes I know it's not even 2010 yet but, both of these require LOTS of planning!!! and well I'm a planner of all types :)

So I'm coming to YOU my blogging friends if you are any still around..... I need help with all you craft fair ladies!!!! I'm organizing ONE!!! Well my question for y'all is this..... Generally when you place your items at the Fair's you attend what are the fee's and what does it include? We are wanting to keep the fee's low so we can get a good group of vendor's but still make a little bit of a profit f0r some other things we want to do over summer. So if you have participated any one or any please share your experiences and what helped to make it run smoothly......

My sweet friend Jenn over at http://bittersweetfixinsnprimitives.blogspot.com/ is having the cutest and I do mean cutest snowman giveaway! Hop on over there and check him out!

Been away for awhile!

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged... Actually the second I clicked my last post... (My bathroom redo) My phone was ringing as I hit POST. It was actually my grandmother's dialysis clinic calling about her. She was being rushed to the hospital and had already been revived twice. We sat with her nonstop until May 5th when she passed away. It has been a very long a difficult struggle for me as I miss her dearly. She was one of the closest most dearest people to me...... Some days are better than others and then there are others that I just feel like crying all day. I know it is selfish of me to want her back her with me as I know exactly where she is. You see she was the women who moved into my parents home when I was five and never moved out; she was the one who took me to church from then on; she was the one who started attending the church where I met my husband; she was the one who loved me unconditionally; she was the one who adored my three boys; she was the one whom I spent hours upon hours on the phone with each and every morning; she was the one whom I never thought would actually leave me; she was my best friend. I find myself okay except for in the evenings when Im laying in bed..... I lay there praying and wondering what she is actually doing in Heaven...... where she went first once she got there...... who all way waiting for her......I just miss her so! Anyway so that is reason for my lapse in posting. Hopefully here in the next few weeks I can get back into the groove of things. I do still have to tour of my home to do!

Hope you each are blessed!

Additional Bathroom Pics

Here is a couple of additional pics that I forgot to take of the bathroom :) I haven't really decided what to hang on the towel rack. I would love to find just a small quilt type piece to hang there or towels. I haven't found any that I like yet. The tissue holder I found at the Good Will for a $1.00 painted and primed it up! I love the color it ended up being.
