What exactly do they sell? TONS of stuff!

From Natalie's Site:

"Need a gift for your mom, sister or close friend? I like the idea of getting loved ones something they can display in their home and remember you thought of them. I heard about Better Home Interiors from people who love the furniture they sell, but I was thrilled to find a fantastic selection of home decor as well. I just picked up the Joy Blocks for my Christmas collection, and they are so cool (and huge! photo doesn't do then justice) I had to display them early."

Head on over to Natalie's Sentiments for your chance to win!

Deadline: Thanksgiing for the USA (Thursday, November 27th!)

My Favorite Pal Giveaway at Natalie's Sentiments!

This one is quite simple really..... As Natalie put it (and my Husband would agree!):

"Okay. I've done it. I figured out the one thing that EVERYONE would like to win this Christmas. Everyone has someone on their Christmas list who would like a new tie. I have 5 people on my list who could use one. So I hit up My Favorite Pal to sponsor a giveaway because they not only have great adult ties (Shane has this one and loves it), but they make children's ties as well. How cute would it be to give a matching set to daddy and son? The sizes run from infants to tall mens.

Black Flower (I really like this one... Humm... *L*)

Black w/ Silver Stripe Father & Son

Salmon Pink Polka Dot Father & Son

Want to win either a Men's Tie or a Child's tie?"

Head on over to Natalie's Sentiments and follow her contest rules to (hopefully!) win this great offer!

Friday Flashback... Ona Monday Late Night... (Sorry!)

So... My family spent all of last week taking turns tossing their cookies with this horrible flu that's going around.

Or at least Emma and Tyler did. And he's not over it quite yet. Zoë had tummy issues for the week but is back to normal now... And I've been fine! Well... Sort of. But that's a whole other issue! *L*

This is why I'm a bit behind on this post... That and I had a 'Calendar Switch' night here Friday... Anyone have photos??!

Anyhoo... Here's the photo... Are you ready for this??!

So let me explain.... *L*

For Zoë's baby shower we decided to hold off until we actually had her (not the best plan in my books). This was taken a month or less after she had been born.

At first I had no clue what I was doing... I knew I wasn't drunk... So what the heck??! *L*

But I was kindly reminded by a friend, Heather, who had been there as well that I was doing the limbo (Luau themed)... And looked...Like... THIS.

Umm humm...

I'm hot!

*LOL*

I'd like to thank my Mom for posting this on Facebook for everyone and their dog to see! *LOL* Too funny!

Oh yes. This is me at the ripe old age of 22. Just after having my second child.

Good times!
