A perfect day!

Life

Sometimes life can be hectic and sometimes you have days like today that everything goes well.

Our plans for this weekend were cancelled so instead of making other plans we decided to just enjoy the weekend. Today was a productive day and a fun , relaxing day. My favorite kind of day.

I love bargains! One of the kids resale shops had their dollar day and I majorly scored for both kids! Baby girl needed some winter clothes and so did Brother. A friend of mine went with me and by the time I made it over to the boy stuff it was extremely picked over and then was super excited when I walked up to my friend and she had grabbed a ton of clothes for G. I don't know how you are but finding brand new coats and clothes for a dollar makes my heart beat a little faster.

Both kids had joined us in bed around 6am so naptime was extremely easy the kids both slept long enough for J to fertilize the whole yard and I painted the dining room. Well mostly, J still needs to do all the trimming out :-)

My sweeties

They are at the age that they love playing together and it melts my heart when I sit and watch them. So happy they are mine :)

Taking a break

They need me



And so does he



So after 20 years of working, I am officially a stay at home mom.
I am looking forward to it!

The Castle

This year we have decided to take advantage of all the "free" activities we can. Lowe's have awesome workshops for kids on Saturdays. They had a series around Christmas to build a train. I have to say that has been my favorite until this past Saturday. G built a castle! How cool is that!

Daddy & G got to spend some quality time while Sissy and I hung out. It was a win for all!

Boring to bling !

I have always been a bargain shopper. This gift comes from liking nice things and being on a limited income. Even now that we have two incomes, there are certain things that I struggle with paying full price.

When I found we were having another baby and it was a girl, my first response was she needs new furniture. White furniture, but again couldn’t justify buying another set when the set we had from G was so nice.

I majorly shopped for deals for decorating her room. The one thing I did splurge on was her artwork, I came across this person when I was pregnant with G and knew if I ever had a girl I would purchase some of her pictures. www.serenabowman.com . I found her bedding & curtains off CL and my best buddy from Cali added some boutique finishes to them, but one thing was missing. Well I found it!!

Thanks to a gift card from Grandma Barba, Sylvie now has bling in her room! Along with adorable. Its super cute the whole time Daddy was hanging it she had to help and every time I get her out of bed she smiles and says Light Light. I think it was well worth the cost and of course it was on sale !

The old light.



The new light.

Santa Picture success & fail
