Two Questions Tuesday

Well, I have never posted on this meme, but it sounds very interesting!! My good friend over at Living So Abundantly shared this with me, so I am excited to try it out! Here I go!


1.) What is your favorite card game?


2.) What would you say is the best advice you ever got on parenting (a child or a dog)?



I suppose I get to answer my own questions??? Well....

1.) Eukere - I have found most people who grew up any place other than Ohio/Michigan area have never heard nor played this game, but I LOVE IT!

2.) Best advice I every got on parenting? I am a fairly new parent....so haven't had a chance to test to much advice...but on dogs? My best advice came from the Dog Whisper and that was to learn to be a pack leader !

The letter M - Memorial Day!

I was trying to find some photos to use for the letter "m" and came across our Memorial Day photos!! We try to visit our Grandfather's grave, as he served his country proudly for 30 years in the United States Army. Very fitting to visit him on Memorial Day. Here are some photos!!!

Grandma, Daddy and Savannah

"Oh mommy! That Florida sun is bright"

Savannah....I love her face!!!!

This photo is for the Love Your Shot! Link-up on I Heart Faces! This picture was taken on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico. She had a so much fun, and loved the wind blowing in her lovely face :0) There is nothing special about the camera I used (as I am sure you can tell by the quality) just my trusty old Sony Snapshot!!

The latest in digital scrapbooking

I have no spare time on my hands. I am sure many of you feel the same way! Between house work, the kids, husbands, pets etc. women today have many demands placed on them. That being said, I still like to scrapbook, but have NO TIME to do it! A friend of mine suggested digital scrapbooking. I looked on some websites like Walmart.com, Snapfish, Shutterfly and while they offer digital scrapbooking, it is VERY basic and simple. Kinda reminded me of some of my first scrapbook pages I made. I couldn't go back to that, I had come way to far. Well, then I learned about Stampin Up's new Digital Scrapbooking software. I must state I am not a demonstrator (I use to be) and I am not getting any sort of kick backs for writing this (I wish). Their software offers just about everything from their catalog, and you can download updates. You can let them create your scrapbook, you can add your photos to their templates, or you can design your own pages from scratch. I have found that I can make time to be on my laptop while watching the news at night or in the car on a long drive. So basically, I have been digitally scrapbooking one to two pages a night with my new software while sitting on the couch. No clean-up, no mess, no fuss just a lot of photo fun. Like I told a friend of mine, you could literally sit on the beach with your thumb drive and laptop and scrapbook. In my opinion, life couldn't get any better!! So check out some of my pages, and click here to go my friends Demonstrator Website (you get a preferred price if ordering through a demonstrator) and click on the online catalog to see the software first-hand.

They offer printing services, $2.50 for one 12X12 page, or they will make a book for you price varies based on length and options you choose. You can also e-mail your pages to friends and family, make a DVD or CD containing your scrapbooks and make them interactive by adding music and video. The ideas are endless for this software. The thing I like most, is I can update my software with their latest ribbon, brads and paper of my choosing. It isn't just one giant download and half the stuff I don't like. So check out my links for yourself and let me know what you think!!!

This link shows a video of the software.

This link is good if you just purchased the software and want an easier tutorial.

Goals

My good friend will like this post. My mother would also be proud. I am not a list person, and often feel like making a list of goals, is just making a list of things that may not get done!! I always feel pressure with making a list of goals, but have decided to make one! This past week/weekend has been a hard one for me, and I feel that I didn't get to much accomplished. So perhaps this list will make me feel more accomplished as I get to cross things off!!!

So these are pretty basic....pretty simple....and if you want to come over to help let me know :0)

1. finish putting the babies room together
2. finish the laundry (can this one truly ever be crossed off??)
3. clean the kitchen
4. mop the floors
5. get rid of the under the house cat once and for all! (free to a good home!)
6. make some dairy free freezer meals for after baby comes
7. organize my craft table
8. get together some Christmas gifts, wrapped and ready to hand out
9. clean out the fridge
10. convince my lovely husband to clean the bathroom (yes, he shockingly doesn't volunteer for jobs...of any sort)
