A MOTHER’S INTERVENTION: MY GUEST POST ON LIFETIME MOMS
I was very honored when I was asked to write a guest post for Lifetime Moms. I am a huge fan of the Lifetime television network, stemming from my mother's constant Lifetime movie marathon weekends when I was growing up. I was given the chance to review an advance copy of an upcoming episode of A&E's hit television series Intervention. (Intervention, to me, is a combination of a reality show and documentary.) Below you'll find a snippet of my review and link that will take you directly to the Lifetime Moms website to read the rest.

$2 CAMIS AT OLD NAVY WITH PRINTABLE COUPON
I know I said I was taking a sabbatical, but I couldn't help myself. I had to post this deal at Old Navy because I am going to go to my local store and try to take advantage of this deal.
With coupon, you can get camis at Old Navy for just $2.00.
This is a really good deal because you can layer these camis together, wear them with a pair of jeans and flip flops, pair it with a flowing summer skirt, or wear it under a dress for a pop of color.
Thank you to Deal Seeking Mom for this fashion deal....

ON THE ROAD WITH AUSTIN & SANTINO: LIFETIME’S LATEST GENIUS CREATION
I am a reality television junkie. To make a reality tv show successful and addicting in my eyes you have to have a cast of colorful and quirky personalities combined with an original concept. With that being said, it takes a lot for me to become addicted to a reality tv show, especially a new one, because I am always so critical and will usually write a show off within the first episode.
Imagine my excitement when I found out that Lifetime has a new show appearing this Thursday, July 29th with two of my all time favorite Project Runway stars A...

BELLE BABY CARRIERS LETS YOU CARRY YOUR BABY IN STYLE & COMFORT
As part of my Baby Shower Extravaganza, I have decided to showcase products that I have discovered that will make being a mommy just a little bit easier. I've presented my top five problems as my youngest children having too much free range in the house, helping to prevent diaper rash, keeping the nurses informed at the hospital that I’m breastfeeding, my willingness to learn how to cloth diaper, and keeping my baby warm without using a blanket. The next problem that I want to tackle has to do with baby wearing.

HELP ME PICK OUT BIRTH ANNOUCEMENTS & PHOTO SHOOT PROPS
I have never bought birth announcements for any of my children, but I'm thinking that with Baby Girl I should. (I don't know what it is about this little girl but she already has me wrapped around her little finger.) I'm really excited to pick out her photo announcements because that means that she will have to have a photo shoot soon. I have decided to go with the company Tiny Prints to order her birth announcements because:
I have heard nothing but GOOD things about them, their customer service, and the quality of their products.

STANDING ON MY SOAPBOX: JUST BECAUSE I DON’T GO TO CHURCH DOESN’T MEAN I’M NOT A GOOD CHRISTIAN
When I do these "Standing on my Soapbox" posts I don't mean to ruffle any feathers. Especially when it comes to religion because I know that everyone will have their own beliefs. However, I have been told on more than one occasion that to be a "true" Christian you have to attend an actual, physical church. (These comments were made in reference to me when I said that I have had a bad experience with organized religion and that I don't know if I will ever attend another church service again.)
I beg to differ that I can't be a good Christian...

WEEK THREE OF THE BIBLE IN 90 DAYS CHALLENGE
I'm still participating in the Bible in 90 Days challenge. I am officially a week behind, but I plan on doubling up on my reading this week to catch up to where I need to be. I am so proud of myself for taking on this challenge, and I know that I will only grow spiritually as I get further and further into my Bible. I have already seen a change in me because I am getting a daily, quiet devotional time with God that I have never had before. I am reflecting on the words that I am reading and it's causing me to direct a lot of my problems, fears, ...

THE BIRTH OF BABY GIRL – 3 HOURS OF LABOR & A BEAUTIFUL BABY
I don't know what has taken me so long to write this post. It has been eleven days since I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl and I have been so absorbed with enjoying her that everything has taken a backseat. (If you stopped by right now to visit my house, I would be thoroughly embarrassed. Sort of. Then I would show you Baby Girl and you wouldn't even notice the sty I call my home.) This labor has by far been the fastest labor that I have had.
My labor began right around 11:00pm.
I had started feeling contractions about an hour before t...

I’M TAKING A SABBATICAL THIS SUMMER, BUT I WON’T BE GONE
I have decided that I'm going to take a break this summer from posting about deals, coupons, sales, etc... and just enjoy this time with my family and my daughter. (It still feels SO weird saying that.) I will still be updating this website with posts, but I have decided that I'm going to focus on things that are a lot closer to home; posts that at this time in my life I feel really passionate about.
I'll be updating more about my family. Which means more stories about my children, more personal pictures, and if I can ever get the progr...

BABY GIRL HAS FINALLY MADE HER DEBUT & I’M IN LOVE
I am excited to announce that Baby Girl has finally made her debut. She was born on July 7th at 2:54am. She weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. and was 20 1/4 inches long. I'm SO in love with her. When we left the hospital they were still undecided on the color of her eyes. So far they have waivered between grey and a light brownish/green color and back to grey.
This was Baby Girl a few hours after she was born.
This is Baby Girl now.
I'll update a little later on this weekend with her birth story. For now, I am going to relax and enjoy her....
