ON THE ROAD WITH AUSTIN & SANTINO: LIFETIME’S LATEST GENIUS CREATION

ON THE ROAD WITH AUSTIN & SANTINO: LIFETIME’S LATEST GENIUS CREATION
July 26, 2010 by Shynea
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

BELLE BABY CARRIERS LETS YOU CARRY YOUR BABY IN STYLE & COMFORT
July 25, 2010 by Shynea
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. PROBLEM #06. FINDING A BA...

HELP ME PICK OUT BIRTH ANNOUCEMENTS & PHOTO SHOOT PROPS

HELP ME PICK OUT BIRTH ANNOUCEMENTS & PHOTO SHOOT PROPS
July 24, 2010 by Shynea
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. They...

STANDING ON MY SOAPBOX: JUST BECAUSE I DON’T GO TO CHURCH DOESN’T MEAN I’M NOT A GOOD CHRISTIAN

STANDING ON MY SOAPBOX: JUST BECAUSE I DON’T GO TO CHURCH DOESN’T MEAN I’M NOT A GOOD CHRISTIAN
July 22, 2010 by Shynea
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

WEEK THREE OF THE BIBLE IN 90 DAYS CHALLENGE
July 19, 2010 by Shynea
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

THE BIRTH OF BABY GIRL – 3 HOURS OF LABOR & A BEAUTIFUL BABY
July 18, 2010 by Shynea
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’M TAKING A SABBATICAL THIS SUMMER, BUT I WON’T BE GONE
July 11, 2010 by Shynea
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

BABY GIRL HAS FINALLY MADE HER DEBUT & I’M IN LOVE
July 9, 2010 by Shynea
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....

CHICK-FIL-A COW APPRECIATION DAY JULY 9TH
July 5, 2010 by Shynea
It looks like Chick-Fil-A is going to make this special a yearly treat. I'm all for free food. Especially when the kids can participate and have fun in the process. On July 9th, Chick-Fil-A is celebrating Cow Appreciation Day by giving away a free Chick-Fil-A meal to anyone who dresses up. As long as your children dress up like a cow, they will enjoy a free meal on Chick-Fil-A. As always, make sure that you call your local Chick-Fil-A to see if they are participating....

WEEK ONE OF THE BIBLE IN 90 DAYS CHALLENGE
July 5, 2010 by Shynea
I recently wrote about me taking part in the Bible in 90 Days challenge, and I'm excited that it started today. Since I am officially on maternity leave, this gives me the perfect time to get started on reading my entire Bible. I know that quite a few of you showed interest in participating in this challenge with me as well, so I am going to post this weeks Bible readings because a few of you have expressed concern with not being able to download the reading checklist. WEEK ONE MONDAY: Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 16:16 TUESDAY: Genesis 17...
