Uppercase Living

I AM SO EXCITED!!!! Uppercase Living just came out with some new products for this year and I got my shipment today!!! There is a ton a cool stuff in the new catalog and I am stoked about it. The new product that I love is this one. All the stuff that you see in the picture comes in the kit, from the easel to the paint brush (sponge). Even though mine is a little off center and the hand prints are a little smudged....I love it!!! It was hard to do with a 2 year old and the part she liked was when I put the paint on her hands. But the finished product is PRICELESS. Uppercase Living is offering a special on this kit. When you spend $50 on an order you have the option to buy the kit for $25. This is an awesome deal because regular price is $50!! You can visit my website and look at the catalog.

Avery's Nail Salon

Yeah...you are probably thinking ***what the heck is she doing*** Avery is such a girlie girl and she loves when I paint her toe nails. So, since we are potty training that is one of the incentives when she uses the potty. Well after I finished her finger and toe nails she wanted to do mine. I picked the lightest color that I could and I gave her the brush. As you can see I still had control of the bottle. She got so into it!!! I am telling you this melted my heart and I am amazed at how much she has grown. I thank God everyday for giving me the opportunity to be a mother. This is one of the best gifts that He has given. Sometimes we take it for granted but then He always has a way of refocusing us. She was so proud and she wanted to do again and paint her Daddy's nails! Haha!! Chad did not think that it was so funny!

I Swear I Am Still Alive...

Sorry about not adding any new posts lately. I have been super busy, as I am sure you can relate. First of all I can't believe that we are already into February!!! Time is going by way too fast!! UGHHHH! I just want to warn you ahead of time....February is a going to be a busy month for me. So don't be surprised if I am unable to post a lot. I will try my hardest though. Soooo....Oh yeah....I have a member in my family that has never been garage selling! So last weekend I took her around and gave her some tricks of the trade!! She loved it and we had a great time and found some great deals!! She is trying to decorate her new home and I told her that you can do it and save lots of money at the same time. I told her to keep an open mind and everything can be painted :)!
A couple of weeks ago I went to a Goodwill with my mom and here are some of my finds...
1) Flowers that I will use in Avery's new room. They went from a periwinkle color to cream!! I can't wait to use them.
2) NOTE: I DID NOT GET THESE AT GOODWILL. These are something that I paid full price for at Holland Boone. I wanted them and I never thought that I would ever find something like this at a garage sale or goodwill. They cost me $60.00 and that was with a coupon!!! WELLL...
3)These are goodwill finds!!! Notice the glass jars with the silver tops...YEAH I KNOW!! I about fell to the floor when I saw these!! And get this...the big one was $3.99 and the smaller one was $2.99-OMG!!! The other things were a towel rack for our toy hauler. I needed something to hold my hand towels in the bathroom. The other things are a ceramic strainer...I didn't know they made them ceramic. The glass bowl I am going to use for fresh flower arrangements.
4) Okay, I seriously need to stop buying stuff full price...I bought my daughter a cute table and chairs set that matches her play kitchen during Christmas and I paid $50 for it!!! Low and behold at goodwill this set was $7.99!!!! Yeah, tell me about it!! Let me tell you how DIRTY this set was though. I looked past the dirt and knew that a yellow/green sponge, some soft scrub with bleach, and some elbow grease would do the trick!! I took it home and cleaned it that night...it looks brand new!!! You are probably thinking-what the heck is she going to do with another set?! Well I figured that I would use it when we go camping so that Avery and her friends would have a perfect little persons table!! For the price I paid- who cares!!!
