Find of the Week!

You can get this kit for free if you play a little hunting game here... It's a little confusing, but it's a huge kit, so keep trying!

Not much time...

to post. Adi is sick (fever, achey, throwing up), it looks like the vicious bug is making a second round at our house. But I did want to share a new place I found for freebies. Check it out- it is full of cute stuff!

Never Forget...

“Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these His little ones. Now, love them, take care of them. Fathers, control your tempers, now and in all the years to come. Mothers, control your voices; keep them down. Rear your children in love, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Take care of your little ones. Welcome them into your homes, and nurture and love them with all of your hearts. They may do, in the years that come, some things you would not want them to do, but be patient, be patient. You have not failed as long as you have tried. Never forget that.”

-President Hinckley

**Kit for scrapbook page is from Funky Playground. Alpha is from here (a freebie- and still available!).

Freebie "Shoppin"

I have a shopping problem.

Really.

Just ask my husband. He oh-so-often checks our bank account and has to ask, "What is all this paypal stuff?"

I don't go crazy or anything. $5 here, $10 there. That's why I love freebies. I get the rush of shopping, without spending money! Here's some of my spoils:

Glittered Frames here.

Cute lil' Valentines word stickers here.

V-Day kit here.

Dino kit (one girl one, one boy one) here.

Here's a colored newspaper alpha.

A fun apha here.

Mom, you're gonna love this one: all the kits on here are only $1!

**keep in mind that a lot of these have expiration dates, so if you want them, get 'em fast!

Here Comes Christmas...

Oh boy- it is prett much here, and I am not ready! I still need to wrap a bunch of gifts, get s few family presents, stocking stuffers, oh my! And I am trying to get my house in perfect shape for my parents when they come to stay on Saturday (I am no longer aiming for perfet- trying to get to just plain acceptable- wish me luck). I need some help!

P.S. You need to check out this blog. A bunch of my fav designers got together and did a 12 Days of Christmas freebie give- away! Just click on each can to get to that designer's site and download them (just a warning: most are heavy on the number of downloads).

What- Two Santas?

Yep, we went and saw the Big Guy today at Aunt Whitney's work. Adi was a little reticent, but she climbed up (the idea of toys from him got her there), but she still had a hard time telling him about the Hannah Montana doll that she wants. Porter-boy had no problems sitting on his lap (he found his beard quite interesting), but Piper refused to even go near him, even after he tried to bribe her with a candy cane. I had to drag her over to be near him and ended up having to pose with them, hold her tight, and try to position my body so that she couldn't see the jolly old elf.

He was an awesome Santa- he even curled his beard! A little skinny, but his suit was nice and so was he! I'm pretty sure that he was LDS too, he noticed the CTR ring Pipes was sporting and explained to her what it meant (of course she already knew, but she was way too scared to tell him that). Oh, and he came with his very own elves!

Afterwards, the kiddies and I went to Chick-Fil-A (the best place ever), and as we were leaving, guess who shows up there? Yep, St. Nick! A different one- he had a fake beard, but still looked nice- but I was burned out, Porter was crying for a bottle, and I just honestly wanted to go home. So in the true spirit of Ebenezer, I told the kids that Santa wanted a chicken sandwich and we should let him eat. I know, so mean! When Piper said she still wanted to see him (why, you may ask), Adi looked at her like she was crazy and said, "Why? He already knows what we want. We told him already!" We told the kids that Santa brings only one present and Mom & Dad will provide the rest. So glad Adison actually listens to us- can't really say the same for Miss Piper, she marches to her own mini drummer.

Wondering where I got the awesome alpha? Check it out here! It's free!
