Shutterfly Fun!

I love to send out personalized cards each year at Christmastime and this year there is no exception! This year, Shutterfly has given me 50 free cards because I am a blogger, and all I have to do is to tell you about all the great deals you can find on this awesome website, so here goes!

I started using Shutterfly right after Ava was born. The pictures we had taken at the hospital gave us a gift card to use with Shutterfly, and when we ordered a second batch we got another gift card as well! On top of all that, we got a third gift card from registering at Target. Add it all up and that made $30 in gift cards! I used the gift cards to create and send out Ava’s birth announcements! You can do the same by clicking on this link: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/announcements/birth-announcements?c=60401! There are so many unique styles to choose from!

Another purchase I have made from Shutterfly in the past year was a really BIG purchase. And when I say BIG, I don’t mean pricey….I mean LARGE! I had Shutterfly enlarge some of our first family portraits so that I could make a beautiful photo collage on our living room wall! See the picture below?


Shutterfly had the best prices around when it came to enlargements. They also shipped everything so carefully that it made it to our house in tip top shape! If you need to get any prints enlarged for a gift or for yourself click here: http://www.shutterfly.com/prints/large-format-prints!

My sister has made Ava two really special books with Shutterfly. One of the photobooks was a present to her when she was first born! It has pictures of all her family members and pictures of where she lives and everything! It was the perfect gift! The other book she made for Ava is an alphabet book that has pictures of Ava holding everyday items that begin with different letters of the alphabet. These photobooks are the best gifts because they really come from the heart! If you’d like to make one, you can get all the details by clicking this link: http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books

Finally, my most favorite thing Shutterfly has to offer! Christmas Cards! You have got to take a look at the hundreds of different types of Christmas cards! You can personalize the sayings and edit pictures and decide how many photos you want on the card and even where they are placed! It’s like you own your own card making studio, and of course it’s all at a terrific price! Click the link below to see all of the magnificent cards you can choose from! I’ll reveal my own personal cards in the mail of course! Unless, we run out, and if that’s the case I’ll post it on here so that everyone can see how great Shutterfly does! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards

Well, that’s it for now! I am so happy I had a chance to tell you about all the great deals on Shutterfly! Check it out for yourself and make something special for someone you love! Merry Christmas!

The Week is Here!

We can't believe this is the week we will see our daughter. Some of you may be thinking, "What? How do you know? Your due date isn't even until next week!" Well, let me update those of you who may be thinking this. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to the doctor, hoping and praying that my body would be showing some progress towards having a baby. The doctor checked and informed us that the baby is still kinda high, and that I'm not 1 cm dilated, but I'm not 0 cm either. So she told us it was time to make a plan. Here's what she came up with. She said that if I am dilated 2-3 cm by this Wednesday, then she'll send me over to the hospital right then and start inducing me. But, if I'm not 2-3 cm then the following day, Thursday, she would do a c-section. She knew we were going to be on Fall Break and that we'd love to spend a couple of free extra days off with Ava so she said we could do it this week. She's going out of town on Fri...

Can You Hear It?

Yesterday, Kyle and I went to the doctor's office to see if we could hear the heartbeat. As soon as I got there, the receptionist said that our doctor was out delivering a baby and it would be about 30 minutes before she got back. No big deal, I just waited. Then Kyle got there about ten minutes after I did, and we waited some more. And some more. Two hours later, we were taken back to a room where we waited for about 20 more minutes. And finally the doctor was there! No complaining, she's a busy lady! And I had my best friend there to keep me company. What more could a girl ask for....except maybe a cheeseburger-I was STARVING. We were so happy when she came in. I thought I was going to jump off the table. She started telling us about finding the heartbeat and how it could be difficult to find. She told us that if we couldn't hear it, we would schedule an ultrasound so we could SEE it. Well, as soon as she said that I started to get nervous we wouldn't hea...

Thriftiness Fun

Those of you who know me, or have spent at least 5 mintutes around me...know that I am one of the most frugal people on the planet. Why am I such a tightwad? Well...I think I gotta give the credit to my dad on that one. He taught me from an early age the importance of being smart with money. I saved up my birthday and Christmas money when I was very young just so that I could start my first savings account. I started babysitting at age 11 (which I cannot believe), and every bit of that went into my account. I did lots of odd jobs when I was a kid to earn and save a buck here and there, including collecting chestnuts from the giant trees in our backyard to sell at a local grocery store. (Have you ever seen where chestnuts come from?? A baseball sized ball of needles, basically.)  It was a tough job, but I was excited to be earning and saving. So that's the story of my thrifty beginnings, and it has continued to follow me into my adulthood. At this point in my life, saving money ...
