Mother’s Day is just around the corner. I have a perfect giveaway that Vistaprint has graciously offered to my readers.

As everyone knows, us moms are major picture lovers that takes oh so many pictures of our kids. Hey, we don’t want to miss a moment of their life as they truly do grow up so fast. The problem is, those pictures usually just sit and take a nap on our hard drives and never get awoken to be printed.

This is where Vistaprint comes in to our rescue. Make a photo book! I really love photo books because you are able to keep going back to them through the years and then pass them down once your children leave the nest. Is that not awesome? They are able to share their childhood memories with their children.

Vistaprint is offering an opportunity to win a personalized, 12 X 12 Photo Book. The winner can choose from hard cover, leather cover or linen cover. It includes 26 pages and a variety of layout and design options and free 14-day shipping. The value of the giveaway is over $50.

All you need to do to enter is leave a comment below on your favorite Mother’s Day gift to date :).

If you are also in the market for other creative gifts, thenVistaprint also offers such great products as Birthday Invitations, Custom T-shirts, and Personalized Mugs.

He Is Risen

April 4, 2010 by Jennifer 15 Comments

He is Risen Indeed!

What a beautiful and gorgeous weekend to celebrate our Great Lord’s Resurrection! He is Risen everyone… he is Risen. I am so happy to be a child of the Lord and let me tell you…. you could feel the spirit in the church as we ended the great church service with us all singing Because He Lives.

My precious little L, was so happy to be singing this with her mommy. She would hum along as I was singing. Just melted my heart and brought tears to my eyes. She would get louder and louder all the while just smiling away.

A cute L story was we were sitting in church and mommy forgot to bring a snack for her. She said “Mommy, I am hungry. The bible says you have to feed me.” Oh how it was all I could do to not bust out laughing so loud in the middle of the service.

We had such a wonderful Easter weekend with family. My step-daughter and her boyfriend were able to join in with us all weekend. We started out the weekend with a night of egg dye.

Saturday, we all gathered with the ever big Houck family and had so much fun. We all have been so sad since my beautiful Grandma’s passing and it was all so wonderful for us all to be together. This is how she would of wanted it exactly! There were lots of water pouring on people, silly string, water balloons, food and egg hunts. Such a glorious time.

Sunday, the girls were so excited to jump out of bed and see what the Easter Bunny had left for them. We so enjoyed a great morning service at church and then fun and fellowship at my parents house. Grilling on the grill for the first time of the year was just divine. The girls were so lucky to get to participate in Yay-Yay’s great egg hunts as well with some really cool prizes.

Overall… it was so great to not worry about work and just enjoy some good ole fashioned family fun all the while remembering our wonderful Lord! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. If you blogged about your weekend… please let me know in the comments below so I can visit your post 🙂

Its Been 2 Years Baby

January 2008

December 2009

Together 8 years… Married for 2 Years! Happy Anniversary to the love of my life Scott :).

It all started here on the blog and then a year later I blogged about how could we honestly make it through that first year? Now, here we are January 2010 and I have to say the 2nd year of marriage ROCKED. We had the best year.

Random Thoughts of 2 Years of Marriage

We are much cuter since we are carrying around less pounds now 😉

We still had our tiffs, but we didn’t let it stop us from still showing our love for each other 😉

He is really my best friend!

We can so tell when we are pushing each other’s buttons, and will give each other that smirk 😉

He has made me into a huge coffee drinker 😉

He will have coffee waiting for me in the mornings!

He is such a great hands on daddy that loves taking the girls to Chick-Fil-A 😉

He is so humorous and sometimes he can be over the top but I still love him 😉

He hates talking on the phone!

He loves Fox News 😉

He hates when I let the gas get to right on empty 😉

He loves to do laundry (haha or maybe he just wants clean clothes to wear!)

He is my biggest fan with my work 😉

He builds my self-esteem up so much since I don’t think I’m all that 😉

He loves God and shares his faith openly!

He loves to sneak up behind me and give me the biggest hug (heart melts)

He loves to drive (thank goodness since I love to travel)

He loves to surprise me with my special foods!

He LOVES my cooking 😉

But Most Important: He LOVES me and our girls!

Happy Anniversary Scott. What, Where and How will our 3rd year of marriage will bring us? I for one, cannot wait to find out.

I love you Honey Bunny (he so hates me calling him that). Here’s to an awesome year :::cheers:::

And This is What December Is All About Right

December 18, 2009 by Jennifer 4 Comments

You know this is truly the most wonderful time of year, but even in all the hustle and bustle we simply cannot forget why we celebrate this time of year.

This month has been a month of craziness for sure. As most of you know, I took on the task of going back to school full-time since the girls were both in school (something I am debating now having them in school). So the last two weeks have been up very late nights studying and putting the finalizing touches on end of semester projects. I am so thrilled and happy that I made it to the end of semester. I cannot say it was easy, but I can say I put my whole strength and heart into my work. Well, I can say that work has definitely paid off. I have completed the semester with a 4.0 GPA. I am a bit of perfectionist when it comes to work and I will stress and stress about things. I have cried some tears this semester but now, I can sit back and breathe. I can enjoy the season. I can celebrate with my family Jesus Christ’s birth. I can enjoy seeing the girls smiles on Christmas morning. I can enjoy time with my extended family. I can just take it all in now without any worries or stress. Now… that my friends is what December is all about.

M was in a Christmas play at church last Sunday. I will share video and pictures of that soon. It went soooo well and was sooo funny and cute! I want to leave you though now with this short video. It will move you for sure. This was an act put on right after the play. Enjoy 🙂
