Sharing my favorite Birthday Picture

Since it is Saturday and I really don’t feel like working…I just thought I’d randomly share a picture that my husband captured on my Birthday. It’s really cute and I love that all my kids were smiling. My oldest is growing to be such a handsome young man and my girls, well, they’re still my little princess’ and I hope that they don’t grow as fast as my son has.

the kids and I But…don’t mind me because I wasn’t wearing any makeup. I wasn’t fixed up in anyway. It was just one of those lounge around the house days for me. We didn’t do much, didn’t go anywhere and the day was pretty much uneventful. But as I say that, it was still a very pleasant day. I’m okay with being one year older…

I know there isn’t much written today. Like I said, I’m not really in the mood to “work” right now. I’m busy cleaning house, hints the reason for this post. I’m sort of procrastinating doing that. Unfortunately it has to be done. Saturday’s and Sunday’s are my cleaning days; always have been, always will be. I try to keep off the computer just because I want the kids to see me doing something other than sitting on the computer. It means a lot to them to hang with mom. So, with this I bid you a good day. Get out there and have fun with your own kids because, after all, we’re not getting any younger (and neither are the kids).

Have a great day guys and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Blogfully yours,

Barb ;)

NEW SpongeBob SquarePants DVD Release

SpongeBob is at it again with seven new never-before-seen episode in the latest DVD “SpongeBob’s Last Stand” set to release on March 16, 2010. A few of the episodes in this DVD were pretty hilarious. My favorite was Pet or Pests because the baby worms are always so-o-o cute! I couldn’t help but divert my attention to what was on the tube rather than what I was and should have been doing (work). My girls even laughed at me a few times because I zoned out while they were talking to me. They said I have to be a bigger fan than they are because even they listen to others when they’re being talked to (gosh-the nerve!) LOL!

You can imagine how funny this video is just by the synopsis:

I am officially 36 Years Young Today!!

Ha-ha! I’m not an old fart yet, nope- not at all; I’m aging like fine wine- getting better with age!!!! I mean, come-on, I’m only 36. I don’t have a single sign of aging. No grey hair, no nothing. There’s no mid-life-crisis happening here. I promise! Nope, just the weathered wear and tear of being a mother. Age, nope, no signs. I’m still in my prime. I’m still fun to be around. I’m still “kid” like (in my own ways). I couldn’t be happier that today is my day. My special, special day. The day that my mother gave birth to me thirty-six freakin’ years ago…okay, yeah, I am old, but just a little (I’m in denial)!

My two bestest friends in the world came by last night to give me a birthday gift and I love, love, LOVE IT!!! I got the coolest coffee maker known to man! Those coffee makers that make you want to brew coffee all day long cause it’s too cool to just sit there looking pretty. Oh, and speaking of coffee. Remember; My Community Coffee giveaway ends today so head to the giveaway page and enter before midnight tonight. I’ll contact a winner tomorrow after I have a cup of coffee in the morning.

VeggieTales Pistachio- the Little Boy that Woodn’t DVD Giveaway

I hope you don’t mind, but since the new VeggieTales movie Pistachio- The Little Boy that Woodn’t released yesterday, I thought I’d jump right in, tell you a little about the movie and offer up a copy that I have to give away.

So me and the girls watched the movie, and as usual, we were pretty thrilled about the whole show (we love VeggieTales). You know the story of Pinocchio; well, it’s basically the same story but with a VeggieTales twist. Just as Pinocchio, Pistachio has to learn that, your parents are there to help you do right, not lead you in the wrong direction.  You’re parents love you and they are only trying to protect you.

Tony’s Crispy Crust Pizza Review and Coupon Giveaway

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Tony’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hi guys, yes it’s me again…I’m just busy, busy, busy today.

I thought I’d share a little bit about a new pizza my family and I tried (a while back). It’s the new Tony’s Pizza with Crispy Crust and you can find these at most of your local grocers. Have you tried it yet? I thought it was pretty great and it actually filled all five of our hungry tummies. We even had a few slices left untouched because we were too full to finish them. I thought that was pretty impressive because, honestly, by the size of the box, I thought for sure, just by looking at the box, that there wouldn’t be enough. WRONG!

 

TONYS CRISP  CRUST PIZZA PEPPERONI TONYS CRISP CRUST PIZZA SAUSAGE AND PEPPERONI TONYS CRISP CRUST PIZZA SUPREME

That was the yummy goodness of Tony’s Pizza. Now, the Pepperoni (the picture on the left) looks a little greasy but I can assure you that this is just the pepperoni (not the pizza per say). As we all know, pepperoni does tend to do that.

I’ve not only met some wonderful people (wonderful people like you), but I’ve also opened the doors to opportunities that would have otherwise not been presented to me.
