Back from Sea World and Finally a Freebie!!!

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I am really starting to rethink my priorities and I want to become a better wife and mom.

We got back from San Antonio yesterday from our first real family vacation. It did not really go quite how I thought it should go but we did have a blast and Eric my dh and I really learned some key lessons about our ds: 1 - load him up with sugar and you will have a good time while the sugar is in his system but watch out for the let down. He was a bear. 2 - don't forget to bring a stroller (or rent  one) to carry all your stuff. Andrew enjoyed the visit to sea world more when we didn't make him walk everywhere (he is only 4 years old). 3 - Don't set your expectations too high because they will just get wiped out and everyone will be disappointed. Seriously though, I don't understand why children now days are constantly asking for you to buy them things like popcorn, cotton candy, this thing or that thing. They become like a broken record. One time I even told Andrew not to bother asking as I saw a cart with popcorn  and pickles go by. Knowing that he would ask for popcorn he said to me, "I wasn't going to ask but I sure would like a pickle." A Pickle. The one thing he had not been bothering us to buy him and BOOM he has to have a pickle. Well, thankfully we distracted him from that and kept moving right along.

I just love the shows at Sea World. My favorites were Believe with Shamu and the other Orcas (obviously) and Viva with the Beluga Whales and Dolphins. They both just brought tears to my eyes and goose bumps to my body. LOVE THEM!

But enough about out trip, I have put together a freebie sampler from the collab kit I just finished with my friend Lisa at OScrapMomO's Place. The kit is called All Better and fits great with all those bumps, scraps and boo-boo's our children so often get. The sampler includes 2 papers, one frame and one ribbon. My part of the full kit has a total of 24 papers, 10 rounded square frames, 1 round frame with matte, 6 ribbons, 1 hammer and 1 tongue depressor. You can purchase it all for just $1 at Scrap Debris as of Wednesday. If you happen to see more than one of my kits that you like send me an email with which kits you would like to buy and I will send you an invoice to purchase however many of them together. That will save you time instead of purchasing them separately.

Here is a preview of the All Better Kit:

And here is a preview of the freebie sampler for you.

Don't forget to get your freebie from Lisa too and check out Scrap Debris as of Wednesday for the main part of this fantastic kit. I pray you all have a great day!

Been a long time...

I feel like it has been forever since I last posted to my blog. Things have just been a little crazy here for me. I had to plan a party for my son's 4th birthday, celebrate Mother's Day, celebrate my dh's birthday and plan for our vacation to San Antonio to see Shamu. We leave tomorrow for that, yay! On top of that we just switched internet services to save some money and service has been sketchy for about a month with that.

But with all that has gone on I did manage to get a little freebie made for you. I will be back on Monday to share that with you. Right now I am trying to get it all loaded to 4shared.

Well, I have now realized that having my son's birthday party the weekend of Mother's day was a mistake (not to be repeated). His actual birthday fell on a Wednesday so we could go either way to celebrate on the weekend. Then my husband's birthday was yesterday which is only 6 days after our son's. Need I say more on the craziness here??? We did like having family and others here to celebrate with us though.

I have one more load of laundry before I start to pack today. I think I am looking more forward to this vacation than anything else right now. DH and I went once before ds was born to Sea World and fell in love with Shamu. Now we can't wait to introduce our ds to him. He has seen pictures and seems to be as excited as we are. When we get back I will share the goodie with you.

Have a great day,

Stephany
