Mommy Like.

Its official. I'm a mom with a mini-van. Never thought I would be saying that. An SUV, maybe, but not a van. It turns out that I L-O-V-E driving this van and I love all the room! We got a really sweet deal on it, too. A HUGE blessing!

I won!

Last week, I was seriously shocked when I discovered that I won the infamous lemon tee than Hip2Save.com gives away on a weekly. I got picked out of like 1500 poeple. Theis may not seem like a big deal, but let me remind you that I NEVER win anything! So, I showed up on Hip2Save.com today (woohoo!) sporting my shirt and my kids...here is the link...http://hip2save.com/2010/04/lemonshirtgiveaway0430.html. I loved getting a free shirt and, if you know me, you know I love anything citrus! I hope all my other friends who try to win every week win soon! :)

The Quotable Jackson: Swwweet Garage Sale Deals!

A couple of weeks ago, my friend and I stopped at a couple of garage sales. At the first one we went to, I let Jackson walk around because there were no breakables. He immediately started picking out things that he wanted. He then went up to the man running the garage sale and said, "How much?" What?!? This was his first time at a garage sale, so I don't know how he picked up on the way it works so fast! He found a brand new "Scene-it" game (still in the wrapper!) and a baseball glove that was just his size. The guy gave him both for $1...only 50 cents each! I ended up scoring a whole bunch of stuff for just 6 bucks at this garage sale, and I believe it was because of Jackson. The guy running the sale said to me when we were leaving, "You can such a good-looking kid!" Hmmm....maybe I should take him with me to garage sales more often!

Here's a photo of everything I scored for just 6 bucks!!!

Baby's Got Bumbo

Several weeks ago, I posted on my Facebook status that I wanted a Bumbo seat for Madelyn and asked if anyone had one they were interested in selling. A friend from a fellow Reformed Baptist Church responded and we agreed to trade the Bumbo for some boy clothes. I gave her several boy outfits in a size that no longer fit Jackson and she gave me the Bumbo seat. It was a great swap, in my opinion!
