FRIDAY FUZZIES!

Ok gals, let's get right to it!

From Under the Clutter
She has a sweet and easy-to-read site with lots of good stuff waiting for you! There is variety, so you never know what you will be enjoying that day. I have gotten behind and really need to spend more time there myself so I can soak up all the goodness. One of my favorite things is her other site, Being Frugal. I recommend you visit her there too!

Broom Huggers
I found Kathy by chance during my webquest for better living. I love that she has created this business which only cleans your home with what is pure and good for your family. Her site is full of such good information, resources, and even stories! Go see her. And if you live in the Atlanta area, use her company to clean your home!

Antique Mommy
I used to visit here from time to time early on in my blog life, but somehow she got lost on my favorites list. Gotta clean that thing out now that I have a lot of them on my sidebar! She tells lovely stories of her life as an "older" mom to a precious little boy! Very funny and very sweet stories! She is definitely worth the stop!

The Big Yellow House
Martie is a very special lady. She will tell you that what she does is no big deal, but I would disagree! She runs a happy-and busy!-household with 9 kids while her husband serves in Iraq. I have really enjoyed getting to know her through the stories she shares about her family and her life. Please go visit her and maybe send her some extra encouragement!

Anita Renfroe's Site
Ok, maybe this is cheating a bit, but this gal is funny. And true, this is her website and not her blog, but a great resource worth some fuzzies! You can read about her, watch her videos, and find out how to see her in person. I love the Mom Song, of course! And I have so been wanting to read The Purse Driven Life!

Happy Friday Fuzzies to all!

At least it's not Thanksgiving yet!

Although I wouldn't have been surprised if it had taken me that long to post about Halloween!

But alas, it did not!

And let me just say, that apparently I did not get the memo that every other child was taking on a Wizard of Oz character this year! I thought I was being so good and original this year. Honestly, I did not even stroll through the costume section of the stores this year. A had told me early on that she wanted to be Belle this year but I quickly countered with Dorothy. We had already done Tinker Bell and Mulan in the past and I think I might have pulled some strings by mentioning "sparkly red shoes". We had everything we needed for this outfit. All I did was repaint some shoes with glitter spray paint. L was easy! Once I mentioned the word lion, he quickly ran with the whole Lion King thing. I did not have the heart to tell him that he was really the Courageous Lion. Either way...he got to roar to his heart's content! My friend Jenna was so sweet to let me borrow the lion costume!

How could you resist a lion with such dimples?!






Tap, tap, tap! I think she made a great Dorothy!






My favorite pair!


They made a few rounds through the neighborhoods then quickly came home to help Mommy pass out goodies.

Here they are "practicing" how to hand out the goodies.


Eagerly awaiting the next visitors!


"Can I have just one? Pleeeesssse!"


A showing off her loot and her favorite-Reeses Peanut Butter Cup!


Over the weekend, we visited my in-laws. A and L were so excited that each of them received their class friend to take home for the weekend. A brought home Benjamin Bunny, along with his overnight backpack. L brought home Buddy the Bear with all that he needed. Each had to take good care of their friend, take him along on all their adventures, and then do a scrapbook page telling of all they had done. What I found so funny is that my kids' teachers are sisters and they did this without the other knowing. Sure! ;)

A and Benjamin stop for photographers!


And this is just a small example of what my children like to do when they sneak away with my camera!

And the Canadians have taken the lead!

Oh hush!

I know I said I would not be back until Thursday, but technically, it is still Monday.

You know.

Today, the day I wrote my first post this morning.

Where I said I would not be posting again until Thursday.

I just had to come back for a quick second to tell you what my secret potential prize announcement was.

On Friday, I thought in my head, "what the heck! give away two prize sets!".

So, I did!

Only I just today heard back from my second winner....

Jeanette!

She is not a blogger but I bet just as sweet ;) And thank goodness she checks her junk mail! (Can I not be "junk" anymore Jeanette?!)

And I just think it is a hoot that she lives in Canada where my other new buddies live! In fact, Julie-Anne was my very first blog prize winner and Kimmy won from me also!

Ok, so really, I have given away more stuff to the USA gals, but who's counting anyway!

Congratulations Jeanette!

And now back to my hibernation!!

This and That

It has been a long weekend and will continue to be a long week, but I did want to let you in on a few fun giveaways before I forgot.

$30 GC to Arte Bebe'
This site has the coolest stuff! We have one of the puzzles at work and I really love it. I might have drooled over some of the other stuff they have!

Busy Body Book Organizer
I could soooo use one of these! And knowing most of you are busy moms as well, I bet you could too!

Pedal Car Giveaway
We may be almost out of the age range for these cute Pedal Cars, but I just had to share!

Cool Zebras giveaways
She is giving away books every week!

MetroWrap
This may the coolest baby wrap I have seen yet! I know I don't have a babe right now, but if I decide to, I would be one hip Mama!

Josh Turner Package
There is a lot of neat stuff in this package to be given away!

I am taking the next few days off from posting. I love T-it-T and WFMW, but I am temporarily out of tackles and ideas.

And honestly, I am feeling quite prickly these days and need not take the chance of slipping up and saying something I will regret.

So, for the next few days, I am going to zip my own lip and just enjoy (and comment) y'all. I am also planning on getting to know some new people better. I will be back Thursday with fun pics of the kids and then have new places to share with Friday Fuzzies.

And the pampering goes to.....

Betsy!

I am so excited for her!

And although I do not know her very well yet, my guess is she needs some pampering since she homeschools AND is helping her husband with a new church. You can find her talking about that over at In The Beginning.

She is going to get a mini Ginger Citrus Set (sugar scrub, body wash, & body butter) and the Skin Conditioning Oil from Arbonne.

I actually have another special announcement regarding this prize, but I will have to wait until confirmation to share it with you!!

THANK YOU everyone who entered for my Fall Y'all prize giveaway! There were so many that said how much they needed this, so I hated having to choose. Actually "Random Generator" chose, so you could blame him!

It was fun (although I have not won anything at this point-boo hoo!) and I have so many new people to get to know better! I know that alone will be a huge blessing!

For all those that did not win and would be interested in learning more about Arbonne's incredible products, feel free to email me for information about the products and my specials. Sorry for the hassle, but I have decided to take my Arbonne website address off of my blog for security purposes; I can share that site with anyone that personally emails me!

Don't miss out....everything is HALF-OFF in November!!

FRIDAY FUZZIES!

Well.......

here is the deal!

Thanks to the last few weeks of T-it-T and WFMW and NOW the big carnival this week, I have a HUGE new list of people to get to know better!

But that is the problem. I want to get to know them better before I share them with you. I want it to have a little meaning and substance! And since I am a tad busy trying to win free stuff for myself, I have not had a lot of time to get to know these other awesome gals!

So, after today, I will go back and spend the next week getting to know a few people better so I can share with you next Friday!

However, as to not leave you with nothing, go get to know a few great gals that I know both through their blogs AND in real life!! They are all great!

Look at my sidebar over there------->and click on Jenna, Jennifer, Jennifer O, and Staci. Jenna has 4 precious boys, leads a very active life because of them, always seems to be creating some incredible memories with them, and shares them via great pics all the time! Jennifer is a dear girlfriend of mine and I am so thankful for her friendship. She is truly supermom right now as she teaches full-time, is going to grad school (with straight A's), runs around after two cute kids (well, ok, one is still only a crawler!). Jennifer O is another busy mom of two boys who always shares the fun activities she does with the boys. While there, go check out her new site about creating a healthier home for her family (Saving My Family)! Staci does not post frequently, but when she does, you get to see so many cute pics of her kids! And who knows, you may find someone at her place you want to visit as well. I love her friend that runs Stockston Photography!

Happy Friday Fuzzies to all!

Booped!

Between this week, yesterday, and last night....

I am just plain booped! (get it!)

Stacey
