Let The Guessing Games Begin...


In the spirit of fun (and just messing with all the people that keep asking us) we figured we'd start to toss out some hints for our forthcoming daughter's first name. We'll see how this goes, but let's start simple for now.

Our four criteria before we chose a name:

1. It can't be a top 50 most popular name
2. Easy to pronounce when read
3. Can be spelled easily when heard
4. No stripper names

Nursery Update: Its Really Coming Together!










So, Jeff and I have been very busy the last few weeks getting all the stuff for our nursery together. Check out the photos below. We still have a few things to clean up, and items that are still in boxes (Swing, Car Seat etc.) waiting to be called up from the bull pen, but it is starting to feel very real.

I also can't post the pics of this pretty room (i.m.h.o.) without saying a HUGE thank you to our parents. They have gifted us with so many blessings that have made this room possible. From furnitre purchases, to the "can I stop by, I have something for you" stops... they have both been SO generous. Thank you Parents!!!!





Shopping for Deals!

So, many of you know that I use this site to tell me what deals are available at my local grocery store. I also follow a few blogs that post some ideas on how to use coupons combined with store sales to get things for super cheap and even free! Bargain shopping has really made a differance in our family budget. Just because I was so tickled with myself... I took a picture of all the stuff I got last night at Target for $22!
