Enter to WIN a $25 Credit to VeryJane.com Giveaway Ends 5/31

I am so excited to tell you about the giveaway we have today! 

When VeryJane heard of the exciting news of Baby #2 being on the way they graciously donated $25 in credit to their online store for one of my readers!! 

I have to be honest, and I hope the other sites don't hear me, VeryJane is by FAR my favorite daily deal site. They have something for everyone, every day! I love that each day there are multiple new items to check out. Whether I am looking for something for myself or Eliza, I can always find something to swoon over! 

Now I have to wait a few more weeks, but I can not WAIT to know if this little one will be a girl or a boy so I can start snagging stuff from VeryJane for them. 

Here are a few of my favorite things I have seen on VeryJane lately:

How stinkin' cute are these personalized tumblers?? Eliza loves to drink out of mine, she would go bonkers over one personalized just for her!

We all remember the little plastic letters and numbers we had on the fridge as kids, look at the new modern version! Way cooler than what I had! 

Check out these summer sandals! I want one of each, in each color!! What a great way to dress up some shorts or pair with a cute maxi dress!

Now that you see just a small portion of what they offer, lets get to the good stuff, entering for your chance at a $25 credit!! 

Enter to win using the Rafflecopter form below.

You must be a U.S. resident who is 18 years or older to win. I will be contacting the winner following the 5/31/13 close date and the winner will have 24 hours to respond to their email. VeryJane will then provide the winner with their credit.

Good Luck!!

Telling Mark! Very Picture Heavy

If you haven't heard the AMAZING news, another little Ernest is on its way!!

Here is the story of how I told Mark...

I Can't Find The Words...

I have been writing this post for a few weeks now, but the words just aren't coming to me. There are events in your life that words aren't able to describe. They seem inadequate.

Our life has been crazy lately. Packing, moving, and so much more...SO MUCH MORE.

What A Wonderful Weekend!!

The weather has been gorgeous! I can get a bit finicky about the heat, but as long as their is a breeze to keep me cool, I am happy!

Mark was out of town last week which left Eliza and I to fend for ourselves. Since I am home with her all day it isn't that different, but those 2 hours Mark is home to help with her at night, man how that helps.

Humpday Humor

Throwback Thursday

Since she is only 2, we don't have many years of Throwback. Here she is just over a year ago on her first trip to the Toledo Zoo!

Oh what a difference a year makes. We went to another zoo this past weekend, we even got to ride a camel!

Dreaming of Daisies and Daffodils

Usually this time of year means mulch, flower beds, and hanging baskets. Now that the house is technically not ours, I haven't done any of this. Yes, I am sure the new owners wouldn't mind me sprucing up the gardens but kind of a waste of money when we are on a tight budget.

I dream of what the landscaping of the new house will look like. It is kind of difficult to picture and plan when right now all we have is a hole in the ground, but trusty Pinterest is always there to help.

Not all of these are realistic for our yard, we can't have a fence, we don't have any really large trees and I tend to kill most things that aren't automatically watered by the sprinklers. Hey, it is worth a shot though!


I have always wanted to grow roses, they are just so pretty!

Have you seen the Home Depot commercial where the husband and wife go to make these towers? I always paid close attention because I would love them for our front porch. So happy I found a link to save the directions!

I have always wanted a vegetable garden...too bad I hate most vegetables. But come on, how cute are these rocks to label them!?

We have a lilac bush at our house now and I LOVE the smell. It is right in front of our kitchen window so when you open it, it fills the house. I do have to say, I hate the amount of bees it brings.

I always dream of sitting out on our patio or porch. The houses are so close at our current house that you feel like everyone is watching you and can hear you(they can) so we tend to just stay inside. At the new house, no one around for miles(OK, acres). I will love these to light up the patio as we sit and talk.

Oh, how I love window boxes. Again, they will probably die, how it the world do you water them???

I adore Hydrangeas. They were the flowers I used at our wedding so I think they have a special place in my heart. We have 4 Hydrangea plants at our house, one was a shower gift from the local nursery, I am hopeful the new owners will allow me to dig it up and take it with me.

I mentioned earlier, we aren't big vegetable people, but we sure are fruit! I love this link to 66 things you can grow at home.

I think my favorite pin, and by how often I see it I think a lot of people like it, is this birdbath planter. It is just too cute! So DIY and Eliza will love seeing the birds in the backyard.
