Shutterfly Holiday Cards

I LOVE Christmas! It's that magical time of the year when everything seems possible if you just believe. Plus it's also that time of year when I tend to procrastinate and forget to sent out the Holiday Cards! Yikes! Picking out Holiday cards can be stressful! Do you want folding cards, postcards, photo cards, traditional cards, contemporary cards, or modern cards. Arrr! Just thinking about it is stressing me out. Thankfully the wonderful people at Shutterfly can make things a lot less stressful for both me and you.

Head on over to Shutterfly's wonderfully creative website and just look at the many options to choose from. With over 800 styles to choose from they have you covered on all aspects of Christmas Cards. Pick a card any card and your sure to be amazed at the creativity they have put into their products.

I have never ordered from Shutterfly and I am very eager to try their products out and report to you on my first hand experience. Now do I want multiple pictures or the classic look of a single picture? I have my family Holiday picture all picketed out and just loving these three picks:

The Tree with Cheer card is so pretty and classic. Don't you think? Sometimes one picture can say it all.


I also love, love, love this card, North Pole Love. The crisp clear blue background and cute polar bear just screams winter wonderland.


Or I can pick this one, Snow Kissed Red. This is just beautifully created with the red background and white snowflakes. I how wish it would snow more often in Texas.

Dremel Multi-Max Oscilating Tool Review and Giveaway

What tool loving man would not want to add a Dremel to his collection of tools? My husband is a power tool kinda man. Our garage is filled with just about any kind of tool you can think of.

Changes part II

Recently my father-in-law found out he was being laid off. He decided to try his luck and see if he could find a job near us. Which is wonderful news to have more family in town. (My parents sold their house back home, packed up their belongings, and brought a new house to be near us when we found out we were pregnant with Lil Baby Booty). My employer had a few job openings and I handed his resume to our HR department. A few weeks later he flew in town for an interview and week after that we found out he got the job. Yea.

To help them out we have opened up our home to my father-in-law, my hubby's step-mom, step-sister, and their dog. So our once small quite, peaceful home of three humans, two cats and one dog did a complete 180 degree turn on us. Now there is never a dull moment, someone is always yelling, dogs chasing my cats & chewing up my son's toys, etc. They are a loud family which is completely different from my family and my parents.

We are working out way through the difficult times and I understand it's not easy for them to all live in one room. If there are things that needs to be addressed I discuss them with my husband so he can relate the issue to his father. For instance his father and step-mom are smokers. I can not stand the smell of smoke or allow my son to be near them after they've smoked. I do the same with my father who also smokes but at least he is trying to quite for the sake of my son's health. I also have to learn to let go of the small stuff like pushing in their chairs at the dinner table after they're done eating.

Now they have only lived with us for over a month and it has been stressful for me. Since the move, my two cats only come out of our bedroom at night, I watch my DVR shows in my room (I'm not into watching the Disney Chanel 24/7), pump in my room, and do my laundry folding in my room. So it kind of feels like I've been isolated to my bedroom. Which is depressing to say the least.

Change is good and I keep reminding myself this is for my husband and only a temporary living arrangement. But I can't help but wish I had things the way they were Before the Move. I know I need to except this change for what it is and trust that God has good things coming our way.
