Little T

TGIF!!


Five Reason's i'm SO happy it's Friday!


1. This sweet little boy! He makes every day a wonderful one. No matter how tired or stressed I am, ONE look or smile from him and I am loving life all over.


2. My sweet sweet husband is on his way back from his deployment to the middle east as I type! We will get to see him in just a few short hours! It will be the first time he has seen T since early November. He will be on R&R leave for two whole weeks! YAY!


3. I think my Birchbox will be arriving today! It's my first one since I signed up and I am so stoked! I was on the waiting list for what seemed like forever! If you don't know about Birchbox yet, follow my link and check it out!

4. Good hair AND make-up day! This is a good thing considering I haven't seen my husband in a while and I was really wanting to look my best for him! Usually on days that I really want both to work out.. they don't.

5. Tonight I do not have to snuggle with my pillow! There will be a real, live, warm husband to do that with! 

I've linked this post to From My Grey Desk Blog on her "High Five for Friday" page. If you haven't been over there you should! So cute! 

Happy Friday Friends!

Consignment Sale

So, I went to a consignment sale today! Very Exciting. When I was pregnant, I really didn't give much thought to where I would go to buy my little darling his toys, clothing, and other goodies. However, shortly after having him, my aunt took me to a consignment sale and I was completely blown away by the prices and quality of the items that were for sale. The sale I went to is held twice a year. While I think that there are some items that I personally would shy away from buying second hand, there are SO many other things that it just makes sense to buy at such places. For example, I bought T a Leap Frog Learn and Groove musical table like the one seen here. It retails on Amazon for $33.49 and I paid only $12.00!!!   YAY! The one I bought was in great shape, barely any wear and tear... if any. So definitely a great buy! I also bought him a Move & Crawl ball like the one seen here which retails for $18.89 for only $7.00 ! Another great buy. I just can't believe the deals I was able to find today. I did purchase about 12-15 outfits for him, all of which were quality items, all for less than $5 each. Pretty exciting stuff! I am one who believes that children do not need a room FULL of toys to be happy. So, I tried to pick out a few things I thought would really be great for where he is at now. I bought several other goodies for T, but I'll write more about those later. I'm ALL about saving my pennies where I can and love finding such hidden gems. My question for you: What do you do to save money when it comes to raising your babies?

Here We Go....

I'm finally doing it. Creating a BLOG! AHhhh! I've thought about this for some time and I decided that today is the day to jump into the crazy world that is Blogging. I read MANY blogs daily and find that I go back and forth from one to another, loving bits and pieces of all of them. However, I need a place where I can express myself and hopefully inspire and learn from others as well. My name is Megan. I am in my late twenties, a Teacher, Christian, Veteran, DIYer, who is IN LOVE with life. In addition,  I'm a mother of one beautiful little boy we'll call T. and the proud wife of one Army Pilot Hunk we'll call Billy. 


I've decided that for now.. this Blog will be my (My hubby of course knows) little secret with you. I feel this way I can really express myself until I gain more confidence in myself and in my Blogging abilities. 


Personally, I am very passionate about learning. I just adore learning something new and have so much to learn. For this very reason I decided that there must be others out there like me who are interested in LOTs of things. I want this to be a place that serves those interests. I'm SO excited to start this. Like, jump out of my socks excited because I know that I am about to begin a journey that will teach me more than I could ever hope to teach or share with others.


If, you are like me, then I really hope this is a place where you can come and just enjoy yourself (as soon as I start adding content anyways). When I put my sweet 7 month old to sleep at night, my time begins. I want that to be my time with you all! How exciting, it will be like Girls Night Out- when ever we want. Or at least- I hope !


Disclaimer:  although I am a Teacher, I can not promise that this blog will be perfectly correct grammatically. I am an imperfect person. I accept that about myself and hope you will too.  Also, I prefer Blogs that read like I imagine the writer actually speaks. 


So....Let's get this party started!
