This is my new motto to live by! Trav and I had talked about doing some redecorating in the kitchen and such and I came across this piece to remodel my kitchen around (I always find one piece and design around it) and it has those words on it. Lately we have been blessed with alot, and it seems like great things just keep on coming. Things are really coming together now for my cloth diaper company! I am shocked and completely stoked to see the feedback on the diapers people are testing currently. They compare them to the biggest name cloth diapers out there right now that go for 35.00 a piece. My website/store should be up and running in the middle of March. I plan on stocking whenever I can, and do not plan on doing custom orders. This keeps the work going on my terms and does not put me in a rush to make dipes since I am a mommy first. I have settled on a name after chatting with a few friends on my ideas. They are Roo-bugs! This name is 2 nicknames that we have for B combined. I call her my chunkaroo, and Trav calls her his bug. I am getting custom tags made and business cards. I cannot even say how excited I am to have found something I am super good at, besides cooking. We have alot of exciting things going on this weekend. We are really redoing our kitchen. There is NO way we can sell this stupid house right now so might as well make it what I want. We may buy again and rent this one, but it will still be ours so remodeling isnt a bad thing. Trav and I were talking the other night, and with our expanding family if push came to shove we could turn this house into 4 bedrooms if needed. So in my kitchen we are refinishing the cabinets, and putting a stone backsplash on the wall among other things. Trav really wants to repaint the entire downstairs with new colors, but I HATE painting so its all him if he wants to do it! lol We got a great sewing table that is being delivered for my business and I will set up shop for now in the loft. Tomorrow morning we are taking Bailey to have her pictures taken for her 1st bday invites. I was able to score a photoshoot with an AWESOME photog for a great deal. This will be her first real photoshoot besides what we have had done at portrait innovations. My brother is also graduating from his nursing program tomorrow! I am SOOOO proud of him. Sunday we are headed to do some shopping around at Lowes and Home Depot for remodel stuff. Gosh our weekends are always so busy! Yesterday Bailey and I went to do some shopping at Dillards because they are having an awesome sale right now, and Trav wanted me to go look at home decor stuff and clothes, etc. I came away with some AWESOME deals. I hate paying full price for anything and recently started getting low on the makeup that I use. Turns out Sephora is the only store that sells it and it never goes on sale. When we were at the mall over the weekend I passed on buying it ($38) to find a better deal. Really it is not soo bad because I do not always wear makeup and the last time I bought it was before Bailey was born. Well yesterday at Dillards I found a new brand that is the same price however it was on a UBER sale. I got Foundation, concealer, a whole smokey eye shadow kit, and a blemish stick for 20.00! Less than that one makeup would have cost. The great deals did not stop there. Last weekend we had looked a a kegerator for Trav, but he passed because it was 200.00 and not something he NEEDED. Well at dillards I see one, and it is the floor model, but at 65.00 plus 40% off that was a steal. I got up to pay for it, and the lady said......"I have a new one in a box in the back let me get it for you"!!!!! What? I seriously got a kegerator for Trav for 33.00 total!!! He was SOOO excited and sent me to pick him up a keg as soon as he got home from work! lol I also got for the 2 of us some clothes. I ended up with 4 pairs of jeans and 1 shirt, and 1 pair of jeans, 2 shirts, and 2 hoodies for Trav and spent 100.00! These are all name brand stuff too like Volcom, Quicksilver, and Buffalo jeans for me. I tell ya that was my kind of sale! I plan on hitting another location over the weekend by myself to really take the time to shop. It was funny because the kegerator box was huge and I parked far so I had to hold Bailey and put the kegerator in the stroller! lol I got alot of funny looks! Well I have alot going on today, so I better get started. Bailey is perfect, and is such a sweet girl! Today is a beautiful day to head out and get some more shopping done :) Oh and my sister is coming today to look at a house right down the street from us. I would love to have her close by, and it is the only way I can watch her kids until June. Of course she will pay me, but right now the daycare is costing her 500 a week, and that is crazy. If I do take them on again......all that money will go towards paying cash for our wedding/eloping? lol Who wants to finance a wedding? Not us that is for sure! We shall see! Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
