Water Bug

Sorry I have been slacking on blogging about what's been going on during our vacation here, but 1, I've been busy working on my tan and relaxing with the family, and 2, I forgot my cord to upload pictures to my computer from the camera. And I'd hate to blog without giving you a little visual!

But today we went to a pool party at my sister's place and she took some awesome pictures! It was Little M's first time in a pool. We had taken her in the ocean a few days ago and she was not really thrilled with it, but we were hopeful the warm, calm waters of the pool would be better.

We took her in as soon as she got there, and her response was pretty much the same as she had about the ocean. She was okay being in the pool as long as someone was holding her tight and preventing any part of her body from touching the water.

We then took a break to feed her and ourselves before giving it another go. This time she *loved* it!!! She was so happy to bounce up and down, splash with her hands and kick her little legs. It was great to see all her smiles and giggles! We are going to a huge pool party next weekend that one of the guys Skip works with is throwing, so hopefully it'll be as good an experience. I leave you with some of the pictures and promise to get back into regular blogging mode when we come home on Monday!

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
