Just wanted to let you know that on the left bar here you will find two fan boxes for our two fan pages:
The first is for my stuff: Macrame, Crochet and More by MelanieR
The second is for my husband's drawings: Custom Pencil Drawings by Claudiu
If you are on Facebook and love becoming a fan of pages...there is two for you on the side bar that I have listed above. Have fun and follow us on Facebook! This is a neat free way to promote what you do if you are a business of any kind. Jump on board...there is a link on each of the boxes that will take you to your facebook to create them (I believe so).
Best wishes!
All is going well with the new baby at home. As you see, I haven't had a ton of time to update this blog...but give me a week or so to get settled back into the swing of things. Last week was the First entire week at home with the baby and 4 1/2 year old son.
I am starting to feel normal again. Yippie!
So glad I did our taxes early this year...no way they would be getting done right now if that had been the case!
We are currently saving by taking advantage of coupons that we get. We use them right away in order to not let them sit around and expire. Before long, folks stop sending you the good coupons...so better to stock up!
Got any FREE baby stuff sites for me to visit? Would love to check them out and share here!

9 Days until the baby will be here!
Yes! Only 9 days left...or 8 if you don't count today! :-)
I wanted to make sure I posted in the event the baby should come earlier.
My sitter surprised me with a Baby Shower last week and gave me two huge boxes of Diapers, and I also got from others Clothes and many other useful items...to many to list!
Very thoughtful and sweet and all the kids made me cards so I have already put them into the Baby Book! :-)
It is all getting exciting! It is hard to believe the time is almost here to welcome this new addition.
Still have some last minute cleaning and planning that still needs to be done, but for the most part we are all ready.
People have been giving me great coupons for diapers, etc...and I am holding onto them tight.
We have the tax money ready to pay the dreaded hospital bill...but glad to be able to pay it (hopefully) when the time comes.
I have money set aside for Newborn pictures in the hospital! I love pictures...they are my weakness.
Til next time,
Have a terrific beautiful weekend!
I hope to be bringing you updates on the way we save as a family of four (or five if you are a pet lover as we are)! :-)

3 weeks exactly until baby is due to arrive!
I can't believe it! Seriously exactly 3 weeks from today (or less) we will have our new little baby girl!
The name so far we seem to be set on is:
(drum roll please...............................................)
Anabelle Presley (first middle)
Our second in line:
Teodora Presley (first middle)
I am kinda liking the second better but my husband is set on the first selection. I named our son...so I believe it is time to let him have this one as it is a pretty name still yet! :-)
I tend to like "cool" names rather than "pretty." :-)
We bought our hand sanitizers, dish pan, and nasal aspirator. (I want to look into the suggestion a commentor, Corinne, mentioned that she swears by: Cleanoz)
Really, typical things you have to buy non-stop is all we still need to get like: Diapers and Wipes....we have enough to get started but that will always be a need until she is potty trained. :-)
Have a great week!

With only weeks away...only a few things left to purchase!
We are only 3 1/2 weeks from baby's debut in March! I am getting excited about the end of the pregnancy and the beginning with a new little girl! We all are!
Thanks to us saving a lot of our items from our son, there was little to purchase for this one which is great and a money saver.
What we still need to purchase, really isn't necessarily a need but here it goes:
Thanks to us saving a lot of our items from our son, there was little to purchase for this one which is great and a money saver.
What we still need to purchase, really isn't necessarily a need but here it goes:
- Dish pan (to hand wash all baby stuff...it is what we did with our son...we didn't like using the dishwasher for anything baby)
- Hand Sanitizers
- More diapers and wipes
- Gift for our son (from baby...good suggestion from a book)
- Gift for our pet Phoebe (toy poodle...what we did with our son for her and it really helped a lot...she as never jealous!)
- Nasal Aspirator (hoping to get one from the hospital so we won't purchase this)
The most important above are the gifts for transition and hand sanitizers. Everything else could be gotten after the baby is born. Or, that is how we see it! :-)
Nice to be set!
I still feel like (at times) there are items I forgot to put on the master list. We'll see!
Have a great upcoming weekend everyone!

4 weeks until the baby is due!
I am counting down! Forgive me if I am taking a small break from the blogging here...I will try to get in some posts here and there between now and then. Currently we are in major preparation in the house setting up for a new baby and having already a four year old.
Also, at work I am having to prep for my Maternity Leave! I am looking forward to it and want to make sure my substitute has an easy time when I am gone for a little while. I have already gotten so much done but still more to do. :-)
Everyone take care...I will try to keep posting but in the event you notice me missing you will understand!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy first day of Chinese New Year today also!

Vanity Seat Update: Finished!
Below is my husband and son attaching the seat and the rest as you see are the finished results!Side by side comparison in next post!
Vanity Seat Update: Paint Choice and Frame Painted
Before and After of the Frame Painting. My husband did an awesome job. Looks beautiful!
Vanity Seat Update: Fabric Chosen and Upholstered
The first two pictures are of the fabric my husband and I decided on. Isn't it beautiful? I love it!
The lower two pictures are of my husband modeling the act of upholstering the seat cushion (actually that was my job and I did it...didn't I do a good job?). :-) My husband's part is coming up in the next post (painting the metal frame).
