March for Babies!!

Very excited to be doing the March of Dimes walk Saturday, April 14th! 

I decided this weekend or next, I'd put my crafting skills to work making tie dye shirts for all of my family & friends attending. FYI: I have never tie dyed anything in my life so this should be interesting. Isn't it kind of 'idiot proof' anyway? ;)

The minute I found out I was pregnant, I threw myself into the pregnancy for dummies books & signing myself up for every class known to mankind. Of course, as I started reading, I knew there could be complications in pregnancy. I said to myself every single day as I rubbed my belly, "I hope this doesn't happen to me."

Personally, I do know some friends that have hard times getting pregnant, staying pregnant, losing their baby and, having stillborns. I have so much respect for them because they are incredibly strong to keep trying after that. 

This is why I want to do this walk. I want to meet the mothers that have had early baby deaths & premature babies. I'd like to raise as much awareness as I can about this cause. 

Our kids are our future. <3 Xo 

I'm a Winna!

Eli let me sleep an extra hour this morning. (YES!) 

He sat next to me the whole time & watched Sesame Street like the good boy that he is. 

Anyway, I woke up, kissed him, put a pot of coffee on, made the bed and, turned my laptop on like I do every morning. 

Don't you just love getting winning e-mails? Remember, those giveaway's you enter where there are so many entries that sometimes you think: "Yeah, right, I'll never win that." But, you go ahead and enter anyway? Me too. Well, I WON!

Here it is:

Memory on Hand band.

It's a 2g which is perfect for me because I am a bit of a camera nazi and I take tons of pictures and this is good to put some on and run to my local Walgreens to print pictures out for family members. 

In the future, since I seem to be pretty lucky lately, (I thank my mother above for that) I am going to try to set up a giveaway soon! :D Hope everyone has a good day & keep entering those sweeps & giveaways!! <3 Xo

My first blog post! Eep!

I am very excited to share with you my first post. 

Not too sure how this works but, I am pretty excited to do this seeing as though everything interests me & I want to share my creations, ideas, recipes, DIY, EVERYTHING, with EVERYONE! :D

I guess I'll start with a little bit about me.

My name is Desiree & I am a full time mother to a 15 month old boy named Eli Moon! He is my world and reason for breathing. I have never seen a baby so smart, so willing to learn, and most importantly, so happy. 

Here is a picture of my little man:

Also, I have the most amazing, supportive, loving and, real man in my life, Edwin:

I like to coupon, sweep, cook, design, create, shop, and experiment with makeup. You guys will see all that and more once I get started. 

Thanks for reading & once again I am so excited to start up a blog! <3 Xo
