Redecorating

One of the first things that we plan on doing when I graduate is of course, I will get a job and we are going to pay our house off early. We are then going to redecorate and make our house one really cool and inviting place to be. We are really going to update it with really nice stuff like tile throughout, crown molding, Kichler lighting, we are thinking about knocking out the walls that separate the bathrooms and make it one nice big one. I have so many things that I want to do to our cute little house to make it more of a home!

Kid are asleep?

Oh my goodness! The kids are all asleep before their dad got home tonight! I can not believe that! I guess it was all of the fighting over Christmas presents that wore them out. Apparently everyone thinks that the other one's presents are better than theirs but won't let the other ones play with theirs. They want their toys and the other kids toys:/ So I am one sleepy momma! Next year, I think I will just get 3 of everything lol

Phones

I have a little prepaid phone right now, just because that is all that I need. But when I actually get out of my nursing class and I am away from home more, I would really love to get a new iphone. Most of my friends have them and they love them. I would like to get one because they also have really cool aps for nursing too, which is another reason that I would like one. Being a new nurse, I am sure I will have some questions, and it will probably help me not have to ask so many questions.

Christmas!

Well Christmas has come and gone and we had a pretty good one:) The only 3 glitches are that my son's DS Lite did not make it here in time for the big day, his RC helicopter did not make it out of the package in one piece and had to be taken back this morning for refund, but no more were in stock so had to settle for a gift card instead and my stove that just got fixed malfunctioned in the middle of Christmas dinner lol. But we all got to spend it together and we are all healthy and got cool things. Couldn't really ask for anything more!

Personal

I think that one of the best things for children for gifts are persnonalized gifts. They all love to see their names on things. It makes them feel really big and grown up. I must also admit that I love to see my name on things as well. I think that it also shows that the gift was not just something bought to say that you bought something you know? it is special and just for that one person.

Almost Christmas

Well, I almost have all of my Christmas shopping taken care of! I bought quite a few things at Family Dollar for the kids earlier this month and their uncle that is in the Navy decided to donate some money to the cause and send some money for the kids' Christmas as well:) I found a great seller on eBay that is selling DS lites for cheap and has excellent ratings as well. I already bought one of them, and will buy a second one in a bit for my 4 year old as I know he will want one just like his brother. I guess my 2 year old can have one of the old Game Boy Advances that is just sitting around collecting dust:) I am going to make sure to use my Bigcrumbs account to try to save some cash as well. If you haven't checked them out yet, you really should. It is a great way to earn money back shopping lots of places that you already shop. You can check them out from this link. Happy shopping!

Love to travel

I can not wait until I am done with my nursing classes and I am able to travel as well as have the money to do so. I want to get a camper to go around at least the state in with my kids and my hubby. I know that it can get expensive with the maintenance and rv repairs as well as added insurance and gas costs, but it sure seems worth it to me! I can't stand staying in hotels where you do not know who slept in your bed last or if you are going to be bringing bed bugs home to all of your nice new furniture or your kids waking up with bedbug bites on a trip...yuck. It is so worth it!
