My Favorite R #2


The cutest Red-headed baby you will ever see.


Jeff's mom and sister both have beautiful naturally red hair (and so does my nephew Carter!). So when we found out we were having a girl, my mother-in-law said numerous times that she hopes she had red hair. I didn't mind either way, but since Jeff and I both have dark brown hair, we didn't think it would happen! We were suprised when she came out with a head full of red hair!

Brenna Nicole (or Brenna Sue, Brenna May, Bren, or, how Riley says it 'Brenma') is the sweetest baby. She is hilarious when she laughs. She gets all excited and kicks both legs, pumps both arms and snorts. Our little piggy. :-)



She thoroughly enjoys her food - especially getting a hold of it and smearing it EVERYWHERE. I don't remember Riley doing that...


Brenna, Brenna Little Star


Do you know how loved you are?


By your mom and by your dad,


When you're happy, when you're sad;


Brenna, Brenna little star,


Do you know how loved you are?


(I used to sing this to Riley, now I sing it to her too. Being a mom is the best.)

Let Me Help You Mom



The other day I was laminating the Spring Look Book to use during classes. Brenna 'helped' me organize the pages. Thanks sweet girl!

Super Savings!

If you live near a CVS, this week they have Huggies on sale for $9.99. Go to www.thegrocerygame.com and click on 'coupons'. Where it says, "Print free coupons" click on page one - there you will find a $5 coupon for Huggies! Making them $4.99 a pack! (this is just for the cuddleweave variety - but there is an additional $3 coupon on the very last page if you keep scrolling, just in case you don't use the cuddleweave!)

Wanted to quickly pass that along!

Adventures in Home Making

As of today, I am now a Stay at Home Mom and full time Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. Lots of emotions about this leap - but mostly just incredible joy.

I'm out of the boat and ready to walk.

Couponing

I've always been fascinated by people who can go into a store and buy $100 worth of groceries for $20. I found a free 'couponing' e-class and signed up right away! I've already picked up some great tips...join at this website.


Have any great money saving tips? I'd love to hear them!

My Favorite "R"'s

A while back, the ever-so-cute Micah Bruner challenged me to list my favorite things that start with an "R". I've been going over and over the list trying to think of things besides the obvious and I've come up with quite a few! So I'm going to try and list them over the next few days...

R #1












Riley Rudd - my favorite double R! He is the sweetest, funniest, smartest little boy and I'm so proud that he calls me "Mommy".
