Living out loud in the Carolinas

Month: March 2011

  • I wanted to give out good prizes at Shannon G’s baby shower while staying on a budget.  Most baby shower planning sites said just go to the Dollar Store and grab some things and throw them in a bag.  I don’t want stuff from the Dollar Store (unless I need something specific) so why would…

  • For Shannon G’s shower I wanted to find some fun shower games.  She was not into the whole “let’s measure the Mommy’s belly” thing or the melted candy bars in diaper game (thank goodness- that just seems gross to me!).  So I looked around online and found the Don’t Say Baby Game.  As guests arrived…

  • While planning Shannon G’s mustache themed baby shower I had to decide on a traditional cake or go with cupcakes.  Her favorite flavor of cake is almond (like me), so I knew I could pull that off.  But making a cake that would reflect both the mustache and baby girl theme was proving daunting.  Plus,…

  • As soon as Shannon G told me she was pregnant I started mentally planning her baby shower.  I knew instantly I wanted it to be Mustache themed as she’s married to Senor Mustachio.  I started looking for invitations and party goods right away.  You’d be surprised at how slim the pickings are when you’re looking…

  • I have had a Google Voice Phone Number for a good while now, almost 2 years I think.  I love it.  We’ve used it a lot and it totally saved us when my Blackberry died in Vegas.  I was able to get on a hotel computer and text CSP’s dad using my Google voice number.…

  • If you are a Starbucks fan you need to download the Starbucks mobile app.  It makes it so easy to reload your card and now you can even pay with your phone!  The other day CSP & I were in the drive thru at our local Starbucks.  Before we left the house I reloaded my…

  • Catalogs are starting to appear in my mail box selling gorgeous outdoor furniture collections.  Pricey, upholstered furniture.  I don’t understand this.  I don’t know where you have to live to be able to use this furniture.  Where I live, in North Carolina, we have things like : rain, pollen, dirt, bugs, and the fading powers…

  • Alone by Lisa Gardner That’s it.  We’re almost finished with the first quarter of 2011 and I’ve read one book.  Pitiful!  It was a good book but it wasn’t even in book form.  It was via the Kindle app on my iPhone.   I blame it on how busy I’ve been and the absurd amount…

  • Cause I’m on a roll!  Ha!  I have one more prize to tell you about.   There was a contest on Facebook to win a 4 piece skin care set and I won!  It’s from Budhi which is technically a teen skin care line but hey, I’m about 15 on the inside so that counts…
