Happy St. Patty's Day!
Since Matthew was only about 6 weeks old on his technical 1st St. Patricks day, I though this year would be great to have a real St. Patricks day with him. Corned Beef, Cabbage and potatoes. YUM! It was 64 degree out today, it felt like summer! So we got some good outside photo's today :) Enjoy your St. Pattys Day!

Wordless Wednesday- Bowling With Jacob
We went bowling over the weekend. Jacob LOVED it. My mom & brother and step father went bowling too, but they did candle pin, and we did 10 pin so we didnt get any photos of my brother and my son bowling together, but afterward we have photos from them playing wii tennis together and some photos from my brothers boy scouts derby :) he placed 28 out of 50 in the regional finals :). It was all fun!

Frugal Family Vacation...Tricks of the trade
I would love to take a family vacation sometime soon. But, I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg to get us through it. I want the lowest prices, for the best quality. Spoiled? Yes, I am. Rich? I am not.
The ways to find the best deals are by utilizing your time, and planning it early enough in advance. The absolute best resource has to be the World Wide Web, or AKA the internet. There are so many deals floating around just waiting to be found and used!
1. When planning for a family trip, it is best to plan it at least 6-8 weeks in advance. There will be all kinds of deals that you are going to want to look at, however sometimes; booking at the last minute might save you even more than booking early. When resorts, and cruises, and ECT have space to fill and it’s getting near the date, they will cut their prices just to fill the empty space.
2. However this (#1) is all based on multiple things, especially peak season versus off peak season.
3. Off peak season is the best time, usually just after the peak season. You know fall instead of summer.
4. Loyalty rewards programs are usually the best way to go if your family travels quite a bit. They will save you time, money, and hassle. Using a loyalty rewards program however does have their downfalls, like blackout dates, and very confusing restrictions, but this all is contingent on which loyalty rewards program you choose to use.
5. Child Friendly, and Age appropriate are all things we look for. We do not want to take the children to a hotel that is not child friendly. Who know’s what it is like if it’s not even child friendly.
6. Daily deal sites are great- But you must be spur of the moment with them. Usually the deal is only for 24 hours.
7. If driving, know your route and ALL the pit stops along the way-Those are important
8. Pack your own food if and when possible. On vacations food is the #1 expense that can be cut down to make it a frugal fun vacation. The amount you can save by bringing your own from the grocery store will probably pay for one more night at the hotel!
9. Don’t choose popular dates. Everyone and their uncles, aunts, and twice removed cousins will be traveling and vacationing on those days. It won’t be a pleasant or enjoyable vacation when you’re sitting in traffic wasting gas which will cost you more money, or if you’re paying more for a hotel because it’s a popular date.
10. if you decide what you’re going to do when make sure its refundable if you pay in advance, life happens, things change, and even sometimes you find a better deal.

My Children make me feel lucky everyday. They make me feel lucky that I am alive to spend this time with them. My children and my family are my world! I am so lucky to have them and to share everything with them. I wouldn’t be me without my kids.

Late Wordless Wednesday- Funny- a MUST SEE!
Matthew is NO longer allowed to have sippy cups that are not spill proof. He gave himself an "Apple Juice Shower" yesterday. This resulted in 1 Happy baby, and 2 laughing parents. Then it resulted in Matthew and Mommy taking a shower. Just see for yourself how much fun this boy had with this apple juice!
He was mad when the cup was empty. Normally I wouldn't let him do this, but he was having so much fun and he needed a tubby anyways. so I thought it was a great opportunity to get photos of him in his good mood :)

ChunkyMonkeyBumz is looking for some help to get some supplies Please Read
The bibber's I make now, use velcro as a closure. I would LOVE to be able to convert and make the bibber's have snap closures instead of the velcro. Since I have only had 1 sale on the Etsy shop and the only income coming in from the items I am making is the Bingo winners shipping, I can't put anymore $ into the CMB at this point.
So, I am looking for the Loyal ChunkyMonkeyBumz fans to help me out. I am willing to offer products at discounted rates in exchange for donations to get a KAM snaps set with Pliers.
This is the set I would like to get. It is discounted because it has minor defect in the handles ($34.95 with free priority shipping! :-) ). Which will make no difference in the useage of it. Please look at it HERE: http://www.kamsnaps.com/Pliers-for-Plastic-Snaps/Pliers-for-Plastic-Snaps-Bundle-COSMETIC-DEFECT-p150.html
For a $4.00 Donation towards this I can offer a Bibber & Keychain (Fabrics of choice)
For a $8.00 Donation I can offer 2 months of Advertising on my blog right on top above my navigation bar, 2 Bibber's of choice, and a Fabric Flower
For a $12.00 Donation I can offer 3 months of Advertising on my blog right on top above my navigation bar, 2 Bibber's of choice, and a Fabric Flower & a keychain.
For a $16.00 Donation I can offer 4 months of Advertising on my blog right on top above my navigation bar, 2 Bibber's of choice, and a Fabric Flower, & 2 matching keychains
For a $20.00 Donation I can offer 5 months of Advertising on my blog right on top above my navigation bar, 2 Bibber's of choice, and a Fabric Flower, 2 matching keychains, and a TuTu of choice :)
Please send any donation amount as a gift to my paypal at Breena589 AT hotmail DOT com
This would be greatly appreciated, and it would also help to get my business going more. I love playing bingo and having giveaway for my loyal fans, and I'm hoping my loyal fans can help me out now. Please and Thank you :)
