My Very LAST order from JCPenney.com

I received a call from JC Penney the other day and was told that I had an order ready for pick up. Imagine my surprise when I figured out that it was a backordered item from way back in 2010 when JCP had the $10 off $10 code. These mugs are beautiful and very sturdy. The picture doesn't do them any justice. Best part was they were completely FREE!!

MTV Contest WIN!! -- The InStyler

I won this way back at the end of November 2010. I was so excited because my girls have been asking for one of these for the past 3 years but we just haven't been able to afford one. Plus, I was very skeptical. Really? I just couldn't plop down $100 for something that they seen on TV. So, I entered a contest to win one from MTV.com and three days later I received a phone call that I had won 1 of like 5. They emailed me an affidavit that had to be in their office in three days!! I rushed to the post office and mailed my forms and crossed my fingers that it would arrive in time. In all the paperwork they had sent me, it stated that if they did receive my forms within their time limit, they would mail out the package on December 22nd. Well, it was a no show for Christmas and just a few days ago, my daughters came to the realization that our envelope just didn't make it in time. Imagine our surprise when this package arrived via FedEx yesterday. WTG MTV!!! Thank you very much!! Better late than never. I now have 3 very happy girls. Look for a product review soon.

My Wonderful Birthday Gifts!!

My mom ROCKS!! She gave one of the best birthday gifts ever!! Thanks mom!! Awhile back before my youngest child was born, I was fortunate enough to work for Disneyland as a security guard and became a huge Mickey Mouse fan. I always loved Mickey but working there made me an even bigger fan. I loved my job at Disney. I am also a HUGE Los Angeles Dodgers fan...I mean HUGE!! So, combine the two and you have the most awesome birthday present ever!! The Dodger ornament is cool, too!! I love my mom. She's the best.

My other awesome gift, was the beautiful wooden frame that my SO gave me. He knew that my 16x20 poster picture of all my children was my favorite and deserved to be displayed in a gorgeous frame. So, for my birthday he surprised me with this cherry wood frame and hung my beloved picture above our television so that I may see ALL my beautiful children everyday. Thank you, Anthony, for giving me a gift that means so much to me. I love you very much!!


Thank you everyone for all the warm birthday wishes!! You all mean so very much to me!!
