Half way done with pregnancy #3

2012-06-27T21:48:00.001-07:00

Yep, I'm half way done! :) Things are going pretty well, I'm so glad to be over those horrible headaches, and the nausea. I'm feeling pretty great these days. This pregnancy has seemed to just fly by, which is a wonderful thing. I remember being pregnant with Bowen it seemed never ending.
I had my 20 week ultrasound and everything looked normal and they way it should be at this point. We also confirmed we are having a little GIRL. We had an ultrasound at 17 weeks to determine the gender and the cord was right between her legs so the ultrasound tech said she was about 80 % sure it was a girl, but when we went in for my 20 week ultrasound the cord was out of the way and we could definitely tell it was a girl. We are pretty excited to get her here! We decided to name her Nikelle Leighanne. I love that name, and Tim does too because it has NIKE in it :) I'm so grateful to have been blessed with this baby growing inside of me. Here are a few pics of the ultrasound.

1st Dr.'s appointment - 8 weeks

2012-03-27T15:41:00.000-07:00

We had our 1st Dr.'s appointment yesterday. It seems so long since I've been pregnant, so it was kind of weird being there again. I don't like Dr. visits, but yesterday was pretty easy, where the most unpleasant thing was being weighed, especially when I learned there is a 4 lb. difference from our scale at home :(
I have been having these crazy dreams lately that there were two little babies in my belly. I told Tim about them, so then that got him excited because he wants twin girls. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I would go crazy with two little babies at once. So I was anxious to find out exactly how many little babes there were in there.
Thankfully... there is one in there. One amazing little creation. It just doesn't seem real until you see that little fluttering heartbeat. UGH.. and then you hear it and the sound just brings tears to your eyes. The heartbeat was high 169, and everything looks perfect so far! Baby is due November 3rd. Tim has asked that I hold it in until the 5th so it can be born on his birthday. I said, I will try honey. Doesn't look like we will be able to see if it is a boy or a girl until June. Here is a picture of our little cutie!

Baby # 3!!!!

2012-03-05T13:15:00.000-07:00

Ok, it's really time for me to keep this thing up to date! So hopefully being pregnant will help me do that :) Yep that's right we are expecting baby #3!!! We found out a couple of weeks ago. At first I wanted to kind of keep it on the down low for a while, just have it be Tim and I that knew, kind of our little secret. But that didn't last long. You see for some reason I have a REAL problem with keeping surprises, gifts, basically any kind of exciting news to myself. So the night we found out Tim was on the phone with his dad, we were both sitting in the office, and he turned to look at me, I had this huge smile on my face and he knew exactly what I was thinking.

Tim: You want to tell my dad don't you?? You are horrible Danielle! We just said we weren't going to tell anyone like 5 min. ago!

So it was Tim's dad and mom, then my sister Shelbey, then my mom, grandma, other brothers and sisters, select friends, visiting teachers, and then not even two weeks later posted on Facebook!! Then I got to thinking... why would I want to keep such exciting news a secret?? I've been waiting for this baby for a while. It took a while for Tim to get on board with this whole having another baby thing. So I have my 1st Dr.'s appointment at the end of the month to find out for sure when this little one will be joining our family. I'm thinking end of October or beginning of November.
The boys are so excited. Bowen is sure it's a girl. He was telling everyone at church on Sunday that it was a girl. :) We just keep telling ourselves it's a girl, nothing wrong with having a little faith right?? Either way we are just hoping for a healthy happy little baby! We couldn't be more excited!!!

Halloween 2011

2012-01-21T11:55:00.002-07:00

For Halloween Bowen and Kyler were Batman and Robin. It was pretty adorable!!! We went to Boo at the zoo, and they got to see all the animals and get lots of treats. Then we headed to Nana and Papa's for some pumpkin carving.

Jackson Hole & Yellowstone 2011

2012-01-21T10:18:00.008-07:00

I really don't know why I do this to myself. I wait forever to update this blog... On that note I'm starting with our annual trip to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole, yes way back at the end of September of last year. We all really look forward to this trip. It is so nice to be among the beauty of the mountains, trees, waterfalls, and animals of Yellowstone. We love to look for animals especially elk, moose, and bear. We had high
hopes that we would find LOTS of animals. This year we really didn't see much other than buffalo. We even went clear to Lamar Valley, the place where Tim and his dad once saw a bear take down two elk!! We parked the truck and waited a good 2 hours, looking real close with our binoculars... we did not see ANYTHING! We still had a great time. We are so

blessed to have such well behaved boys, who are so good on trips, makes the time spend together that much more enjoyable!

After we were done in Yellowstone we headed to Jackson Hole. We go every year for October conference with Tim's family. This year we rented a house instead of the usual condo, we had a lot more room for the kids to play. It's a great time for the adults to hang out and play games, and we always eat WAY too much! The kids love getting to play with their cousins. This year we went to the Jackson Hole museum, it was a good thing too. We saw more animals there than we did the entire trip. They were stuffed of course but at least the kids got to see SOME animals. :)

My Baby Boy... the Safari Explorer

2011-10-14T12:38:00.006-07:00

I am in LOVE with these pictures!!! My sister-in-law took these pictures for Kyler's 3rd birthday. She does creative sessions. She finds something the client is really interested in and creates a photo session tailored to their interests. Well my little guy is obsessed with animals. Mainly elephants, giraffes, tigers, hippos, and lions. So with that she came up with the cutest idea. We loaded up the boys' power wheel jeep, and headed for the hills. He was so good, and she was able to get some ADORABLE pics! I loved the whole idea: khaki shorts, white button up, those pulled up white socks, and that hat!! He looked so dang cute!! I"m so happy to have such a talented creative sister-in-law to get these precious moments on camera for me.

I Have a Kid in Kindergarten!

2011-08-31T09:01:00.005-07:00

Here he is! Bowen on his first day of kindergarten! I can't believe it! He is growing up so fast, makes me feel old, and makes me sad at times. I wish I could just make time freeze right now. My boys are so great. I'm so lucky to have such good kids. Don't get me wrong we definitely have our moments of craziness around here but I wouldn't change any of it. I"m excited to watch Bowen learn this year. Excited to help him with homework, help him learn to read, and just watch him enjoy kindergarten. I love that I can just walk him to school, watch him line up with all of his friends in his class. He has told me many times, "Mom, I love my teacher and I love school." That makes it a little easier for me knowing that he is having fun and doesn't miss me at all :) I hope he continues to love school, even when it starts to get tough. I love this kid so much and am so happy he is mine!

Who Are They?

2011-03-28T08:07:00.003-07:00

I posted this picture on Facebook, and my father-in-law commented, "Who Are They?" So I thought I'd let everyone know who these young, skinny, sexy people are. This is Tim and I about 10 years ago. WOW!! He was 18 and I was 16, this was during my senior picture photo shoot, he would be leaving on his mission soon, and I wanted some good pictures of us. There are more, but my mom has them, I will have to steal them next time I'm home.

I was doing some deep cleaning and came across a box of old pictures, it was fun looking through them all and remembering all the phases of my life thus far, interestingly enough most of my life has involved Tim. High school- he was my Broncadette boy, he was my prom date, he showed me how to shoot a gun, he introduced me to the gospel, baptized me, he was my missionary ♥(whom I wrote to all the time, regardless of what he says).

So many fun times!! I love this phase the most though husband and wife, mom and dad, still best friends! He is the greatest! I think I 'm going to be posting more pics from the past, a little trip down memory lane. We may not look as great as we did back then, but we love each other more now, then I think we ever thought imaginable in those days. Here is to young love!!

Angry Birds

2011-03-22T18:04:00.003-07:00

At Christmas I got a new phone, a smartphone :) I was pretty excited. One day I decided to download this game that I had heard about, you know just to see what all the fuss was about. I'm not a real big fan of video games, but can I tell you.... I am a big fan of Angry Birds! I don't know what it is about sling shotting those little birds at those buildings, trying to kill those ugly little pigs, but it intrigues me. Feeling like I have conquered some great mission as I pass each level, brings me a sense of joy. Can I tell you I'm not the only one in the family who has become fond of this little game?

Anyone else a fan??

First post of 2011... and it's almost the end of March

2011-03-18T20:00:00.000-07:00

And not to mention I haven't posted anything on this blog since October 2010... I am lame. I need to be better, seems like time is just passing me by faster and faster. So much has happened since the last post, birthdays, holidays, more soccer, 1st family vacation and plane ride for my kids, our 7th anniversary :), and the most recent event registering Bowen for kindergarten. So I will be back tracking, but dang it I'm going to get it all on here, have to!!

So I guess first on the list would be Bowen and fall soccer. Oh he had so much fun, this was his 2nd season playing. Tim decided he would coach again, and loved it again, so much so that he is getting ready for his 3rd season as coach starting up again next month. Bowen did much better than his 1st season, he scored a lot more goals, and just looked forward to Saturday afternoons, GAME DAY. It was much better for me also because it was nicer weather which meant Kyler could actually go run around and climb the huge hill at Community Park. We had a lot of fans come and watch him play and I know he really loved it when others would come and watch him. He is such a fun kid! Here are some pics of him in action courtesy of his Grandma Jerri :)

Here's to being a better blogger!!

1st Family Vacation

2011-03-18T17:50:00.010-07:00

For Christmas our gift to the boys and ourselves was a family vacation, a first for us. We decided the boys were old enough to go to Disneyland, WAHOOO!! I've been wanting to go back forever, the last time I went was on the California trip in 8th grade and that was true for Tim also. I was so excited for this trip to see the boys' little faces just light up when they saw Mickey, and Minnie, and Goofy, and all of the other characters. This was their first time on an airplane too and they did FANTASTIC!! Kyler slept, and Bowen just read some books and played with trains and looked out the window at the world below.

Our favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean, we rode it at least 4 times while we were there. They did not like The Haunted Mansion. It was so fun, Kyler was able to ride nearly all the rides with us, and they were so well behaved for the most part. We didn't experience one meltdown at Disneyland, it really must be the happiest place on earth!!

If you didn't know I am a HUGE Ellen DeGegeneres fan, and I have been wanting to go to a taping of her show for the longest time! Little did I know Tim had connections to get us tickets. One of his coworkers is cousins to Andy's wife {yes the guy who wears the short shorts, and always brings things out to Ellen}. So he kept it a secret and for Christmas I had a gift beneath the tree all wrapped in"Ellen" paper, and there were the tickets, EEEEEK!!! I was very excited to say the least! We even got VIP tickets! My man is the BEST!

Unfortunately that was the only picture I got of my Ellen experience, you weren't allowed to take cameras past a certain point. I did get my Ellen hoodie as a souvenir. The show was great!

Another great part of our vacation was getting to spend a whole weekend with my dad. After spending the week in Anaheim we drove to California City. It was so good to get to spend time with him. We just enjoyed each other's company, we ate yummy meals prepared by my dad, watched movies, laughed so hard I cried, and even watched some old home movies.

Always hard to say goodbye though :(

The last part of our trip was spent at Seal Beach. We were on our way to the airport to come home and realized we had some time to kill. So we were excited to get to take the boys to see the ocean for the first time.

Since we were on our way to the airport we were dressed like we were going back home, probably the only ones at the beach in pants. Oh well we rolled up our pants and had the boys put their feet in the ocean, BBBRRRR! It was cold! They absolutely loved it though. Bowen's favorite part was watching the surfers.

We had so much fun and look forward to many more vacations with our boys.

Halloween 2010

2011-03-18T17:35:00.004-07:00

Wow... I didn't even post anything about Halloween! We had a pretty fun Halloween, the kids actually went door to door and they did not want to stop, they had entirely too much candy, but I guess that is where mom and dad get to help out. Shelbey and her family were able to come down again and Bowen and Kyler got to go trick or treating with their cousins. Bowen was a snow leopard, or a TIGER as he called it, and Kyler was a the cutest little elephant ever! Dallas and Addie were brother and sister monkeys and were adorable!!

Family Pics 2010

2011-03-18T16:00:00.004-07:00

We had my very talented sister-in-law take our pictures last fall, and they turned out so very cute!!! The kids are getting older so it was a little easier. I love the colors I picked, and loved the shirt I bought for Tim, but of course since it wasn't a work shirt, and it didn't say NIKE, he made me take it back. Wish he would let me dress him up a bit more, oh well love him anyway :) Here are our family pics from October 2010.

First Family Trip to Yellowstone

2010-10-11T13:24:00.025-07:00

A couple of weeks ago we ventured out to Yellowstone for our first family vacation there. Tim has told me many stories of all the times he and his family went there as he was growing up. Our kids have been taught by their grandparents to LOVE elk, moose, bears, eagles, and just about any other wildlife animal, so needless to say they wereVERY excited to go. We decided to try to make all the stops Tim and his family would make during the trip. First we stopped at Big Springs and fed the fish.

Then went to Gusher's for pizza in West Yellowstone and walked around the town and stopped at all the shops, then got ice cream before returning to our hotel. The next day we set out into Yellowstone Park, our first stop was Canyon Village. They have a newly completed visitors center, with a lot of cool things to look at. Next we went to Mammoth Hot Springs, we got to see A LOT of elk just hanging out relaxing on the lawn in the middle of town.

Bowen really wanted to cross the barrier and walk right up to them, he was sad when he learned he couldn't do that. We got the kids binoculars and they were sure excited to use them, even though I guarantee they couldn't see out of them{ I could barely see out of them}.

As we were leaving Mammoth Hot Springs, a buffalo came real close to the truck and Bowen nearly jumped out of his seat, he was very excited, and a little scared. I think he thought it was going to come charging at us.

The boys loved trying to skip rocks on the lake

Had to stop and take a few pictures, so BEAUTIFUL!

Checking out what is in Yellowstone Lake (water was freezing)

We saw LOTS of buffalo, a few deer, and a few elk. We were really hoping to see a bear but didn't. We stayed in the park at Lake Lodge the 2nd night of our trip. I sure won't forget about that night, we had all gone to sleep by 11 PM, we were staying in cabins, 4 cabins to a unit. At about 11:30 there was a BANG on the door, I woke Tim up, told him to see who it was. By that time the person started to BANG on the other three doors next to ours, then back to ours. He just told me to go back to sleep and don't worry about it. Lets see... Out in the middle of a forest, with no form of protection{knife, gun... bat?} No form of communication to the outside world {cell service, landline phone to the lodge, FACEBOOK!} And some random stranger banging on our door repeatedly. Go back to sleep... sure, no problem honey, I'll get right on that!! FINALLY, he got up and went to look through the peephole to see who it was. It was just some guy in his 30s maybe, in shorts and a coat just knocking on the door. This went on for 30 MINUTES. The most terrifying 30 minutes of my life. He eventually gave up and the knocking stopped, thank goodness. We found out the next morning from the front desk in the lodge that the guy was a guest, who apparently had too much to drink and didn't know where he was. Of course it could have been much much worse, but it sure was a scary experience for us. Don't think we will be staying in cabins ever again.

After that lovely experience, we woke up and headed to Old Faithful!! Bowen calls it gooey geyser, not sure why?? It's cute though. :) They had a pretty cool kids area in the visitors center that the boys really liked.

Bowen doing some exploring at the Old Faithful visitors center

The boys loved looking at the different animal tracks

After Old Faithful, we headed to Jackson Hole. It is a Brendle tradition to stay in a condo during General Conference in October. We go looking for elk, eat, enjoy each other's company, eat, play games, listen to conference, and eat some more :) It is my favorite time of year!

Glimpse of the Tetons

We got to see our bear!

Bowen and his cousin Taylor

What good looking kids!!

We took lots of pictures with animals, this one was my favorite!

I hope the boys had a good time during their first experience with Yellowstone. I love making memories with my family, hopefully ones they will remember and want to do every year. So blessed to have these little guys as my kids. They are so much fun!

Birthday Boy!

2010-08-06T20:42:00.004-07:00

My little man turned two on the 30th of last month. TWO?!? Where did the time go? I love this little guy so much! He is so much fun and is a little copy cat these days. He loves his brother so much and follows him around like a little lost puppy and tries to do everything that he does. It's so fun to watch him grow and develop and I am amazed at how smart he is. He already is learning colors, and can count to 10 perfectly! We might have a little brainiac on our hands. We were in Boise for his birthday and we took him to Build-A-Bear. He chose to build a monkey, and dress him up as Woody. We let Bowen make a bear too, and he chose a Black Bear and dressed him up as Buzz. (I"m wondering if they will ever outgrow the Toy Story phase?) We had a little party for him at my grandma's, and he was happy to open presents and have cake and ice cream. WE LOVE YOU KYLER!!

Gpa's 70th Birthday Party

2010-08-02T12:42:00.006-07:00

So I"m still trying to get caught up on my blog, slowly but surely I"m getting it done. My grandpa's birthday was June 25th, and we wanted to something different, (we ususally just BBQ, at their house and have cake and ice cream). So we had the idea of trying out Famous Dave's. BEST IDEA EVER!!!! That place is amazing, such good food! We also ordered a cake from Sam's club, and the manager was nice enough to keep it in the back until we were through with dinner. I love my grandpa so much!! He is so special to me! He is so loving, hard working, caring, and FUN!!! He would do anything for you no matter what it was, just a great guy all around! He and my grandma lived in Las Vegas for a majority of my childhood, so we didn't get to see them very much. We were very happy that they decided to retire in Blackfoot, because now I see them at least once a week, it's great!! Here are some pictures from his special birthday dinner.

Shelb's Bday

2010-07-22T08:53:00.004-07:00

When we got home from Hawaii, I was very excited because I knew my sister would be there a couple of days later. My mom and sisters birthdays are three days apart so we decided to celebrate them together and have a girls night (Mom, Shelbey, Sarah, and I). We went to dinner and to see Sex and the City 2.

Happy Birthday Shelb!!

Hawaii 2010

2010-07-21T17:03:00.004-07:00

We went to Maui, back in May (yes it is now July, and that is how far behind I am in posting). We have been there before but loved going back. The last time we went we were with Tim's parents and we didn't get to do a lot of the things we wanted. So first on our list this time was parasailing!! I was so nervous at first ( I don't like heights). Once we were up there I didn't want to come down, it was so beautiful and relaxing. Here are the pics the guys down below took for us.Last time we went I tried snorkeling, but I didn't do great because I"m kind of afraid of the water (just breathing in it really). I was determined this time to just relax and not freak out. I'm so glad I was able to overcome my fear! We went snorkeling at Black Rock on Kaanapali Beach and we saw so many different types of fish. I was really hoping to see a turtle, but no luck. It was so much fun! We bought an underwater camera, and took a lot of pictures but we left the dang thing in the snorkel bag when we returned our snorkel gear. UGH!!Probably my favorite thing we did in Maui was just laying on the beach, but my second pick would have to be the dinner cruise we went on. Oh my goodness, good food, beautiful scenery and hanging out with my hubby, it was a good time. I was kind of worried because it started to get cloudy and I was afraid it was going to rain. It sprinkled on us for maybe 2 minutes and all of a sudden this beautiful rainbow appeared, it was so cool. We also went to the coolest magic show ever!! It's called Warren and Annabelle's. Warren was amazing!! We walked the streets of Lahaina, went to the pearl factory, ate some really great food, and Tim dragged me to see Robin Hood, and Iron Man 2 (which I surprisingly liked). We missed our kids but we had such a great time and can't wait to go back, maybe next time we will be able to take them with us.

I'm a Soccer Mom!

2010-05-02T21:14:00.007-07:00

Yep, I am a soccer mom. Can't believe Bowen is 4 and playing soccer. It amazes me how fast he has grown up on me! Tim volunteered to be a coach, and is loving it. I sure wish it would get warmer out there though. 2 out of 3 times it has rained so they didn't get to play. We have had a lot of fun watching him emerge as an athlete... or should I say just stare off into the sky, lay on the field, and point out every bird that seems to be flying by. I know he is just getting started, what should I expect? Tim has admitted that it is definitely difficult to have patience for these little kids but he really does enjoy it. Here is our little all-star:

Coach Tim teaching them how to throw the ball in

Father and son Some of Tim's family have told me that Tim use to stand just like this as a kid Our little one in action He loves to play

The one week it was nice outside so far, we had cousin Jaxon come over to play and I caught some cute pics of them:

Hope the warm weather decides to come back and stay for a while this time.

Camping Indoors

2010-02-27T09:44:00.003-07:00

I got Tim and the boys a tent for Christmas and this week we decided to put it to use. While Tim and I were putting up the tent, Bowen and Kyler were very curious and Bowen was filled with TONS of questions. "Mommy, what are you doing, why you doing that, whats that, Mommy what are you doing. " Seemed to be all in one sentence. After many failed attempts we finally got the tent put together. The boys absolutely LOVED it! They kept running in and out of it, they just thought it was the coolest thing. The plan was for all of us to sleep in it that night. Well of course not all things go to plan. Tim had homework and actually never made it in the tent. Kyler was too excited and couldn't settle down to go to sleep, so I had to put him in his crib. Bowen and I stuck it out though and slept in the tent. Well Bowen was the only one who slept the WHOLE night in the tent. At about midnight I decided it was time to go to my bed because the floor wasn't very comfy. All in all it was pretty fun, and I'm sure we will do it again.

Long Winter Days

2010-02-20T17:23:00.015-07:00

I don't know about you, but I'm just a wee bit sick of these long winter days. Seems like everyday is the same. Wake up, fix breakfast, and then what do you want to do children? Go play downstairs or watch a movie? I can tell that they are really starting to get bored when try new things. Like for instance instead of playing with cars on the floor they build a road on the entertainment center. And even though we have been indoors A LOT our family had still managed to get sick. Kyler had croup and tonsilitis, Bowen ended up with bronchitis, and then Tim got sick, but I don't know what he had, because he refused to go the Dr. Thankfully we are all better and I never got it! The one thing I do like about the kids getting sick, well Kyler at least, likes to snuggle.

My sister Sarah moved to Idaho Falls, so we have been spending more time together. It's been lots of fun she comes over on Monday nights for Bachelor, and Tuesday nights for Biggest Loser. I'm glad she is a lot closer now. I got brave and decided to try a new look and got bangs, I LOVE it!But most of all I LOVE these boys!! Even though the days get long sometimes, they are always doing things to make the day fun and enjoyable. I love being their mom and just hope I'm doing a good job.

Much Needed Update!!

2010-01-10T17:44:00.004-07:00

Wow, it's obvious that I have been slacking on keeping up on my blog. Things have been crazy busy so I will use that for an excuse. Where to start? Well Bowen turned 4 on Dec. 2nd and we had a little birthday party at home for him. I felt bad for him because he was sick, so I don't think it was much fun for him. We enjoyed watching him blow out his candles and open presents and have fun with his cousins. We had a great Christmas, and got to spend a lot of time with both sides of the family. We headed to the Brendles the day before Christmas Eve and enjoyed a big dinner with Tim's grandparents and all of the rest of the family. Then on Christmas eve we started a new tradition in Tim's family, the Brendle, Young, Brendle, McLaughlan, Brendle Bowl off! I actually don't have any idea what we are calling it, but it was fun even if I was terrible!! Bowen had a blast he loves to bowl on the Wii, so to do it in real life was real fun for him. Kyler not so much, poor guy was teething and pretty much cried the whole time. Then we headed home to have Christmas Eve at home so we could make cookies for Santa, and watch Christmas movies and just hang out. It was so nice having Tim off for 3 days in a row! Christmas morning was lots of fun. Bowen asked Santa for Buzz Lightyear and Woody, he was VERY happy to see that he had been a good boy and Santa brought what he had asked for. Santa brought Kyler a toy tractor and animals and some other toys. Then we headed back to the Brendles for cinnamon rolls and to exchange gifts. My mother-in-law made us this BEAUTIFUL blanket!! It is the mienke fabric and it is heavy and very warm! I love it! She also made blankets for everyone else in the family, if only I was as talented and crafty as her :) Later we headed to my grandmas and spent some time with them. Grandma had the idea to make blankets too. She made Tim a Detroit Lions fleece blanket, so comfy. We had a very yummy dinner and played games. Kyler is growing up so fast and really has the cutest personality! He is starting to talk, and seems to understand what we say to him. He is starting to be naughty though, so he has been introduced to time out, and like any other kid, doesn't like it one bit!!! We will keep working with him, and hopefully this naughty phase wont last long. Bowen is still loving his preschool class, and is learning all sorts of new things. So sad they are growing up so fast!

It's starting to feel like Christmas

2009-11-14T10:39:00.002-07:00

I woke up this morning and it was snowing, so I thought what better time than now, to make a Christmas playlist?? It's at the bottom of my blog, and it is SWEET!! Brings back old memories of me and my sister sharing a room, and we hung lights up in our room and listened to N SYNC, and 98 Degrees Christmas CD's. Good Times, enjoy :)

Awesome New Website

2009-11-07T19:43:00.002-07:00

My friend Shelley and a couple of her friends just launched this really helpful website. It's called howdoesshe.com and it is full of fantastic ideas for any woman. I especially liked the gift ideas for neighbors because we have been trying to think of some ideas that wont throw off our budget, but will still be cute and thoughtful :) I also love the tie for your lil guy, I've never sewed anything before in my life and have no idea how to work a sewing machine, but seeing those cute little ties makes me want to learn how ASAP!! They are also giving away 4 great prizes: A $20 Chili's gift card, a free Christmas card design from Sweet Prints Etsy Store, a $25 gift card for vinyl lettering from My Talking Walls, and the CUTEST sign for your laundry room. I want the Laundry Room sign :) So everyone check it out! You can click on the button on my blog.
