Waves! How is it going on monday? here in my world it is cloudy and my allergies are insane! Especially my throat! I spent most of the afternoon in bed sleeping trying to make myself feel better. UGH! I am also out of kleenex until david can get home with some. Love using napkins and TP.. NOT! As far as the weekend went it was pretty chill. I busted into my "trouble" money on saturday for the simple fact we haven't been able to get out and do anything in so many weeks I thought we were going to go insane. Really all we did was go to eat and to a couple of random stores but it was nice to be able to go out and be able to get a few things. I ended up getting a Blogging for Dummies book for 6 bucks! Ha ha. Who knows, I might learn something. David also got me an oscar the grouch necklace that was on clearance at walmart! I love oscar, and then with being a trash can blogger ..well it was too perfect! I didn't end up going to my mom and dads this weekend (2nd one in a row) … [Read more...]

REVIEW:Groovebook App & Photobook
You know how I really like pictures, and I always say how I hate how people just hoard them up on Facebook/their phone/etc and they don’t seem to get printed and shared in quite the same way that pictures used to. Well, I have found a new way to fix at least one of those “issues”! I recently got the chance to review a app with a perk: a real photobook! Enter my new little friend, groovebook! Groovebook is an app for android or iphone that allows you to get a 4x6 photobook of 100 pictures a month from your phone! You can find the app in the play store or app store, depending on which device you have. The book is only $2.99 which is basically the price of shipping! I don't know anywhere else to get 100 pics printed and shipped that cheap!The app is pretty self-explanatory to use, you just have to sign up for an account, and go from there. It will ask you for credit /debit card info but that is for later on . Basically If you decide you don’t want a book for a month it is a … [Read more...]

this cat is crazy
How is it going everyone? The weekend was a little meh, but that is most of my weekends lol. Friday I ended up cleaning out our freezers/pantry and fridge... Saturday and Sunday were just sleeping/tv/what not...nothing great and exciting by any means. I don't know if that is a bad thing or not though! Sunday night was a very restless night for me...I keep having this weird feeling that something bad is going to happen/or someone I know is just really having a rough time /something of those sorts. I have been having that feeling a lot lately. I just wish I knew why...I also had very crazy dreams when I did sleep so I was very restless and yeah..it sucked .. I spent yesterday doing a few trash can university sessions and cleaning up some of the old JUNK on this site. I can't believe how much junky posts I had accumulated on here in almost 3 years. I am almost through though thankfully. I just hate to think about working on grits-reviews ugh! That site is always a hot mess.I … [Read more...]

Review: Label Daddy Labels!
A little while back I got the chance to get a review from Label Daddy! I have seen several people in my network talk about them, but hadn’t gotten around to see what the fuss was all about. I was seriously in love from the first time I visited the page! I was in shock of all of the different types and sizes of labels and even the variety of the images you could have put on your labels. I don’t know where my mind was, I guess I was thinking about labels I had when I was a little girl that were transparent and they had my name in Red or Black. I remember I had a very limited number of them, and I only could put them on special things! I was also happy to find out that Label Daddy is all made in the USA! I always get really excited when I find something that is made right here in the USA! So Label Daddy has a bazillion different options for you to choose from. I was hooked right away when I found Rapunzel labels (Tangled) because that is one of my favorite movies. … [Read more...]
