just another monday

UPDATE:
AS OF 1:30PM I HAVE ALL THE MOM'S I NEED FOR THE KID BOOK SWAP~

Happy Monday Friends!

This will be more of a random bullet point post...

~ if you follow me on twitter I posted this image last week

I got a lot of questions on where did I get them etc so I thought that I would share it here too.  I got them made at Paper Coterie.  They are called Memory Keepers and I have already filled both of the ones pictured above. I also ordered another one last night with wedding pictures on it, that way I can place DVD's, picture CD's, and pictures in them to cherish forever in one spot.  I found a coupon online that is VALID until November 13th, 2011.  Click here for the details and also go to Paper Coterie to check out the memory keepers.  I think that they are great quality and will last years to come. 

TIP: if you do separate transactions you can use the code more than once!

I was not asked to promote this site or the product I just wanted to share a product that I have seen first hand and love.  They would make great Christmas gifts or Baby gifts too!

~ One day last week I made Chicken and Dumplings in our crock pot and this meal was SO easy and yummy!

Rachel posted it on her blog a few weeks ago and so I thought that I would give it a try.  She found the recipe via Pinterest.  I am linking you to her post so you can see the recipe and try it out!  I added the wide egg noodles and it was so good!

She has a recipe for Sticky Buns that I want to try too!

Thanks Rachel for posting this recipe!

~ This weekend we were very productive with Crew's nursery.  We ordered the crib and chest for his room and found a distressed baby blue dresser for his room.  I can't wait to get started in his room. 

~ I can't end this post without including a few images of Grayson.

Grayson can NOW get on the toilet all by himself.  I found him on top of the seat on Friday afternoon.  I asked him how he got up there and he showed me.  I was shocked that he could get up there all by himself.
