How I Spent My Summer...

I definitely picked the right one little word for 2011*Action* and it has been a year of change for sure.  Since I haven't been blogging regularly I have so much that I want to share. First, I would like to share my new obsession which is freebies and coupons. I am a beginner, but I've definitely got the hang of freebies. The photo above is of as many of the freebies I could gather that I haven't used or given away. Instead of dreading the mailbox full of bills I am now excited to see what prize may be waiting for me. I guess I started about a month ago and I have received full sized products as well as samples. It started on Facebook and I am composing a post listing the best blogs for finding great freebies and coupons.

A young woman I love dearly just gave birth to her first child, a beautiful little boy. I am so excited about meeting him and I have been making a mini baby memory book for him. My boys are all grown up and I am thinking about some of the most important memories and keepsakes I wish I had all together in one book. So many memories have been flooding over me. Motherhood has been the greatest gift I have or will ever receive. I am so happy and hopeful for this beautiful little family. 

What is the greatest gift for a new mother?
