Love & Roses (with Linky)

These wild roses were here when we moved in, but this is the first year I’ve seen them bloom.

Looks like even guys get inspired by roses! I found this in the bathroom mirror. I’m a lucky girl! :D

I’m Winning Big!

Braddy wants me to play with him, not the computer. How can I resist that face?

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I’ve barely logged on to the computer in the past few days!  I’ve been busy, busy, busy.  The past two days were spent at my sister-in-law’s house helping with her rummage sale, watching Baby Braddy and his cousins, and rummage sale shopping (love!).

Today is kind of a catch-up day for me, and I’m fine staying in the house with the 90+ degree weather!  I have a couple of giveaways coming up for you this week, but until then, how about hearing about my most recent giveaway wins?

Drink Clean Water Anytime With Big Berkey (Review & Giveaway!)

Lots and lots of water!

Target Clearance? Really?

I like Target, and I always have.  For some reason, though, sometime in the past five years I just stopped going there.  Although I now live closer than I did when I stopped going, I still haven’t gone.  And sometimes I miss it.

Assuming I wasn’t missing much as far as clothing goes, I decided to check out their online clearance section today.  I was shocked!  They actually have some cute stuff, and the clearance prices are ridiculously cheap.  Now I remember what I once loved about Target.

If you’re not convinced, check out some of my dirt-cheap finds:
