A Blogging Year End Review

I saw this idea on Kamie's blog. Thought that is was cute. Had to do it. Thanks girly!

Take the first sentence from the first post you made each month and string them together. Here goes nothin'...

Okay, so I am new at this "blogging" stuff. The one thing that I love about Savannah is she isn't afraid to try EVERYTHING!! We finally have a week of SUNSHINE, and warmer temperatures (in the 40's). I tried to come up with something funny to teach Savannah about what we do on April Fool's Day! Landon, Tammy, and I ventured to West Point to the reception for John and Michelle. I remember being newly married, in Hawaii, and of course being poor! If you were an animal, what would you be? Savannah has had her Wall-E shirt for a couple of weeks now. It has been years since I treated myself to a set of nails. =) What?! I can't believe it! A stop off at work. Wal Mart was taking FREE pictures with Santa.

I think that I agree with Kamie...I need to make my first sentence more interesting. I do lead a very boring life, but man this just sounds REALLY lame! =)

Sugar and Spice

and EVERYTHING nice...

my sista is prego.

She thought she was having a boy.

Paul informed her that Bulkley's only have girls.

What do you know?

She is having a GIRL,

eta end of April.

Congrats!

We will be happy to welcome in our 6th girl!! =)

lil' gifts

Are you ever at a loss as to what to do for your boss? Maybe a coworker? While blog browsing one of the my many fav's, this girl had the BEST idea. I showed one of my coworkers, and we put our own spin on the idea. She used soap, we used Germ-x. She put a cute saying in the soap, we took our pictures and copied it on to transparency paper.
You gotta look closely...I'm in the middle. This was our first attempt. We did this one with a cute saying.

We have 8 managers that will be receiving these. Since we work with mostly boys we thought it was appropriate to give them hand sanatizer. They are dirty and stinky boys! =) Oh, and the reason for the picture of us...we thought it would be funny!!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Cleaning Supplies Part II

I have tried out a ton of new products lately. Most of them have been good, and why not share!?
I had been using Tilex Fresh Shower spray for my glass shower doors. You know the stuff that you spray on daily after you shower? I wasn't super impressed, and I had heard the Scrubbing Bubbles shower spray was good. Oh boy, it was WAY better than the Tilex spray! It is recommended that you start out with clean doors, but I didn't...and they had a perfect shine. This is a must have! I also bought the Arm & Hammer Clean Shower spray, but haven't used it yet. Stay tuned. =)
I finally tried a Green Works product. Not impressed. Bummer huh!? I bought the multi surface cleaner, that is green. The scent wasn't strong enough for me, and I didn't think that it was nearly as good as my 409. I am nervous to try others, and waste more money.
I did try Clorox Clean Up on my Silestone counter tops. Like I said before I love my 409, but I like to try to see if other products will do well. This has a STRONG smell. I like it, but if you are weak I wouldn't try it. ;) It works really well, but don't accidentally lean up against the counter. I did, and now have a multi colored shirt.
I bought some of the Comet Gel...I thought that it would be more gel like. Weird. Still cleaned great, and the smell was good for me too! I was just disappointed it didn't look like it did in the commercials.
I also tried a new stainless steel wipe. I was using the Pledge wipes, but the problem I was finding with them was they don't come in a container. So, I would find them dried out. My new favorite comes in a Lysol wipe looking container, but with a black top. It is the Weiman brand. =) I can clean all three appliances with one wipe.
Have you tried the Windex that smells? I like the way it smells, but I have heard different feed back on this.
My friend said the best shower cleaner is Soft Scrub Deep Clean. After saying I've never tried it, I found it under my sink. I'll have to revisit this cleaner to see if it is as good as my friend says. =)
I have also started to have a little bit of obsession with Febreeze!
Anything new you've tried that is a must?

24 hrs

It is amazing how in 24 hours my life as I knew it was turned upside down. As quickly as it was turned upside down it can all be put right back to where it was at. BUT now I have a new perspective, a new outlook, new ideas, new loves, and motivation that wasn't there before. All in 24 hours. Really, it is amazing.

A positive pregnancy test.
Excitement.
Tears.
Holy crap, really.
Then a negative pregnancy test.
Am I or not.
More tears.
A little bit of relief.
Plans to go to Disneyland are back on.
I'm disappointed Savannah isn't going to be a sister, but oh man when she has the chance she is goin' be excellent.


I love Paul and Savannah even more if it is even possible. Paul is so supportive, and I couldn't ask for a better half than him. He thought I might need a little pick-me-up, and brought home all my comfort foods...A bag of Salt and Vinegar chips, trolli eggs, and of course some baked goods. =) How can I possibly be sad when I have the two BEST things right here in front of me?! When the time is right we will be excited, and we'll spoil baby like crazy...until then I have to get to spoilin' Savannah and Paul with my hugs and kisses!

yet another thursday

I have so much to be thankful for,

BUT this Thursday is I'm thankful for my body.

I thankful for my brain that has a hard time remembering, but is awesome at coming up with creative stuff. =)

I am thankful for my hands, because I have studly handwriting. I write left handed, and can doodle like nobodies business. Oh, and I recently was able to catch throw up in them too!

I am thankful for my cute freckles. I keep getting new one's, and I love all of them...BUT I do have favorites.

I am thankful for my legs, because even though my knees hurt like an old ladies right now...I can walk.

I am thankful for my arms. I can snuggle with my two favorite people, drive, and carry lots of stuff up the stairs.

I am thankful for my eyes. Although they aren't Savannah's baby blues, they are this deep poopy brown color that I'm in love with.

I am thankful for my nose. I can smell anything miles away.

I am thankful for my girly parts...you know which one's I'm talkin' about. They work, and have brought me lots of joy.

Most of all I am thankful I am me. With all my imperfections.
