I found tons of bucket list photos on Pinterest and pinned a bunch of things I want to do. It’s so fun to dream!
What are some things you’d like to experience in your lifetime?
Please, Mister Postman, look and see! #murphyUSA #cbias

Our mailman is awesome- we get a lot of packages, and he’s always happy to get out of his truck and bring them up to our door with a smile. We live on a little loop and often there are more cars than parking spots, so they are parked so close that he can’t get close to our mailbox in his truck- so he will have to get out to deliver the mail then as well. And since it is that time of the year, I thought I’d put together a little package of snacks for him as a thank you gift.
We had several errands to do one afternoon last week, to prepare for our trip to NY. In the process, we managed to put together a great little gift for the mailman while grabbing snacks at Murphy’s Express for our road trip. You can check out all of our adventures right here.
After selecting several different types of snacks, we put together a cute package for the mailman, and hung it out on the flag of our mailbox. The items we chose varied- Chips Ahoy Minis, Eclipse Gum, Snyder’s Pretzels, M&M’s, and more! I think he’ll enjoy it.
Yes, we still have pumpkins in our lawn. The boys keep moving them around- we really need to get rid of them and decorate for Christmas!
Do you buy gifts for anyone outside of friends and family?

I believe in memories

I’ve played with digi scrapping in my photo editing program, but it was so time consuming, and I didn’t have the ability to use the premade layouts and templates that are available. But recently I was introduced to a company called My Memories and their award winning digital scrapbook software. I downloaded a copy of My Memories Suite and have found it so incredibly easy to use! I love it.
They have premade pages, where you just drag and drop your photos into them- and they resize and rotate themselves to fit the templates perfectly! If you don’t like something on the page, you can easily swap out elements, backgrounds or whatever. Or, you can start from scratch if you’re feeling super creative. It’s so much fun- I made several pages using various photos just to see what I could come up with.
And then I found this template- for Christmas gift tags! How awesome is that? I think they’re great, especially if you have kids who can’t read yet so they know who gets what present on Christmas morning! There is much more potential for this software beside just scrapbook pages, and I have a copy of this software for one of you ($40 value!) and all you need to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below.
If you’re sad you didn’t win this giveaway- I have a coupon code for you! Just use code STMMMS25037 for a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store – $20 value!
Halloween Festivities

The kids (and by kids I’m totally including Aaron) made their haunted house last night. Yes, Ryan is naked, eating multiple lollipops and sitting on the kitchen table. Oops. We also decorated treat bags for them to carry Trick or Treating tonight. I bought the bags for $1 each and then got the glow in the dark fabric paints- we will see how well they glow tonight!
