A trip to the small 'Old Macdonald's Farm' in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 

Enter to win a new rug from MOHAWK/Review!

It's amazing how much an area rug can change the look and feel of a room. My sons room is fairly bland it has a toddler bed, his dressers, and toy area. Needless to say it needed a little spunk. Thank God, Mohawk Rugs came to my rescue. Choosing the perfect rug was not an easy task. There were SO many nice rugs to choose from, I spent at-least an hour debating on which one would blend perfectly in Aiden's room. I can be a little 'Plain Jane' from time to time. I jumped outside the box and chose a pattern over a solid color and when it arrived I was highly impressed with my selection.

The rug was easy to care for vacuuming and shampooing it were as easy as your typically everyday procedure for standard carpet. This particular rug has been in his room for a few weeks and it adds so much color. It is soft, comfortable, and just what I imagined it to be! Aiden loves playing on his new rug and I can't imagine him not having it.

Before and After: Counter-tops and raised bed garden

This week has been a week of change. I updated the look of my counter-tops and I created a mini-garden in my backyard. It's unfortunate that my backyards so tiny/covered in trees so I had a limited amount of space to work with.

Enjoy!

Before: outdoor space waiting to be transformed into a mini-garden!

After: outdoor space converted into a mini garden 2 ft. by 8 ft. 

Before: counter-tops were an awful green shade!

 

After: counter-tops look fabulous and up to date! Marble tone!

Canvas Art: photo restorations and painted portraits! (Review)

Canvas Art turns photos into art on canvas at a price you can afford and pass down as a family heirloom. You can choose from photo's, paintings, and pop art portraits. The process starts with your favorite photos and then it's enlarged and enhanced. The photo's painted by an artist and they care about what maters most, family!

The paintings are not computer generated effects. The work is done digitally to have a more creative control and it allows the artist to work faster. You can also have an artist turn your photo into a pop art portrait with the option to preview the photo for $10.00. You really have nothing to lose.  If your debating on purchasing this is a terrific option! When I opened the package all I could say was, "Oh my God this is gorgeous!"

Canvas Art also offers photo restoration for those photos which are older or have had some damage that you wish to preserve for many more generations. They restore stained, cracked, bleached, torn or faded photos.

To guarantee your satisfaction they also offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If you decide to not keep the portrait they will either offer to REDO it or refund you. They may charge a small fee to make changes once you have approved the photo. However, you won't be charged if your not completely satisfied.

The photos shown were taken from my camera. They honestly do not justice to the actual quality. I was highly satisfied with Canvas Art and I will certainly pass the information along to my dad and step mom regarding the photo restoration for my fathers Vietnam photos!

A Sunday @ The Park! (Family Day)

Preserving memories: Photacular Product Review

One thing you need to know about me would be the fact that I have a drive or a passion for photography. I love taking photos of nature, children, family, pregnancies, and what not. Recently, I had the opportunity to review an item from Photacular.com. I was offered a $20.00 gift card to choose an item for review.

I chose to review the Contempo Photo Keepsake Box which is 2" by 2" and the photo is showcased on a tile. This sweet little box is perfect for holding a few rings or earnings. It is very small but adorable. I chose to add a photo of my two favorite men in this world my father and my son, Aiden. My father has severe COPD and Emphysema and this photo gift is something I will cherish forever.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to review this item and I'm glad this will be something I can pass down to my son when my father is no longer with us. Yes, it's a very sad topic. But I love the fact that I can preserve his memory as he is one hell of a father and grandfather (Pop-Pop).

• Dainty keepsake box customized with your own photo or artwork
  
• 2" x 2" glossy tile showcases your favorite photo
  
• Fine quality, solid wood exterior
  
• Black velvet interior lining (mine was a sand color--not sure why?)
  
• Satin mahogany finish

The Contempo Photo Keepsake Box retails for $17.95.

Mommy and baby time (Aiden's play date) 04/06/2011

Aiden's little 'girlfriend' and her mother joined us for a day at the park and a visit to the local Petco. As you can tell Aiden was a little scared at first. Check out the adorable photos and they are only a week apart in age!

I can't wait for warmer weather!
