About a month or so ago I decided we should remove the “grown-up” theme from the kid’s bath and decorate it accordingly! We went with the monkey/jungle theme and it is just cute as a button. Lots of loud tropical colors with adorable monkeys splashed everywhere. I even found in the Target $1 section (although they were more than $1) a rug to put by the sink and some wooden handles for the cabinets. I think it rounds it out nicely. Now the dilemma…we have a ton of towels from the various stages of bathroom decor we’ve had in the past 7 years. (Yes, I like to change my decor like some people change undies. lol) But nothing that really went with this bathroom or my newly remodeled master bath for that matter.
Now mind you, I wasn’t really looking for towels but who can pass up a deal…. In walks Brylane Home’s latest catalog and a 25% off coupon code to go with the already discounted towels in the catalog. A set of 12 towels/hand/wash clothes for $19.99 in the colors I need! Kiwi and Banana!! I couldn’t resist and had to order them. I’ll post a pic of the completed bathroom once these show so you can marvel at the cuteness factor too 
Here are some other coupon codes I found if you are interested in purchasing anything home related.
25% off - BHFAVITEM
30% off - BHWEBDEAL
40% off - BHFORTY
Deferred billing until 8/08 - BHAUG
You can only use one of these coupon codes per transaction (plus deferred billing) so choose wisely. I’d go with the 40% off but that’s just me…

I received a flyer in the mail with a coupon code for 20% off that expires on May 18th. I’m not going to be able to use it so I thought I’d pass it on. Happy Shopping everyone!

…opinions. Follow this link to visit baby.com (Johnson & Johnson) for a brief survey and a chance to win $1,000 dollars. After the survey is completed you can also download coupons and read online expert guides. I just finished taking mine and it took about 5 mins. I’d say it was worth it for a shot at the cash

I was (as usual) on Craigslist today and found out that LWR has a children’s consignment store. I’m not sure if they have recently opened since the ad I saw says they are accepting clothing but you can bet I’ll be hitting that place soon. I can’t resist! I know I have more than what I need but with my friends and nieces recently joining the baby explosion currently happening in America I have to see what I can find. It’s a compulsion I guess.
For those of you living in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Lakewood Ranch area here’s the address! Chloe’s Consignment Boutique, 1731 Lakewood Ranch Blvd, Bradenton, FL.
Be sure to let me know what you think!!!

We had an enjoyable Mother’s Day at Nokomis beach yesterday and were even lucky enough to find a grill & picnic table! There were some sun burns and it was hot as blazes but we all had fun.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mommies out there!

And it was a smashing success other than being hotter than blazes out. Unfortunately our a/c had to be turned off because it couldn’t keep up with the constant opening and closing of the sliders 
We didn’t have as large of a turn out as the RSVP list indicated so there was a ton of food left over. It’s so hard to prepare food for these things since you never can tell if everyone will show that says they will, etc.
We received many gifts of clothing and several gift cards. Thank you everyone for the wonderful presents for the baby!

Nick’s nephew and his girlfriend are expecting and are due in October. We just found out they are having a boy! No small feat for this family I tell you (tongue in cheek here people) since out of the grandkids there are only 4 girls out of 16 grandkids. LOL.
Mama and baby are both doing well. Congrats guys!

Well most of the work around the house has been accomplished and thankfully Nick is very forgiving when it comes to my nesting Our new front door inserts (the ones with the blinds inside!) are installed and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. No more broken blinds because Anthony couldn’t resist playing with them and I don’t have to worry about him yanking them down either! The pool deck has been painted and sealed, the planters have been shored up with a new concrete wall, the back porch has been painted and my master bath is has a fresh coat of paint and resurfaced cabinets. Whoo-ee!
All conveniently in time for the baby party this Sunday As for the party itself, I still need to clean off the tables and chairs on the back porch but that’ll be done Sunday since the cats can’t resist a clean surface. Most of the food was made in advance and frozen so it’ll just have to come out and be heated up. I can’t wait to see everyone and enjoy a good time. Cross your fingers that it doesn’t rain!
