Todays mail 7.12.12

After crummy mail yesterday, today was slightly better :)

- Dairy snack cooler/Facebook from Don't forget the milk (very nice!!)
- HUGE magnet and pin/Real Parents (took the Tabacco-Free Me Pledge)

Still going strong!

It's been 3 weeks since we started potty training, and Chase is still going strong! He is still using pull-ups at night but is in big boy underwear all day long. He's also doing great at telling us when he has to do his business and just started pointing his "little friend" down all by himself! I still can't get over how adorable he looks in his undies.....




And of course a black-mail pic ;-)

Cookies!!

So today is Sugar Cookie Day!! I've been wanting to make some cookies for awhile now, and I finally made some!!! I didn't do sugar cookies, though......I made:

Such wonderful, cinnamon-iny goodness!!!

I know i've talked about Krusteaz cookies before, but I just can not get over how easy they are to make and how GREAT they taste!! Their sugar cookie mix is the best sugar cookie I have ever had and is a staple for us at Christmas time, even for goodie baskets! But I think my favortie cookie is their Chocolate Chunk cookie mix.

It is THE best tasting chocolate chunk/chip cookie ever!!! The only thing I change is I sift the cookie mix and take the chocolate chunks out. They are good, but I replace them with this:

mmmm, talk about an amazing chocolate chip cookie!!! In fact, I am now baking these since I am done with the Snickerdoodle cookies........this house smells SO yummy right now!!!

Decisions

For awhile now i've been wanting some sort of die cutting machine, mainly to do some alpha die cuts for tittles for scrapbook pages. I absolutely LOVE the Cricut, but it is way out of my price range. I had tried saving some survey money to get one, but something always came up. And to be honest, I would feel so guilty buying something like that. I was getting some alphabet die cuts (already cut) from ebay and Listia, but they are getting so hard to find anymore. I was looking into either getting the Sizzix machine or possibly the Cuttlebug. As I said, I don't really want it to cut out actual shapes, but mainly for letters for tittles for my layouts. I got a set of alphabet die cuts from someone on Listia and the font was called Wingo Zingo, and I loved them!! They were cut with a Sizzix, so i'm kind of leaning more towards getting that machine. I've seen them on craigslist and a few other sites, but I get Amazon gift cards more than anything so i'm thinking of just saving up and getting the Sizzix Machine and an alphabet die cut (probably Wingo Zingo to start). Some day i'll get my Cricut, but for now i'm thinking the Sizzix will work for me........

Anyone have a die cutting machine they love/hate?!?

It's been one week

And Chase is STILL diaper free!! He had one small accident last Wednesday, but that is it. He is waking up dry (has been for quite some time now) and going pee right away, and is now telling us during the day when he as to either pee or do #2. He is wearing a pull-up at night and regular underwear during the day, even on days we go out to the store! He is doing SO amazing.......i'm not sure when to officially say he is "potty trained" but i'm thinking we are just about there!!!
