Will’s 2nd Birthday

On Sunday, Will turned 2. (I know, can you believe it!) Here are some of the shots from his birthday party!

He’s quite the big boy now

Holiday Cleanup

Lisa — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 05:01:18 +0000

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

How do you clean up after the holidays? For us, it is a tad more interesting. Madison’s birthday was yesterday (she turned 5!), so we always have the quick cleanup that needs to be done from the time we get back from visiting Wisconsin and her birthday party. I usually get about a week if we are lucky. Since we have the basement now, Bill let me keep up the Christmasy decorations, but we did pull down the Christmas tree. I need as much room as we can get, and this is pretty much the only way I was going to get it. I figure everybody will hang out downstairs for her party just like they did for Christmas Eve. The sad thing is that we are the only one on the block who still has their outdoor lights up. Now, we don’t leave them up till June or anything, but it seems that it is kinda odd that on 8th of January that everyone has packed up everything already. Now, I’ve slacked this week, and I have to get all my cleaning done tomorrow with the kids underfoot. This should be interesting. My sister is arriving tomorrow, so its not quite the end of the world if she’s the only one who sees my non-clean house.

How do you clean up? Do you have a set plan? Do you just do a little bit each day?

Return Address Labels & Superior Labels

Lisa — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:30:43 +0000

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

I just recently ordered some return address labels from Superior Labels. I have to say that I am impressed with their service and their quality of labels. There is nothing more that I hate than to have to put my return address all of my Christmas cards or birthday invitations. What I like most about Superior Labels is that you can order by the sheet or by the roll. Basically, you can order whatever your needs are. You can pick what you want on your labels also. Do you want a black and white graphic? They have those. Do you want a color graphic? They have those too. How about custom graphics? Well, you can do those also. They even have university graphics! Not sure what exactly you want? They have an entire online catalog of graphics to choose from! You can even get return address labels starting at only $1! Now, I personally ordered a roll of labels. It is a huge roll – I didn’t realize that 300 labels were that many! I am so glad that I also ordered a return label dispenser too. I am hoping that it will keep my children from using these labels as stickers! It also keeps the labels from sticking to other things they shouldn’t in my cupboard.

What I like best about Superior Labels is that they have very cheap shipping. The cheapest shipping starts at $2.95 (vs $7.95 from their leading competitor). There is also no upload fee for custom graphics (which starts at $5 elsewhere). I love that you can even order free address labels and do a test run (you just have to cover the shipping). If you want a good quality product for a great price, check out Superior Labels. You won’t be disappointed. (I know I wasn’t!)
