A little red, white and blue

Happy Fourth of July!!...belated

Hope your day was filled with some Sun, Family, Fireworks, and a little red, white, and blue!
Here's my follow up from the 3rd but with a little Braves gear instead...it's a little more my color ;)

I had no internet connection while at Orange Beach, poor me...but here is the post I had planned for the 4th...

Just a little Yankee panky.


Just a little Yankee panky.
Just a little Yankee panky. by ktkd1787 featuring graphic v neck t shirtsVictoria s Secret graphic v neck t shirt, $33, Victoria s Secret lace panty, $5.99, White and Gray Zig Zag Fabric, by the Yard, $0.50, New Era gray hat, £25, Tokens & Icons New York Yankees Baseball Cuff Links, $170


I saw these ADORABLE tees in the Victoria's Secret catalog and fell in <3. However, in the catalog, they didn't have any for the Braves...which is MY TEAM. But, the Yankees do come second for me. Being that my Papa is a fan and practically my entire family is from Jersey, New York, and PA. Last week was Mr. Jeter's 38th Birthday, so why not do a post with the Yankee's gear that is on my wish list. I'm thinking a Fourth of July post will be reserved for Braves gear considering the colors are perfect!

Hope the Team Captain/six time World Champion/Shortstop Jeter had a great Birthday!

Somebody!......


A few weeks ago at the beach, my friends and I watched all of the videos on YouTube of this group, Walk Off the Earth. They are so talented and enticingly interesting to watch perform. 

You should check them out! 

I love this song by the original group, Gotye, too, btw!

Chris and Rebekah, sittin' in a tree...

hope you have a Happy Anniversary!! (it rhymes)

The traditional gift for a 3rd year anniversary is leather, so I picked out a few items one could get their significant other, mostly travel themed. (Excited about the beach in a week or two with the family, yay!)


3rd Anniversary - Leather!

I miss your face.
I miss your voice.
I miss your laugh.
I miss your nicknames and your smile.
I miss your love of Mariah Carey and Britney Spears.
I miss your hugs.
I miss your smart ass comments.
I miss your random phone calls and meals at Chef Wang.

I miss you.
Just you.
xoxo.

Music Monday

Just another manic music Monday.


This song is so relaxing and loving and it just makes me smile. 
Thought you could use a smile today too.

I first heard it on my Pandora station randomly one day.
This more acoustic version is more my style.

Btw, the artist, Ron Pope...


was raised in Marietta, GEORGIA!
and he's 28, 
and get this...
he played college baseball at Rutgers for a couple years...
that's my kinda guy!

Extreme Couponer at Heart


Some of you may know, I am a couponer and have been for almost a year. However, I don't go along with a lot of the conceptions about couponers, extreme or otherwise. 

  • I'm not a shelf clearer unless it is the very last product.
  • I rarely shop for myself. 
  • I am able to shop without coupons, but it isn't as fun ;)
  • Everything I buy is donated to a charity/non-profit of some sort.
  • All or the majority of my coupons are donated to me from church at St. Paul United Methodist.
  • I shop all over, but mostly Publix, CVS, and Rite Aid.
The picture above is the last haul that I just finished with last week. 

I donated the items to two different places this time. 

First was to Smart Lunches
2 Peter Pan Peanut Butters
2 Fruit by the Foot
2 Ziploc Bags
4Deer Park Waters

Second was to the Gainesville Food Pantry that my church helps with
4 Wise Chips
3 Betty Crocker Corn Muffin Mix
3 Barilla Pasta
8 Kraft Mac n'Cheese
3 Hamburger Helper
2 Maruchan Meals
8 Nice Gelatin
5 Del Monte Green Beans
3 2L Sun Drop Soda
1 Lysol All Purpose Cleaner
6 Suave Shampoos and Conditioners
1 Baby Body Wash
10 Toothpaste
1 Oral B Floss
5 Feminine Hygiene
2 Ban Deodorant
1 Dawn Dish Soap
4 Hand Soap
2 One Touch Glucose Monitor
1 Brainstrong Vitamin
1 Lansaprozole Medication
2 Johnson and Johnson Gauze

Total Retail for all of the items would be: $222.49
I spent $68.13 using coupons
