Chuck got me an early Mother’s Day gift. I have been eying the new Nokia Lumia 900 phone. It’s the new Windows Phone. I thought it was adorable (plus, I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for new shiny things ). When I learned that this Windows Phone had visual voicemail, I wanted needed it! That is probably the only thing I missed from my iPhone that my Windows Phone didn’t have. (And it was because AT&T didn’t allow it until this phone.)

So Chuck, being the sneaky hubby that he is, went after work and found one for me! He even got me the snazzy blue one!

Thank you honey! I love it!

I have two things on my wish list right now.

1. I would like a food sealer.

I have been planning out more meals and I buy a lot more meat and foods in bulk to freeze and use later. I think this would be a great addition to my kitchen!

2. I want a label maker.

I have seen these all over lately. Maybe it’s partly Spring being in the air and the idea of spring cleaning, but I have a huge desire to label everything!

And if you were looking for a gift for me, these aren’t necessarily the best options out there. They were just some images I found.

A friend of mine came for lunch on MLK day. She brought me a belated Christmas/Birthday gift and brought lunch. Here is the sweet gift she got me from Patina. (I LOVE this store! I wish I went there more often!)

I absolutely love the earrings! I put them on right away! Hillary told me she made sure to find something “sparkly” for me!

The week before Christmas, Chuck and I were out running some errands. I told him I really wanted a new dust buster. With Maddie eating at her high chair and having a tendency to make a mess, I knew I wanted a new one. I had a Dyson one that I haven’t used in a couple years, but the battery was shot and I would need to buy a new battery for it. Since the battery never lasted very long and wasn’t a great machine, Chuck did some research. He found that most dust busters don’t have much battery life and really aren’t very powerful. He wanted one that used his drill batteries, because they are long lasting powerful.

After some looking, he found my new dust buster! It uses the batteries he already has and it isn’t your typical dust buster! This thing is a beast!

It works great! I just love it and I know it is going to get used all the time! It also has a hose that can come out and Chuck, conveniently, has attachments that will fit the hose! So in case you were wondering…..my dust buster is more badass than your dust buster!

My fabulous husband has outdone himself yet again! He surprised me with a new laptop for Christmas! I was so surprised! I wasn’t expecting it at all. The title for this is because that is what I named my computer. I am a dork, I know.

I love my new toy and have been playing with it non-stop. Well, non-stop being when I am not playing with Maddie.

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday and got everything you wanted (and more)!

I have been a little obsessed with Thirty-One bags lately. I had a party a few months ago and ended up getting a lot of the things I wanted. I use them all the time.

I have one bag that I use for Maddie’s library books. She likes to take all the books out and look at them. When she has had enough of the books, she will take the bag and carry it around the room…usually after she has stuffed toys in it.

I think Maddie likes bags just like Mommy does!

A friend of mine introduced me to a wonderful line of products. Eos makes chapstick, lotion shaving cream…

I have a number of the lip balms. I love the little sphere shape. It is so unique.

I have found these (and other Eos products) at Target, Walmart, Walgreen’s and CVS. The stores seem to sell different things depending on what store you go to. I have given these as gifts and I have them all around the house.

Oh, and they are organic and blah blah blah….I don’t care that much about that stuff, but that may be an appealing feature for you.

Honestly, I don’t know if they are better than any other chapstick on the market. I think it goes on smoothly and I have been happy with the flavors. But mostly, I love the packaging. If you are looking for a new chapstick (or lotion or shaving cream), I would give it a try!

The other day I wrote about a purse I wanted when I was away, but I was too cheap to get it. Well, my very sneaky, very fabulous, loving husband got it for me! He sent my friends text messages to find out where we went and he had the picture I sent him to work with. It was delivered to the house today. I told him he got a package and he told me to open it. And inside was my pretty purse! He told me I deserved it. How sweet of him!

Here’s a reminder of what it looks like!

So I just needed to let everyone know that Chuck is wonderful. I am such a lucky girl!
