Weekend -In Pictures

A little glimpse of the weekend (aside from doing a little shopping at craft stores)....and these pictures are sadly from my phone.

Why do i love the weekends? Because i get to spend it with my 2 most favorite people in the whole world!

Saturday we made a spur of the moment doughnut run...anyone ever tried a bacon on there doughnut?...yah me neither...

Cake doughnuts have always been my favorite....i know what i like and i stick to it!

After a week of rain blaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh - we were finall able to wear some shades... because the SUN came out and we get it ALL WEEK!!

So i definitely took advantage of the great weather and did some running! It get's pretty tiring having to sit there...

But she did miss some pretty nice views....

I love living so close to the marina......i could take pictures of the water and the boats all day long.

Of course we had to make a park stop...yes pretty lame park BUT we did just realize it's practically around the corner!

Hailey's latest obsession...puzzles...and i love it!

And to top it off we we went to the wildlife clinic  (aka part of the children's museum-which i LOVE!)

Hailey Loved playing doctor

giving the owl a shot..poor thing. 

Hope you all had a fun weekend!

Paint Chip Matching Game

Want another fun Paint Chip craft? 

Ok how about an Easy one?

This is one of my daughter's new favorite matching games and it was super easy to make as you can tell!

Chose some Paint Chip colors....yes once again a hard decision so i decided to do the rainbow colors!

Grab your hot glue gun and a pair of scissors

And last some clothespins 

I  cut of the sides of the paint chip that had words and numbers on it.

Then i cut a little piece from each of the color shades and glued them each onto a clothespin

I also mounted the color pieces onto poster board to make it a little firmer, if your really into it you could also laminate them but i wasn't feeling that ambitious.

And there you have it!

And let the fun begin!

As you can tell we're still kind of working on the whole "matching" colors thing,but it won't take long!

For Hailey I definitely know this will keep her busy for awhile!

Have Fun

Going Back To College- Campus Book Rentals Review

Hello to all my readers who are college students or are planning on going to college or know someone going to college.We all know that it's not cheap to go to college, and buying textbooks is also an expensive part of going to college.So instead of buying your books from the bookstore brand new, how about renting them? Campus Book Rentals has been one of the first companies to start renting textbooks,and was actually founded by a college student!

When you rent your books from campus book rentals you save 40-90% of bookstore prices, now that my friends is a bit of extra cash! And to someone going to college and on a limited budget,buying books can sure burn a hole in your pocket, but when your saving 40-90%  that’s Gold!

Check out the savings on one of the books i used when i was in school!

*Registration on there website is free, searching for your books is as easy as entering the ISBN,author, title or keyword into the search bar. CampusBookRentals.com also has a tracking dashboard and this tool will show you when your rental expires and which books you are currently renting.  This tool can help you manage your rentals so you send your books back to the company in time to avoid unnecessary charges. Your books will also arrive in great condition.You also get a 30 day money back guarantee for instance, if you drop a class  and no longer need the book  you can send it back for FREE!

* Do you like to highlight and take notes in your textbooks? When i was in school it was vital for me to be able to write and highlight in my books because it just helped me learn the material a lot faster. Most rental providers don't allow you to do that,but you can if you rent your books from Campus Book Rentals! (as long as the notes are relevant)

*They also have very flexible renting periods depending on when you go to college weather it's a semester, a Quarter or even the summer. 

*Something else that caught my eye about Campus Book Rentals is that they donate to Operation Smile, If your not familiar with operation smile they are medical professionals who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.They have given over 2 million patient evaluations and over 200,00  FREE surgeries for children and young adults.

If you've never checked out Operation Smile you should there are many great stories one there website!
