Colorstrology

I came across this from another blog I follow (Lindsay & the Johnsons for you curious folk). I always think it's fun to read little personality blurbs and this one is based on your birthday and colors. How did you match up? Mine was 50/50; Nolan's was fairly accurate and Emery's was interesting--it'd be fun to see if she matches up to that since most of her personality is still changing.

E-Mealz

I was at a mom's conference this past weekend and was introduced to this gem of a website/idea. It's called E-Mealz and it will plan a menu for you, make your shopping list, give you the recipes for each meal, and the meal plans are based on weekly sales! The website will even look for coupons for you!
It costs $1.25 a week but to sign up you have to choose a meal plan (can be changed, I believe) and they will automatically charge you $5 a month for 3 months at a time.
You can choose between a family meal plan or a plan for 2. You can also make a plan that's diet specific: low carb, point systems, low fat, and vegetarian.
It uses sales from stores like Kroger, Aldi, Publix, Ralphs, and Wal-Mart.
We're trying it out for the next few months so I'll let you know how it goes!
If you give it a try, let me know how it works for you!
Here's their website: www.e-mealz.com

Inventive

I've been following a certain blog recently and I had to share one of her recent posts. She's a stay-at-home mom like me except she's way more creative and talented than I am. Luckily, I can glean ideas from her and then share them with you! Thank you to my sisters-in-law for turning me onto this site! I truly appreciate this woman's ideas and creativity. She has great style and is willing to share tips on how to live stylishly on a modest budget.I cannot wait to try this out with Emery's clothes! Here's a teaser:

You can switch over to Disney's site now! Don't forget to check back in for part two!

Baby Names

I've got babies on the brain. In that case, I'm going to make a short list (I love a good list) of the names swimming around my head as of right now. If any of my subsequent babies come out not having any of these names, remember I change my mind. A lot.
Boys
Finley
Archer
Rowan
Myles
Asher
Cole
Carter
Girls
Cara
Amelia
Nora
Charlotte
Everly
Avery
Tess

Two of my favorite baby names sites are Nymbler and What a Lovely Name.
Have fun and enjoy your weekend!

Sarah Jane

Right now I am exploring and LOVING this website: http://www.sarahjanestudios.com/
It's been around for a couple years now but I just stumbled across it this evening. I love her vintage designs, her links to other great illustrators/creative people, and her story. She's an average woman who had a goal and a dream and went for it. It didn't stop her from getting married or having children, those things may have postponed her dream but she got back on track and is now illustrating a children's book and doing really well on her Etsy shop. By the way, if you haven't checked out Etsy, change that. It's so great and you can spend hours looking over everyone's creativity! Happy exploring!

SparkPeople

My sister-in-law is visiting and we started talking about fitness and weight-loss. She told me about SparkPeople which is a free website dedicated to helping people track their fitness and weight-loss. You can find the website at www.sparkpeople.com and I'm looking forward to checking out all it has to offer! It helps you track your food for the day as well as makes grocery lists for you based on your own weight-loss goals. I have not had a chance to explore all the features but thought I'd pass on the information! Hope it helps!
