Life: wow wow wow & an etsy coupon code...

It's been crazy. That's the best word. Crazy work, crazy home, crazy life.

1. My family came to visit over my October Break. It was so nice to have them here. They were able to see my classroom for the first time. My dad and brother got tattoos with Tim. We went to Hearst Castle. Shopped. Walked. Ate. Enjoyed each others company.



2. Timmy was reassigned to a new job in the AF. YAY! I am so excited for this time in his career. But, he left on Saturday for a 4 month training in Texas leaving me in California. Sad, but glad at the same time. We will see each other over Christmas break so I'm counting down the days.



3. I have been selling etsy stuff up a storm on the website and in person. So many people are letting me know that they want custom orders too! I am so pumped. Speaking of etsy: I am having a "thank you" discount going on until December 19, 2012. Use coupon code THANKYOU10 to get 10% off your entire purchase in my etsy shop!



4. I'm enjoying my iPhone5 SO much. So much so that I have a billion phone cases already. I'm addicted.



5. I just bought this tray from my friend, Kaylee! It is adorable and will go with all my Mackenzie-Childs. You can check out her Facebook page here.



6. I already decorated for Christmas. I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but I was in the mood after I played a few of my Christmas songs. There wasn't much to do, as you can see. :]



7. I joined the loveclub subscription boxes a few months back and I LOVE them so much! It's inexpensive and always full of cute stuff and coupons for later. Check her blog out as well.



8. ALSO, I have become addicted to instagram again. Check out my instagram page and follow me: chaholl2011



 

Ok I think that is all for now. Since Tim is gone for a while I plan on blogging A LOT more!

God Bless and have a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Life: Welcome to our family iPhone 5!

Good evening lovelies! We have been busy busy this last bit of September. Teaching 1st and 2nd grade has been fun. I love my kiddos and their cuteness. I've got some cute stuff to share that they've given me or made me, but I need to take pics and then I'll post.

Now, on to the awesomeness. Tim and I got the new iPhone 5s last Friday. IN WHITE. I've been waiting 2 YEARS for a white iPhone. It feels so good. They are the coolest and I am so excited to use it every day. When we got them, though, I was freaking out. The Apple Store didn't have ANY cases for the 5. Not a single one! I must have a case. I drop my stuff like nobodies business. I held on to that phone like it was a million bucks. We drove over to Target and TADA, there were cases. I slapped that baby on and felt so safe.

The one I chose was this Speck Blue Birds Case. It is adorable on my WHITE iPhone.



Then I got excited and went online and searched for some more cute cases and found this adorable Cuptakes Light Pink Chevron Case. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived the next Friday. The case is awesome and is my favorite so far. They have a ton of different styles that you can't get anywhere else. They also have a great app for the iPhone and iPad that I use. The calendars are always my lock screen pics.



In other news, Tim and I decided to join Weight Watchers. We haven't felt very motivated with the few diets and work out plans that we've tried. There is a local Weight Watchers office where we can go to meetings and weigh in. We start this week. The great part is that I can track everything on my phone through their app and I don't have to worry about carrying around a little book and calculator. Wish us luck. :]

Until next time!

God Bless
