Not to mention staying in contact with my friends. Man, this is a lot of work. I give credit to those who have more than 2 children. What do you do when the children outnumber the parents? LOL.<br />

As if I am not busy enough, I have started a new venture with Thirty-One! Have you heard of this awesome product line? If you haven't check out my <a href="http://www.mythirtyone.com/laurahoffman">website</a>. Seriously, this stuff is adorable and you can personalize it with your name, initials, fun sayings, whatever you want! And the best part? It appeals to every generation, and literally everyone on my shopping list will be getting something from <a href="http://www.mythirtyone.com/laurahoffman">Thirty-One</a>. <br />
<br />
So, I am actively looking for hostesses to have a party. Just look at all these amazing gifts you can get for free! You can host a party and you and all of your guests can shop for those on their holiday lists in one night. And as a hostess you might even score items on your list FOR FREE!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now we aren't forgetting those that attend to your November party! For every $31 they spend they can purchase a Littles Carry-all Caddy for just $1! Seriously, just a buck? You can't purchase a candy bar for a dollar these days. And they make such cute gifts. Attending a holiday party this season and need a hostess gift? Place a mum or a bottle of wine in the caddy and voila, your gift is complete. Need a gift for your child's teacher? Pick up some office supplies and presto, a cute gift with a tote they can </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
re-use for school or at home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The possibilities with this caddy are endless!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And my Thirty-One consultant set arrived today. So I will share with you what I got and why I am so excited to share this with everyone I know!</div>

While I am not interested in building up a $10,000 stockpile, I am a thrifty shopper and came across <a href="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/">The Krazy Coupon Lady</a>. If you watch the show you might remember her from dumpster diving for Sunday circulars. Anywho, she had a great <a href="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/kclcouponbinder.pdf">download</a> to make a coupon book.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<p>This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=3373972'>Walgreens</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p> I don't know how many of you shop at Walgreens, but between their great sales and register rewards you would be foolish not to. We are regular users of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=9892&oid=3373972'>Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products</a> Wal-Sporin (comparable to Neosporin) and Wal-Phed PE (comparable to Sudafed.) These products are usually $2 or more cheaper than the national brands. They also contain the same active ingredients that the national brands contain. I always buy store brand products because why spend money when you can keep it in your pocket!</p>

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<p>This post brought to you by <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=1993482'>Pier 1</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p> Cleveland has finally decided that it's Spring! Thank goodness. That means I can begin to decorate outside including purchasing outdoor furniture. I don't know about you, but I love to walk around Pier 1 and see what new items they get in every season.</p>
<p> We won't be putting in our yard for another few weeks but I do have a front porch that needs some serious decorating. I LOVE the Outdoor Perched Bird Bench. It would be perfect with the Delux Angelique Chair Cushion. The florals and bright colors are just what we need to remind us that summer is just around the corner. </p>
<p> I am also in love with the white Jardin de Marie Outdoor Armchair and Outdoor Table. They are so fancy looking and I could imagine myself sitting in this chair drinking my coffee in the morning. And my new baby on the way and I could cuddle up in the Swingasan this summer.</p>
<p> Besides those fabulous Delux Angelique Chair Cushions they have many other new cushions that you can check out on <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=5252&oid=1993482'>Pier 1</a>'s website that would provide an easy update to your old cushions that you are dying to replace. </p>
<p> What I love about Pier 1 is that many of their items can be used inside or outside. I would love to hang the Swirls and Gems Wall Decor outside on my front porch for that extra wow before guests come into my home. Oh and the rugs. Talk about great Spring colors. You could easily put one outside near your seating area or bring it inside for that pop of color that everyone needs this time of year. I have quite a few of the metal lanterns throughout my house and I can't wait to take a few outside for those nights that the hubby and I have a glass of wine.</p>
<p> There is still one <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=5902&oid=1993482'>Pier 1 Tweetups</a> left to check out. If you are near the NYC area I suggest you try and get there! </p>
<p> Make sure to spring into your local Pier 1 and check out everything that they have to offer. I assure you, you will find something that you can add to your home!</p>

I almost made the hubby take me to the local bakery to get me a piece, then I checked out my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook and found this <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/carrot-cake/64acd01e-14ad-4e03-9fe1-b62b03ff4667">recipe</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I checked out the ingredients and I had everything in my pantry. I was pumped! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So besides the fact the we only had baby carrots and I nearly killed my fingers shredding them, oh and that I only have 1 round cake pan, it was a huge success. </div><br />

<p>This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=2206702'>Hiltons of Branson</a> for <a rel='nofollow' href='http://izea.in/ronY'>SocialSpark</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p> <span style='font-size:11px;'>We have family that lives in Kentucky and we have been trying to plan a trip together and this would be the perfect getaway.</span></p>
<p> <span style='font-size:11px;'>Scenic Branson, or as some know it, the Silver Dollar City, would be a great Spring Break destination. The <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=6882&oid=2206702'>Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel</a> would be the perfect place for our families to all link up. They have an indoor and an outdoor pool (which is great for those of us with kids), a fitness center, and a gorgeous fountain that entertains guests throughout the day with water shows!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p style='margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; '> <span style='font-size:11px;'>You can bring the whole family to Silver Dollar City! The Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel and the <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=6892&oid=2206702'>Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing</a> are offering awesome spring break packages! They include two adult tickets and two children's tickets for 2 full days of fun in the Silver Dollar City. It also includes a $25 food and beverage voucher for Level 2 Steakhouse located on the second floor of the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. This two-night, three-day package starts at $455.00 plus tax. It’s just another way Hilton is making family fun even more affordable.</span></p>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is what I cooked on Sunday:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Corn Chowder - <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/corn-chowder-recipe/index.html">recipe</a> - made this for lunches throughout the week and froze some. Super yummy!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Poached Chicken - part of this <a href="http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/rachael-ray/drop-biscuit-chicken-pot-pie-recipe/index.html">recipe</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Baked Ziti with Spinach and Chicken - <a href="http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/rachael-ray/baked-ziti-with-spinach-and-veal-recipe/index.html">recipe</a> - I used half of the poached chicken in place of the veal in this recipe. It wasn't all that great, and my sauce wasn't thick enough, but with some changes, I might make it again</div><div style="text-align: center;">Minestrone Soup - <a href="http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/rachael-ray/hearty-and-healthy-3-bean-minestrone-recipe/index.html">recipe</a> - We had this on Monday and then I froze the rest. I used the stock from my poached chicken as the base and flavored it up. The hubby thought it needed noodles, but I enjoyed it just the way it is.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I finished off my day of cooking by making Chocolate Chip Cookies - <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/ultimate-chocolate-chip-cookies/77c14e03-d8b0-4844-846d-f19304f61c57">recipe</a>. Yummy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a very long day in the kitchen, but my nights after work were easy peasy and I didn't really have to cook a thing!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you cook on one day during the weekend in preparation of the week?</div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18432471162436111211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071345171613132197.post-60325044719591008712011-03-22T08:27:00.001-04:002011-03-22T08:27:00.129-04:00My new Camera Strap!<div style="text-align: center;">YAY, my camera strap finally came on Saturday.
