Nanny to Mommy

I am so excited to work with Shutterly for this giveaway. As some of you may know, my sister-in-law had her first child very early this morning! I am so excited and have been scouring Pinterest looking for the perfect gift but then I realized I don't need any other site! Shutterfly is the perfect gifting destination and their Best Gift Ever Page allows you to make meaningful personal gifts that deepen connections to family and friends.

I have had the most wonderful experience with Shutterfly. My favorite coffee mug is one that says "World's Best Mother" that I received for Mother's Day last year from SweetPea (through Hubby, of course). And I love getting desk calendars for my Hubby each year so he can proudly display pictures of our family at work. I love buying photo books to share with my family and I am definitely eyeing one of those iPhone cases!




Want to win #8? Shutterfly's Customizable 16oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug? All you have to do is enter the RaffleCopter below! The only required entry is to comment on this post letting me know your favorite item you’d like to give or receive as a gift. Giveaway open to where ever Shutterfly ships to. If you are interested in trying to win even more fun stuff from Shutterfly, @ResourcefulMom is having a Twitter Party on Monday, April 22nd! All party info can be found HERE.

Although I will receive free product from Shutterfly through Resourceful Mom Media to provide this preview and giveaway, all opinions are my own.

It’s almost time for Stamp out Hunger!

The Stamp Out Hunger food drive is a yearly event. I missed it last year, but it seems to be by far the easiest way to donate and make a difference in your community! I wanted to give y'all a head start so you can start going through your pantry and gathering up a bag (or more) to leave at your mailbox on Saturday 5/11.

It’s so easy to participate! On Saturday, May 11th, simply leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods, like canned Campbell’s soups, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal, next to your mailbox before the time of your regular mail delivery. Your letter carrier will then collect the donations and deliver them to food banks and pantries in your local community.

Stamp Out Hunger 2013 Get Your Donations Ready!Keep in mind that you need to make sure that food items are in non-breakable containers, such as boxes and cans. Campbell’s is a sponsor of this wonderful event. So be sure to add a few cans of Campbell’s soups to your Publix shopping list and you will make a difference to those in need in your neck of the woods.

There is no reason not to give because you just have to take the food as far as your mailbox!

Visit the HelpStampOutHunger.com website or their Facebook page for more information.

I found the information for this program at IHeartPublix.

The Most Important Rule
Have Fun!

Happy Hopping! :)

I had a rough week last week. Being sick and having to still focus on the day to day was challenging. Hubby is more than busy at work and with the blog, housework, and just dealing with life, my brain and body had issues keeping up.
I wanted to scream at someone (thank God more voice was gone). I felt completely overwhelmed. There isn't another word for it.
Last night I was going through pictures of my daughter, as I do from time to time, and although I felt like pulling out my hair, I couldn't help but cry of joy. I love them so much. I love that they drive me insane on a day to day basis. My life would be completely empty without them.
Although the Wordful part of this post is anything but Simplistic, these pictures are simplicity to me. Sweet, precious, innocence of a child blowing bubbles.

I updated my Featured Page. Check it out!
