It's been too long!!

Oh my, it has been far too long since I last posted anything. So many things have happened since I last posted a personal post!! Okay, get ready to take it all in!!

Well, in case you don't remember, Joshua and I are back together.

We are expecting a little ball of joy, and we've found out that our "Little Gummy Bear" is going to be a beautiful baby GIRL!! Her name will be Aliya Jade, pronounced Ah-lee-ya.

Also, we got married!! Yepp, that's correct!! This past Saturday - 3.12.11 - was when we decided to exchange vows and rings.

Here are a couple pictures from the wedding..

The rest are on my Facebook. They are not loading all too well right now.

Surprise, surprise!!

Sadly, we no longer have internet for the time being. We're in the process of trying to get it back though. -- This is one of the reasons that I havew not been posting.
But I had to be sure and get on the blogsphere to share some exciting news.
Joshua and I are having a baby!! I'm about 6 weeks. Give or take. I haven't been to the baby doctor, only to the health clinic.
We're really excited!!
I'll announce how far along I am and everything as quickly as I find out!! :)

GourmetGiftBaskets.com Review

A while back, I offered a Review & Giveaway from Gourmet Gift Baskets. I told you about the many treats that came in the Basket that I gave to my Mommy for Mother's Day! It was packed full!!

This review of the Nutcracker Drum™ Christmas Gift Basket is nothing short of the last basket.

There were so many items filling up this adorable, yet, nicely sized drum!! Check out what all came inside:

· Red Nutcracker Cookie by Nikki's Cookies - .75 oz. - An all natural sugar cookie covered in dark chocolate, shaped like a nutcracker.
· Green Nutcracker Cookie by Nikki's Cookies - .75 oz. - Another chocolate nutcracker cookie of Nikki's boasts ingredients like Wisconsin farmer's butter.
· Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Brittle by Holly Baking Co. - 6 oz. - This amazing delicacy has a cookie taste and brittle crunch, covered with chocolate and peppermints.
· Peanut Brittle by Old Dominion Peanut Company - 10 oz. - A staple holiday treat, this Old Dominion Peanut Brittle will leave them wanting more!
· Butter Wafers by Lady Walton - 2 oz. - Light and decadent, these Butter Wafers are melt in your mouth delicious and are perfect for our holiday baskets.
· White Chocolate Amaretto Filled Wafers by Lady Walton - 2 oz. - White chocolate and amaretto give an indulgent twist on a classic favorite.
· English Toffee Caramels by Marich - 2.1 oz. - Milk chocolate surrounds toffee flavored caramel. Do we need to say more?
· Peanut Roll by Dillon's Gourmet - 3 oz. - Sweetly salty roasted peanuts and rich caramel encompass a nougat center of heaven.
· Praline Pecans by Dillon's Gourmet - 2.5 oz. - This creamy pecan delight is a Southern, old fashioned recipe and that's why you'll see it so many of our Christmas gift baskets.

That's right!! All of these items! Nothing short of delicious, without a doubt. Joshua and I have been snacking on all of these goodies for a few days now. They make great snacks to take to work with me.

We've savored eery bite, and still have quite a bit left. We don't want to rush out of the yummyness. My favorite is the Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Brittle. It's sort of like a Thin Mint, but better. [I can't believe I just admitted that!!]

GourmetGiftBaskets.com has so many different types of baskets for all sorts of occaisons.

I suggest checking out their Thanksgiving Baskets and their Christmas Baskets.. after all, the holidays are just around the corner!!

Never Enough..

Yepp, I said it. Never Enough.
Never enough TIME, that is. I miss blogging. I miss being a part of the blogsphere. It became a huge part of my life, but then life became a part of my life.
After Joshua and I decided to split up, after a year & a half of being together, I kept myself busy. VERY BUSY. Working full-time. Going to school full-time. Never giving myself the time to think about where life could take me, as I was not ready to be on my own.
Things got rough.
After a few months of complete craziness, Joshua and I have decided to give us another try. We were both able to funtion without one another, just neither of us funtioned very well.
Everything seems to be back in order. We're happy again. Maybe we just needed that last bit of freedom? Either way, we both missed each other.

I couldn't be happier to say that I'm doing well again. I'm still working part-time, and going to school full-time. I stay pretty busy throughout most days, and he does the same.
I can't say this undoubtfully, but you can expect more posts and such to come soon. He seems to be my inspiration at blogging. :)

I hope that you're all doing wonderfully and I can't wait to get all caught up.

How are you all?!?!

Yum Yum Snacks Review & Giveaway 7/29 - CLOSED

Who loves eating snacks? Believe me when I say that my hand is raised as high as it will go. I eat snacks all day long; keep them in my purse, in my car, even on a table next to my bed. The bad thing about eating snacks so frequently? The health factor. Let’s face it; snacks aren’t always the healthiest of choices, especially if you want something to taste good. Well, stress no more…YumYumSnacks.com offers a large variety of healthy snacks!

About the Company: Yum Yum Snack's mission is to provide toddlers, kids and adults with natural, organic and healthy snacks that are convenient and fun. At Yum Yum Sisters LLC, our Registered Dietitian has carefully reviewed all the ingredients of the snacks we sell, and all of our snacks have been taste-tested and approved by our Yum Yum Kids (panel of judges). As a family owned business in Wisconsin, we know how important it is for you to provide yourself and your children with nutritious and healthy snacks that can be fun to eat at home or "on the go". All snacks we carry are all natural, vegetarian and many are organic.

The box of snacks that I received was one of the Sample Snack Packs that have tons of goodies. When I say tons, I mean it; the package was filled to the tippy top! And for those of you who have kept up with my blog, you know that I love eating; so this was a nice piece of heaven for me. The snacks ranged from chips to candies all the way to apple sauce – now that’s what I call variety.

When I first received the package and opened it, I looked at the samples, but didn’t know exactly what to think. I usually don’t like “healthy” snacks; I like to taste the sugar & fattening stuff, I suppose. So, after a while of staring at the snacks, I opened a few and started tasting. It surprised me a lot, but they all tasted good, even the flavored apple sauce, which I was expecting to be horrible.

Yum Yum Snacks has so many options to choose from when purchasing healthy (and yummy) snacks:
Healthy Kids Snacks
Snack, Bars, Chips, Crackers
Fruit, Veggie & Nut Snacks
Low Fat & Low Calorie
Snacks in Bulk

They even have lotion, shampoo, and conditioner.

So, be sure to stop by Yum Yum Snacks and check out all of their delicious (and nutritious) snacks! Also, use the promotional code NOGUILT for 10% off any $35.00 purchase or more sub-total prior to shipping costs.
