It's Offical, I'm out!

I didn't make the cut, so I spent the night crying,
but all is well in the Leavitt Home.

I have decided to put my big girl pants on and start planning out my own makeover. Also, If I am lucky enough I might even be able to get Miss Mandi to give me some input since she lives like a mile from me. I sure hope so anyway. I need to get this done and I can do it. I have offically put my mind to work on it. I can't wait to show you all the changes and progress I plan to make. Stay Tuned for updated posts.

Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to vote for me. Seriously!!!

Also, Thanks to Mandi for getting my mind running and a spark under my butt.. Did I just say that.

Thanks Everyone,
Love ya

My favorite Meal Planner

I just wanted to take a minute to share a website that I have been using for a few months. I am so sold on this because you can save time and money.

1. You can be a couponer
2. You get a shopping list
3. Only buy the things you need
4. Recipes are simple and tasty
5. No hassle meal time
6. Save lots of money
7. Show the estimated cost of the weeks meals

I urge everyone I know to try this program. It has so many choices to fit any family small or large.

I love that you can take this list to the store and only buy the things you need and not spend money on unwanted purchases.

I use the Walmart plan then just adjust as needed.

Give it a try!

I begging you to take the time to vote for me. I really want this. It would be so nice to have some help to decorate my living room. If I win, I will come to your house and help you decorate too. Since you know I love to decorate so much.
You might say I don't really need it cause I can sorda decorate a little, but I have a huge dilemma when it come to my own house. I also find the space I have so difficult because it is so wide open and you can see the kitchen, dining, and living room all in one bam!!

"Yo Yo! Vintage Revivals Epic Makeover"

The Coolest Thing Ever is happening in my neck of the Woods. I am so darn excited, I think I could pee my pants except that I was fortunate enough to get that taken care of and no longer have to worry about wearing Depends! Awesome Right! Okay so on the the reason why I am doing this post okay! Stay with me here, this is going to be good.

This is an AMAZING GIVEAWAY
by Miss Mandi @ Vintage Revivals.
I love her guts...REALLY!

I love this Faux Fireplace!

Is this the coolest Living Room Ever? I love everything about it!

Get ready for my Room Reveal! I am offically admitting that I need help with my Living Area! The one thing I think that stands out about my house is that is just one huge open space. It has completely stumped me on how to decorate it. I need more seating in the room too. We are a family of 5 and so one or more persons always end up sitting on the floor.

I hope that you will all
help a Sista Out.
Vote for Jackie!

I would be in Heaven if I could have Mandi hang with me for a week. I can only imagine what she could come up with in my room. I just know it would be a true Revival. I love everything about her style. She is so talented. Please help me bring my open living space to life.
Thanks for Looking at my stuff!

I'm begging you all to
VOTE for Jackie!!

Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him..... He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. Re-post if you believe with your heart ♥

Baseball is our Life!!!

Yesterday I went to Cedar to watch the boys play baseball. It was a beautiful day with a awesome view. Parker is playing on the Fresh/Soph Team this year as the catcher. He is having a blast. As most of you know Parker loves baseball. So do I.. It was a good game, the boys are getting to know each others playing styles and bonding as a team. Its fun to watch. For those of you who have wondered if we dropped off the face of the earth, it's not so. We are probably at a baseball field somewhere watching baseball. Oh ya, in case you wanted to know Pine View won the game!!! You guys Rock!

All for the love of the Game!

Recognizing the Gifts!

Today we woke up late for church. I mentioned to Parker that we could go to a ward that had the sacrament meeting later. He said yeah I want to do that because I haven't had the sacrament. It was a tender mercy that he was aware of what he needed. He knew of the importance of the sacrament and he bore witness to me. I am so grateful for a son who is trying to do the right things. We decided since we missed our sacrament we would go to the ward right by our house. It was so spiritual. While I often think change would be great, my eyes and mind were opened while sitting in this ward. I realized how blessed I was to have a loving and caring Ward. I am happy where I am at, and wouldn't want to change it. I am blessed with many people who care about me. I hope I can do something good for them. Happy Sunday!

Mckayla and Brilee having a great time. They were celebrating McKayla's 10th Birthday. They went and got pampered at Hot Nails with Pedicures. After Hot Nails, they went to eat at Applebee's. It was a great time. They laugh so much and just enjoyed the time.
