I have a Shopping Problem

It's like fall and Christmas over here. 
Yes. The Christmas shopping has begun {it never ended} and it's in full force around here.

What would I ever do without my Totsy credit.  Go broke.

Show and Tell; Stuck on an Island


1. Tell us, if you could only take 5 people with you to a deserted island, who would it be, and why?

My husband: Duh. I need someone to sleep with. I mean. Cuddle. And love on. I couldn't live without this man, so if I'm stuck on a deserted island, he's coming with.
My children: They count as one person, right? I'm going to say they do :) Life without my rugrats running around, is no life to live.
My mom: Because only she would know how to cook anything and everything raw.
My dad: Because he can fix anything you put in front of him. Build anything out of sticks. And pretty much would be the "master" of the island. That, right there, made me chuckle.
My sister: Because who doesn't want teenage drama? Right? I added her in because I know she reads this and would be disappointed. And because I triple heart love her :)

2. Show us which island you'd like to be deserted at.
Whatever this island is... it looks pretty surreal.
3. Tell us, if you could only bring 3 items with you, what would those items be. And why?

This one is a hard one. I would want to take everything. But things of the most meaning to me {besides the people that are already coming} are my photo albums. Pictures mean so much to me and they bring back so many wonderful memories. That brings me to the second thing on the list, and that would be my camera. I'd like to think that one day we would get off that deserted island, and when we did, I'd still want pictures to look back on the experience. Because that was a part of our life. I'm sure it wouldn't be the prettiest of pictures, but still. Speaking of pretty, I definitely would need my makeup. Because when I feel pretty? I am more likely to survive. I know. Shoot me in the foot.

Truth.

4. Show us 3 pictures that you would take with you.

5. Tell us what you envision life would be like on that island. Do you think you would go into survival mode? Would you be like those Survivor people and eat bugs? What qualities do you possess that would help you survive. Do share.

I think when push comes to shove we would do whatever it took. Eating bugs? Starting wood fires? Building forts? I'm sure we would be on that boat. Whatever it took to survive. Do I think I have the necessary skills at this point in my life? Absolutely not. However, I haven't been put in that situation {and hope to never}, so I couln't be certain. I do know this. I am strong {physically} and could beat some donkey booty if it came down to it. I am determined, which means I would never just give up. And I love my family. Three very strong characterstics that I believe would help me get off that island. One way or another.

And there goes a post I never thought I would write.

A few testimonials


Testimonials
"I am so happy I chose to sponsor From Mrs. to Mama. First, Becky is such a wonderful person and so sweet to work with. Her blog is captivating, always interesting and inspirational. It is very important to me to sponsor blogs that I have similarities with. Therefore it was an easy decision to sponsor Becky, whom I admire as a blogger, mother and wife. The most important factor was my return on investment from the sponsorship. This was the most successful sponsorship I have participated in. My blog experienced a major increase of traffic, an average of 45 unique visitors a day directed from Becky's blog to mine. I also received many new followers and comments from bloggers, stating that they found my blog through From Mrs. to Mama. Becky also helped promote my blog through Twitter and other social media outlets. A huge plus that I haven't seen with many other sponsors. I would recommend From Mrs. to Mama to anyone who is looking to increase exposure through the blog and social media. You can't go wrong with Becky!"

""I really enjoyed sponsoring Becky & her blog. I was a little nervous at first because we had never really spoken before so I wasn't sure how she was going to be. But I don't know what I was so nervous about she is the sweetest person. She really cares about her sponsors & making sure you're getting the most out of your time with her. I really loved how she would promote certain blog posts of mine w/o me even asking. You feel taken care of when you sponsor from Mrs. to Mama. I would defiantly sponsor her again!"
-Kelly @ MessyDirtyHair

"I just wanted to say thank you for being such an amazing sponsor host, you work so hard at promoting your sponsor blogs, and I appreciate it SO much. I have met so many wonderful women who have stopped by from your blog and it's just amazing. I know I would never have seen the growth in my blog and met so many new people so fast on my own. You're fabulous"
-Email from Mallory @ From California to Kansas

"Beckys blog is the first blog I decided to sponsor. I chose Beckys blog because not only is she one of my daily reads, but I feel that I can relate to most of the posts she writes and I love that all her followers can too. I have really enjoyed sponsoring Becky and her blog, she has helped my blog grow, and quickly responds to my questions and emails. Becky makes sure her readers get to KNOW her sponsors with out being over bearing but still fun. I love that if you aren't computer savvy, she will create a button for you and she gives SO many options for sponsoring while being affordable! Thank you Becky for helping me meet so many other amazing bloggers like you, it has been so fun sponsoring you and making new friends!"

Sweet Summertime

 8.30.12
Dear Summertime,


Next time we meet this child of mine will be one year older, and we'll have yet another bundle of joy around to soak in the rays, splash in the pool, and make memories with our family.

Twice as much fun. I already can't wait.
