August & Head Start... Time Flies By...

Welcome to a brand new month! July wasn't super eventful... but I am looking forward to this month! Little man will be starting Head Start, our car will finally be running, & in 2 weeks I FINALLY get the okay to see my knee doctor! :)

Here's some pictures of my little guy and I today! :)

I have been doing well with my etsy shop (creativedesigncorner.etsy.com in case you guys want to check it out) & I have been having fun promoting it & it helps me make a little extra money on the side :)

Tomorrow we have a SUPER busy day! We have to go to Walmart (for Chris's socks & a new toilet seat cover), The nail place so that I can get my nails done, Lowes to hopefully find another light for the gameroom (our bedroom/living room) so that I can see better! I hate not being able to really see downstairs when I really need to. I'm hoping that they can fix the outlet with the networking so that I can put my cricut machines downstairs and actually run them.

Also we have to go all the way down to the DHEC office in Columbia just so that I can get my sons birth certificate. (NO... they did not give us one when Christopher was born). Then we are going to Head Start so that we can tour the facility and see the classrooms. They have school all year round, so there will probably be children there learning. I'm hoping that Christopher likes it and I think if he see's it he will want to go. He will be going there 5 days a week 7:30-2:30! :) I'm excited that he will be going to school and it will get him ready for when we test him in February for 4K. He wasn't able to go this year because of his age. He doesn't turn 4 until September 9th and the cut off date is September 1st.
We also will be picking up a backpack & some "school supplies" that he may need (crayons, a pencil, maybe some construction paper, paper towels, and probably glue)

Well...

This is all for now and I will try to be a little better about blog posts this month! :)

Friendship Friday-Hobbies: August: PT: Pinterest: KISS: And a new Back to School inspired quote for the month....

Hello Everyone! Today I'm linking up with Create With Joy for Friendship Friday.

• What hobbies do you enjoy participating in during your spare time?

During my spare time I enjoy scrapbooking/ card making the most. I also enjoy couponing and gaming! 

• What hobbies have you always wanted to learn?

Some people have very expensive hobbies. I would love to be able to sail one day and learn how :)

• Have you ever tried a hobby that just wasn’t your cup of tea?

I've tried tons of hobbies that just weren't my thing. Jewelry making and crocheting are a couple of those things.

  Hey Everyone! It has been a couple weeks since I have written! Sorry :/
I have been a little busy with things. So I have a lot to share I suppose! :) First off... HAPPY AUGUST!
It's hard to believe that it's already back to school season for most here in SC. In just a few days they will be starting. And in just a few years Christopher will be toting a backpack and meeting teachers and students just his age :)

I have been going to Physical Therapy 3 times a week, and Tuesday will be my last day! :( I go and see my doctor on Friday, but he has already told me that he will be discharging me because he no longer can help me past this point. My physical therapists have already written a letter to both saying I am not 100% and that therapy is no longer helping me, that I am at a stand still and my pain level has gone from a 10 to an 8. It's hard because we're not sure exactly what I will be doing yet. I also put in an application there because one of the techs will be leaving to go back to school.

Christopher finished up KIDS CLUB last Thursday :( He enjoyed it so much, learned a lot, and made some friends. His last day was a water day!!!!

I'm not sure if I mentioned this yet or not, but our car broke down. So we're looking into getting a new car. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll find out whether or not I got it :) Lets keep our fingers crossed shall we??? :)

Chris has been working 4 days a week, and I'm still trying to find myself a job. If I had a job I would not be in the position I am in right now. :(

And as you all know I have been couponing, but I have been on pinterest looking for ways to make my coupon binder nice and pretty :) (I'm crafty... it's what I do)

I also have been making my own envelopes!!!!!! Yes you heard that correctly... Making my own envelopes! I can't believe I never thought about it until now!!!! :)
How to make your own envelopes
The link above guides you to my Pinterest page, Click on the picture and it will take you to a blog entry that explains how to make your own! :)

Tuesday a dream came true for me!!! :)

My all time favorite band!

My all time favorite band was in SC Tuesday night and my best friend Debbie and her fiancee Chris took me! They won tickets, so I didn't buy those, but I did splurge and buy a T-Shirt because HELLO--- they're my favorite! :) Next time I will bring Chris with me! :)

Well this is all I have to say I guess! Below is a new quote for this month! :)

Perfect for Back To School Season! :)
