**HOT** $5/$25 Walgreens Coupon
There is a HOT $5/$25 coupon right now at Walgreens!! Don't miss this one ladies, and gents!
My word it has been forever since we have seen one of these!!
These are typically good after all register rewards and coupons.
As a matter of fact, in the past 6+ months that I have been shopping at Walgreens, this is the first time since I have seen one of these! I saw them before I started shopping, but of course was not into coupons, cause I was the 'cool' mom on the block, and pshhh who needs coupons when your the cool mom right?! lol
Well, it has to be said, I am STILL the cool mom on the block, and a coupon fanatic! So I promise you can still be cool and use coupons! :0)
Enjoy!

My New Blog Button
That's right!! I have a new blog button that I totally love!! It is on my home page, and also has the text box, to where if you wanted to you would be able to 'Grab My Button' which I sincerely hope that you do!! :0)
Okay now for the story behind this headache of a button....ugh. So I finally learned how to create one, and that was the fun part obviously. And, if I haven't mentioned this before I am a TOTAL genius dumby when it comes to anything technical such as blog buttons, and other blogging things. Don't get me wrong, I know how to do a whole lot on the computer, to fix the computer etc, etc.
Anyhow, I met a really great person, who has very quickly become someone that I call my 'online friend' because she helped me when I was totally lost and clueless when it came to the HTML code for my blog button! So I emailed her and she totally fixed it for me in a matter of minutes! Not to mention, she has the coolest step by step instructions of many different things, including but not limited to blog buttons!
Anyways, I would love it if you guys checked out her site, Hip Chicks Guide to PMS, Pregnancy, and Babies!
And a personal thanks to The Hip Chick! Thanks so much for all of your help!
UPDATE: I am so VERY sorry that I had the link wrong, I have fixed it and I really hope that you take the time to check her out!! Let me know if the link is wrong again please, but I am pretty sure its right now!! :0)

The Saddest Day of My Life, January 23,2002
So, January 23rd, 2002...I went into labor with my first child, at midnight. I was young, so young, I had no clue what labor felt like. So, thinking that I was just really bloated or whatever, I foolishly get into a bathtub, which eased the pain for a while. Fast forward a couple of hours, and I am back to crying, hurting, and finally it dawns on me to wake my mother up and tell her something is DEFINITELY wrong! She rushes me to the Labor and Delivery Unit, and I immediately get checked in and checked out, only to find out, that I am fully dilated and ready to deliver, right then! I thought, surely there is some mistake, it was way too early for this. I was only 6 1/2 months along, and I was pretty certain that you needed to be wayyy further along before you welcomed a healthy baby into the world right?
Well, unfortunately I was right, you did need to be further along. Although, they didn't know if my son Dakota would come out alive or not....they weren't sure if they could save him. And they asked me one of the hardest questions THE hardest questions I will ever have to answer in my life, I hope. 'What would you like for us to do?' WHAT? 'Would you like us to try to save your son if he comes out alive and breathing? Keeping in mind, that he will almost certainly be deaf, blind, and have cerebral palsy?' Oh good Lord, what was I supposed to say?
'OF COURSE I WANT YOU TO TRY!!' It was the only logical answer I could think of, hello I am a mother! Not a monster! (This is what I was thinking back then at 16 years old)
Luckily, God made the decision for me, I had silently asked God to please guide me, and tell me what I was supposed to do, what He wanted me to do' And he decided to take Dakota Home with Him. Only 15 minutes before I delivered Dakota, his heart stopped beating.
I never in my wildest dreams nightmares, thought I would have to bury my child before I buried my Grandparents...Your child is supposed to bury you, not the other way around!
Needless to say, it was so horrible, the most horrible day of my life.
I left the hospital the next day just to go and make funeral arrangements, this was definitely not how this was supposed to work.
Anyhow, fast forward to the year 2011, as I sit here and honestly think about everything, if I had to do it over again, being older, more mature, having other children, knowing that I was indeed in labor and not to wait for the hospital, OR to NEVER get in a bath while your in labor as it only speeds up the process. Goodness sakes, what would I do?
What would I do, when the Dr asked me what I wanted to do if he was born alive?
To be quite honest, I don't know, I think about it a lot, and I still don't know. Part of me says I would say no, don't do anything, what kind of life would my child have had in that condition, and part of me says it is totally heartless to not give him a chance, even though his life wouldn't have been the best it could have been with all of the 'issues' they say he would have had... I don't know, its mind boggling, I hate thinking about the different possibilities, all of the what ifs, I just don't know!
And it kills me that I don't.
I would NEVER take ANY of my children back for the world, my angel baby or my living babies! They are ALL MY babies! And they always will be!
But it hurts that I don't know what my decision would be now that I am older, and have a better concept of what childrens' lives should be like. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with any of the above mentioned handicaps BUT all of them together?
Its just heartbreaking!
Anyways, thank you for letting me vent, I really, truly needed it right now!

Intro To Project Organization 2011 (Project 1)
So, although my home pretty much looks spotless at first sight, sadly, its not. I am SO unorganized it is really crazy! Another problem I have it getting rid of things, I just cant bring myself to do it!! I have to keep everything! lol
So in an effort to get organized, and get my home and myself organized I am doing something called 'Project 2011'. I am giving myself the entire year, since I really am just totally unorganized and at first, had no idea how to go about getting started!
But recently, I happened upon the most wonderful website called
Tip Junky!!! She has sooo many creative and totally cute worksheet that you can print off, and you can even make an 'Executive Home Binder' it is so cute! I am a sucker for girly things and worksheets, I cant find then hardly anywhere! But oh no, she has got them! I am super excited to get started just because they are so cute!
So the end of next week I will post my progress. And pictures of the before and after the specific project for the week, which by the way which will be about: 'My itty bitty Peanut has more clothes than big Bubba, middle Ladybug, and Mommy and Daddy COMBINED!!!'
Honestly, this little baby certainly does!! It is crazy, but for me, baby clothes, especially itty bitty princess peanuts baby clothes are soooo hard to let go of! They are so adorable and I just cant seem to choose which ones to get rid of and which ones to keep!
I have to stop there, or I will give away all of the details!
Check back next week!
Book Review of The Month
I reviewed a book called 'Divine Appointments' by Charlene Ann Baumbich
I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. I am an avid reader anyways, and, when I start a book and get past the first few chapter, its extremely hard for me to put it down before its finished!
So I finished this book in record time, 2 days!
Here is what I thought:
This book was excellent, Josie Brooks, is a woman fastly approaching the big 5-0...she has yet to be married, have children, or do anything but make herself a very successful career woman. She has no problems finding a job and up and leaving at a moments notice to move on to her next employment opportunity in another state across the country if need be.
Until she started the job at Diamond Mutual and becomes somewhat close to the employees there...and the bleeding heart of a boss the company has.
And then the snow globe that keeps doing weird things, hmmmm, maybe a change is in order after all.
This is definitely a must read for any strong, independent woman.
I give this book a 8 out of 10
Definitely check it out if you love to read!
A New Resolution Kinda :0)
SOOOOO, here it is, when I hit 100 Followers, I will be hosting my first Give away!!
That will leave me just enough time to figure out how to pull it off. lol
As I am so new to the blogging thing, and still have lots to learn!
Like how to change my page up, add widgets, how to host a blog give away, etc.
Yes I am sure a lot if not, all of you, knows how to do this. And, although I am pretty Computer Savvy, I just don't understand how to do these seemingly simple little tasks! lol
If you have some hints, tips, advice, PLEASE clue me in!!
Lots of Love,
Karissa

My Itty Bitty Miracle
Well, I wanted to create this post, so that you guys understood what was going on every time I go MIA lol. I have been feeling horrible about it and I think you guys deserve an explanation to why I am not consistent with my posts!! :0)
Meet Peanut, my youngest girl. And who happens to be my itty bitty miracle baby!
Peanut is the nick name she earned while spending two weeks in the NICU, this was taken right after she was born, and then I didn't get to hold her again until I took her home two weeks later, because they rushed her out of my room and up to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Turns out Peanut had two major types of Jaundice (the yellow skin disease) she had the type that turned her skin yellow, which is no biggie there are lights that cure that. BUT, she Also had one type that was rare that attacked her Liver. BIG DEAL!! lol
So on top of only being 4 LBS when she was born, she also had these jaundices!
Jaundice is horrible, it causes the baby to not want to eat, which in Peanuts case was really bad because she was so tiny to begin with.... and the other type of Jaundice she had caused her to just feel icky.
I couldn't touch, hold, or do anything with her while in the NICU, she had tubes everywhere and I big IV in her head. IT was heartbreaking to say the least! I was driving up to the hospital every two hours to feed her (breast milk is one of natures cures for Jaundice) and since she was so tiny she had to eat more often so every two hours I was driving up there no matter what!
Anyhow, Peanut got better after a couple of weeks and came home. Here is a picture taken at home after a few days to adjust.
Just to show how itty bitty she was!!
What can I say I am a diet coke momma! lol But honestly look how tiny! Right?
So anyhow, all was good and well until October came around and Peanut started having a lot of wheezing in her chest. And from October until this very day we have been fighting to find out whats wrong with her. The Dr's are baffled, she does not have RSV (A lung virus that ALOT of preemies get) we could have swore it was RSV but nope! No flu, she got tested for three different kinds of flu.... we just have no idea. They wont diagnose her with Asthma yet, even though myself and my oldest 5 yr old have asthma. So instead were just stumped! She will be seeing a pulmonologist this coming month which is a Lung Dr. so I am happy about that to say the least! We are still doing breathing treatments every 2 hours, and taking lots of medicines.
But ya know? This little girl is such a fighter! She is so strong, and I know she will pull through, but there is nothing like the feeling of hopelessness a mother gets when she nor the Dr's knows whats wrong with her baby!!
Anyhow, here is a current picture of Peanut! Oh ya and she was born on August 31st,2010.
Excuse the side ways view lol
Anyways, that's what happens when I go MIA, I am either super busy or having to take Peanut to Dr's, hospitals, specialists, its never ending!
So please forgive me if I don't post for a couple of days, I promise I have not forgotten about my wonderful readers!
And yes! I will keep you updated on Peanuts progress and what we find out at the specialist!!
Thanks for being so patient with me!
Meet Peanut, my youngest girl. And who happens to be my itty bitty miracle baby!
Turns out Peanut had two major types of Jaundice (the yellow skin disease) she had the type that turned her skin yellow, which is no biggie there are lights that cure that. BUT, she Also had one type that was rare that attacked her Liver. BIG DEAL!! lol
So on top of only being 4 LBS when she was born, she also had these jaundices!
Jaundice is horrible, it causes the baby to not want to eat, which in Peanuts case was really bad because she was so tiny to begin with.... and the other type of Jaundice she had caused her to just feel icky.
I couldn't touch, hold, or do anything with her while in the NICU, she had tubes everywhere and I big IV in her head. IT was heartbreaking to say the least! I was driving up to the hospital every two hours to feed her (breast milk is one of natures cures for Jaundice) and since she was so tiny she had to eat more often so every two hours I was driving up there no matter what!
Anyhow, Peanut got better after a couple of weeks and came home. Here is a picture taken at home after a few days to adjust.
Just to show how itty bitty she was!!
