Lil Miss Finds: Party Favors

When a lot of people have different kinds of parties and showers, they probably don’t care much about shower favors and stuff, but I do. When I go to baby showers, wedding showers and birthday parties especially, I love to have a keepsake to take home with me. I still have a lot of the baby shower favors and birthday party favors that I’ve gotten from friends and family members.

I think it’s nice to look back on the party favors a few years later and think about what a special time it was. I couldn’t imagine having a special event and not giving out party favors. One of my favorite places to find party favors is OrientalTrading.com. If you guys haven’t checked them out yet, you should. They have so many different party favors with tons of different themes. I love that site!

Canadian Living!!

I’ve been waiting for the right time to move from my current home, and I’m really hoping next year will be perfect. Of all the places I’ve considered moving, Canada has consistently come up. I would love to leave the U.S. and move to Canada, to be honest. And after seeing some of the house rentals in Calgary, Alberta, I’m sold! I was browsing the RentCalgary website because looking at house rentals is a weird fixation of mine, and I saw so many places I would love to live in!

One rental I saw had three bedrooms, heated garage and hot tub! I would love to live there! That would be so awesome. And you get so much more for their prices than ours. That has been the biggest factor keeping me from moving locally. I want to live in a great house in a quiet community. It would also be great if the rent is affordable and there are places to shop nearby. I wonder if I know anyone who is from Canada. I mean besides Justin Bieber, of course! :) I need to find out more about Canadian living!

Changes Needed

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to moving to another state. I’ve been living in the state that I live in now all of my life and I’m ready for a new change. Realistically, I really can only afford to move a few states over.  I would love to move far away, but that’s not an option right now for many reasons. I’d be completely content with only moving a state or two over because anything is better than living here. I’m ready for change!

There are so many things that I want to change about my life as I get older. I was just looking at www.wholesaleinsurance.net and it made me realize two things I need to change. First, I need to get some life insurance. Second, I need to lose some weight. I felt kind of embarrassed typing my weight in the box to get the insurance estimates and quotes. I have seriously been in denial.

Have Another Scoop

I am so exhausted right now. I was entertaining my family all day today and they took so much out of me. Luckily, they have all gone home for the night. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family a lot and most of the time I really enjoy their company, but sometimes they can be really overwhelming because it’s so many of them. They are a huge strain on our patience and our pockets.

Speaking of them being a strain on our pockets. They can go through ice and beverages like there is no tomorrow!! My aunt always gets this huge 32 ounce cup and fills it full with ice. She does that at least twice when she’s here. She might as well get one of those big ice scoops that they use for scooping up ice in bars and stuff! I never thought I’d need bar supplies in my home, but that thing would definitely come in handy for those ice eaters.
