bzz agent

I joined this site called bzzagent to get to try out different products, I am not a paid contributor, I just get the product try it and comment on it. The product I got was tru moo. Totally worth it! Jackson loved it!!!! I would by it again, and thanks to bzzagent I have .75 cent off coupons galore!!! YAY for coupons and free products!

Over a year!

Man I am slacking! I can't believe that it's been over a year since I last blogged..... Can't really help it, big changes happened soon after my last blog.

August 2012 we found out we were pregnant with #2, so exciting, well after the morning sickness and that comes along with being pregnant.

On April 27th 2013 @ 6:04 am we welcomed Hayes Walker Looney into the world, we are forever changed.

I decided to get back into blogging not because I actually think people read my blog but just as an outlet for me. Having the 2 kiddos now = a VERY busy Mommy & Daddy.

I came back to work on 7/22/13, not wanting to be here is an UNDERSTATEMENT!

I miss my kiddos like crazy, Jackson is starting pre-K 8/19, I can't believe it's that time already, Hayes will be 15 weeks this Saturday. TIME, PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!!!!

Well that's all I have for now, keep checking back, I might actually blog about something soon!

Update on 2012 changes!!!

So far this year we have paid off quite a bit! I am very proud of my husband and I for sticking to it, even when it got tough!!! We still have a way to go but I am super proud of us!!

I haven't learned to cook anymore than usual but hey there's always tomorrow! :)

I trained for the 2012 Tour De Cure but I didn't get to ride! Apparently you have a band that run from your hip to your knee, and when you go from not exercising EVER to riding you bike like a maniac.... it freezes up. So I have to do physical therapy (that I haven't started yet) to be able to ride again! I really need to make that appt... like NOW!!!

Jackson turned 3 in June! He is growing up so quickly!!! He dressed himself for the first time yesterday!!! :) :( he is needing mommy less and less...... *sadface! oh well thats what happens right! Now if I could just get him to listen to me...

In other news I joined influenster!! they send you out products to try and blog about, I just recently recieved a box that had a quaker cookie, DenTek dental flossers for myself and Jackson, Stash tea, Impress Nails, a bar of ivory soap and nectar sweetener, along with some coupons ! I will do a bigger blog on all of those products later. You should all look into it! Really a neat website!!!

So 2012 started out kinda bllaaaahhhhh but its looking up! Maybe I will have more exciting things to talk about on here next time I write... :) See ya real soon!!! :)

New year (changes)

So almost everyone I know sets a resolution for the new year, but lets all be honest how often do we "get" to those resolutions? This year I have decided to make "changes" not resolutions! 2012 is going to be a WISER year! Here is our list of changes!

2012 Changes!

1. Becoming debt free! Love the way that sounds!!!
2. Eating out less (part of becoming debt free! and lets be honest I need to learn to cook!)
3. Cooking more often
4. Getting better at crocheting

I think that I am going to end my list there! If you know me you know achieving those goals would be quite an accomplishment! Oh, but there is one that I left off....

This year I am riding in the 2012 Tour De Cure, it is to raise money for diabetes research I will be doing the ride in place of my dad, whom has done this ride the last 2 years but due to gout he is unable to this year! I am riding with my mom, so we will get some AWESOME quality time together training and my wonderful husband has committed to helping me ride during the week (he is going to ride with me during the week) to help me train! I am so excited. If you are in the donating mood please visit my page http://main.diabetes.org/goto/ anyand all donations are appreciated! Thank you!!!!angelalooney

ok so I am a slacker!

there has been so much going on in the Looney house hold that I neglected to update my blog ummm ever! so a quick run down of what is going on
1. we did the garden! things bloomed, but alas the only "crop" we had was Tomatoes! everything else just bloomed and didn't produce???
2. Jackson turned 2, Well now he is almost 2 1/2 and BUSY and OPINONATED.
3. We almost got a new dog but didn't and boy I am sure glad that we didn't!
4. I have not tried to make my own clothes detergent yet... call me lazy if you wish LOL
5. I am putting together a new wish list to post on here! I am hoping to have some more posts before the new year!
6. Brett bought me a new camera in hopes that I would start taking more pictures and stop taking Jackson to get his pictures done (he isn't a nice boy when you take him for pictures!) but 2 months after we bought it I dropped it. EEEEKKKKK well its on the way to being fixed as we speak. Do you think I'll get it back before Christmas? yeah me either!
7. before I sign off for today I have one last thing. Check out - beautiful Jewelry giveaway!http://www.sarahleeweaver.com/2011/11/giveaway-ps-i-heart-you.html#comment-form

Wow!

Time has passed so quickly I can't believe it has almost been a month since I have blogged last.

Here is what is new with us, Jackson got a swing set and it is huge! I don't really have a great picture of him playing on it but here is a picture of it in our back yard right after it was finished. It took Brett, Andrew (friend) and Chip (Brett's mom's husband) and Kevin whom was such a huge part of it all we wouldn't have gotten a thing done (cough cough) a whole day and a half to finish it! WOW, but it looks amazing and Jackson loves it!

In other news, in my ripe old age of ..... 26 I had to go get glasses! BUMMER but I think that they look super cute! Tell me what you think.


So my BIL, SIL and nephew moved to Tampa, so nice to finally have them close!!! I have been really enjoying time with them and trying to help them get settled into their new house! I just hope that we have them a lot longer than Ohio got to have them.

Jackson is talking up a storm now, we can't understand everything which is kind of funny. He knows where his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and teeth are but he won't tell you what they are. He can show you a fish, dog, and cat, but he again won't tell you what they are. He is a man of very few words. LOL So I guess that kinda gets you caught up on what is going on with us. I haven't neede to make my own batch of laundry detergent yet so I will post when I do.

With Love
