Finally no more digging to find my clothes

- brandy3

This is kind of sad but true. For the past 3 years I have lived out of a duffle bag. We had a dresser but when we moved we decided to get rid of it since it was falling apart, and just never bought another one. Finally after digging in a duffle bag over and over, never finding anything i wanted, we bought a dresser.    We just bought one online and hubby put it together.

We bought a South Shore dresser from Kmart. I actually really like it, I just hope it will last.

 

It’s got 8 drawers and seems very sturdy.

So Lucky To Be Alive Today

- brandy3 2 Comments

Today I am try grateful, March 31, 1994 at the age of 9 I was released from the hospital.  On Feb. 19 of that year I was hit by a car and almost lost my life. I had a stroke on my right side (which affected my left side), a ripped ear, 18 fractures in my skull, broken bones in my right arm, amoung other things. I was in a coma for 2 weeks and had to have a lumbar shunt installed, which drains the fluid from my head.  My parents were told I had a 80% chance of not surviving that day.

That was probably the hardest thing I have ever gone through, because of my injuries I had to learn how to walk again, learn to talk again and sign since I had trouble talking.

Even though that was 19 years ago, I am still affected by my injuries.I still have the lumbar shunt, I still have bumps all over my head (fractures never healed right), I suffer from severe headaches, and  i still do not have full control of my left side.

So today the day I walked out of the hospital, I am very thankful for my life.

Celebrate Easter With Build A Bear and Hop

- brandy3 2 Comments

Easter is just right  around the corner and everyone will be cuddling with bunnies and chicks. It’s what Easter is all about, oh and finding eggs too.

The movie Hop came out in theaters last year and is coming to dvd March 23, 2012. Hop is about E.B Bunny who is destined to take over as the Easter bunny, but all he wants to do is rock out on the drums. He goes to Hollywood to peruse his dream.

So when you pick up your copy of Hop for a Easter basket, pick up E.B Bunny from Build A Bear Workshop for your child to cuddle up with while watching the movie.

E.B Bunny is so cute and soft, he is a great addition to any easter basket. His clothes are what really makes him look like the character from the movie without them he just doesn’t seem the same. I received E.B Bunny from Build A Bear Workshop for review and my kids just love him.

My kids have been watching the movie while cuddling with this little guy and they can’t get enough of him.

You can buy Eb Bunny from Build a Bear Workshop for $23.00 and his clothes are available for $10.50
