Where oh where has Beckee's consistant posting gone?!

Oh friends...I hate to be an inconsistent blogger, but I know I have lately...I apologize profusely. I also hate excuses, but that being said, let me just tell you what I have been up to and apologize in advance for the fact that it may take a while for me to get totally back on the blogging wagon more consistently.

AS you know if you are a long time reader, I am a mom of 4, expecting our 5th, and I am due on April 5th. In case anyone is keeping close track, that means I am due 5 weeks from today. For the past 2 weeks I have been having labor pains, but nothing that is knocking me in to real labor. And let's be honest, we have all heard the stories of the women that walk around essentially laboring for weeks and we hope that will not be us...well, this time, it is me. So, to say the least, I have been quite uncomfortable not to mention HUGE...check out the pic below:

See, I am huge-and that was taken last week...I have grown...Anyway, I went in to the doctor today and apparently (for those that know the preggo language), I am dilated to a 3+ and 50% effaced, so I am moving slowly toward an early (hopefully) delivery.

On top of the baby coming and trying to get the house and everything ready, I am PTO co-President and I am trying to help with as much as I can before baby comes...I am failing miserably and my co-President and the rest of the board are doing pretty much everything!

Also this week has been the time for me to do my Taxes and pay my monthly bills...Phew!

Between all that and the fact that I cannot use the computer when my husband is working from or studying from home (which is fairly often lately), I have been a bad blogger...I am sorry and I am trying to repent! I am also trying to figure out how to blog from my smart phone better so I can use that on the go...

You can look forward to some great deals, freebies, giveaways and reviews coming your way though!! In fact, my kids cannot wait to review this awesome item we just got in the mail:

That review is coming soon!!

A couple of GREAT wins this week...

I know it is not WINSday, but I won a couple of things this week, that I was SOOOO excited about that I had to tell you about them!!

First, I won a Posh Lily $25 Gift Card from Because Cheaper is Better. Oh my gosh-have any of you checked out Posh Lily?! There are SUPER cute little girl items there and I am a sucker for those cute homemade items!

Want to know what I chose to spend my $25 on?! I chose the Olivia Combo, the Beautiful and Elegant Sky Blue Rhinestone Flower Hair Tie and the Gorgeous and FUN Butterfly Clippie. See the Olivia collection below:

Another giveaway I won this morning made me totally freak out (in a good way)! WHen I entered it last night I said to my husband, "Well, I promise I will not win this one because I really, REALLY want it!" Imagine my excitement this morning when I checked my email to find I HAD won the Tillen Farms VIP Sampler from Learning to be Thrifty.

Can I say that when we lived in Spokane, Washington I fell madly in love with all the family farms and fresh foods! I so miss and adore going and grabbing fresh yummy produce so easily there! Not that we cannot get fresh foods here in Omaha, but there are just not that many farms that sell their foods directly (and really what I get to buy here is corn and pumpkins...)

Anyway, Tillen Farms "works closely with select farmers in Washington State’s agriculturally rich Yakima Valley where the unique climate produces world class fruits and veggies". They clean, trim, steam and rapidyl chill the produce then can them and send them out to us! I am seriously SOOO excited to get this.

Check out the VIP Sampler I will be getting:

Now is your mouth watering as much as mine?!

BTW...I am now up to 27 wins since 1/16/11. 

I am sure this week will be a low week though because I have not entered any new giveaways today and I will not be on the computer again today (well probably not as my husband is on call and will likely need exclusive access to the computer when he returns from the hospital).
