Web Site of the Week #9: Happy News
I discovered happynews.com about a year ago after a Google search. It’s exactly what it sounds like- a Web site devoted to positive, upbeat, and often inspirational news.

Web Site of the Week #8: DownEast Basics
Downeastbasics.com is my very favorite online clothing store. 
Why do I love it? All of their clothes are cute, modest, and affordable. And it can be find clothes like that when you live outside of Utah. They offer basic layer tees as well as shirts, skirts and dresses that are all updated frequently. I love that their clothes are modern and fun without being revealing or pricey. If you’d like to add a few fun pieces to your wardrobe without taking a bite out of your wallet, you’ll love this site.

Web Site of the Week #7: Slickdeals
Slickdeals.net is the other deal Web site (along with dealnews.com)
that I check daily. It’s different from Deal News because only a few deals are posted on the main page daily (as opposed to 100+), and they are typically all jaw dropping deals. If you’re looking for a few killer deals a day, this Web site is the way to go.

Results of the Big Ultrasound!
I had an ultrasound Thursday and our baby's gender is no longer a mystery!
So what do you think?
Scroll down to find out...
We were so excited to find out that so far, everything looks good.
And we were so excited to find out that we're having a boy!
So far we know that he likes dancing on my bladder, has a cute little button nose and loves Girl Scout Thin Mints (or maybe that's just me).
We love this little guy, all 12 ounces of him.

Web Site of the Week #6: Posie Gets Cozy
I love Posie Gets Cozy simply because it makes my smile. 
It’s a blog about the absolutely adorable life of Alicia Paulson, who lives in Portland with her hubby Andy and cute dog Clover. She is very crafty, and loves to share her sewing, crocheting, and other creative projects. Her ideas inspire me, and I love the images she shares of her cute home and town. She is clearly a happy person, and her blog is always upbeat and adorable.

Web Site of the Week #5: All Recipes
I’ve been visiting allrecipes.com for years, and I seriously don’t know what I’d do without it. This Web site features recipes that anyone can submit.
The best part is that anyone can then review the recipes. This makes it easy to select recipes, because you can weed out the recipes with less than stellar reviews, and then alter the recipes you choose by making the changes reviewers suggest. The site has a lot of advanced search options, including an ingredient search, so you can search for recipes based on the food you have on hand. I have found some amazing recipes on this site, and have listed my favorites (in no particular order) below:
-Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
-World's Best Lasagna
-Chicken Broccoli Braid
-Make Ahead Lunch Wraps

Web Site of the Week #4: Current Codes
When I’m about to buy anything online, I always go to currentcodes.com before checking out. 
This fantastic Web site provides coupon codes for hundreds of online stores. You search for the merchant you’re buying from, and there will often be a coupon for a percentage off your purchase, or even free shipping. I love this Web site because I figure that if I’m going to make a purchase anyway, I might as well see if I can save a little extra money while I’m at it. If you don’t find a code on this Web site, you can go to another coupon code Web site, such as retailmenot.com. That Web site also provides coupon codes, but anyone can submit them, so sometimes they don’t work. I prefer currentcodes.com because it’s easy to search, and the codes are always up to date.
In case you don’t know how to use coupon codes, when you’re checking out from an online store, look for the little “coupon code” or “code” box that’s most often on the payment info page. Enter the code and the discount will be reflected in the final price.
