I was super excited when I was asked to review and giveaway My Memories Suite. I have actually been trying to win this giveaway on other blogs. I really love scrapbooking and I have been wanting to try digital scrapbooking.

Once I started playing around with this great software, I was instantly hooked! My Memories Suite has some great templates that is so easy to use. All I had to do with this one of Allison is just drop a picture in and walla, a beautiful page for her scrapbook! And it printed out beautifully!

(click to enlarge)

I also made a beautiful page for Ryan with the templates.

Now you might think My Memories Suite just has templates. Nope, you can create your own layout as well. I am not very crafty but I made this one without a template. I think I did a good job!

There is just so much more than scrapbook pages you can do with My Memories Suite. You can make cards, photo books, videos, calenders and so much more!

I even got a little creative and made a calender page for the month of February. I found a great Valentines kits on My Memories at a very good price.

The scrapbook software is easy to use and they have plenty of your scrapbooking needs right in there. It will be hard to choose what paper or embellishment you want to use for your layout!

IA Asked, I Answered

January 24, 2012 By Heather

It’s time for that no rules link up Talk To Us Tuesday with IA and Shawn.

Yesterday IA was tagged and had to answer some questions and ask some questions so I thought I would answer those questions.

1. What’s your most embarrassing moment?

My most embarrassing moment would have to be the time I had a made in China sticker on my butt when I went to my Dr. for my yearly pap. So I am laying there, legs spread open in the stirrups and she started giggling. She told me I was made in China and ripped off that little sticker. Talk about wanting to die of embarrassment.

2. Why do you live in your current city?

It is the city I was born and raised in. I always wanted to stay because of my family but really would love to move away because our school system S.U.C.K.S ! Ryan loves the online school he goes to but Allison is going to be the one that will love being in a traditional school surrounded by kids. And I will not send her to our city school. If we are still in this craptastic town when she starts school, she will go to one of the charter schools until we move.

3. Did you/Will you have sex on your wedding night?

I sure did!

4. What is one household appliance you can’t live without?

I wish I could say my dishwasher but since I am my dishwasher I can’t. Our house doesn’t have one and I don’t think our landlord will let us put one in. So I guess I will have to say my vacuum cleaner. I get really anal when the carpet is dirty. I can’t stand crap on the floor.

5. It’s your birthday dinner and you can order whatever you want. What is it?

Well I will be at Johnny Biggs and I will order The Smokehouse burger with the bbq sauce on the side, loaded fries with a side of ranch and sweet tea! I am so drooling thinking about that.

6. Have you ever enjoyed a Captain and Diet Coke?

Sorry IA, I am a vodka/OJ or vodka/cranberry juice kinda gal. I have never had any Captain.

7. I should give up ______but I just can’t do it yet.

Smoking! I want to for my health BUT I really enjoy it. So I am just not ready. As IA would say, Don’t judge me!

8. Approximately how many pairs of shoes do you own?

I actually don’t own a whole lot. Let me think…….. maybe 6 or 7??

9. Have you ever sucked a toe?

Never!!!!

10. Do you have a secret talent?

I sing beautifully in the shower. Ok I sing kinda ok in the shower.

11. Are you really answering these silly questions?

I sure did!

What a nice weekend

January 23, 2012 By Heather

I had a nice, relaxing weekend with my family. Just sitting around watching tons of movies on TV. I actually got hubby to watch some Lifetime movies with me. He normally doesn’t watch Lifetime movies, because they are “chick flicks” The two we watched was about 2 douchy men with the last name Peterson.

I think Rob Lowe did a great job portraying this assbag. The real Drew also watched this movie over the weekend too and I guess he thought it was hysterical. If I can say 1 thing to this ass is “Your not untouchable, douchebag”

Another movie I watched was The Green Hornet with Ryan. We both LOVED that movie. I kept saying how bad ass that car was.

Plus I loved Seth Rogan as the green hornet.

And with Allison, we watched Tangled for the 200th time. She LOVES this movie. And I have to admit, I don’t think I could get sick of it either.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Physical Education

January 20, 2012 By Heather

A lot of you know that my 12 year old son goes to a online school. They just started quarter 3 on Wednesday boy I can’t believe the school year is half over. But anyway. When he first started I seen on his schedule he had physical education class this year in the 3rd quarter. I wondered how in the world are they going to have phys ed in a online school.

And so far he is liking that class. He does have to do a half hour of physical activity every day and write down what he did. Which is cool because now I have a workout partner. It made my day when he told me last night he likes working out with me! So both of us have been doing some workouts that I recorded on fit tv. I think he liked the step video the best. I want to find some more workout videos that he will really like.

I just wish they had this class scheduled during the 4th quarter when it is somewhat nicer out. We can go outside for walks or go bike riding.

So maybe by summer me and Ryan will be a lot healthier!
