Enter to win a free Epson Printer!

Lately I've been following a few "mom-blogs" and getting some great ideas for being more frugal, being more crafty, saving money at the grocery store, you name it!

One blog that I enjoy is SimpleMom. She has a fantastic give-away this month. A new Epson printer/scanner/copier/fax. This thing looks amazing!

Halloween festivities....

Here are some pictures from our various Halloween activites....regretfully, I didn't get very good ones of the actual night! We went to a Pumpkin Parade, participated in Trunk or Treat & walked a few blocks of the beautiful Holly Hills Neighborhood on Halloween evening. Lots of fun was had by all...and Maya has informed me that next she is going to be a pirate, and then Superman, and the Spiderman. COOL...that takes us through 2011 :)

I'm a monkey, mama!

Maya and Carly ... cuteness doubled!

I'm not sure this is what they meant by "trunk" or

treat....Maya preferred hanging out IN the trunk!

Halloween night...2008

Got sugar?

apple picking

Ok...so it wasn't apples, but pumpkins. Over and over, Maya said we were going APPLE picking --- over and over, I would tell her that we were going PUMPKIN picking. And, um, we didn't end up with a pumpkin. oh well....I did get some cute pictures!

would you like fries with that? Maya always likes to play restaurant when she sees an open "window"

My little pumpkin...

and a cute Maya-ism of late....

As we are laying in bed at night, we talk about our day. I always say "tell me about your day Maya" and after I am done, she always says "tell me that, momma" which translated means "ask me to tell you about MY day" -- the funny thing is that I almost always get confused and think she's asking me to tell her about MY day again -- momma is slow at night-night time! :)
