CLOSED---Inchbug Orbit Labels Review AND Giveaway

 OKAY! I have waited WAY TOO LONG to post this giveaway.

This review's sponsor is Inchbug! Inchbug is well know for their customized labels. Like these labels below. Not only do they carry these ONE OF A KIND Orbit Labels but they also have Self Adhesive labels for your child's lunch box, plastic wear, schools supplies, etc... What a great invention huh?


We received our pack of customized Oribit labels and hubby and I thought they were the COOLEST things ever. We immediately had to put one on Bman's Car's sippy cup. These things can STRETCH. I thought it was going to break because the Car's cups are wide. Inchbug brand proved me wrong!
The labels states "This Belongs to _______" I didn't want to show our last name BUT on the other side they say Inchbug in brail as well. Our said, "This Belongs to the _______ Family"

My Absense and NEW Camera!

Okay. My life has been a little crazy with working, starting up my OWN business, family...etc... No more excuses Kara, no more!

Anyways, my birthday is next week 4/28, and my hubby got me a BRAND new Camera (he also just surprised me another Bday present! A ONE hour massage!!). Wohoo. I'm spoiled I know. You all know that I normally use my cell phone which takes decent photos.

My camera is a Nikon Coolpix L110! I absolutely LOVE it. It was affordable and does exactly what I needed it to do!

My loves and latest project:
 My Handsome Marine!!

My Adorable Son!


New Wall Art! I found these at the Family Dollar Store! $15 each! Not bad huh?

Okay, so I have a review that I really REALLY need to do, and a couple more that I am still in the "testing" stages for my review. Now that Bman is already two reviews will be more sporatic.

A Proud Marine Corps Memory!

Today I received a box from my dad in the mail. He had sent DS a gift and then sent me an old purse (one that I've had since high school) that he FINALLY got rid of by giving it back to me! I trashed the OH SO OUTDATED purse but found treasures inside. Of the money, old receipts, some OLD Mary Kay lipstick, was a charm. Not just ANY charm. A charm I received just a few short months after hubby and I got married.

And the story goes:
I was working at my first hotel job in California, a newly wed. Just shy of our one year wedding anniversary. 19 years old trying to figure out how to be a Marine Corps wifey. Hubby was gone on his first deployment on a six month MEU (ship tour) in the middle of the sea somewhere. I was a breakfast hostess during that time. I loved talking to people, especially other military families (The hotel was 1/4 mile to the north gate at Camp Pendleton). There was a Marine Corps Officer and his family staying at the hotel as they were waiting on base housing to get their 'act' together and give them their keys. They stayed at the hotel for a few weeks. Mrs. Officer was such a sweet lady. She gave me some wonderful milspouse advice. When it was time for them to check out she came up to the breakfast area and gave me a gift. It was this:

 A Marine Corps dress cover (hat) with the Eagle Globe and Anchor on the top. This was a very special moment for me. It made me very emotional as my hubby had just left a month before on his ship tour. I remember Mrs. Officer saying to me "Welcome to the family!" They will be a family I will never forget.

The military community is such a close community. We really hold tight to those we love and to the new "family" members we gain.

Advice for all my milies, take all the support and advice that you can get. You can learn from it and grow from it. For some of us we have been through deployments and know what to expect and to the "sisterhood" that a wife joins.

Semper Gumby ladies!

P.S. Thank you Dad for sending my old purse. What a treasure hunt inside it!
