I met Marija through my blog when she entered a giveaway to name my camera.


She was the winner, and my camera will forever be called "Nigel" thanks to her,


It was her sons name, and I will never forget her or this family.

Do You?

Do you know about ALDI ?

{ hint 1 }

{ hint 2 }

Okay, here's your last chance...

Shhh... if you already know let those who don't take a wild guess.

You guessed it... It's a supermarket.

Not just any supermarket, 

but a really awesome money saving machine.

Look at all those groceries above....

now take a guess at how much my total was.

There are 21 items,

and the most expensive item was $7.99

LIST OF ITEMS INCLUDES:

feta cheese crumbles, oyster crackers, 4 peaches, turkey bacon, wheat bread, 

bagged baby spinach, string cheese, 2lbs. red grapes, saltine crackers, chicken breast nuggets, 

grilled chicken strips, bagged garden salad, 1lb. sliced turkey breast, tubed yogurt, 

8oz. cheese block, cherries, Donut blend coffee, wheat crackers.

OOH, I can't wait to see your guesses and see who comes the closest.

I'll announce my total and the winner of my little guessing game tomorrow.

Please do play along... and humor this crazy girl. 

Hope you all are having a great start to your week,

You see how mine has started off...

shopping...

Oh yeah, and cleaning... 

WOO HOO.

Nothing like a fridge full of good eats though.

*peace & love*

Carrie

{ hola amigos }

Hello sweet friends, it's been quite a while now,  and I've so missed hearing from you.

My how the summer time flies by.

I can't believe we are already into the month of July.

I have been busy traveling, and trying to recover from travelling, 

{ you know the drill, packing, unpacking, washing & putting away, yukkk }

my absolute least favorite thing about going anywhere is the packing and unpacking.

We had a great time as always though in sunny Mexico.

We stayed here at the Cancun Palace.

It was nice, but I have to say that my favorite place to stay in Cancun so far is Le Blanc, 

Le Blanc being adult only and having a more spa like atmosphere, it's fantastic,

this place was geared a little more towards families and kids,

and for us this was a kids free adult trip.

Only real downfall to this place was the lack of things to do at night inside the resort,

aside from eating and drinking which we did plenty of.... five pounds worth to be exact.

All in all another great Mexico trip.

Sorry I don't have more lush tropical photos,

but this place really had nothing to shoot, really glad I left Nigel behind,

and took little Nellie with me instead, she did a great job, and she's so tiny...gotta love less carry on.

Anyhoo, I have much more to catch up on but I'll save it for another post.

Sure hope you all are doing well and having a fantastic summer.
