Who couldn't use a great giveaway?

If you're in the market to do some super shopping at CSN Stores, stop by Once Upon a Miracle and enter the huge giveaway for $140 to CSN. CSN has just about everything: bakeware, tools, tv stands and more! I've got my eye on some Graham & Brown Paintable Beadboard Wallpaper and a 6 cupboard organizer for my office space. Hurry, the deadline is Tuesday.

Super Stands to the Rescue from CSN Stores

A few months ago our beast of a tv finally died. It was a slow, painful death and I, for one, was not sorry to see it go. We were finally able to buy one of the new flat panel tv sets that doesn't have a huge back on it that looks like a Jersey mule. Since we were in a hurry, we just picked up a cheapie tv stand for our new 42" LG TV at the local discount store. No storage and it wobbles like my daughter did the first time she tried on a pair of high heels. What I should have done instead was hit CSN stores and take a look at their flat panel tv stands because the problem wouldn't be finding one I like, the problem would be narrowing it down to just one!

Moving my living room around would really let me save space and I'm crushing on this corner tv stand with the gorgeous glass doors:



Sliding doors and frosted glass...I've always loved anything in a warm espresso color too:


I love the variety CSN offers as well as how affordable their products are. Many items ship free and that's one criteria I look for in an online shopping site. Take a minute and check out all CSN has to offer.

Looking forward

Last weekend my oldest son got married. What an exciting day and I'm so glad I have a new "daughter" added to our family. The day after the wedding she had already tagged my husband and I as "Mom & Dad" on Facebook; what an honor. Now my husband and I are looking forward to grandchildren; my son and newest daughter were just discussing potential names.

Of course, that started me thinking about the excitement of pregnancy; planning the nursery, having a baby shower, all those great new gadgets available for babies. There are so many new products on the market today that weren't available 27 years ago when I had my oldest son. The crib I had barely made it through all four children and wasn't worth saving to potentially pass down to future grandchildren. Cribs today aren't limited to dark/white/brown square-shaped; they're coming in all colors and styles.



Almost makes me wish I was having another baby...almost! For now, the only baby I'm working on is remodeling my house in order to put it on the market next year. We've far outgrown our "starter" house and I'm anxious to buy a house closer to my parents; one with more living space, a larger kitchen, and a big backyard so we can host some cookouts in the summer!

So with all those great things to look forward to, I have another! CSN Stores is going to let me review one of their great products from their over 200 stores. The hardest part is going to be picking just one! I'm torn between a new mailbox from More Mailboxes or maybe this great wall mirror from Accent Furniture Direct:



Soon, very soon, I'm going to be looking forward to a visit from the UPS man with my CSN Stores package. You'll be looking forward to a review from me soon!
