Kitchen Tables from CSN Stores!!

Nearly every day, when I walk into my kitchen, I think about how nice it would be to freshen it up. I would love to redo it all, put in more cabinets and counters and move our kitchen table into the dining room (which we currently use as an extension of our living room.)

The kitchen table is something else that could use a change....well, more than a change...it could use a trip to a garage sale and I'd LOVE a brand new one! It currently only seats 3 and, as embarrassed as I am to say this, we shove a broken chair under the table to pull out when Rich is home for dinner, so we can squeeze the whole family around the table. Due to our table situation, I've really enoyed shopping for kitchen tables on one of CSN Stores sites and their selection is awesome!

What's neat about shopping on CSN Stores sites is that when there is a little more to choose from than you want to look through you can narrow your search in the left-hand sidebar! For example, I narrowed my search for a kitchen table by saying that I wanted a casual, rectangular, dark wood finish table with an extension and it took my selection from 946 results to 64 results!

This one is my favorite!

More Prayers Please

I haven't posted recently about Amanda Buckland, my friend who lost her children and husband in a house fire in December, but she had been doing well. She was back to work by the end of January and finding ways to enjoy life despite the extreme loss she had faced. I'm asking for more prayers for her today and the days to come, though, because she just lost her father last night too....almost exactly 9 months since she lost her family... Amanda is a wonderful person who has been SO strong through everything but, to me at least, it's almost too much....only God can provide the comfort and strength that she needs.

CSN Stores Pacific Women's Bike Review

I have been without a bike since the year I graduated from college (6 years now-crazy!!). I haven't thought too much about biking or needing a bike until now. The kids are getting old enough to bike now and I wanted to be able to take them on rides beyond the driveway, which is as far as they are allowed to go on their own. When CSN Stores offered for me to do a review I jumped on it and knew exactly what I was getting....a bike!!

The Pacific- Women's 26" Front Suspension Traverse ATB Mountain Bike came needing some assembly, which my husband kindly did for me (without even having to be asked-awesome!!) When he had it together, he asked for me to try it out and, unfortunately, it wasn't riding right. I had actually had concerns ordering a bike online with not being able to try it out and my new bike came with a bent/warped wheel.

Luckily, CSN Stores has a wonderful costumer service department that e-mailed me back the following day. They were unable to replace my wheel, but gave me the contact e-mail for Pacific who had a brand new wheel sent out to me the same day!!

I now have my new wheel for my new bike....they're just not quite connected yet. I know it will be a great bike when it IS ready to ride though!!

I want to emphasize how easy it was to request a replacement part for my bike through CSN Stores. They have a web address right on the order slip that came with the bike for returns/exchanges and requesting replacement parts. I was in awe of how quickly they responded, appologized that they were unable to fulfill my request and had the contact for Pacific for me so I didn't have to look it up.....AWESOME!!! :-)

If you're in need of anything, please take a look at CSN Stores. They have a TON of products to choose from, ordering is super easy and if you have any problems, their costumer service is wonderful!!

It's a Girl...x 3!

I wanted to congratulate 3 of my close friends. Each of them were blessed with a new little girl to their families this past month.

Megan Elizabeth was born July 13th at 6:02 am. She was 8 lbs, 2 0z and 20.5 inches long. She has a very proud big sister.

Addison Elora was born July 25th at 8:22 pm. She was 8 lbs, 10 oz and 21.5 inches long. Her big sister is also very happy to have her! :-)

Samantha Michelle was born July 30th at 4:56 pm via c-section. She was 5 lbs, 15 oz and 19 inches long.

Little Samantha had a couple difficulties from being a little early, but is doing good now. She should be able to go home at the end of the week. I'm SO excited for her parents! They had tried for over 4 years, went through several procedures and finally, after the 2nd IVF, she was on the way! I can't wait the meet this sweet little miracle! :-)

Congratulations on all your sweet little girls!! They're beautiful!!!

CSN Stores has me Dreaming Again!

I dream daily about how to go about fixing up our house. I love this little old place, but one day we'll need to gut the kitchen/dining room/living, plus add on and get everything new from the flooring to the lighting. The room that I think will be the most fun to create is the kitchen and CSN Stores has been a wonderful place to dream with over 200 stores to shop in!

For my floors, I'd love the Harris Wood Rocky Mountain Handscraped 2.25" Solid Red Oak in Russet.

I also like the Kraus Contemporary Kitchen Combos Undermount 32" Double Bowl Kitchen Sink with Kitchen Faucet and Soap Dispenser.

This would be a wonderful refrigerator!

And I'd love this for over a possible future island!

While I'm dreaming, head on over to CSN Stores and take a look....I'll bet you'll be dreaming too!

Stay tuned for my upcoming review!! :-)
