Announcing.... A New Roebuck BOY!

Yes, friends! We are expecting a BOY!

New Roebuck baby boy on the way and due around August 1. I am 14 weeks along, and we saw on the ultrasound today definitive proof that we indeed have a little boy on the way! We are thankful and excited.

One of the reasons we decided to find out the gender before the birth this time is that Max and Maggie both had their hearts set on their hope of gender for the baby. Max really wanted a baby brother while Maggie really, really wanted a sister. We hope that by finding our early, each of them can process that news early on and by the time baby arrives, it will just be what's expected and we can be all excitement and no disappointment when the big day arrives.

SO.... Maximus is of course overjoyed that it's a boy. He has been studying the ultrasound pictures and is beyond excited about the new brother on the way.

Maggie was, to put it delicately, disappointed. Here's how she took the news:

Lucas: We are having.... a baby BOY!

Maggie: (collapsing to the ground and bursting into tears) NO!! BUT I WANTED A GIRL!!

Lucas: I know, but how about a chocolate bar instead?

Maggie: (tears immediately stopping and she stands up) okay.

And that was that. Nothing like chocolate to soothe a girl's dashed hopes.

Now that we're past that little disappointment for Maggie, we're all excitement. We're thanking God for this great news and praying for health and safety all along the way!

NWA Walmart Vendors Sample Sales Friday 11/12

NWA folks: As the holidays approach, several Walmart vendor companies are hosting their annual sample sales. I'll be posting the upcoming sales for anyone who want to check them out! If you've never been sample sale shopping before, here are a few things to remember:

• What is a Sample Sale? Samples Sales are sort of like garage sales for Walmart vendor companies in NWA. Many companies have a constant influx of sample products in their offices, and occasionally they put these products out for public sale at really cheap prices, hence the "sample sale."

• Go early. Just like yard sales, the early bird gets the worm. The hard-core sample sale crowd is waiting in line for the door to be unlocked. If you want the best stuff at the cheapest prices, this is the way to go.

• Most sales are cash only. Hit the ATM before you shop.

• Inspect closely. Some of the merchandise might be slightly damaged or non-functioning, so check closely before you buy!

• Enjoy the adventure! Sample sales are like a treasure hunt! Grab a girlfriend and enjoy the adventure together!

Great Deal today only: Groupon + Soap.com

Today only, Groupon is offering a $20 gift certificate to Soap.com for only $10, and that includes free shipping!! If you haven't used Soap.com before, it's basically an online household goods store with reasonable prices on every cleaning supply or household paper supply you could need. Combine a great site with a deal like today's Groupon, and you've got a great way to save some serious dough on the household products that you need but which rarely go on sale at supermarkets or drugstores!

When I made my last purchase from Soap.com, I got 2 bottles of laundry detergent, 2 bottles of fabric softener, 8 rolls of bounty paper towels, 12 big rolls of Charmin TP, and a can of Suave hair mousse for right around $7, including shipping when I used a $20 gift code just like the one offered on Groupon today. Hopefully this will give you an idea of the type of deals you may be able to score with this deal!

I've already purchased this Groupon. You want one, too? Here's how:

• Go to Groupon and login or sign up.

• Under the "Visit other cities" tab, click on Long Island. This is an online deal, so everyone can take advantage, regardless of where you live!

• Purchase the Soap.com Groupon deal. They will put the $20 code in your account within 24 hours, and you'll have until December 23 to use it.

• One code may be purchased per person. Multiples may be purchased as gifts. I'm not sure if you'll be able to combine a Groupon gift certificate plus another coupon code, but if so and you're a first-time shopper at Soap.com, enter the code order10 at checkout to get an additional 20% off your first order!

Today only: Free Photo Shipping at MPIX

Those of you who know me know that I love great photography. One of the things I've learned over the years: Great photography can't shine without great printing.

There prices are good and their service and quality is even better. I basically never use anyone else.

Shipping is usually a flat rate of $5, so this will make for a significant savings for you if you have just a few photos you want to print. Also, think Christmas- they offer TONS of great specialty photo products that grandparents tend to go crazy over.

To get free shipping today only, just enter code freeshipping at checkout. Enjoy!
