Tiara Award

-


Julie, or crazymamaof6, awarded me the Tiara Award. I am truly honored that she would think of me for this great award. I do actually have my own tiara. I bought it for myself when a friend of mine and I had a shopping day to celebrate my birthday. My 3rd boy was still an infant and I was feeling seriously juked in the girl department.



I award just a couple of the fabulous bloggers I know that have inspired me....
  • Heather from Unwrapped, because she has a kiddo that has some health problems and recently went through surgery. Not to mention, she's oober creative and just had a girl's craft night with a bunch of friends. I'm completely inspired by her creations and her mothering.

  • Wendi from Dancin Queen, because I've really been impressed by her sincerity and warmth on her blog. She talks a lot about her beliefs and what inspires her spiritually. I feel strengthened and challenged by that.

  • Lacie from Forever Flamingo, because she recently moved away from her amazing group of friends to a very small town. I'm encouraged by her optimism and her consistency in learning to love her new surroundings. I'm also strengthened by her strong faith.
The tiara award is a fabulous thing , pass it on to those that inspire or impress you. Those that might need a boost or a little love. Share it and love it and pass it on!

My girls looked over my shoulder just now.

Grace: "Why does Laurie have a tiara on her head?"

Jane: "She looks so pretty!"

Grace: "She's crazy!"

Thank you so much for the compliments. Aren't you so nice?! I really enjoy your blog(blogs) too!

I decided to try having my blog not be private for a little while after I read your blog post a few days back. We'll see if that freaks me out too bad or if I can handle it!

Dancin Queen - I think you need to do what's best for you and your family. It's important to feel safe. I just want my blogging friends to forgive my neglect and invite me to their blogs. ;)

Perfect shot! And congrats on the award. No acceptance speech?
I saw your comments on my blog- you can totally use the ideas for Tip Junkie or Executive Homemaker or whatever....I was originally thinking of making them to sell but realized that it would take so much time/effort that it probably wouldn't be worth it. Anyway, tip away!

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
