What Did I do Today?

-


I babysat a 4 month old and a 2 year old. I was a little worried because I thought Drake would be jealous. Oh no. He loved the baby and was very gentle with him. Good Boy.



He enjoyed the baby's car seat too.



Here are some fellow bloggers right in my church (above pic)! I knew Jen had a blog but I thought it was a food blog. Y'all know I can't cook so I haven't visited much. Now, I'm excited to see what's been going on in her life. Mandy just moved in today and has been reading my blog. It was so fun to meet her. Yeah!! They completely rock and you'll have to check out their blogs.



Tonight we had an ice-cream social for church. I had 3 goals. One to finally meet people, two to bring up blogging, and three to introduce a friend who just moved in. I'm proud to say that I did all 3! It was really fun to try to work in blogging into every conversation I had with every person there. FOTFL!! It gave me something to do and I quite enjoyed it.



I got everyone to liven up a bit and give me the 'Rock On'!





Fun night. Thanks ladies. Life is just more fun with a camera. (btw: I'm not liking my hair down. Any suggestions? I see my hair dresser next week.)

I thought my Luke would be jealous of our new baby cause he's kinda tough on other kids that are smaller than him, but he's her biggest fan!
I really need to make more friends in my ward. I somehow feel like because we're only going to be living here until April that I don't need to make as much of an effort. . . but I should.
As far as the hair- get bang! I'm in love with mine. (Seriously I am not all about myself- but I just love this cut!) It's like you have an instant style w/out even doing it!!!

What a great idea - an ice cream social - you all look like you had a great time! Hope school is going well for you - I've been so crazy it's taken me awhile to catch up on everyone's blogs! Have a great weekend!

Drake looks so small in the 1st pic and then extra long in the next. He's so cute! The social looks like so much fun! Love your shirt ;)

I agree, the camera even made grocery shopping fun!

It was a WAY fun night... we had a great turn out and a fun group there. Thanks for helping liven things up - you're good with your camera! And get people to do funny things that you don't normally see them do. So fun! And thanks for the publicity for me and my blog!

It was great to officially meet you -- now I can stalk you in person instead of just online!

What a great idea to do an ice cream social to get everyone moving. My husband and I were just talking about this a couple of days. So many new people have moved into our deadend street. Three or four houses have made it patently clear they want to have nothing to do with the rest of us (too bad for them.) But we've all been talking about doing something and fostering that sense of community.

You've inspired me!

I found your blog via a comment you made on another blog about my Blogroll . . . at least I think it was too me. I got a little confused.

You recommended your friend Rochelle's blog but I couldn't find her URL. Will you let me know where I can find her? Please?

In addition, please drop by mine and simply click on Join in the LDS Blog Webring. We'd love to have you on board.

what a sweet little baby. I know mine is only a few months older... but those few months are the difference between being swaddled and not. Also, teeth, crawling and such... it just goes so fast.

I like your hair. :)

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...
