Small World

-


I think I've mentioned the fact that Drake loves men. Anyone that's of the male gender - Drake attaches himself to and will comfortably go sit on their lap, follow them around, and admire from afar. If you're a girl - you'll get no love from my little guy. (Unless your a tomboy like Lisa, then you're in.)

So, we were at the pool a couple nights ago and it happened again. Drake found a surrogate daddy. I spent quite a while talking to Keri and David (a.k.a. surrogate) while kindly apologizing for my son's sudden attachment to David. At one point David got up to get something and Drake wigged out. He didn't want David to leave! {{geeze}}

Anyway, we ended up having a great time because Keri and David were so engaging and tolerant of our stalking nature. Well, it turns out that Keri is a blogger! Not any blogger but a "tip junkie" as well. She left me the kindest comment saying she googled my name and realized who I was. What a small world!

So I thought I'd be a polite blogger and introduce her to all of you. I hope you'll welcome her with a kind comment like, "So sorry you were stalked by Drake. Poor guys." {{giggle}}



A while ago, I mentioned that several members of Jason's extended family blogged as well. Honestly, it made the reunion so fun and broke the ice immediately. Here is Tera and Amber. I'm really looking forward to keeping up with them via blogger.

I'm still trying to find Danielle's blog - so girl stop lurking and leave a comment so I can find it. ;)

At least Drake has good taste. Look at him getting you new friends.

OK...I'm here! My blog is in serious need of updating, though. When do you find the time?

It has been on my to do list to update my blog (actually do anything with my blog) so that you can feature me or just mention me on tip junkie! If you are still willing to do that, just give me a couple of days to add some more artwork and get it looking better:)Also, I am still confused a bit on how blogspot works. So if you don't mind, I might be asking you some questions along the way. Talk to you later..Amber

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...
