What's Up?

-


The 4 of us at the movies. We saw Wall-e and the boys LOVED it. I really like what I saw. Drake had more fun running around in the hall.



I know I've been posting a lot about my kids lately, but right now that's my focus. Swim team and swim lessons are finally over and so now we can do other activities and have fun playing with friends.

There's no time or creative energy for projects. I'm putting all my down time into Tip Junkie. I'm currently interviewing fun people like Hostess with the Mostess and the Organizing Junkie for a new feature I'm really excited about caled Talk to me Tuesday.

I also just finished a Media Kit to start offering advertising on Tip Junkie. I'm collaborating with Kim from Today's Creative Blog, Cindy from Skip to My Lou, as well as Heather & Tiffany the SITS girls. They are completely fabulous and I'm excited about our joint venture. There's still a lot to do on my end.

I also finished organizing crafts, schedules, and sign ups for our Super Saturday - which we can't call Super Saturday. So they changed the name to Saturday Spectacular. {{what ever!}} I'll post all that info once it's finalized.

We are now in our 5th week of our IRS audit with no end in sight. Geeze!

Jason's in the middle of finals for his MBA.

I'm looking forward to painting my dining room and finally doing curtains for my breakfast nook. I'm not sure when that's going to happen but those will probably be my next projects.

I think you have 10 days in your week instead of 7 or you just never sleep. I only wish I was half as organized as you. Thanks for your great example.

You can't call it super saturday?! That's odd, what's the reasoning behind that? I'd love to see what crafts you've come up with for that!

We took the kids to the drive in to see Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda while we were in Houston for the 4th. I wish there was one closer to us here. We sure had a great time and no one cared that our kids (translation Ed) were obnoxious.

You are amazing Laurie! How do you get it all done? What's the deal with not being able to call it Super Saturday?
IRS? Yikes. Hope they finish it up soon!

Thanks for all the love, ladies. You guys rock!

There are so many times I wish that my life was just like my blog - quiet and pretty.

I'm pretty focused on Tip Junkie right now. Probably a little too focused. It's a good summer distraction for me.

I've been so stressed lately - I have to get out with my girls. Otherwise I'll loose it. ;)

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...
