I have two friends that are expecting babies this November, and while friends and family are buying them fancy Maclaren strollers that are fashionable and functional, I’m making them smart-ass stitchings from Subversive Cross Stitch.
I’m sure they’d appreciate a cute, light-weight stroller much more, but I figure they’ll get a giggle out of my gift, which comes from my snarky little heart. I hope.
It’s time to pick a winner in the reusable Target bags giveaway! Lets review the prizes…

If you had multiple entries, your comment counted as one entry and the remainder of your entries were numbered according to order of submission starting with the number of the last comment.
For Christ’s sake, at least say US Weekly.
(Yes, I’ve jumped ship. Sorry, John.)
So, what do you think? Have you been dying of anticipation like I have? Is it everything you hoped it would be?
I am in love with the new design and the guys over at Sandpaper Studio that made it happen (Hi - Joe, Patrick, and Torrey!)! I keep teasing that I’m going to have the little birdie in my header tattooed so that he’s perched on my shoulder just like he is on my blog. Wouldn’t my mom love that?
Enough gushing…leave a comment with what you think, tell the guys they did a great job, and let me know if you run into any problems!
EDIT: We’re working out some kinks, but the super cute new theme will be back up before you know it. Check back and let me know what you think!
My new blog design is almost complete, and I am so excited to unveil the new theme. It’s a great facelift for my blog and I think it really sets the tone for where I want to go. In the meantime, I’m busy ordering blog swag with my new colors and logo! I always use VistaPrint when ordering printed items for my blog and they have always met the highest of expectations. They are fast, the colors are sharp, and hello…FREE!
My usual order consists of business cards, pens, and sticky notes with my blog graphic and contact information. Once you start handing out swag, you’d be amazed at how many people visit your blog and ask for more!
Besides my little corner of the internet, I’ve used VistaPrint for corporate holiday cards and client projects. I’m so confident in their service and quality, that I’ve never hesitated using them for client work or recommending their site to others.
I’ve never gone this big before, but Magnetic car signs with my blog header and web address might be in order to celebrate the new design. Especially since the coupon code CarDoor25 gets you 25% off car door magnets! Large or small, custom or template, VistaPrint has magnetic car signs that will make a statement, as well as business cards, swag, signage, and much more!
Just a reminder that I’m having a giveaway and your chance to enter ends September 30th!
Three winners will receive various assortments of cute and sturdy reusable shopping bags from Target. These are by far the best reusable bags I’ve purchased, and they will make your next trip to the grocery eco-friendly and a heck of a lot easier.
To enter, visit the contest post and leave a comment for 1 entry, Twitter for 2 entries, blog about the contest for 5 entries, and Stumble the contest post for 10 entries!
My ten year high school reunion was this summer, and even though I wasn’t an enthusiastic participant, I did wonder what happened to a few of my classmates and tried to look them up online.
The search engines didn’t turn up any leads and most of the people search sites I found wanted a credit card number, and I may be curious about what happened to Kristen Burdan, but I’m not willing to give out my credit card number of find out where she’s at now.
One people search service that didn’t require any form of payment and gave me valid information on my classmates was www.lookupwho.com. All you need is a last name and state of residence and the search scours its database to supply available address and telephone information.
Next time you’re looking for someone, give www.lookupwho.com a try. It’s FREE, what do you have to lose!
Do you ever have dreams that are so realistic you have trouble waking up and coming to? Ever wake up convinced that what is going on in your dream has carried over to real life?
Well, I must have laid the wrong way in bed last night because my back started to ache and I began dreaming that I had just had back surgery and was on bed rest recuperating! I was really tentative with my movements because I thought that I had incisions on my back that I didn’t want to disrupt.
After a few minutes of moving in slow motion, I finally realized I was dreaming, told myself to stop acting like a nut, and hopped out of bed.
I tried doing some dream analysis this morning, but couldn’t find anything specifically associated with back pain. Pain in general does mean that I’m either manifesting emotional pain into physical pain or that possible health related issues related to the specific body part need to be investigated.
I think it’s just because my uncle recently had major back surgery, my boss is going to physical therapy for back problems, and I have a weiner dog that takes up too much room in the bed.
Mike and I are still about a year away from purchasing our first home, but I occupy a lot of my free time by searching the neighborhoods we like for new homes on the market. It’s kind of disheartening to see what’s currently on the market without our budget when we’d really love to build the house of our dreams from the ground up.
You can read all about custom homes at the Schumacher Homes Press. They build dream houses for families all over the mid-west and have the work ethic and solid business practices that have earned the accolades from professional organizations and families alike.
Schumacher builds homes that are just our style. Modern and contemporary but with a comfortable twist. Good thing they build in all the states we’re considering buying a home (Indiana and Texas) plus more. Makes us really want to buckle down and save our pennies so we can get out of this crusty old apartment!
Because I ordered one this morning. Damn Etsy.
It’s tiny (only 3 inches tall by 3 inches wide) and the directions say to place it in bright indirect sunlight and water every 2-3 weeks. I can even order an itty bitty bouquet or mini mushrooms or even a tiny house to decorate my terrarium!
How hard can taking care of a terrarium be, right? Isn’t the whole point to have something green and growing that requires minimal effort or are they delicate ecospheres that require the utmost attention to humidity and air pressure?
