Big thank you’s to everyone who stopped by during the “Ultimate Blog Party!” It was a lot of fun discovering new people to read!

Seriously, is it really fair that just because I MAY have brought up how I have escaped being too sick the last few years that I keep getting every little sniffle, tummy bug or plague this year? Especially when I have been making an effort to take my vitamins, eat a little better, and have breakfast every morning?

I swear I stopped in the fabric store for ONE thing…

(see that little spool of brown thread? yep, that’s all I went in for)

I have added some new links to my sidebar…pay special attention to the “Inspiration” links…I have come across some amazing new (to me) crafty bloggers that are just blowing me away with their ideas, sites, and writing… (Um, Some-Girl, I think I may have to break down and do a link page… )

Keri Lotion sent me some samples recently, and I have to say I am really impressed…I have fairly oily skin, and a lot of lotions just make my hands really greasy, not soft…Keri has a new lotion with Shea Butter that changed my mind. Absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy or slippery. I will definitely be buying more when I use this up!

 Oh! I found a new website called Maya’s Mom…it’s kinda like myspace for moms! You can participate in message boards, add friends, publish your blog there, add funny things your kids do…it’s a lot of fun!

    

We had a glorious day here in Sunny California yesterday…The boys dragged out thier pop up house out to the grass, blankets, pillows, books, radio and all…

Hope your day is just as Sunny!!

One of the blogs I have discovered recently is 5 Minutes for Mom, a great resource for shopping, parenting, and just fun reading…Today they are throwing the “Ultimate Blog Party” – this is a great opportunity to find some new blogs, promote your own site, and win some prizes! Swing on by and check it out!

I often find myself in tears over some of the things I read on some of my favorite blogs…tears of sorrow, joy, and more often than not, bittersweet…Some of these talented ladies (and a few men) manage to do this on a daily basis…Chicky of Chicky Chicky Baby is one of these amazing mamas…I have nominated this post for a perfect post award, because I really did feel that she was talking just to me, and it made my heart ache with familiarity…

To see other perfect posts, go here…and here. Enjoy!!
