Fewer Friends

I hope no body feels like less of a friend because your name is missing from the side of my page. When I switched to the different background all my friends went away. I will get them added soon, I promise!!

Out of the mouth of babes...

Today I was talking to Kadence about how she is a big girl now and how big girls ONLY wear big girl panties and pee pee in the big girl potty. She was really ignoring me, so I just kept on. "If you want to be a Princess you need to pee pee in the potty." I was desperate for anything that would make her say, "Okay Mommy, I'll pee pee in the potty. What did she say, "This is siwious!!" (Thanks Gena for the spelling). If you watch Wonder Pets you know the tune in which she said it in. I tried not to laugh, but it really was kind of humorous. Needless to say, we are still not using the big girl potty.

Happy Birthday!!

I hope all you had a great birthday today!! If Kadence knows your name, trust me, we sang you happy birthday at least 5 times. She is really in to birthdays and especially loves the cake and ice cream. So, enjoy your birthday today. Make your spouse take you to dinner somewhere nice!! (It might be kind of late for that seeing that it is already 8:30. So go to Starbucks or something!!)

Pay Per Post

Well, why not give something like this a try? Maybe I had too much time on my hands today so I did some blog hopping. On one of my daily stops at Baby Cheapskate I read about this opportunity. Getting paid to blog? What, is that really something you can get paid for? Well, since I am already blogging or reading blogs all the time I thought I would give it a try. I signed up for this "Pay Per Post" deal that pays you to blog about certain topics. You log on, they tell you what to blog about and what to say. You just send them each post and they credit your account the designated amount. Sounds pretty easy! Who couldn't use some extra money? I know for us diapers are getting kind of expensive and we would love some extra money to pay down some school loans. What could you do with a little extra income? And sometimes I need a little prompting about what to blog about. My family is not always that interesting. You interested? I will keep you updated on how my new venture with this goes!! Who knows how much money is to be made in blogging! And you possible could drive traffic to your blog through your post.

Exercise Makeover

Wanna look like this?

Okay, so maybe you already look like that, but for the rest of us that aspire to have our jeans falling off...My friend Elizabeth at http://www.mommymizfit.blogspot.com/ is giving everyone an exercise challenge starting next Monday. For $20, you will get 20 workouts to do, and the goal is to exercise for 20 minutes a day. (or more if you are already exercising regularly.) You can earn points for extra things, getting people to join in, or doing more than just 20 minutes, etc. The rules are on her blog. You can click on the above link or under Mullin's on my friend's list. If you are interested mention my name when you contact her. You don't have to live here to participate.

Results may vary, no guarantee that you will look like the above model. :-)
