Stop the world - I want to get off!

It’s been a bit crazy, still, around here. The kids all struggled with Hand, Foot and Mouth, this past week. I had a couple of nights of not getting to bed until 5am, then being up for the day at 7am. Fortunately, my mother in law came and spent Friday night so that I could get some sleep.

Last night the kids seemed to be back on schedule. This afternoon I got home from a baby shower and Matt was on the couch, sore throat and a fever. Now I have a sore throat. I’m just praying I don’t get sick and that Matt gets over it REALLY fast.

I have about 5 or 6 posts, some already written, that I keep meaning to finish and get up here, but I just haven’t had time. I had a whole bunch of stuff I was going to say in this post, but now I seriously can’t remember them.

I did declare google-reader bankruptcy and cleared it out. I had over 250 unread posts. No way was I going to get to them and I didn’t really think that brow-beating myself was going to be productive. SO….tell me what’s been up with you, especially if I’ve missed something major (i.e. I didn’t comment on a post).

Also, since I can’t seem to remember what all I had planned on saying, what are your questions for me? Anything goes. Even if it’s something like what kind of PJs do I wear. What are some things you would like to see me do around here: Vlogging? Recipes? Tutorials? House or sewing projects? If you don’t want to leave a comment then feel free to email me jess.white05 at gmail dot come

Let me know :-)

Oh, and I’m not going to be doing the Creating Community through Comments Blog Hop in September. Just too many other things making demands on my time.  BUT I do still, encourage you to seek out new blogs and leave’em some comment love. Feel free to take down the graphic on your blogs.

Food for Thought

As you know I'm always redoing and tweaking things around here. I want to know...what is your first thought when you visit this site? What things do you not like or would like to see changed? Is it difficult to navigate? Do you feel overwhelmed by too much stuff? I want this place to be just as comfy for you as it is for me. So let me know, what would invite you in to stay for a bit?

On Approaching the Big 3-0!

This month something crazy happens {my mom will attest to the fact that she is not old enough for this to happen}: I a1042turn 30. That’s right! A new decade! I’m completely ok with turning 30, but why is it that the numbers always sound so much older than the actual age. I don’t think people who are 60 are old, but that numbers sounds really old.
This month I’m going to {try} to do some fun things around here, not sure what yet, but maybe a giveaway and some fun posts. I think I can manage that. BUT if you have some ideas for giveaways or posts, or things that you think would make for an awesome celebration (your questions for me)…by all means email me! :-)

But first off, let’s kick off the month with Creating Community through Comments! If you signed up, let the commenting begin!

Who Doesn't Love Comments Part 2

So there has been quite a bit of interest in doing a commenting-blog-hop kind of thing once a month, on a month by month basis, which is awesome! I'm so excited about that.

What do we want to call it? What kind of graphic do we want? I have something in mind, but I want to know what all of you think. Now I'm going to open it up to all of you.

Over the next few days I would LOVE if you left your ideas in the comments and emailed me (jess.white05 at gmail.com) whatever graphic designs you've come up with {I know there are at least a few of you graphic-designer people who read!}

By the beginning of next week I'm going to be posting all the ideas (and graphics) and we'll have a big vote.

I'm hoping to have this up and running for July 2-8th, so if we haul-heinie and get the word out there ASAP I think we can do this! Have a name/graphic by June 8th and start Tweeting/FBing/Blogging/etc to get people to join us in this new venture!

I'm excited! Are you?

Who doesn’t love comments!

Commenting has always been super-duper important to me. Not just the receiving them (which I LOVE), but giving them as well. I love finding new blogs or commenting on blogs/posts that don’t have a lot of traffic. I know everyone else loves the comments too.

Would anyone be interested in participating in a commenting blog hop once a month?

What it would mean is that once a month, for a {probably} week those who linked up would be committing to comment on a certain number of  blogs a day during that week, particularly the other blogs that signed up, but any blog really. Being sure to leave them some comment love and telling them how/why you're there.

I used to do ICLW with stirrup-queens.com, but since my blog isn't primarily about infertility anymore, I'm thinking of hosting one that would be open to anyone (I know that ICLW is, but it is primarily infertility).

Anyone? Any input? Beginning of month, middle or end of month better? Name? Graphics?

I’m really serious about doing this and would love for any insight you may have.heart hand
