We just moved to a new apt. and we have a heavily wooded area right next to us. I mean literaaly, we live in the end townhouse, and you walk outside it’s two steps to 10 steps to a “forest”. i decided to get some leaves off our walkway and back patio. i also did some racking on the outside of our patio, to keep spiders away.(i have never seen so many big disgusting spiders in my life til we moved here). i love it here, it’s beautiful and nice.

this is the thanks i get for trying to clean up

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is the front of my leg. they are the size of golf ball

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is the back of my leg, this one is bigger than a orange.

I am hoping they are just mosquito bites, which i’ve heard can be that big. i have about seven more that size. all over my legs.   so much for going outside.

anyone want to donate some off lamps, candles etc!

                                                

There are many blogger confrences throughout the year. they help bloggers grow and learn more. this one is knocking at my door step.

Here is a bit about the convention:

• It is a unique mom blogging conference
• It is designed to help take the blogger to the next level
• It features many influential, admired and insightful mom bloggers
• Focuses on the power of social networking, branding, blogging and monetizing your love of blogging

In order for me to attend this confrence i am in need of a sponsorship. now i live close to where it will be held so i do not need  transportation costs, just tickets for me and my kids. and hotel exspenses so total i would need $900.

$100 sponsorship-I will write a thank you post all about your company

$250 sponsorship-I will pass out your biz cards, wear a t shirt with your logo, and also write a blog post and do tweeting about your company while at the confrence.

$500 or more-Pass out your biz cards/products, wear a logo t shirt, write a 500 word blog post about your comapny, three month ad spot.

 

This will probably be the only confrence i attend and my birthday si on the 28, so it would be a great present!

 

this will be my first confrence and i really want to go

I’m a finalist in th 5 minutes for mom kodak father of the year contest. i recieved my kodak zi6 camera today, and still have a chance to win a trip to florida for the childrens miracle classic.

i’m a little nervous if i win what to do with my kids. family is to far away and the trip is only for two. figure it out, but i have to win first.

here is my daughters entry

Now i have to bring it to life on camera. (hubby hates cameras and pics)

We are in the process of getting everything moved and put together. i’ve been absent for a few days. i’ll be back to regular posting tuesday with a huge contest roundup ;idt. sorry if your deadlines passed.

Yes I’m human! I am unmotivated to write, and have been the past couple days. i know i have reviews and giveaway to write. they are coming.  I have 25 days to find a new apt. pack up evrything and then move there. plus i have no one willing to watch my kids os i can do it. Hubby works all the time. I’m just very stressed out. so if i owe you a post it’s coming.

i ahve a lot of running around this morning, i’m late on announcing some winners and other stuff. i will today, i promise just as soon as i get back

I’ve just changed my theme on my blog. it it customized NO. but whatever. it isn’t about having the best blog design.  I did it mainly to have my comments numbered.

I’ve gotten a large amount of traffic lately, it’s not the best but it’s getting there. i adverage 100 visitors a day.  you know people have told me to make my blog better i could get my own domain and get my layout customized. to me it’s just a waste of money.

this is my personal blog, and yes i do reviews and giveaways from time to time. if a rep or company is going to be so shallow as to not contact me because i don’t have my own domain. then screw them.

i am not here for free stuff, i am here because this is my hobby. blogging is my way to the world. i am a sahm, i don’t get out much and don’t have very many in person friends. don’t really care too, actually. if people want to meet me and hang out fine, but having friends online is just as great.

i’m tired of being flooded with questions about contacts, and people flooding the blogosphere with i want i want.

seriously if you are to lazy to get off your ass and buy it then there is something wrong with you. review things that fit your needs and family.  don’t set out to find the hannah montana rep, because your daughter wants the new cd or doll.

i rarely contact reps anymore for this reason, because me having blogged for 2 1/2 years and getting some good traffic is getting shot down, because pr reps are flooded, by people who have just want free stuff.

half of the stuff i’ve reviewed has either been given away, being put to good use. i’ve never contacted a rep because i wanted something. i’ve contacted them because i thought it would be good info fo rmy readers or bring traffic.

if i hear one more person say “we never have to buy anything again” i’m going to scream, don’t have that frame of mind.

my opinion, if you don’t agree then move along

Contest roundup will either be posted tonight or early tomorrow morning. sorry about the delay, my 16 month old has a ear infection with 104 fever. family first!
