Oh, yeah, this thing...

Recently I was contacted by a brand about a previous post and they reminded me that I used to have a blog here. Wow! Okay!

Well things have changed a lot over the last few years and obviously this blog is completely inactive.  If you want to keep up with the awesomeness, head over to Happenstanced to check out the newness and see our most recent addition :)

Say what?

Nearly a month since my last post but I promise I'll try to do a little better.  What have I been up to?  Oh, just starting a new business.

The name has nothing to do with the product but I wanted to be free to expand in the future (there are only so many hairbows that I can make, and I know that).  I'm taking a short break from college and I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind off of my health issues.

We've also been far more active lately, which has everyone in the house a little bit happier.  Here are a few pictures from our recent 'goin's-on'.

( That's not me, but it is my daughter)

Again

It seems that I've fallen behind on my blogging duties and, frankly, it's because I don't have anything to say.  I'm trying to get caught up on my college work, trying to get the house clean for more than five minutes, trying to pack away and clear out things that we no longer need.

It's been an eventful month!

So, as standard, here are some pictures to pacify you until I can come up with something better.

I never talk about politics or religion in polite company. Oh wait...

I know my readers aren't after any hardhitting journalism or political commentary, so I will keep this brief.

Did you see the State of the Union address?  Was that not one of the most motivational things you've ever seen in your life?  Were you paying attention to the crowd's reactions? Hilarious! 

Personally, I like our President.  If you don't, I'm sure you have your reasons and I won't try to change your mind. I think he's a good guy that keeps trying to do what he believes is best for the nation but people don't seem to want to work together to make things happen.

In closing, if you haven't seen the State of the Union, check it out because at the very least you'll get a good laugh. (Watch for the General's reaction when they bring up Don't Ask Don't Tell!)

As Promised...

Now that the holidays are over and we are back in our home, things should have calmed down and life should be more simple.  Well, I guess the universe didn't get that memo because things are even more screwed up now than they were before we left.

I wont bore you with the details but things are rough right now and there are going to be some major changes happening soon.

I will be updating with more regularity as things settle down but for now, just look at some of the amazing things we saw last month.

About that...

Okay, so I know I promised that I'd be updating more often and then just sort of disappeared, but I've been busy!

We were able to take a long vacation so we came back home for a month so that we can celebrate with our families.

We've been shifting back and forth between the families to ensure equal representation with each side (its been an issue in the past, trust me)

This doesn't leave a whole lot of time for blogging, but I found something that I thought you should see.

I have a new camera and it takes awesome pictures.


Yup, so be on the lookout for some new posts coming up soon!

Tis the Season...

Normally, I'm not one to do product placement or endorse a company that I've never used. This is going to be the exception to that rule because they have done a wonderful job of bribing me with free holiday cards!

Shutterfly is doing a promotion where they are offering 50 free photo cards to bloggers in exchange for a short post, spreading the word.

I've never actually ordered from Shutterfly. In the past, I've always used ArtsCow.com but recently I'm not really happy with ArtsCow and I've been looking for a new photo gift center. Shutterfly was recommended by several people that I've heard of before so I decided to take a look at some of the holiday card templates that they have to offer.

Holy crapballs, Batman. These are so cute!

Their holiday cards are absolutely adorable and if you are looking for an inexpensive way to personalize your greetings this is a great option.

They also do photo calendars, photo canvas, and thank you cards. I may have found my new photo gift website.

Now, spread the word to all of your blogging friends so that they can share in the awesomeness. Generosity should never go to waste!
