Popinjay: An Update From The Dork

My Spreadsheets Kick ___

Well hello there, It seems that lately I’ve been coming around only for Popinjay, right? If I don’t get anything else posted, I make sure I do them, even if they are late. To break the pattern, I decided to post a few posts (below) before posting my habitually late Popinjay. This week’s challenge was DORKY. Next week’s challenge is GUILTY. Join us. Here are my dorky submissions. I couldn’t just pick one. Yes, I still have floppy disks and stuffed animals. I’m working on scheduling reviews and giveaways so that they don’t come flowing in at once. Let’s pretend ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Bare is good.

January 29, 2010 · Beauty · 78 comments

Winner Announced: Gianna When it comes to me and makeup, less is more. I’m an au naturale kind of girl. As long as my face stays fairly clear, I’m happy with just a cute lipgloss. I have been wanting to make my eyes pop, but Greg is convinced that I am fine without makeup. And that’s totally fine. Bare Escentuals has created a micro-site that has women all over the world rethinking beauty. Over at RethinkWhatMatters.com, it’s more about talking and less about makeup. The Rethink What Matters campaign encourages women to take part in weekly discussions that can be ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Transitioning From Co-sleeping

January 28, 2010 · Parenting · 9 comments

Baby Boogz & Dad

It’s been 21 months of snuggles and convenient nights of sleep. However, somewhere down the line, in the last few months or so, co-sleeping has become less enjoyable. It’s been 3 months since Jayden decided to wean from “Mama Nom Noms” (breastfeeding). And after being punched and head butt one time too many, I decided the time has come. The time for us to discontinue co-sleeping. The time for Jayden Elijah to start sleeping in his own bed, in his own room. The time for Greg and I to comfortably sleep together in the same bed. To enjoy each other ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Popinjay: Toolbox of Hope

January 11, 2010 · Life & Quirks · 18 comments

toolbox of hope

My laptop is very dear to me. I call it my toolbox. Since it’s from the Toughbook series, it is built to withstand drops, spills, and other toddler mistreatment. It also has a cool handle for easy grabbing. Inside, it holds everything that allows me to work from home. Everything I need to edit photos, design graphics and sites, set up auctions, write, and network with companies. With the current economy, the start of a new year, and me leaving the blog that was our main source of income, things have started to slow down. It is my hope that ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

So What’s Next?

I have no idea. I am completely overwhelmed with the love and the support that I’ve received through emails, comments, tweets, and DMs. I mean y’all came out of the woodwork, lol. I really appreciate it. I have ideas for posts that I plan on writing, but my brain is trying to write them all at the same time, if that makes sense. I want this blog to be like a community. I won’t go full blown forum or anything, but I want everyone to feel as if they are being heard. I love sharing interesting tidbits with people. And ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Let’s Try This Again

January 1, 2010 · Defining Me · 78 comments

Warning, this is a long post! I started this post on November 22nd which explains why I said it’s been two months since my last post. It’s been two months since my last post and I must say that things are good. I look back last year and remember the days when we scrambled to pay bills late and after paying them not having much left over. I honestly don’t know how we did it, but we did it together. During that time, so much was going on, I didn’t feel like blogging here. I was trying to do my ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →
