Four Month Dr Appointment

This morning we have Kaelyn's Drs appointment. She is over four months old now, so she is due for her four month appointment. I always enjoy going to them as we get to see how much she's grown and changed. This one will be particularly interesting as it's been two whole months since we've been there. I'll have to keep everyone updated on how much she's grown and changed. I can't wait...

More snow

Well, it's another snowy day here in the midwest! It seems every time I look out my window these days the snow is falling. I don't mind some snow in the winter, but when it's all the time...it gets a little old. I've had people tell me that they live in climates where it's warm all the time and they'd enjoy the snow some. I guess having been in snow all of my life...well, you could just say it gets old after a while. I think it's safe to say that all of us here are very anxious for Spring to arrive.

Who will it be....

Tonight was another night of American Idol. The girls sang tonight and most of them did a really great job. There are a lot of good singers in the competition this season and it will be interesting to see who America voted into the top 12. Tomorrow night will be a big night, as I believe two more girls and two more guys go. Who will it be?! I guess we'll have to tune in tomorrow to find out. Should be a good results show.

Video Classifieds

Have you ever heard of Listasaurus before? I hadn't until just recently when I came across there site while browsing the web. It's actually a very interesting site that I wanted to share with others. Listasaurus.com is the first online classifieds site that will pay it's users when they list ads. That's not all though. They are now featuring video classifieds as well. I really thought that was a neat feature to this site. There are so many benefits to getting paid to list ads. Both businesses and those who sell different kinds of products will definitely be encouraged by this service. The video classifieds is really great too!! I think there are many benefits to including a video in a classified ad. It not only makes an add more appealing, it is also a great addition to text and pictures. It allows people to get a true feel for the business or product at hand. For instance, if you are looking to sell cars or items along those lines, a video would be much more beneficial than a simple picture or text. Does this intrigue you as much as it did me? If so, you should really head over to their site today! It's laid out very nicely and you're told everything you need to know to get started. If you're interested in getting paid to list your ads, this is the place for you! Check it out today and see what you think.

Favorite Television Shows

I typically do not have a lot of time during the day to watch television. However, when my husband comes home from work, we enjoy watching a few shows throughout the week. The one that starts our week off is John and Kate Plus 8. Ever seen it? It's a really great show about a family who is raising 8 children. As a parent now myself I find it very interesting. We also enjoy watching American Idol. This takes up three nights a week...so although we don't always get to see each one in full...we do our best to catch what we can and make sure to watch the "results" shows on Thursday nights. It's fun to have shows like these to look forward to each week. It's something that Scott and I can do together, even in the business of a work week and a baby. I enjoy it, and can't wait for my week of American Idol to start tomorrow night!!

IZEARanks.com

Wow, I cannot believe it! I was sitting here after having put my daughter down to bed for the night, and I thought..."I might as well get on and check PayPerPost to see if they've put on any of those great 1K Tuesday posts yet". To my surprise, after only a few short minutes of checking it out...here one popped up!! I hurried with my cursor and what do you know...I GOT IT!!! I am thrilled beyond words! What a treat to have this opportunity, not only to make some great money, but also to help spread the word about PayPerPost and their new IZEARanks.com, a new blog ranking system.

Not all that long ago, PayPerPost released the news that they had launched IZEARanks.com. I was pretty excited about this when I first heard about it....it was great that our blogs were now going to be ranked in a way other than PageRank. I really liked the idea of being able to very easily install the code into my blogs to get my RealRank. It's great because it helps to measure the actual traffic your blog brings in and the influence it has in the blogosphere. In the excitement of learning about this wonderful tool PayPerPost created, you can imagine I quickly made an account and added my blogs.

I'm not sure what others think about it, but so far I am really enjoying all that it has to offer. I can go in, find out what my blogs are ranked at, see how they rank against other sites, and even see how many page views and unique visitors I have come through each month. Something else I really enjoy is searching through the "Top 100" blogs that this site makes available. I think there's a lot to be learned from sites that are ranking that high, and I for one am always willing to learn more about how to make my blog better. So far, I am seeing that I rank kind of in the middle when compared with other blogs. There are some that rank lower than me, and some that rank higher than me. I am okay with this, but continually try to learn from those who have better RealRanks and work at making my blog one that people will not only enjoy, but keep coming back to.

Overall, I think IZEARanks.com is a great new tool!! I have had fun learning the stats of my own blog, as well as searching out other blogs as well. In fact, this site has given me a wonderful opportunity to find other great blogs out there, some of which I now visit quite frequently. If you haven't made it a point to be a part of IZEARanks.com yet, you must sign up now. It's really a neat tool that I think many would enjoy.

Decorating Time

We have been doing some remodeling in our home recently, and tonight we got a big part of it done! We had a bedroom that was quite large, so we decided to split it and build a wall. Now there are two rooms, a bedroom and an office! The wall got finished the other day and tonight Scott ended up painting it! He's so good at that kind of stuff...he had it done in no time. It looks really nice! I'm so happy to have it all done. I'm not the type of person who likes having things "unfinished", so to have it done is a relief. I told him that now I'm excited to get started decorating it! How fun will that be?! I'm so excited!! That's probably my favorite part about redoing anything in any room. We get our new pictures of Kaelyn this week, so I'm sure some of those will go up on that wall in some sort of an arrangement. It will be something fun for me to do in the near future. Yeah!

Pizza Survey...Try it out!

Do you love pizza?? I know I do!! Pizza is probably one of my favorite food. However, there are so many types, how do you choose?! I like to try new kinds, but I still have my favorites, that's for sure! If you love pizza you should take the survey that I took below with dNeero. They are a great site that pays you to take surveys and you get paid even more to put them on you blog. It's so easy, and fun!! Try it out...

Baby Changes!

One of my favorite things about being at home with Kaelyn every day is seeing her change and grow each day. It seems like she is always learning to do something new. Lately she's been doing quite a few things. She's laughing out loud which is SOOO incredibly cute! She is also starting to sit up more on her own. We still have soft pillows around her though...she often leans one way or the other after a minute or so. It's all so cute!!
