Food Lovers

Do you love food? I know I do. That's why I found foodconnect.com to be quite interesting. I thought there are probably many others out there who would as well...and that's why I wanted to share it with you. In visiting this site, I found that there are many great things about it. I guess the best thing of all is that it's free to be a part of. Now, who wouldn't enjoy that...right?!! So what is this site all about? Well, you can discuss recipes with others, share them with friends, plan meals and print lists to help you when shopping, and even find out the nutritional analysis of your recipes for free...I think that's my favorite feature!! How about you?! I thought this site was really unique and unlike any other that I've come across. And best of all, it's easy to use. As a busy mother, I appreciate any help I can get in planning meals and finding great recipes that are easy. This is my one place to stop for all my needs. If you love food and think it would be fun to learn more, then this site is definitely one you should check out today! Head over there and see what you think. You have nothing to lose!!

Nice Day

It sure ended up being a nice day out today. This morning it was raining and very dark and gloomy. Now, this afternoon, it's sunny and beginning to warm up. Over the past few days, I have been able to take Kaelyn out on some stroller rides. I didn't think I would be able to do that today, but it looks I may after she wakes up from her afternoon nap. That will be fun. She really enjoys getting out and going for walks and I do too after being cooped up in the house all winter.

Home Shows

Is there anyone else who really enjoys watching the "home shows" on HGTV? This is a channel that I find myself watching often. I think I enjoy it now more than ever since we now own our own home. IT's fun to see all of the things we can do to our home without spending a whole lot of money. I really like our home the way it is, but there's always room for some improvements and changes. Scott and I have already been implementing some of the simple ideas, and plan to continue as we do some work on our unfinished basement. There are just so many great ideas, don't you think!?

Treasure Hunt

One of the greatest companies that I enjoy blogging for is Payu2blog! They always have fun and exciting things for their bloggers to take part in. Recently I received word that they are going to be having a treasure hunt! Just the words, Treasure Hunt definitely is intriguing, and makes me want to learn more about it!! Over the next month they're going to be offering a number of prizes that people hunt for online. They will be sponsored by jewelelegance.com, a great site for jewelry lovers like me to find lots of diamond jewelry!! Doesn't this sound exciting?? I'm not quite sure how it will all work, but having taken part in other promotions like this before...I can tell you that it's something I'm not going to miss out on!!

Auto Insurance

There are so many different insurance companies out there....it's difficult at times to know if the company you're going with is the best one for you. We're very happy with the car insurance we have for instance, but I know that if we ever decided to look elsewhere...we would look into the online auto insurance that is available out there. It seems like this is a popular choice among many people, and I'd really like to check it out further sometime. The internet is such a great thing isn't it?! it makes it possible to do so much. What would we do without it?!

Sleep Wedge

Kaelyn has begun to move around a lot more recently. We find her in her crib, and she's moved from one end to the other. We were thinking about taking her sleep wedge out of her crib...as it really doesn't keep her in one position any more now that she's moving all over the place. We thought about this for a couple of days, and finally decided that we're not quite ready to get rid of it. We feel that it keeps her in one position longer than if she didn't have it. The longer we can keep her from moving around her crib at night, the better!

Soon to crawl...

Tonight Scott and I were sitting at home watching Kaelyn play on the floor, and all of a sudden she began pull herself up onto her knees. She has been lifting herself up on her arms for a while, but this is the first time that she's pulled herself up on all fours. She didn't go anywhere, but she did sit there and rock for a short time. I have a feeling that she'll be crawling very soon! She's such a big girl...where has the time gone!

Zoe's heading home

This weekend we are bringing Zoe back to my parents. They have been on vacation, so we were dogsitting the past couple of weeks. It has been fun having her around, she's always such wonderful company! I don't mind having her at our place anymore...because she's so good with Kaelyn. When she was first born, Zoe was really jealous and we could not have her near her. Now, however, she is very good and I always look forward to her coming. My parents are really missing her, and they will be so happy to see her. I'm looking forward to seeing them as well....as it's been a couple of weeks.

Take Surveys and Give to Charity

I learned about dNeero a while back and have been enjoying doing the surveys that they put out there for me to do. I really like that they give you the choice, whether or not you want to keep the money you earn, or give it to charity. It's a very good thing to do, and there are many organizations available to give to. If you enjoy making money, or giving to charity....dNeero may be just the thing you've been looking for.

Change in Weather

Yesterday was so nice, and then this morning I wake up and it's cold and rainy. It looks like the sun is finally starting to peek through the clouds some, but I miss the nice weather we were having. I sure hope it returns soon...it's much nicer to be able to enjoy the outdoors with kaelyn, rather than be cooped up in the house all day. I think she enjoyed getting out and being able to go for a stroller ride....hope we can do it again soon!
