ok, ok...

so i know that i NEVER post anymore... life's been wonderful here, but blogging just hasn't been a priority. i need to evaluate whether or not it'll be helpful for keeping in touch with people, but that will be a decision that i'll be making between now and when this baby decides to come out in late february / early march!

until then, go check out 5 minutes for mom. their giveaways are AMAZING. the first one of the christmas season made my jaw drop...

dairy-free-goodness

For those of you who, like us, have someone in your household who is dairy-free, CHECK OUT THIS GIVEAWAY! Pardon the caps, I'm just really excited about this. How have I not heard of these goodies before? I can tell you that if I win this, I'll be spreading the love among my local dairy-free friends (it's surprising how many of them I have!) Thank you to One Frugal Foodie and Erin Baker!

No Spend Challenge

For this lovely first week of February, I'm joining in the MomAdvice No Spend Challenge. I'm just doing it for a week right now - but I'm going all out and not spending a penny. No buying food for us - make it a pantry challenge week. No gas - I have a full tank and I'm not going anywhere... No clothes or just stuff either!

The only thing I am going to spend money on is special ingredients for a lunch I'm having on Wednesday. Peanut and I are going to be entertaining two moms and their assorted five children - one of which has more allergies than I can count on my two hands. Seriously. Poor little guy. So I think I will probably need to pick up some specialty ingredients, but I don't mind doing that at all!

announcement and a giveaway to go enter!

hey all.

i'm just about to unveil the new blog. it is pretty darn fabulous, if i dare say so myself.

but while you're waiting for that, go over to confessions of a yummy mummy and enter her AMAZING giveaway of organizational supplies! She calls it a super fab giveaway, and I'd have to agree! Halfway down the prize list, I was like "hey, this is a great giveaway!" and I hadn't even gotten to the big stuff yet!

a contest for you

So whenever I enter blog's giveaways, I always skip the extra entries that come from blogging about the contests. I used to do that, but then found that my blog was turning into a couple thoughts from me and a lot of talking about other people's contests.

Actually, now that I think about it, I should just have a separate blog for those - and if you're into learning about new contests, you could follow that one. Huh. Good idea, me!

But - here's a contest that is making me break with my habit. Seriously want to win this one!!

A Daycare Life is hosting this diaper bag giveaway!


I'd never heard of Hoohobbers before - which is a good thing, as I would have spent too much money there!

blogging conundrum

i'm in the midst of a blogging debate with myself.

should i blog for the public?
should i blog for family and friends?

how much privacy should i have?

i've been toying around with a bunch of different options, so i have a lot of "inactive-ish" blogs while i figure out what level of privacy i want to have.

thanks for understanding.
