Anybody Interested in a Giveaway? 2008-04-23 07:01:40 The time has come in my itty-bitty blogdom for a giveaway. So I was trying to think of something unique to put up for grabs. Oh, and I had lots of ideas. Somehow though I couldn’t see anybody getting really excited over the pair of swim trunks once owned by K-Fed I saw up
An Eggcellant Day 2008-04-22 18:43:08 What a day! First finding out that I won $1,000 in the haiku contest and then, free eggs at the grocery store (yes it was the same store in which the infamous lettuce incident went down - I don’t have a lot of options).
Apparently though, I have been bit by the lucky bug.
I’m a Poet and I Didn’t Even Know It 2008-04-22 10:07:48 Guess what! You remember that little haiku I told you about last week? Well, I’m thrilled to say that I was the winner in the Mother’s Day haiku contest over at Rocks In My Dryer. My thanks go out to Egg Beaters for sponsoring the contest and to Shannon (Rocks In My Dryer) for hosting
My Disney Dream Weekend in Pictures 2008-04-22 06:38:52 I didn’t get a ton of great shots during the Mommy Blogger Disney

This is the Dessert Sampler we indulged in at Tutto Italia. That, mind you, was brought to us minutes before we left the restaurant and Read more:Dream

Home. Sweet Desert Home. 2008-04-21 09:05:09 Oh. My. Goodness. Talk about a whirlwind. I hit the floor running at 4 am on Friday morning and feel as though I’ve been spinning since.

Cancun, Paris, Bejing or Elsewhere? 2008-04-18 11:00:34 Okay, so I thought I’d try out a little something on Fridays. I’ll give it a whirl a few times and see how it goes. If it’s a hit, we’ll keep it. If not, eh, no biggie.

Itty Bitty Favor 2008-04-17 19:20:58 What a day! So I finally resolved my fashion dilemma. None too soon either seeing as how I am supposed to be on a plane bright and early tomorrow morning. Ah, but my bag is packed so I can rest easy now.

Last Minute Fashion Dilemma 2008-04-16 11:50:10 As a stay-home mom, I am seriously lacking confidence when it comes to fashion. Today I’m trying to pack for my trip and I thought I had it all planned but here I am caving under the pressure.

Lookie Lookie What I Got! 2008-04-15 17:34:12 I followed the UPS man most of the way home from picking the kids up from school today. Am I the only one that always secretly hopes he will be bringing a box to my doorstep instead of those darned neighbors who get a package like twice a week? I even made up a little song
Hey Mister, I’m a Letter Writer 2008-04-15 11:06:33 I was graced with the pleasure of Jeff’s company while I did my grocery shopping last Friday. It happens that way every other week on his off Fridays. There are three reasons why I love it when he joins me.
1. He entertains Jayce with random tins of cumin, or cans of sliced olives, Read more:Letter

My Encounter With Dr. Smiley 2008-04-24 15:53:18 I went to the dermatologist today. I went there because the facial lady said that I had a brown spot on my nose that I should have checked out. Not exactly what a girl wants to hear, but better, I suppose than having a brown spot in my nose that I should have checked out. Read more:Encounter

Think It Before You Ink It 2008-04-24 10:53:01 I have a new one for Jeff Foxworthy to add to his repertoire. And yes. This did really happen. No. Not to me.
You might be a redneck if you have to legally change your newborn baby’s name because the tattoo artist misspelled it.
Hmmm. Wonder if she can spell ‘classy’?
Half a Bowl 2008-04-23 20:22:17 So, if you’ve read about my family, then you know that I have three daughters. One of which is a teen. One of which is a tween. And the last of which is equipped with a 47th chromosome that must be encoded with enough sass and spunk to last her a lifetime.
Ah yes.

Tacos With a Side of Egg On My Face 2008-04-27 20:06:56 You remember that Mexican restaurant I talked about in this post?

I told my family that I thought we should go to the other location of the restaurant so as not to be recognized by Tyler, the Read more:Tacos
Meet My Bloggy Neighbor! 2008-04-27 16:09:31 You know how last weekend I was at Disney World meeting all those amazing mommy bloggers?

A Trip Down Magical Memory Lane 2008-04-26 19:33:20 My new blogger friend, Jennifer, has decided to do a Destination Disney carnival and because we all know that I’m a bit of a Disneyphile, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to join in.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know. Really. They do. 2008-04-28 19:43:23 It’s been one of those days where life has come at me well over the speed limit at which I’m comfortable. So, rather than further deplete my weary, overworked brain cells by coming up with a pithy post, I’m going to zoink a fun one from one of my favorite bloggers, The Queen B. Read more:Inquiring
Move Over Papa John 2008-04-29 20:03:06 Three of my four children are heinously opposed to eating foods that contain any traces of vitamins or minerals. It’s not for a lack of trying though; I make valiant efforts to fill them up with the good stuff. I credit Dr. Oz for my conscientiousness. He’s totally HQP (high quality person) material in my book.

The Desert in Bloom 2008-04-29 11:53:12 And you thought the desert was nothing more than tumbleweed, dust, and lizards. Just look at what I saw this morning as I went for my morning wannabe run 5K training session.

The Time He Spent Easter at Traffic School 2008-04-30 20:02:58 Jeff says I have a bad habit (I consider it more of a necessity) of giving him driving directions when we’re in the car together. It’s less that I give him directions really and more that I point to a turn lane here and there or occasionally tap my finger on the passenger side window to let him Read more:Easter

It’s All In How Well You Plan It 2008-05-03 11:54:52 It’s time once again for the Destination Disney carnival hosted by Jennifer at Snapshot. This week’s theme is all about the planning. And, seeing as how I spend a good deal of time planning Disney vacations both for myself and for perfect strangers, this week’s topic is particularly fitting.
