*Drive a minivan but wish it was a 69' Mustang

<br />
Hi there. If you're still there.<br />
It's been a while.<br />
Again.<br />
<br />
Much like the last post of this same nature, this is kind of an apology. To you my rocking and awesome readers. I don't mean to just go away with no explanation and leave you hanging. It just kind of happens.<br />
<br />
"Oh, I'll post something tomorrow."<br />
And tomorrow comes and goes.<br />
<br />
"[Hilarious thing that happened to me] was so freaking funny! I have to post it. Maybe tomorrow."<br />
And tomorrow becomes the next day. And the next day becomes next week.<br />
And now a month and a half has gone by. And I'm sorry. Again.<br />
<br />
Not to bore you with the details, not now anyway cause I'm just not ready, but I've been going through some things these last few months and I've kind of had my priorities all out of whack. But I've been trying to straighten them out. And this blog is really something that I love to do and for this reason and the next, it's just been pushed to the back burner. Even though I have a lot of great things planned for it and that I wanted to do, and will do, with it.<br />
<br />
I kinda needed to get myself straight first.<br />
<br />
But I promise to try better. To try and not leave you hanging again like I did before. Especially when I love you all so much. Really.<br />
<br />

*Winners from my last photo contest! (Thx again to Shannie from <a href="http://shanniedenney.blogspot.com/">Wiz man'll never fit you like the wiz kid did</a> for judging! She got her picks into me right away and it is in no way her fault that I'm posting the results so far out. She is wonderful and awesome and I highly suggest you go check out her blog right away!)<br />
<br />
*A review!<br />
<br />
*Some giveaways!<br />
<br />
*And I know I said I would have 5 photo contests before putting up a poll to announce the grand prize winner, but since I obviously can't be trusted ;D I'm going to say that 4 contests are good enough for now. So if you have won or placed (1st - 4th places) in any of my contests, be on the look out for the grand prize poll I'll be putting up on my blog! You'll want to let your readers know to come here and vote for your picture! There will be some fabulous prizes for the winner! But more details on that soon...<br />
<br />
*And of course some happenings in the life of this little punk rock mom...thepunkrockmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11667344530988079501noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613372258519205144.post-74600899733445540932010-09-30T13:16:00.000-07:002010-09-30T13:28:12.777-07:00Photo Challenge #4- Colors!Hello my loveys!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So if you want to enter, grab the button above and link up! This contest and the Linky below will be open till next Thursday</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">, October 7th at midnight PST. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">And all photographers of all skill levels are welcome. And you don't need a fancy camera either.</span> :D And you can edit your photos if you want, but you definitely don't have to! I'm just looking for passion in the shot. :D<br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">This week, I want to keep it simple but still fun. I know you will all have fun with this challenge! I know I did. It does seem almost too simple, but really it pushes you to think outside the box of photographing a subject perfectly and instead concentrating on the gorgeous colors that make up said subject. Kinda weird at first, but once you get in to it, you won't be able to stop taking pictures! (But remember to stop long enough to come back here and enter your gorgeous pix! :D)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">This week's theme is:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">C</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">o</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">l</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">o</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">r</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">s</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">...</span></span><br />
<br />
This is a very broad category, and you can enter up to 3 pictures if you like. What I mean by colors is that I want color to be the dominating factor in the picture. It doesn't really matter so much what your subject is, but what color/ color combo make up the composition of your photo. As you will see below from my shots, you don't have to just take a picture of a blank wall or have the whole picture be one color. You can still have your subject be in the picture. But I want the colors to really speak. Blurry? That's fine! Fuzzy or noisy? Totally ok! Remember- not looking for perfection, I'm looking for passion and heart! Feel free to crop or edit as you'd like. </span><br />

</div><div>I haven't posted a blog in over 10 days. I've been meaning to. Plenty of blog worthy things have happened to me. Well funny things I think would entertain you. Or at least make you smile. Laugh maybe.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I just, well, theres no good excuse. I've just been, well, overwhelmed lately. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I have my hands in too many pots I guess you could say.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Trying to make money from home. Trying to be creative. Trying to make money being creative. Trying to go to school. Trying to simplify my life. Trying to learn photography. Trying to learn photoshop. Trying to make this blog awesome. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Trying to be a good wife. Trying to be a good mom. Trying to follow Jesus with all my heart. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Some of these things are way more important than others. I find myself putting more time in to some less important things and less into the more important things. </div><div><br />
</div><div>This is because I have no decent schedule. My time floats by all willy nilly. I need a daily schedule badly. I need to figure out how much time I should spend on each thing I want to do daily, and stick to it. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I have more troubling problems that compound this.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am lazy. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I am a procrastinator.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I start many things and finish few.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am easily overwhelmed. </div><div><br />
</div><div>When I'm overwhelmed I tend to hide. From everything. Taking a break at first seems refreshing. Then as the says go by, I get more worried. I need to start again. But I'm starting to get overwhelmed cause I missed too many days. Then the days just add up and starting again at all seems harder than starting over. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm not trying to whine. I've been blessed beyond recognition. Pretty much everything I've said is my fault. </div><div><br />
</div><div> I guess I'm just telling you why.</div><div><br />
</div><div>And I'm sorry. It's hard getting back in the habit. </div><div><br />
</div><div>And I promise to try better. </div><div><br />
</div><div><3MaryAnne</div><div><br />
</div><div>ps- Thx to those that sent me messages of concern. I'm ok. Just a little lost right now. </div><div><br />

She asked if I would look over this article and to decide on whether or not I thought my readers would benefit. I read it over, and I really loved what they had to say. I have always been interested in sign language, and the integration of sign language into early childhood education seems like an awesome opportunity in my eyes. Read on to learn more... </span></i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><i><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Early Childhood Education – Acquiring Sign Language<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">One of the keys to surviving in a tilted economic system in which opportunities to achieve a decent standard of living will be limited is versatility – and the ability to communicate articulately in a variety of ways with the widest possible audience. This includes bilingual ability as well as the ability to communicate in non-verbal ways for the benefit of the disabled – primarily the deaf. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">At the same time, a growing shortage of qualified interpreters fluent in American Sign Language has led to more career opportunities – and if current trends continue, it's likely that skilled ASL interpreters will have little problem securing lucrative employment in a society where such a commodity is destined to be in short supply.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Signing Before They Can Speak<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">A great deal of research has clearly demonstrated that the early years – ages 2 to five – are the best time to educate children in different modes of communication and language. This goes beyond the spoken word (though it is an optimal time for children to learn a second language); many young children have an aptitude for signing as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">This is not as odd as you may think. As you know, many indigenous peoples around the world, including American Indian nations, have used sign language for centuries to facilitate communication with other tribes with whom they do not share a language. Some paleontologists and anthropologists theorize that Neanderthals – who apparently lacked the vocal mechanism to produce many spoken words – depended a great deal upon hand gestures to communicate. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">In fact, recent research suggests that sign language is innate. An article published in the Boulder Daily Camera in 2003 presented strong evidence that babies as young as six months old communicate with their hands: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> "...by 6 to 7 months, babies can remember a sign. At eight months, children <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> can begin to imitate gestures and sign single words. By 24 months, children <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> can sign compound words and full sentences.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The author also cites study funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development demonstrating that young children who are taught sign language at an early age actually develop better verbal skills as they get older. The ability to sign has also helped parents in communicating with autistic children; one parent reports that "using sign language allowed her to communicate with her [autistic] son and minimized his frustration...[he now] has an advanced vocabulary and excels in math, spelling and music" (Glarion, 2003).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Not only does early childhood education in signing give pre-verbal youngsters a way to communicate, it can also strengthen the parent-child bond – in addition to giving children a solid foundation for learning a skill that will serve them well in the future. The evidence suggests that the best time to start learning ASL is before a child can even walk – and the implications for facilitating the parent-child relationship are amazing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

She wanted me to do so because she was going to be welcoming home her husband from his first deployment. I was more than happy to help her out.<br />

Her blog is <a href="http://hewearscombatboots.blogspot.com/">He Wears Combat Boots, I Wear Stilettos</a> and I highly recommend it! She is a personal friend of mine and she is one of the sweetest people I know. She blogs about everything from her <a href="http://hewearscombatboots.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-02something-you-love-about-yourself.html">30 day challenge</a>, to <a href="http://hewearscombatboots.blogspot.com/2010/08/so-today-i-went-and-visited-charleston.html">her obsession with Army Wives :)</a>, and from her <a href="http://hewearscombatboots.blogspot.com/2010/09/important-post.html">passion about current events that affect her life and the lives of many</a>, to her playlist of <a href="http://hewearscombatboots.blogspot.com/2010/08/playlist-songs-for-deployment.html">songs for deployment</a>.<br />

Photo Challenge #2- All the small things :DHello loveys! Sorry I am always so late with posting winners of my challenges. I promise to be better about it in the future, but as a life long procrastinator- this ailment is hard to beat. ;)<br />
<br />
And this week was especially hard since I messed up the Linky closing, left it open an extra day, and then got a day behind on posting a new challenge and picking winners, and yadda yadda yadda, I suck. But since I was the judge this week, it was even more daunting since not only am I a procrastinator, but I also can't make decisions worth a flip. Can't figure out where to eat dinner? Heck! Don't ask me! I don't know!<br />
<br />
And this is especially hard when I love all of the people and pix that were entered. I really want to give you all a prize! But then that wouldn't be fair. And the whole 'challenge' part would pretty much be a lie. Cause if everyone got an award, where would the challenge be? Might as well send in a picture of soggy cereal, cause you know you're going to get an award anyway! Well, I take that back- a pic of soggy cereal sounds like it could be very interesting... LOL! See where I'm going?<br />
<br />
I'm indecisive and it was so hard to pick this week's photos, because I truly did love all of them. They were all so diverse and beautiful, and while I loved picking my favorites, I truly hated having to leave people out. I would basically be the worst coach of all time. "Everyone's a winner!" Like Will Ferrell in Kicking and Screaming.<br />
<br />
I am basically Dustin Hoffman's character, dad to Ben Stiller, in Meet the Fockers. This is what my kids' rooms are gonna look like. Except for the Gaylord part. But you see where I'm going. Poor my kids.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">1. The thing I most regret not doing thus far in life is traveling. I have always been so afraid to fly, so I have just always stayed home. Home as in America. But there is so much in the world that I want to see- Japan, London, Jamaica, Hawaii, Thailand, India, and on and on forever. I also regret not pursuing my dream job as an artist any farther than I have. But hey, the night is still young! Maybe one day?</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">2. My favorite thing to do with the kids is to take them anywhere where they can be social with other kids- the play ground, Chuck-E-Cheese, the play place at the mall, and so on. They are such social little guys, I love watching them interact with other kids, and how they make friends and play together. How they help each other out and chase each other, screaming that awesome outside-voice-scream-laugh that they have.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">3. I originally purchased thepunkrockmom.com domain in 2007, when I was pregnant with my first son. I felt a huge lack in support for punky moms. I had a lot of great vision for the site, but never the time or money to put in to it. Fast forward to now- I still don't have the money, but I have the time available that I want to spend reaching out to and supporting other moms- lifting them up and loving them. So I went the blogger route. (With plans to develop my .com in the future! Somehow!) My site is definitely geared towards punky moms, but I love all you mommies out there and my blog is open and welcoming to you at all times. So my main purpose in blogging now is to share my little self with the world, and to love and support those who share themselves with me. :)</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">4. This one is tough, since there are SO many things that I hate doing! LOL! The easy answer is dishes. We don't have a dishwasher- so that's all you need to know about that. And the fact that my husband is an amazing guy and usually does all of the dishes for me. Love you babe!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The harder answer is probably being honest with myself. You see, I have a very hard head and I am very willful and uncooperative. Except I do sit down with myself regularly and really dig deep. I'm always finding things I don't like, but ultimately because of this- I am able to at least try to change myself for the better. I am definitely a work in progress. :)</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

Whose team are you on and why? (Team Jacob? Team Aniston? Team Tom Cruise? Team Snooki? Etc :))</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">2. What is your favorite thing to cook for your family? (Recipe please! :D)</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">3. If you could go forwards or backwards to one day in time, what would it be, and why?</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">4.

Long time no see! (Well for me anyway- this has been a very blog-lazy week :))<br />
I made a mistake with the Linky timing for this week's contest, so I corrected it and left the challenge open an extra day. So that has me thrown off with my judging dates, and yadda yadda yadda, I suck.<br />
<br />
But that's ok! I will judge the photos tonight and have the winners all ready to roll tomorrow! (I will be judging this time around since I of course waited to late to ask any one. Plus I picked the theme, so I'm psyched to pour over all of your interpretations for it! :D)<br />
<br />
So since I am starting this challenge late on this fine Wednesday, I'll leave it open till next Thursday till midnight PST. BUT since I want to continue to have contests on Tuesdays, I'll still be putting up a new challenge next Tuesday. Promise this time! :D (Oh and I haven't forgotten about the prizes- I'll be writing those features and putting up those buttons of winners tonight! :D And Tiffany- I still owe you your prize! I'll hit you up on fb :))<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So here we go. If you are new, or need some refreshing, please go <a href="http://thepunkrockmom.blogspot.com/p/photo-challenges.html">here for all prize info and most importantly, the RULES</a>.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">I will simply say this: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">follow the directions of the challenge below (# of pix you're allowed to enter, theme, etc)</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">grab my button and put up a post on your blog about the contest and the pix you are entering</span>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">If you are entering MORE than 1 pic, EACH pic needs to be entered into the Linky</span>.<br />
Sounds like a pain in the arse, but it's not a rule that I made just to be annoying to you. It's so that the judges know exactly what pictures count towards the contest. S<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">o if you have 3 pix to enter, but only link to 1, only that 1 will be judged</span>. If I was judging all of the contests, it might be different cause I know what's what, but since I will be having guest judges, it's easier for them to just go ahead and judge the Linky entries.<br />
<br />
So remember, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">LINK EACH PIC</span> you want entered, and<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;"> make sure you link back to the post about the challenge</span>, not just your blog. :D And of course you can put up as many pix about the theme on your own blogs as you want. I always find it hard to narrow it down when I enter photo challenges! :)<br />
<br />
Ok, now on to the good stuff- the pix!<br />
<br />
In my photography class, we are gradually moving towards my pictures telling a story.<br />
<br />
So this week's theme is... <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Story Time!</span></span><br />
<br />
You can enter up to 3 pix. They can each tell a different story, or be three parts of one story. But they have to tell a story. Story abt grocery shopping? Awesome. Story about your baby's first tooth? Great. Story about your crappy commute? Sweet. I want those pix to tell me what you can't with words.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Link up at the bottom of this post!</span><br />
<br />
So here are my examples of story time- they say a lot with a little. (I was going to caption them, but I thought that would take away from the spirit of telling a story with a pic. So look at them, and imagine your own story to go along with them! :))<br />

So if you want to enter, grab the button above and link up! This contest and the Linky below will be open till next Tuesday, September 14th at midnight PST. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">And all photographers of all skill levels are welcome. And you don't need a fancy camera either. :D</span> And you can edit your photos if you want, but you definitely don't have to! I'm just looking for passion in the shot. :D<br />
<br />
This week I will be deviating from my photo class assignment (it's about aperture, and since not everyone has that feature on their cameras, I want to make sure as many people as want to can participate. :)) and I will be picking the theme!<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">This week's theme is:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">All the small things...</span></span><br />
<br />
This is a very broad category, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">you can enter up to 3 pictures</span> if you like. What I mean by small things is, well, let me show you in pictures...<br />
<br />

...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Finally here!</span> I know you all probably think I abandoned you, but fear not! I haven't.<br />
Since it was so nice of my teacher to accept the not-very-easy job of judging all of the amazing pictures that came in, I let her take the time she needed to judge them. It had to be put off several times due to the fact that she, unlike me, has a real job! LOL! And she got attacked in Rio last week, so I let it slide. (I can LOL right here because she was not seriously injured, just shaken up. And she's ok!)<br />
<br />

So my fabulous judge is the awesome photographer Lisa Wiltse- visit her site <a href="http://www.lisawiltse.com/">here</a>. And marvel at her awesome pix and bajillion amazing photography awards! :D She really took judging seriously and put a lot of thought into her picks. She picked the winner and all of the runners up and honorable mentions.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is how I described this photo in the previous photo challenge:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"A<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;">long my walk, I stumbled upon a clothing store called Wisteria Lane. No relation to desperate housewives of the same name, I'm sure. Underneath the sign for their shop hung this really interesting rocking horse. This guy seems like he was once covered in some really fabulous fabric or paper, but the elements have not been very kind. Which left me with an amazing shot!"</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;">How I would relate this photo to me, self, would be that the rocking horse represents my kids, and the aging effect on it represents how fast they are growing up. And how time is fading and fickle- exposed to all of the elements, just like we all are everyday. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is how I described this photo in the previous challenge:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;">This is a scale that I viewed through the window of a vintage shop. I loved the shape, feel and color of the scale, so I emphasized all of those by creating a super saturated Lomo effect. I was very pleased with the result- a timeless artifact, kept vibrant and alive with color."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;">I choose this picture as a descriptive part of me because of wat it represents: a love of vintage things, and fat. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"> I mean really- what woman doesn't look at a scale and think of the love/ hate relationship that she has with it? So I look at this scale with an awe for the vintage beauty of it. And I hate it for the truth it would tell me if I was to actually step on. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; line-height: 18px;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This gorgeous pic is of an amazing pitcher I obtained through a yard sale. I really admired this piece and every time I looked at it, I thought "Marie Antoinette" for some reason. I guess it is a combo of my fuzzy knowledge of her and the Kirsten Dunst version of her. Pink and gilded edges. So my aim was to make this lovely pitcher as bright and funky as possible. Something that Marie herself would be proud of. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This photo is one of my favorites. The original is obviously me- a big, boring background. But I loved the silhouette so much that I had to enhance it a bit. To really make it pop. Cause thats me- simple, but I POP right in yo face. LOL! :D I love the way the details are so defined in this edit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I add this in there because I feel tattoos and tattooing are a big part of my life.

<br />
So I have a few that I want to enter- first up is Natalie's beautiful challenge! Check her blog out <a href="http://dillonsmommajonswifey.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">This is her first challenge, and she has decided to have a free-for-all! My favorite kind of all :D</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Here are her rules for entering a pic:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Pick out (up to *3*) of your favorite photos of ..well ANYTHING (family friendly please, or your link will be deleted!) and tell me the story behind it. If you don't have a particular story to share you can tell how you edited it and got it to the perfection that it is!"</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">So<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I picked out 3, well 4 of my favorite pics of the moment. I'm bad. I broke the rules. I entered 4 instead of 3. But Natalie, if you're reading this, you can just count the first 3. I just love the 4th image so much, it's hard not to enter it. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And hey, would I really be the punk rock mom if I didn't break the rules every now and again? :)</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So here they are, my 3 (and 4th unofficial) pictures for Natalie's contest and their stories:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW_E3ELYCgW-PruQr1x0gVZVGCgdATu6bDM49xZg8htJrt4uZWHEfq0kAMam67qLmsxEui-iiI_s-xnFYPAxy1B03jmuHJFAKsXYfqPQ27fJ380BO5Sxi3x5MiwmSQtOzy0cdxaYHntsks/s1600/sidewalk+sign+pretty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW_E3ELYCgW-PruQr1x0gVZVGCgdATu6bDM49xZg8htJrt4uZWHEfq0kAMam67qLmsxEui-iiI_s-xnFYPAxy1B03jmuHJFAKsXYfqPQ27fJ380BO5Sxi3x5MiwmSQtOzy0cdxaYHntsks/s320/sidewalk+sign+pretty.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As I walked the streets of my now hometown, I came across the local tattoo joint. This is one of the signs they had in their window. I love old looking signs, so I had to capture it. I loved the original image so much, so all I wanted to do to this one was saturate the colors and bring up the hue a little bit. To honor the original- which is awesome in itself. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG5wZB7MewzrTuBxvoRf2SmTHErO61pSMb9oY4Z6xhTnWtLY41lzeLUxNzM0cOyOFBkruO-ROHZ3ozzkG92CLH9oq2J9EzZVjsnsi3i8S3N92PJ67AszcJ5Ku2_HOxi8Md9rVzzeRolWEn/s1600/rocking+horse+color.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG5wZB7MewzrTuBxvoRf2SmTHErO61pSMb9oY4Z6xhTnWtLY41lzeLUxNzM0cOyOFBkruO-ROHZ3ozzkG92CLH9oq2J9EzZVjsnsi3i8S3N92PJ67AszcJ5Ku2_HOxi8Md9rVzzeRolWEn/s320/rocking+horse+color.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next along my walk, I stumbled upon a clothing store called Wisteria Lane. No relation to desperate housewives of the same name, I'm sure. Underneath the sign for their shop hung this really interesting rocking horse. This guy seems like he was once covered in some really fabulous fabric or paper, but the elements have not been very kind. Which left me with an amazing shot!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXeDeKP1iih3lYTAjVRNXz8T5Ffboj4PRzYUQAU47N0v4oI3n6RcTFrHNIMzteqaYHsh69bKVjVLA5CClPdGQAeCe3gLEWo42CjYl-9YpiJWzIN75kvpH_g7i0Q99ADLjfdv5U7U9jn_a/s1600/scale+lomo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXeDeKP1iih3lYTAjVRNXz8T5Ffboj4PRzYUQAU47N0v4oI3n6RcTFrHNIMzteqaYHsh69bKVjVLA5CClPdGQAeCe3gLEWo42CjYl-9YpiJWzIN75kvpH_g7i0Q99ADLjfdv5U7U9jn_a/s320/scale+lomo.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a scale that I viewed through the window of a vintage shop. I loved the shape, feel and color of the scale, so I emphasized all of those by creating a super saturated Lomo effect. I was very pleased with the result- a timeless artifact, kept vibrant and alive with color. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTX6URwEBXqE6yb58HqMNDo9kkh7m-uJ2iinLzxiGBdh4lp0ytfcOF4qiodYhX0F3P7iAaEzhMjTSTl_04VizH27_ccyV3NECOpIGyEMhnQGcAuSEfXqvtcDYPs7LRMu3Ap2iJrqpyRYFx/s1600/IMG_4146.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTX6URwEBXqE6yb58HqMNDo9kkh7m-uJ2iinLzxiGBdh4lp0ytfcOF4qiodYhX0F3P7iAaEzhMjTSTl_04VizH27_ccyV3NECOpIGyEMhnQGcAuSEfXqvtcDYPs7LRMu3Ap2iJrqpyRYFx/s320/IMG_4146.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This photo is the extra cheat. I just love this picture because number one, the colors are to die for. And number two, this is a SOOC shot with no manipulation done to it at all. I can't take any credit for it. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time with the right light and my camera set to the right focus. :) But any way you look at it, God's handiwork is always gorgeous. I was just lucky enough to capture it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So there you go! My entries for Natalie's photo challenge- I bid you adieu and Godsspeed. ;)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Hi again! Just wanted to post this up to let you know that no, I have not forgotten about you or the photo challenge!<br />
<br />
My photo class got pushed to today and I just got through with it and chatting with Lisa. She is super excited to judge the contest and has promised to have her picks ready tomorrow afternoon. So come back tomorrow! (Sorry about the delay- she is a very busy lady!)<br />
<br />
And since this is Labor Day weekend, I know a lot of you will be out having fun with your families, so remember when you get a second to check back. I promise to have all of the winners up tomorrow come heck or high water!<br />
<br />
And I will have a new challenge- the second in a series of 5- up on Tuesday, so you definitely need to come by then and take a look. And hopefully participate! The Linky will be up again for a week to give you time to take pix or find one that fits the theme. It's going to be fun so don't miss it! :)<br />
<br />
I also want to take this time to send a HUGE thank you to mamasankey over at <a href="http://mommymmsankey.blogspot.com/">Surviving Motherhood</a> for giving TPRM the Cherry on Top award! I am so completely honored because I just love her blog.

<br />
1. Answer this question: If you had the chance to go back and change one thing in your life, would you and what would it be?<br />
2. The second thing you have to do is, pick 6 people and give them this award. You then have to inform the person that they have gotten this award.<br />
3. The third and final thing is, thank the person who gave you the award. </span> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

Yes the other boys (emphasis on boy) I dated (and married one- :O lol) gave me a lot of experience on how to (and how not to) treat another person, how to have a real, honest relationship, how to recognize and stop playing games, and how to love someone more than you love yourself (among other things. I'll spare you the gruesome details. LOL!). But none of these lessons would compare, to me, to having only loved and cared for and given my all to my best friend, soul mate, partner in crime, and true love- my husband. And only him. I didn't meet him till I was 21, but I would wait 100 years for him if I had the chance to do it all over again. I love you babe! <3</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

There are so many great pictures, picking a winner is gonna be tough!<br />
<br />
Thankfully though, that burden will not be mine to bear. My very first guest judge will be none other than my amazing photography teacher, <a href="http://www.lisawiltse.com/">Lisa Wiltse</a>! She is awesome and if you haven't checked out her stuff yet, do yourself a favor and click the link above and visit her site. She has some amazing photography on there- you won't regret it!<br />
<br />
She will be picking a winner, 3 runners up, and 3 honorable mentions tomorrow. I will also be picking some of my favorites. :D<br />
<br />
So check back on Friday to see if your picture placed! And remember- I love all of your pictures, no matter where they place! :) You can pick up some lovely buttons to place on your page if you place!<br />
<br />
And because I'm lazy- go here to check out what you win if you place!<br />
http://thepunkrockmom.blogspot.com/2010/08/its-photo-challenge-time-dont-forget.html<br />
<br />
The winner and 3 runners up will all have their pictures placed in the vote off after all of my challenges (4 more) are over. The winner of the vote off will also win a few amazing prizes! Again, lazy. Check the link above for the prizes and rules. :)<br />
<br />
Thanks again!<br />
<3tprm<br />
<br />
PS- My new challenge will be a little late (probably will be posted Friday or maybe Monday) because this week's lesson had to be pushed to Thursday b/c Lisa got attacked on a photo shoot in Rio last Friday! :O She's ok now and she didn't get hurt, but I told her to take a break! So we're starting up again tomorrow. So look for a new challenge soon!thepunkrockmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11667344530988079501noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613372258519205144.post-4744921123510508022010-08-31T16:05:00.000-07:002010-08-31T16:05:32.230-07:00Last day for my photo challenge/contest!

She has an awesomely hilarious blog- she keeps me rolling on the floor daily with tales from her mommy-hood. Some of my favorites being when she blogs about her gorgeous and <a href="http://www.thismommyshood.com/2010/08/my-kid-is-coolest_24.html">coolest-son-ever Austin</a>, her many <a href="http://www.thismommyshood.com/search/label/Thirty%20Days%20of%20Truth">days-of-truths</a>, and her <a href="http://www.thismommyshood.com/2010/07/start-of-my-morning.html">random adventures</a> that let me know that she is a <a href="http://www.thismommyshood.com/2010/04/boo-to-you-cellulite.html">woman</a> and <a href="http://www.thismommyshood.com/2010/07/shower-fail.html">mommy</a> after my own heart. <3 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She blogs with honesty and humor and I have, on more than one occasion I believe, told her how much I flipping just love her face.

</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">So the duties, as Kiranda so excellently puts it, for each award is to thank the person that gave you the award [<i>check</i>], list 7 things about you that you haven't revealed to the bloggy-verse as of yet [<i>check</i>], and pass them on to the bloggers that deserve them [<i>check</i>]!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here are my facts and some bloggy love to my awesome followers!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div><div><ol><li>The last awesome book I read was Stephen King's <u><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Under-Dome-Novel-Stephen-King/dp/1439148503">Under the Dome</a></u>. If you have not read this yet, I <i>highly</i> recommend it. It's awesome. Very. </li>
<li>We just noticed there are fresh black berries growing behind our house and all up and down our street. So I am currently learning to make all things black berry. Jelly, jam, ice cream, etc. Who wants to come over? :D</li>
<li>I love to sew, paint, make crafts, etc, but I am SO <i>lazy</i> at actually doing them. It almost takes an act of God to actually get me over to my craft space sometimes. </li>
<li>The Just Dance video game for the Wii is my new favorite work out. It actually has 'Lump' from The Presidents of the United States of America as one of the songs! SWEET.</li>
<li>Blimps freak me out.</li>
<li>Flying kites freaks me out.</li>
<li>When I was little, I used to tell people my name was Elizabeth because I hated my name. I'm ok with it now. :)</li>

They are always raw and honest.<br />
However, I also love when people tinker with their pix to add a little bit of zing!<br />
<br />
Since I have a bunch of other stuff, kina important stuff, I needed to do today, of course I've speent the whole morning tinkering with photoshop! Yay for procrastination!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><br />
</div>So here are some before pix and what they look like after I funked with them on teh photoshops. I used simple 'Lomo' techniques, and a few tweaks to make the kids eyes pop. This is my first time using any of these tools, well most of them, so these aren't perfect but I had fun making them. Being a self-taught photoshopper, I feel I did pretty good! Enjoy!<br />

The amazing Lolo from <a href="http://www.crazyaboutmybaybah.com/">Crazy About My Baybah</a> has given me not one, but two awards, and I am so thrilled and humbled. There are so many bloggers that deserve these awards, and I just adore her for choosing me. She is delightful and if you haven't been over there to check out her site, do yourself a favor and get on over there! For more about her blog, see my review of it in the post preceding this one. :)<br />
<br />
Here are the two awards I humbly accept and am exceedingly grateful to receive:<br />
<br />
First up is the Blogger Buddy Award!<br />

When I was little, I used to think food had feelings and if you didn't eat all of your dinner, the left over food would be sad. Like it didn't get to fulfill its one purpose in life. I was a weird kid. ;)</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

In no particular order...<br />
Here we go!<br />
<br />
First up is the amazing Claire from <a href="http://clairescreationsandphotography.blogspot.com/">Claire's Creations and Photography</a>.<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://www.clairescreationsandphotography.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/adyingremedy/DSC_0304-2-1.jpg" /></a></center><br />
<br />
Since I <a href="http://blogbrewreview.blogspot.com/2010/08/claires-creations-and-photography.html">already reviewed this site of hers</a> over @ <a href="http://blogbrewreview.blogspot.com/">Blog Brew Review</a>, I want to highlight her other blog-<br />
<a href="http://deardiary-turnedwideopen.blogspot.com/">Dear Diary- Turned Wide Open</a>.<br />
I was so excited and truly touched when I saw she started this blog. Excited because I think she rules and touched because she has a truly incredible story to tell.<br />
She details her life from her early life as a single mom to her beautiful daughter and the trials and triumphs they experienced.<br />
She goes on to talk about her incredible hubby, what it's like being 'married to the military' and the hardships and experiences of being pregnant while her husband was deployed. If you haven't been to check out this blog of hers yet, get your rear in gear and get over there! You won't regret it. :)<br />
<br />
Next up is the lovely Lolo from <a href="http://www.crazyaboutmybaybah.com/">Crazy About My Baybah</a>.<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://www.crazyaboutmybaybah.com/"><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/2qve45f.jpg" /></a></center><br />
<br />
Her site is just like it sounds- she's crazy about her baybah! And who wouldn't be, he's flipping adorable!<br />
She blogs about everything from her fun adventures with her family, reviews and giveaways and she is always posting the most gorgeous pictures she takes! Her bog is amazing and so much fun and she is just about the nicest person you'll meet in the bloggy world. Go check out her site! Like now!<br />
<br />
Next we have the awesome Michelle from <a href="http://www.falafelandthebee.com/">Falafel and the Bee</a>.<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://www.falafelandthebee.com/"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/littlepunk17/falafelandthebeebuttonimage.jpg" /></a></center><br />
<br />
Can I just say, first of all, she takes THE most fantastic pictures this side of the Mississippi! If for no other reason, please go over there and check out her pix. For your own good! :) But you should visit for a lot more reasons- her family is adorable (so jealous of the natural red heads!), her adventures are awesome, and she has a fantastic style of writing- you can totally understand what she's going through when she posts. So I highly recommend you visit her site, and soon!<br />
<br />
And last but certainly not least, the wonderful Malin from <a href="http://blessyourheartyall.blogspot.com/">Bless Your Heart, Y'all</a>.<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://s796.photobucket.com/albums/yy247/MomtheBomb13/blog%20tools/?action=view&current=DS_HeartEmbellishment.gif" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy247/MomtheBomb13/blog%20tools/DS_HeartEmbellishment.gif" /></a></center><br />
<br />
And with a blog title like that, how can you NOT want to go visit? I love it! She is as sweet as the title of her blog and I fell in love with her blog at first bloggy sight! She is hilarious and I simply cannot get enough of her posts- whether they are about how aliens have obviously been enrolled in her third grade class instead of actual human third graders, or her lists of WHY stupid things happen, I get lost in her posts and hate to have to walk away to actually do some house work. Do yourself a favor and go check her out. You have a lot of hilarious catching up to do!<br />
