    Yep. That’s me.

    I’ve found that now that I leave to go to work at 3:30, I’m trying to spend more time with the kids during the day, clean during naptime (normal blogging time), and when I get home I close the computer and spend time with Doug. It’s been great! But over here, it shows.

    Here are your giveaway winners and other updates:

    ---------------------------------------

    The winner of the CSN $35 gift card is:image image

    The winner of the Lowe’s $5 giftcard is:

    imageCheck your inbox, I’ll need your address so I can send that card out to you!! Fudge Truffle sounds amazing and I hope you’ll email me a picture so I can see how your armoire turns out. 🙂

    ---------------------------------

    I want to thank all of you for entering, commenting, viewing, and sticking around while I’m out playing hooky. Hellooo to my new readers, and a big hug to my old friends. 🙂

    ---------------------------------

    -What happened while I was playing hooky?

    -I was beyond-words-excited to see that my String Wall Art in the Kids’ Room was featured on Be Different, Act Normal. Seeing my picture on her site gives me goosebumps!!!

    -We reached 500 followers, yay!!!

    -Ben started sitting. Then rolling. Then crawling. Now he can stand with a bit of help, leans in to give me kisses, and says “mama,” “dada,” and “b-b-b-b.” Lily loves the last one, the B is her favorite on the Letter Factory. 🙂

    -This lady won Crafting with the Stars! WOOO HOOO! Go Team Mandi!! I’ve been in awe of her mad skillz since I first stumbled upon her blog. We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy!

    -aaaaaand I finally picked a paint color for something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, involving almost every room of my house. I bought the primer, I bought the paint. You take a guess, and I’ll keep you posted… 😉

    thanks for reading our feed, please stop by the house for a visit sometime soon. 🙂

    1. How To Make Him Desire You Free Download

      December 05, 2013 at 2:06 pm

      As long as you keep trying to get him back, your ex is in control.
      Some women inadvertently "train" a man to NOT call by becoming angry, emotional or cold when he does
      call. If you show your desperation within, your ex is goin to avoid you as he realise you have behind the things that you do to make him want you back.

      The tail, also called "brush", is bushy and is used to
      cover the body during cold weather. Modern insulin pumps are programmable in order to compensate your food excess by calculating how many more insulin units must pumped into your blood stream.
      This helps you avoid over eating and eating junk
      food.

      Steady, controlled movements are the key to learning what it feels like to work a
      specific muscle or muscle group. This minor trick will be a lot more organic for your rotator cuffs and would put minor strain in your physical exercise.
      The compression forces on the legs and spine produced by what are classed as "normal" activities such as running
      and jumping are upto 5 times the bodyweight and it is
      unlikely that any liftable weight will be able to match this.
