Last weekend, I was faced with a bout of Writer's Block.  There aren't many times when I have nothing to say, so I was puzzled.  Read about how I dealt with it here.

Just 1 week until my son turns 13.  A bit of teen humor! (Note: This is not a text from my son.  I found it on the internet).

I went ahead and changed my blog design despite the fact that my son is not officially a TEEN.  Here's what it looked like before.  The redesign is fully accredited to my son, who not only turns from TWEEN to TEEN, but also FINALLY taught his supposedly Tech Savvy Mom, how to use Photoshop.

My monster leg rash has calmed down a lot.  I'm glad to say I should be able to wear shorts this summer without scaring innocent bystanders.

May 21st marked the beginning of the astrological sign, Gemini.  My Mother, Brother and Son are all Geminis. What's even more interesting is that my Grandmother had my Mother, when she was 19, my Mother had me when she was 19 and I had my Son when I was 19.  To top it all off, I am 10 years older than my brother and he is 10 years older than my son.  Speaking of birthdays, do you know how many people you share your birthday with?

I had the opportunity to answer a common question among bloggers about organization and time.  I've decided to share what I've (quickly) learned as a blogger with fellow bloggers with the first of many tutorials per se.  Find out how to nix the paper planner (if you're digitally inclined) whether you're on Blogger or WordPress.

Regarding my blog; I am doing well and continue to receive inquiries directly from companies who would like to partner to review their products.  With that, I have a few new reviews coming up.  At this point, I can only semi-understand charging for a review.  If I am fortunate enough to receive a free product to use, review and keep, as well as potentially receiving one to give away, that's compensation enough.  I also have a full-time job outside of the home, though.  This is how I CHOOSE to spend my time.  With that, the review opportunities come in a bit more slowly, but allow me ample time to fully consider my opinion on the product(s).  However, it continues to increase my readership.  As the circle continues, it increases my opportunities and what little compensation I receive for advertisements on my site (i.e I don't even have enough to cash out yet).

Still LOVING the comments! It drives me! If you like my M.O. please follow me! Find out how here.

I have an 8th Snippet this week! Thank you so much to Andi at Bringing the Sunshine for this great link-up! It really feels like ME! Though Andi has a more serious agenda, Seven Snippets has really encouraged me to focus at least one blog post per week on what's really going on in my family.  I'm still FAR from the goal, but I'm getting there.
