Quick, Bring the Smelling Salts!

...'Cause I'm a-swoonin'! (And I am also suddenly old-timey and southern, it seems.) 

I have been given my first blogging award and I feel honored! I am, after all, just a humble little blogger with a humble little blog. So it means a lot to me that I have been chosen to receive the Versatile Blogger Award.



Thanks to Kiranda from Welcome to Mommyhood, for giving me this award!

The rules that govern this award are that I must share seven random facts about myself (fun!) 

1.   When I was 18 I joined a local beauty pageant even though I thought it was stupid just so I could go on their fun day trips
2.   I like the idea of keeping secrets but in reality I hate holding anything back.
3.   Before I met Phillip I was convinced I never wanted to have kids.
4.   I want to win the lottery just so I can underwrite an opera.
5.   When I read, hear or see letters and numbers I also "see" colors associated with them. Like "A" is yellow, "B" is orange, "C" is blue or purple. The number 1 looks white, 2 is green, 3 is pink, etc etc. Its a condition called Synesthesia. 
6.   I am fascinated with Russia and want to learn how to speak Russian.
7.   I purposefully avoid people who talk so much they barely let you answer before continuing with their story.

As a recipient of this award I must also pass the award on to 15 other bloggers. Since I haven't been doing this very long I am not sure I even know of 15 other blogs, so I am going whittle it down to 3 very deserving bloggers:

Teri from My Everyday
Sara from Jubooish
Randi from 100 Books, 365 Days and Watch My Garden Grow


Congratulations to these 3 great bloggers! Go check 'em out... and y'all come back now, y'hear?

    I've always been interested in Synesthesia. Just learned about it last year. Loved learning about you!

    I'm here via Amber's blog, and I love yours! I used to live in Las Vegas - my oldest son was born there - so your title caught my interest first thing.

    And Synesthesia? WOW! I've heard of that, but never met anyone who actually had the condition. I think it's so neat! :)

    Thanks Amber!

    Rita- what hospital was your son born in?

    Roosterruler - I always thought everyone saw colors... found out as an adult that it is not normal! LOL

The Sweetest Little Thing

The giveaway is closed to new entries! I will be selecting a winner at random and will notify the winner soon! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am doing a giveaway for a beautiful, sweet little girls' apron. It ties around the back, has buttons down the front and has a cute little pocket for your chef-in-training to keep their mandolin or their chinoise in. Or whatever else fits. As you can see, it is pink with white polka dots and white trim. The buttons alternate in pink and white. I made this myself, and I will make one for you too! Well, not really for you. Unless you are a child who is extremely adept at using a computer to visit blogs. Which there probably are some. But really, it is for your daughter, your granddaughter, your neighbor's daughter, your niece, your BFF's daughter, or any other little girl that you love enough to try and win this for. You can also see more pictures of the apron over at Airing My Dirty Laundry . Entering is easy. Ways to enter are: 1. F

Pinot's Palette Town Square

The twins have been born!! In case you are wondering why I have been posting so little lately, this explains my absence. It's pretty amazing to snuggle two fuzzy baby heads instead of just one! But... it is also twice the work. Because of this, the sleepless nights and monotony of daily life tend to take their toll. Add into the mix 4 other children, whom I homeschool, and you get a mama who is in need of a good night out with friends. I have yet to attend a paint and sip studio, but I am kinda dying to get to one! The idea of relaxing with friends and having a chance to paint with something other than finger paints is very appealing to me right now. A little birdie told me that Pinot's Palette is opening a new location at one of my favorite spots - Town Square. In fact, it seems they're partnering with St. Jude's Research Hospital for their opening weekend on April 7th and 8th . I love a successful company that finds ways to pass on their good fortune, don't y

My Big Break

I made another video, starring ME. This is my big break. I am going to be discovered, I just know it. Leave me a comment and tell me how much of a fan you are and how you are going to name your children and/or pets after me. Follow me on Twitter. Stalk me a little. Ok, do not stalk me. I will call the cops on you. But you can totally dress like me, that would be cool. I am not sure where you are going to find such hip and stylish clothes, but it might be Target. I am neither denying nor confirming. I have had so much fun with all of this, I feel so privileged to have worked with Graco at the Expo! Don't forget to enter the giveaway of a Graco Direct Connect Baby Monitor!!
