here's to happiness


Happy Friday Everyone!

Got this great idea from the rockstar diaries to make a list of 10 things that make me (or you) happy!!!

Here are mine..., feel free to leave a comment with a link to yours!

1. The crazy laughs of my children;
2. Hubby's Huge Hands (and feet too...);
3. Lemonade (preferably spiked) and "Tasty Sandwiches";
4. Getting a phenomenal sale price on something I need (or didn't need!);
5. Reading a book by the fire;
6. Camping in our pop-up on the beach;
7. Potty Training is almost over;
8. Telling my daughter all about me as a kid and her grandma's, great-grandma's etc.;
9. Pool parties in Summer with wet towels, BBQ's, fresh fruit, etc.
10. Looking forward to the next holiday or get-together with family.
11. Reading other people's blogs like this one with their cool ideas..., Oh my. I guess I have 11 too!!!

needle + thread + a dress



Anyone making their own wedding dress? Or having one made for them? We want to know!

Also, is anyone having anything special sewn into their dress? My friend got married a few years ago and had her late father's wedding ring sewn into the underside of the bodice. Not for others to see, just for her to know it was close to her...

I cried and cried like such a baby at that wedding. Such an old, dear friend..., now a new mommy!

Linda & Harriett




The Moose has to be my favorite..., Linda & Harriett is having a 50% off sale!

Check out his little bum on the back of the notecard!

(I got their Moose notepad last year and fell in love...)

technical difficulties



Ok. A nice person from Blogger got right back to me regarding my problem... I don't think it's a "known issue" but they gave me some ideas on how to rectify this technical difficulty!

I got rid of my feedburner and my newly added blogger favorite bloglist.

It seems that this only happens to blog pages that have "link to this post" by their comments page. (FYI)

If anyone can think of any other reason links from me seem to appear all by themselves on other bloggers pages..., PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

And thanks in advance for any help... and I am so sorry if this has happened to you and inconvenienced you in any way.

Blogger Help

Any other blogspot bloggers having "errors" on their sites? I just got back from a long weekend and got 2 emails from other bloggers asking why on earth was I "linking" to their posts like 70 times!!!???

I don't even know what that means, to be honest, and I never even looked at the posts they are talking about!

If you have any answers, I am asking you to please leave a comment or email me with some help.

I'm about to cry..., I feel so bad!

Thanks in advance.
