It's time to vote for Julia

Today is the first day of voting in the Evenflo cute baby contest.) EACH email address can vote once a day until the 15th. I would be so grateful for every vote! No need to scroll down to find this post every day, I've added a link to my side bar. :) Julia is the 3rd baby listed so it should only take a couple clicks of the mouse to vote for her.

In related news: The makers of the Kissaluvs cloth diapers we use requested more photos of Julia besides the one they chose as a finalist. Of course I was more than happy to oblige. I'm still awaiting my surprise that the company sent as our reward. The photo I used to make my new header placed second in a local photo competition. (Two other photographs placed first and third in their categories). It's been an exciting summer for taking pictures!!

The following is the email I just got this evening from Hp. I'd completely given up on that contest. Now that's a pleasant surprise!

Holy Guaca-moly you've won!

Congratulations! Your photo entry has made you a lucky third prize winner
in the HP/ Shrek the Third Capture Your Ever After photo contest. Your
prize includes an HP Photosmart A616 compact printer, carrying case, and
an HP Custom 110 Series photo value pack.

    Congratulations! Where did all this photo-taking talent come from? Um, what kind of camera do you have? :)

    That's a good question Yvette! I don't think I've ever blogged about that before. Both my parents were big into photography. My dad did some professional work as a wedding photographer. (so did my mom's brother) I've done a couple weddings, but certainly wouldn't consider myself a professional. I started taking pictures when I was ten years old - gosh has it really been 20 years already? Wow! I guess I do have boxes and boxes of pictures to attest to that fact. I entered photographs in the county fairs for 10 years using a SLR camera that I still own, but haven't touched since I got my digital. I opted for the convenience of a point-and-shoot. It's a Nikon Coolpix 5600. (5.1 Megapixels)
    I'm dreaming of the day I can upgrade to something like Jennifer's digital SLR.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
