i feel pretty… oh so pretty…
y’all, i’ve been nominated for the Top 25 Moms with Style on Circle of Moms.
to say i’m stoked doesn’t even touch on how i feel in mah gut. i’m over the moon to be included with such a fantastic group of strong and beautiful women.
typically i am found on this side of the camera… which i have come to truly adore…
on rare occasions *cough* like, for the sake of the “about” page of this here blahg, i’ll snap a quick shot on my laptop (even if it means my tattoos show up flip flopped…)
and then there are times when i’ll do what moms don’t typically do… i’ll spend time on myself.
::GASP:: THE HORROR!!!!!!!!
i’ll remember that i while i am a mother, i am also a woman, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an individual who enjoys expressing myself and my style…
so from now until april 28th, you can vote for me, once a day, by clicking on the pink button at the top of this post (it’s also on my sidebar) or you can CLICK HERE and go directly to the voting page that has been set up for My Bottle’s Up.
thank you so much!!! it’s lovely to be included. have a perfectly purty weekend!!!
(a) good morning
while snuggling with a feetie-clad jackson this morning, i’ve been scoping out some new blogs. it amazes me when i catch a small glimpse of how many blogs are out in the world right now.
needless to say, i’m enjoying being a reader at the moment.
and then i stumbled across this… which seemed gloriously appropriate given the way i’ve been feeling lately. i couldn’t not share it with you.
naked time
ya’ll know there’s a group of bloggers who got next to naked for charity, right?
good! we’re excited too.
as you’re cyber-mondaying yourself today, please sneak a peek at the calendar over here and then proceed to the check out line, knowing that you’re supporting the National Eating Disorders Association with each purchase you make.
after that, go ahead and get naked.
be comfortable in your skin.
if you feel so inclined to share yourself, in your skin, please link up at the blogger body calendar’s flickr group. you don’t have to be one of the 12 crazies in the calendar to show and share your goodies.
many thanks and happy naked time… all the time.
stickin it to cancer with local flavor
cancer sucks. it’s a nasty beast that plagues too many that we all know and love.
a very precious friend of mine and paul’s made me aware of a gift drive taking place that benefits young adult cancer patients and their families.
upon getting involved in this project, sarah made me aware that…
our drive is from now until 10 December and we are accepting gifts at the UMD Cancer Center, Mother’s Federal Hill Bar and Grill, and the UCF office in Columbia, MD. If people prefer to make a financial donations they can do so in 5$ increments on the website: ulmancancerfund.org under “get involved/gift drive.”
On December 9th we are holding an event to celebrate the gift drive at Mother’s Federal Hill Bar and Grill, and everyone gets food and booze by bringing an unwrapped gift to the door!
I am asking for unwrapped new gifts for anyone between birth and 36 years old. Many of the patients have had far more challenging lives than I can imagine and will benefit greatly from even the smallest donations. I want to get the word out and promote as much as possible because I know a weak economy and Christmas makes gift giving more challenging for everyone. However, keeping this group in mind is important too.
stick it to cancer with me and sarah and help out either in person (if you’re in the maryland area) or please consider making a $5 donation to ulmancancerfund.org
we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
for those of you who can’t join us, please leave a comment below and share what activities you and your family are participating in this holiday season to give back and put a smile on someone’s face.
so there’s this guy…
and he wrote a children’s book.
and ALL proceeds from the book are going to charity.
stop swooning ladies, he’s very happily married. seriously. you’re embarrassing me.
jason and i have been friends for quite a while now, though he is shorter than i am. our friendship that has grown over time is a testament to how awesome the blogging community is. jason is the silly, awkward older brother i never had (doodie jokes included) and i could not be happier for him.
you can purchase his book by clicking right here or right here and not only put a smile on a child’s face, but also be a part of a much greater cause.
you can read more about Garden of Dreams by clicking here, and learn how they work “to make dreams come true for kids in crisis.”

congrats, broheim… “proud of you.”
