Perception is SO close to Perfection

When I first started this blog, I thought it had to be perfect.  I posted beautiful pictures of crafts, lovely essays ofbaby girl, and cool tips and tricks.  Then one day, I read a great posting about being a blog snob by Morgan from the Inklings of Life which got me thinking about perception and perfection. 

Later that day, I went to the dog park with Annabelle and Cricket.  I pulled my fancy jogging stroller out of the trunk.  The blasted thing was (and is) so heavy it fell to the ground and splattered in the mud.

The Posh Daisy! Awesome Jewelry and Amazing Woman

{Posh Daisy} sent out a Facebook request for a sponsor swap and since this whole blogging thing is new to me, I jumped at the chance to learn something new and delve into the intricacies of momma blogging and all that comes with it. 

She helped create my new button and gave me the code for it.  Not only was it incredibly generous, this girl is super busy and I'm not sure how she manages to find time to do everything she does!  . 

Thank you so much Cerisse, you rock!

Please stop by and check out her website!  And that's not all ... her jewelry is just as amazing  ~  she has these hand stamped necklaces that are PERFECT for weddings, baby showers, mother's day, grammas, aunts, and everyone in between.  Go check her out on Etsy!

Cloth Diapers Plus Baby Wipe = Easy Clean

I am what you would call the Convenient Environmentalist.  I want the fast, easy, convenience of throwaway items but with an environmental edge.  When Annabelle was born, I purchased Fuzzy Bunz cloth diapers.  They are easy to use, it snaps on easy, they are adjustable for size and they go right into the wash.  EZ PEASY.  Except when she poops.  Then I have to use a spoon and clean up is harder so after a month I stopped using the cloth diapers.  Hence, my term, the Convenient Environmentalist.  After a month of using Whole Food diapers and feeling guilty about it, I came up with the idea of popping a dry flushable baby wipe on top of the cloth portion of the diaper.  Now, I just toss the dirty wipe into the toilet and {yay} I can go back to my cloth diapers because using them is easy again and I don't have to spoon crap off into the toilet. 

Pinterest Party Blog Hop

Pinterest Party Hop is something new I'd like to try.  It's a combo blog hop/Pin It party where we will Blog hop & Pin other people's pictures.  It will kind of be like the lottery, and hopefully drive a RePin event on your website and drive great traffic.  I'm excited to see how it goes and who links up!
