There are some funny commercials out there in TV land. When those kind of commercials come on, I instantly stop what I'm doing to watch it, even if I've seen it 20 times. Some of my favorites are the Mac & PC commercials...

So this weeks question:

What Are Some Of Your Favorite Commercials?

Random Picture Challenge - May 16, 2009

This is a pic of the "Wiggles" stage at "The Great Escape".
Tristan was very disappointed because there were no Wiggles, and Captain Feathersword was obviously not him...but he did like watching Henry, Dorthy & Wags.

Summer is almost here, and it's that time of year where I like to take my boys to places that will give them some great memories. Mainly things that are free or inexpensive, like we'll be going to the local school playground once school is out. So my question for this week is...

What are some free to inexpensive things you do with your children?

Small Talk Six - Like Mother, Like Daughter

Today’s topic is “6 ways you are like or unlike your mother.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .


How we are alike:

1. We both are forgiven people. People may hurt us by saying something that is very hurtful, or be used or unappreciated and we forgive them in no time.

2. We both are honest and trustworthy people. We can be count on most of the time. We also tell each other our deepest secrets and thoughts even when we can't tell them to someone else, we tell each other.

3. We both like to scrapbook. When we get a chance, it's so much fun to scrapbook together. While we scrapbook we have our mother/daughter talks, which I always look forward too.

How we are not alike:

4. My mom is more outgoing than I am. If she has something to say, she'll say it. As for me, I don't. I tend to be more shy and quiet.

5. I'm 32 years old and not married with 3 children, though I've only been with 1 partner in my whole life, which we're getting married in June 2010! Mom, was pregnant when she got married at the age of 20, but she's only had 1 partner in her life as well.

6. We don't look anything alike. I resemble more of my father's side of the family.

So for almost all my life I've been a "Slob". I'm the queen of clutter and I hate it. I'm trying to get control of the clutter now, but when something needs a home, I'm not sure where to put it. I know there is probably a lot of ideas of organizing things out there on the web, but it can be very overwhelming. So for today's question...

Do You Have Any Household Organizing Tips To Share?

Ipod Challenge

Cara over at Every Day, Every Hour, Every Minute put together an Ipod Challenge, so I had to participate! All you do is sit and listen to your Ipod/MP3 player and set it to shuffle/random and write down the first 24 songs that come up. It gives us a way to know each other more. Sounds like fun don't it!

I decided to put my music on a playlist instead of typing it in, here's my 24.

Error Codes

Oh boy, I had a scary moment. I kept getting a bX-r1ezpk error code on my blog but now it's fixed. If anyone has the same problem just go to Layout -> Edit HTML -> Revert Widget Template To Default

Worked for me!
