Kid crafting

The kids made some masks out of paper plates (just a random day I was trying to give them something fun to do):

I had good intentions...

I really had good intentions of taking pictures and uploading them of layouts I have made at the last swarm and since then. Really, I did.

Then I got sidetracked and started a new blog about some things that I have been researching and discovering within the last year or so due to some health issues I have had. I plan to use it more of a reference page than actual blogging, but will update it when I find new information. If you care to take a peek...here it is:

Be a blogger, and a follower...

I just noticed all these things saying "Follow This Blog" on some blogs I like to visit and decided to check out what it is all about. I think it is a great idea. You can follow all the most recent posts of blogs you like to visit from your Blogger Dashboard.

To get some followers of your own, go to "Customize" and then on your blog layout, click on "Add A Gadget". Click on the plus sign nest to "followers" and then save your changes and you can start having blog followers (leave me a comment if you add this or already have it on your site). If you'd like to follow my blog, just look over on the right side of my page and click "Follow This Blog".

***EDIT***
I just found out you can follow a blog even if the person you want to follow has not gone through the steps above. On your "Dashboard", go to your "Reading List"...below that is a button that says "Add", and when you click on it, you can add the URL of whatever you want to follow. I even added some to mine that are not Blogger blogs. Anyway, just thought I'd share!

Really, I do plan to post some pictures of some layouts I have done...I am just slow going at getting pictures taken of them. But for now, this "update" will have to do.

and PS...two more months (and counting) until our new baby boy is set to arrive!!!
