Buzzfuse
Buzzfuse is a new service that helps drive more traffic to your blog or website. This service is great for bloggers, artists, musicians, photographers and much more. I just signed up and the process was super easy. I added the blog link to my blog and it all took just a few minutes to do. After singing up you can register your picture, or a post, or even a song. I really think this new service can help all us bloggers get our name out even more. Heck, you can even use it to increase the traffic on your PayPerPost opportunities or blog advertising.

Silly Picture Giveaway
and the rest is history is having a fun and cute giveaway. You could win a 20 dollar gift card. All you have to do is post a silly picture!
hmm what silly photo should I enter? I have a few.
First would be Samantha's lovely wall painting. My in laws were having their house repainted and the painter left his paint down, seriously what two year old could resist wet paint? My favorite part is the tiny feet print leading from the crime scene. Although my mother in law was a little upset we all were laughing hysterically. The painter didn't find it quite as funny as we did.
And of course I have to share my sweet Sarah. I shared this one recently on photo hunt MESSY.
but I just love it. She had so much fun sitting out on the patio with chalk and water making paint. They were entertained for hours!

days off
It is so hard for me to get online when Hubby has his two days off. This week it happened to be Monday and Tuesday. We had a really nice time together. We spent the past two days with my MIL who had snow days! So yesterday we went to IHOP. YUM!!! Then we took MIL to see the houses in Beaumont that we liked. Then we went shopping. I got a new bra and chonies YAY, the girls made out! and so did Hubby!!
Today we went out to Buena Park and had Knotts Berry Farm chicken dinner!! another YUMMO!!! We also visited Hubby's Grandmother, who I adore! It was a short but sweet visit and then we came home.
I also introduced my lovely MIL to Sing Star! Yes, were a bunch of Karaoke-ing fools now.
Anyways, I had a nice time with hubby but am ready for him to go back to work! LOL

Manic Monday

Manic Monday for January 28, 208
If you could have a servant come to your house every day for one hour, what would you have them do? in all honesty I would have them watch the kids so I could go to the gym.
Has your life ever been changed by an apparently random occurrence? yes, getting pregnant with my first. Hubby and I were on the verge of breaking up, and then we found out we were pregnant and then realized how much we loved each other.
You're having dinner with several friends and acquaintances. They all criticize a close friend of yours (not knowing he/she is a friend). The criticism is unjustified. What would you do? I would stand up for my friend. and also want to know why they feel that way about them.

Rule #2You now have to “tag” at least five people and encourage them to participate so that this thing spreads like a virus. Remember, though, that not everyone’s into these kinds of things, so don’t be upset if they don’t participate. Just simply replace your tag. Remember to tag blogs only and no pornographic ones as we do want to keep the integrity as a blogging community. TIP: Tag your frequent EntreCard droppers via its messaging system.

SMART Habit Saturday 17
Here is a recap of the habits I would like to achieve,
*Brush teeth before bed --- bad UGH! I can never remember to do it.
*Read bedtime stories EVERY night to my girls --- bad. :(
*Exercising daily!- I did pretty bad this week, the weather has been horrible so I went to the gym only twice this week.
I also want to get back into scrap booking-- haven't even started on this one. POOEY!
MY HABITS!!!
*Make Dinner for Hubby every night ---- this is a habit, I make a menu for each week and then make a grocery list, I just follow the menu and it has worked great!
*************************************************************
"I want to start with just a few things for next week and next Saturday add one new thing to my list, and so forth. Lara says it takes 21 days to make a habit out of something."

Sam lost her 2nd tooth!
I can not believe that Sam has lost her second tooth this morning! She went to brush her teeth and the tooth brush pushed the little tooth right out. It's funny because this morning I was telling hubby that her tooth might come out today and he would have to stop at Walmart and pick her up something from the tooth fairy. He said why, and I told him that last time the tooth fairy left her a barbie doll. He told me "well that's not fair, all I got was a quarter!" LOL... yeah times are changing dear hubby!

Works for me Wednesday

Have a WFMW tip you'd like to share with the blogosphere? Remember to look through the guidelines, especially if this is your first time to participate. As always, thanks for playing along!
One thing that helps me a lot is making a menu plan. I go grocery shopping on Thursdays, so I make a menu for the week, then I make a grocery list. I always have a budget for the store so I know exactly what to buy and how much to spend. I always round up too at the store so I end up spending less than I expected.
