100 posts, 1 yr. Blogoversary, and Earth Day!

Hello everyone! Guess what?!

This is my 100th blog post and my 1 yr blogoversary!! It all started 1 yr. ago today where of course I made a post about Earth day -see HERE.

For the longest time -I had heard about blogging but, I was like yeah right -Put my personal info -Just out there -On the internet?! But, I soon learned it's not just about that. Sure it can be a cathartic journal of sorts albeit on a very open forum. But, also for me I also wanted to share other information -to communicate and connect to other people...

Since becoming more active on the 'net during this new age of social networking -I got more and more into parenting websites and the like. Sure, I contributed to a few here and there trying to climb that ladder if you will. But, eventually I started this- my own -"Mommy Blog". As you can probably tell from that very first post I've always wanted to share information to help families-Whether it'd be a useful tip or just sharing something someone can relate to.

And I am glad that I did eventually get a "job" on Examiner.com -Now that is where I post most of my "professional" information; tips. For example my latest article about events to Celebrate Earth Day. I was also planning an article about recycled toys -similar to my very first blog post. But, alas busy-ness and procrastination has kind of taken over that for now -Oy.

I guess I'm kinda blabbing on- But, this blog is now more a place for my personal stories mostly of The Mom Mayhem variety ;)

And I appreciate all those that read it! And comments are of course great too ;)

I don't always know the direction things will take -Blog wise, or life in general. Today in fact I'll be out making sure my son gets enrolled for school and we'll have to see how that chapter goes... Anyways,

A BIG THANK YOU to all of you- for your support! And have a Happy Earth Day!!!

Happy Earth Day !

Happy Earth Day!

In honor of Earth Day I wanted to share some tips that not only help save the earth but, also help save you money!

Of course we all know about recycling -Which not only includes paper products,glass,aluminium cans but, also -Clothes! -Yes all those clothes that your kids have grown out of-Not only can you give them to charities;other kids. But, you can make quilt patches-etc.,for those clothes that are too ratty you can always use them for rags. And don't forget about those socks that don't have a match! You can use those for rags,make sock puppets and all sorts of things!

In fact there's plenty of everyday things you can make into toys! You know how kids love the box sometimes more than the toy anyway =D

You can use empty kleenex boxes,cereal boxes,baby wipe boxes into big;fun building blocks or dominoes. It's always good to take a fresh look at the everyday objects around you and see what can be recycled.

If nothing else take a nature walk and see what fun things you can come up with that you find and enjoy -Earth Day!
