March 27, 2011 | Posted by Chelsey

This weeks challenge: Sweet.
The challenge: The challenge will be based around your children. Take or find a photo of your baby (or kid… or puppy… or kitty). This could be as literal as a dessert or hershey kiss. OR it could be a sweet moment you captured with a friend or family member or pet?

My example of “Sweet”:

……………………..

Here are a couple links to some free photo editing software if you don’t already have something:
Picnik
Picasa
Gimp
Pixlr

……………………..
Remember: my photo challenges do require you to have either your children or one of your furry children (pets) in the photo. It could be just one finger… or a toe… but, they must be there.
There always has to be rules… I know, boring right? But, it’s to help me and you. 🙂 Click on this link for more details… Each entry does need to link back to my blog… All photo entries need to be in by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on March 31st…
……………………..

Guess what…. after 4 challenges there will be a week long vote off of the winners from the 4 previous challenges… 1 more challenge to go…

Winners so far:
Simple Beauty: … Hella Kids …

Peace: … K. Laudick Photos …

Green: … Babes in Boyland …

Sweet: … no one yet …

And, if you all get a moment….

I’d LOVE a vote! 😀

Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Guess who’s wearing cloth diapers?

March 23, 2011 | Posted by Chelsey

{Not me! But, Ruari is! I got them from my sponsor, Tiny TreeHugger. We just started using them on Tuesday. And yes… I’ve already had to deal with a poopy cloth diaper. Ewww! She had mashed potatoes the night before. That equals=mushy gross poo stuck to cloth! Eww. Yup. Eww. But, it wasn’t a big deal. I haven’t washed them yet (I did soak them). We’ll see how that goes. Gross little pooping baby. ;D}

{Also… I did a vlog for Vloggin’ Vednesday. This weeks topic is: Guilty Pleasure. Don’t forget… if you vlogged this week to link it up over at Adeline’s Daddy!}

{If you have a Wordless{ish} Wednesday, please feel free to link it up below. BY the way: Shawntae from A Little King and I now share our Wednesday Linky’s. :D. And, feel free to link up to these blogs too… 5 Minutes For Mom, Parenting by Dummies, A Beautiful Mess, Supermom, and Live and Love Outloud.}

Lend a Hand, Help Japan

March 22, 2011 | Posted by Chelsey

So, I mentioned yesterday that Jill from Chronicles of Corbin has gathered up some crafty people to giveaway a massive prize to a lucky winner! All you have to do to enter is donate $5 and leave a comment on her blog post. Donate and enter to win here!

AND, if you don’t have $5 to donate… please, blog/tweet/facebook about this. Just spreading the word helps. I cannot even imagine what it’s like for the people that lost their families and homes in Japan. Are they getting enough food? Medical help? Staying warm? Every little donation helps. And, you have the chance to win a prize.

Winners are chosen at random on March 28th! It’s a quick little fundraiser. So, please spread the word! I’m donating my $5 and spreading the word as far as I can! So easy.

❤ Chelsey
