I know the future 13-year-old Ruari will not like that I’m talking about her poop with the world… but…

I don’t know when it happened exactly… but, Ruari’s poops are no longer cute! Yes, they were a little cute before… and, they smelled like buttered popcorn… not anymore!!! It is over. They are gross little human poops. Why? When can I potty train her?

Now that she’s eating more solids she poops SO much! I change a poopy diaper like 2-3 times a day… So stinky! AND: she’s super wiggly when I change her… I’ll let you imagine how messy that can get. 🙂

How can someone so cute be so stinky? That’s today’s question. 🙂

TODAY is the LAST day to enter the Valentines Photo Challenge! 

You have a chance to win a ton of awesome prizes!!!

Blogger Robber update: I emailed the guy and said: “…please remove these posts and please stop re posting my posts immediately. Remove any blog posts you have taken from this URL: http://www.thepapermama.blogspot.com.

Please do this as soon as possible. If this does not happen in a timely manner I will have to file a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice. Thank you.” I found the information here: WordPress Content Theft

He was very nice about it and apologized. Yay!

A vote for my blog?

 
Wow… I went to dinner and came home to find so many amazing helpful comments about my stupid blogger robber (http://zenithjamal.info/)! Thanks you! SOOOOoooo much!

I’ve learned just a teeny bit… I found out this guy, Richard, gets his URL through GoDaddy.com. I’ve sent them an email to GoDaddy hoping to get stuff taken down… I will send something to WordPress next.

I believe this guys blog is a SPAM blog…. or a “Splog” as wikepedia called it. Splog definition: Splogs are blogs where the articles are fake, and are only created for search engine spamming.

This person is using my blog posts and OTHER mom bloggers posts to get people to click on their links. If you look closely you’ll see there are a ton of random links at the end of each post… GoDaddy.com does NOT allow spamming. Sooo, I’m hoping to get it down. I’ll be sending emails to all the other bloggers I find on there… hopefully we can get it down. It’s very creepy.

I don’t know if I want to disable the right click on my blog… I enter so many photo challenges I want them to have some access to my photos. Most of my photos are only 640 wide. I’ve heard there is something that you can install on your blog that informs you if content is being copied. Anyone know what this is?

Thanks again for all the awesome advice everyone!!! AND: Thank you to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday! 🙂 Made my day for sure!

Here’s the lame blog… or SPLOG… or clog… whatever: http://zenithjamal.info/

 Hi everyone! Michelle at Pixie Dreams said she saw one of my blog posts on this website: http://zenithjamal.info/

Not only did I find MANY MANY of my blog posts stolen and reposted… but, I found a ton of other mama bloggers too! A few that I saw: A Little King and I, Dear Baby Blog, Boho BabyBump, Josiah’s Nest, A Good Life… and seriously so many more! 

It looks like they source everything… but, they are copying entire blog posts. I don’t really want my baby posted all over they’re blog (which she totally is right now). Anyone know what to do?

And, if you see a blogger you know on that site… let them know. It’s just weird.

{Sooooo… we had a bit of a meltdown when while in the dressing room at Anthropologie… Ruari decided I needed to hold her… immediately… Luckily I had remembered to pack a snack for her so I tossed it her way… that kept her happy for a bit. She pretty much melts down most of the time if I don’t pick her up when she wants me too… Which is all the time. I’m sure it’s just a phase, but it’s killing my back. I do love all the cuddles… but, sometimes I have to pee… or breath. :)}

{AND… don’t forget to enter your Valentine’s photo!!!

Last day to enter is Friday! Awesome prizes for sure!}

AND… I wanted to thank Jasmine, from Oh Boy Drake, for the Stylish Blogger Award! If you haven’t seen her blog yet… go, do it now! Super cute!:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you the award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3.I’m supposed to share this with 15 bloggers… BUT, I’m going to narrow it down JUST a bit. 15 seems like a lot right now while my baby is yelling at me. 😀 How about 4.

7 things about me:

1. It’s my birthday today. 🙂

2. Jasmine, from Oh Boy Drake said she doesn’t like croutons or donuts! I’m so shocked! Cause, I love them!

3. Someone else gave me an award and I accidentally deleted the email… I’m sorry. 🙂

4. I’m trying to raise money to go to BlogHer ’11… you can go here if you’d like to see how you can help!

Can I get a birthday vote?
Thanks!

Do you remember when I asked all of you… my AMAZING readers… for advice for which lens to buy for my birthday (here)? WELL… I have decided. I will be going with a Canon 50mm 1.4 from B and H photo! Yay!

Yay for birthdays!

 

 So… I’m also hoping that this camera strap cover from Eclectic Whatnot magically appears at my home… it probably wont. I’m ok with this. I just want one! Someday. It’s not anything I need… I just want. 🙂

I’d also love a shutter release and a speedlight. Maybe later. 🙂

{Canon Wireless Remote on B and H}

{Speedlite on BH}
